Victoria Syquia Quirino

Victoria Syquia Quirino (First Lady 1948-1953) – she is eldest daughter of the President Elpidio Quirino who was a widower when he assumed office and was considered as the country’s First Lady. Her mother and three siblings were killed during the Liberation of Manila in 1945. Dubbed as the “Teenage First Lady”, the seventeen year old beauty easily adapted to the whirlwind life with her bubbly personality. Even after her Malacanang stint, she became active in various activities that benefited the people who lived in poverty.

Intramuros will look like Vigan if that area was well preserved and well taken care of after the Philippine Liberation. the Calle Real where it used to be a village area.

It's too bad the Americans bombed Intramuros (The only European style Walled Castle-City in Asia then) and then we were too poor to rebuild it to it's original splendor.
