So many visitors! As many have said, young and older, Letizia’s voice speaks to many generations. We agree. The other day we welcomed former and current officers of GIZ, and we certainly hope they had a lovely time! GIZ stands for “Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit” which is a mouthful. We hope they’ll be back, with friends and family. If you’ve been to the exhibit, do share your photos.

An exhibit of letters penned by writer and historian Letizia Roxas-Constantino, wife of historian Renato Constantino, opened on Wednesday at the Linangan Gallery on Panay Avenue in Quezon City.

“It is an exhibit that honors the nationalist, the historian, the writer, the generational Filipina that she was. No burloloy, only consition, only substance and something that Letizia embodies, elegance,” he said.

“The exhibit represents a sliver of a fingernail of letters, manuscripts, and other artifacts that she [READ]
