During the wreath laying, an AFP helicopter threw out five sacksful
of red and white roses. They call it flower drops, i call it
American Beauty.
The wreath was laid in front of a cross and the historical marker
of the Siege of Baler.
The everyone walked out of the compound, through San Luis
streets to the Quezon Park. Bad day for tricycle drivers.
The newly constructed Museo De Baler (finished just the night
before) served as the backdrop for the celebration.

King of Spain. "Ang Pilipinas ay kaibigan ng Espaņa, Noon, Ngayon,
