Happy birthday, Aurora Aragon Quezon (shown ABOVE in Malacañan Palace).
She was the First Lady of the Philippines, the first Presidential spouse to bear the title, from 1935-1944. After the death of her husband, she continued her civic duties and became the first Chairman of the Philippine Red Cross in 1947.
Today is also the Foundation Day of Aurora, which was created in Mrs. Quezon’s honor as a sub-province in 1951 by President Elpidio Quirino. Aurora became a separate province in 1979.
