Saw this when I stepped out of the National Library this morning. Manhole covers are simple, utilitarian, and dull. It takes little effort to make them pretty, connected to the location, and give respite from the political circus we endure everyday.

Did you know that the Lopez Museum & Library preserves the largest collection of Rizal manuscripts and memorabilia, second only to the National Library of the Philippines? Join me on June 20 as I walk you through the collection, its highlights and the insights that reveal Rizal without the Overcoat. Registration opening soon.
I have consulted these for over 40 years now, handling and studying each manuscript to tease and extract history from them.
