The prince and the poet: Botong and the ultimate collector - The Philippine Star » Lifestyle Features » Arts and Culture

Isang malaking pangarap na makapagpatayo sa bayan ng Angono ng dalawang higanteng Museo  para sa dalawang anak ng Angono na mga Alagad ng Sining.  


Ang una ay para kay Botong na maglalaman ng reproduksyon ng  lahat ng kanyang obra maestra. Sa mga naglalakihang murals na gawa ni Botong ay tunay na magiging higante ang museo na ito. At ang ikalawa ay museo-concert hall para kay Maestro Lucio San Pedro, para bang extension ng CCP sa bayan ng Angono.


Hindi naman masama ang mangarap ngunit kung maisasakatuparan ay malaki ang maitutulong sa patuloy na pagpapayaman sa larangan ng sining at turismo sa bayan ng Angono.

The country was bursting with optimism as well as a steadfast Filipino pride. The future was there for the taking. Men were making matches made in heaven with Miss Universe, couturiers like Ramon Valera and Salvacion “Slim” Lim were confecting visions fit for the Paris runways, and a revolving-door of celebrities from Tyrone Power, Gregory Peck (think Roman Holiday!), Orson Welles, to William Randolph Hearst and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor populated the Manila society pages, while the local business aristocracy would routinely make it to Time Magazine. Sleek skyscrapers, housing nightclubs, theaters, as well as bustling multinational offices, jostled side by side to fill the skyline."
