August 1 this year marked the 5th anniversary of the death of former Philippine President Corazon Aquino. And in the Philippines, we commemorate not only birthdays, but also death anniversaries as well. I don’t know, but it’s a Pinoy thing. Thus this year, an exhibit sponsored by the national daily the Philippine Star and its sister publication PeopleAsia Magazine put up a special exhibit on the former president at the Glorietta Activity Center. Entitled “History and Her Story”, the exhibit gave one a glimpse of the life of the former president told in words and photos, that is if one is not that familiar about her yet.

visit the “Manila: a city beautiful?” exhibit at SM Supermalls
It is rare that you can get to have a glimpse of history in a place as busy, commercial, and modern as a shopping mall. So I must commend SM Supermalls and the Metropolitan Museum of Manila for making such a thing possible as an effort to enlighten and hopefully educate mall-goers about Manila.
