In the US I grew up on a diet of fine art museums, and grand quality museums found in NYC and Washington DC. In the Philippines, I have learned to dig a little deeper and broaden my knowledge to fulfil he same desire to learn about things.

It was after 40 yrs. after , that I was able to visit the said Museum, I have known their journey to Davao region to became a 2nd Davao city builders for good and just human settlement. First the Duterte patriarch, the father of our current President of PH, has become the 1st Governor, then a Congressman and a cabinet secretary during late Marcos time. Then followed by Almendras who was also a great political figure in Danao City , Cebu, PH to became also a governor in Davao when vacated by Pres.Duterte's father when he became a cabinet secretary of the late President Marcos. The information gap has been filled up when I visited the said museum for the first time alone after leaving Danao city on the late 60's and studying and working until retirement in Iligan City and Lanao del Norte for 40 long yrs. After all education is a continues process, even retired we can still learn.…
