History of Quezon province : (a definitive history from 1591-2000) / Cesar A. Villariba.

The Definitive History of Quezon Province as written and edited by Dr. Ceasar A. Villariba is a treasured piece of document which should grace the houses of Quezonians, our school libraries, and institutions concerned with our search for truth and values we should live for. The government of Quezon Province and the Quezon Province and Lucena City Historical Society gratefully acknowledge this work of the author who has deservingly earned the connotation as an icon in our beloved province. He is eminently qualified to document our history which he wrote as our people's struggle for justice and liberty. He writes about President Quezon from personal acquaintance with our political, educational, and religious leaders. He writes about the last war in which he was an active participant. He is an authority on the coconut industry having served as chairman administrator of the Philippine Coconut Authority. He is many things in one: an educator, a religious lay leader, a war veteran, a legislator, a coconut industry leader, and a liberated and decolonized Pilipino. --Front cover of the book.
