Hey! The draft of the biography which Arnold and I wrote was already reviewed by none other than Gemma Cruz Araneta (the Philippines first internation beauty titlist, a historian, and a Rizal descendant — she’s a granddaughter of Rizal’s sister María Rizal). Her review of our opus was published in her “Landscape” column in Manila Bulletin last Tuesday!
My name was mispelled, however, hehehe (now my identity is revealed… but anyway, I don’t have steady readers yet for this English-language blog of mine, hehehe)! It should’ve been José Mario instead of Jose Maria. But that’s just minor. And I hope that doesn’t happen during the publication of the book.
We appreciate so much Ms. Cruz’s time towards us unknown scribblers.
