Family members and friends on Friday celebrated the 125th birthday of former President Elpidio Quirino, highlighting three values--tolerance, goodwill, and love--that he espoused during his six-year rule (1948-1953).

Aleli Angela Quirino, third of the six children of Judge Antonio Quirino, youngest brother of the former president, said that the President Elpidio Quirino Foundation is holding a yearlong celebration called EQ125 to commemorate his legacy.
