AS FVR goes to his reward, his military, political, and personal accomplishments are reviewed and appreciated as well they should be.

One deed has not been mentioned. It was FVR in his time as president who paved the way for the National Museum to have a permanent home. And there it is with three beautiful neoclassical buildings housing Anthropology, Fine Arts and Natural History. The National Museum has been established as a government trust, an institution that is meant to be educational, scientific and cultural, the repository of documents, artifacts, and keeper of the heritage of the Filipino. And it is there in permanent residence, thanks to FVR.
