Only three buildings were however constructed: the Executive House occupied by the National Museum, the Department of Finance Building which now houses the Museum of the Filipino People, and the Department of Tourism Building envisioned to become the future Museum for Natural Sciences.

    It is unfortunate that a vast number of Filipino students are reluctant to understand Philippine history. This may have been brought about by an inadequate background in history and a general tendency on the part of the students to be less conscious of the value of the past to their present life. Or, maybe, such ignorance or apathy may have resulted from the insufficient materials, especially on local history, which is closer to the hearts and minds of the people.…
