Emelita Almozara, deputy director of National Historical Institute, unveils the historical markers to three stately ancestral mansions in Sariaya, Quezon, giving government recognition to these houses. The unveiling and blessing rites were witnessed by local and provincial government officials, members of Tuklas Sariaya, and immediate members of the clans who own the old houses. Rina Marquez, great-granddaughter of the original owner of one of the mansions, tells of how celebrities and political leaders, including President Manuel Quezon, used to stay in the old concrete house, which the natives call "bahay na bato (house of stone)" adjacent to the centuries-old St. Francis of Assisi Church.
