The story behind a tombstone. . Wandering around the Bangued cemetery by San Lorenzo Shrine, i came across this one, of Pedro V Borgonia. The inscription caught my attention and after researching online this is what i discovered. . "The remnants of the Bayquen Hotel which was leveled to the ground in WW2 was the present location of its building only made of bamboo materials and roofed with cogon. Students of those times even have to use umbrellas to shield themselves from raindrops and even raise their feet to the chairs to avoid the water on floor. In 1948, through the leadership of Mr. Pedro V. Borgoña founded the Abra Valley Junior College, Inc. The old bamboo building was later on re-built into a concrete building that rose into a three-storey structure." From Wikipedia. .
