 Has been pursuing excellence for his whole career. He, if I read up the bio correctly, worked at Erie for around 60 years, starting as an associate plant physiologist in 1961 and serving as director for administration with his term ending in 1996. Today, he is still a consultant at Erie. He is the chair of the Asia Rise Foundation, the chair of the Los Vanos Physical and Rehab Center, the president of Exotica Flowers and Plants Department, a board member of the National Museum, a board member of the Los Vanos Particulture Society, project leader for the Mamasita Foundation and a member of the Board of Justice at the National Museum as well. And as I was scrolling through the numerous awards that he has to see, the one that I wanted to point out is that he also has been awarded among the National and International Awards he has received, the Outstanding Citizen of Los Vanos Award in 2004. Anyway, I would like to invite the person who when I asked earlier how he would like to be remembered from this event, the person who has spent the most number of lunches with the Manansala paintings in these six decades here at Erie and continuing until today. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dr. Benito Sibu Bergara. Here at Erie, I'm not very sure whether this one started earlier than the other one, but Dr. Chandler, our first director of Erie, commissioned Manansala to prepare two murals and this was in the late 50s. And from that time on, I guess, he got exposed to the art of culture and he came here several times. And he came up with several pairs of murals. I saw the sketches but they were all sent to Ratti Kaila Foundation on for approval. All the Dr. Chandler already selected these two that we will be seeing. After the Ratti Kaila Foundation approved it, Manansala started painting the mural. But in the middle of 1961, the actor Muralskar brought here. The one that is now in the dining room at the back of this was exposed in that lounge there. I probably left it, you know, because it depicted all the games. In that lounge, you have the people, people, the hill yard. They're there. The place they will look like a great year lounge area. We've not painted different games, different in-game games. But the one that foreigners usually ask is, what is that game with people riding in a car around and they're just there. I guess you can understand the other ones but they've never seen the red roll. The full view of the mural, at this one, when it was there, you would see it for 14 meters. So you really get a spectacular view of the murals. At that time, when it opened, we had a the Manalo area that had a art exhibit. And we had paintings of youth, Ben and Gloria and Antonio and other famous painters. Lord, look to us about the atinino gallery in a very hidden place. Then in 1993, the new director wanted to have the Rice Museum. So it was going to be occupied on the first part. I hope that some of you will have a chance to visit the Rice Museum. So we have to move the happy office the post office and all that. We have to move it out of the channel to give space for the Rice World. At that time, the other mural was transferred at this part. And as you can see, it doesn't have a nice viewing as this particular museum. Let me just start with this one. I'm going to call it afterly the Spanish style because, from what I'm saying, I spent so many last hours in this room. And if you see at the end, you have this daily pouring hot water, the healing water of the wonders. And you can see this deep pouring hot water. Until now, people have come to the Spinos to store in the warm water of the Spinos. And we will see at the back, we will see at the back the town chairs at the town proper. And of course, on this side, you can see the rice pointing around the Spinos. At that time, when they had to sterilize this stuff, the work of theory was to make it smart so that it will nap floods so that it could use at your meal. But during that time, you still have those tall rice plants. And then, of course, on the left side, you have the liquid debate and the harvest of fish. And as I pointed out, take it on. I didn't realize it. Yes, probably, that you might have. It just occurred to me when I was talking about it. During the inauguration of evening in February 1962, President Magal, Jean-Diane Rockefeller, and the aspiring president didn't pretend at Marcos IX in this hall. This mural has remained in this hall ever since. But the pollution from the kitchen and the damage from the detergent you know, strong detergent in cleaning this floor and with 70 janitors, they probably have they know they have it on the map. You know, I can't stop. So they have to, in 1984, they have to clean the ground and read some to-touching of the mural. According to the records, even to me, why Paul de la Rio, the person who did the detaching was Dr. Christine DeSensio. And we have not been able to trace where he is from. According to the chief of the cafeteria, somebody from the colleagues told him to contact his person he is from vanilla and he came to to ask this painting. I remember this is Panasala visiting Haiti after the death of Manasala. She was with the doctor. I'm not sure what that is. They came here and my wife asked me, Mrs. Manasala, you know, how much was paid for the school, URLs and this Manasala said, enough to retire. She saw the painting being done in our guest and their workshop but she never saw the tires being made. So she came here to look at the tires. And I hope you can have a chance to take a look at the tires. It is the only tire mural and it's the only one that Panasala has done. It was done by Mani Wasa and of course, I was going to convince Mrs. Manasala to make this as one of the projects of the Panasala Foundation to talk radio. We had a fire in that building and a lot of the ice cream so they had to change it but I think it was not proper than maybe Mani Wasa has the original painting so the foundation could ensure peace and welcome in a way about that but it's quite sad when you wanted to do that. But I think while the two were returned to the evening I was hoping when I was not doing anything one of the Mrs. but of course that's not right. Mani Wasa did not get involved from the project but when I was in charge of meeting years to departing signal staff of Lili so I was hoping at that but going back to the world I think better places needed to preserve these natural heritage for people should be given a chance to do this course of Manasala in an accessible area I grew up in a natural heritage of Manasala for more than 60 years you can take that if you're in good health but please be here who got this behind to inspire us and retain the grandeur of area Thank you
