In part 2 of the Manolo Quezon episode, he connects the dots from the independence in 1946 that his grandfather Manuel L. Quezon did not live to see, to the fall of dictatorship in 1986 to, finally, what he asserts was the rise of a new national consensus in the 2022 elections.Manolo and Howie tackle the meaning of one of MLQ's most famous quotes: "I prefer a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by Americans, because however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it."Families can appreciate history better, Manolo advises, by doing pilgrimages together to historical sites, and searching out and eating our heroes' favorite food.
