Smith, Bell & Co.: House of trade, history and poetry
A century-old, Spanish-style house of stone and capiz shell windows in Tabaco City in Albay looks as illustrious as its former occupant, Angela Manalang-Gloria, regarded as the “matriarch” of Filipino women poets in English.
It was doubly significant, therefore, when the National Historical Institute unveiled two markers at the Manalang-Gloria ancestral home near the city’s international port.
Sitting on a 3,700-square-meter property, the house was built in the early 1900s by a wealthy Bicolano, Don Mariano Villanueva. It was considered one of the most beautiful houses of its kind in the country.

Angela Manalang Gloria Historical Marker
Angela Caridad Legaspi Manalang was born on August 2, 1907 in Guagua, Pampanga to parents, Felipe Dizon Manalang (born in Mexico, Pampanga) and Tomasa Legaspi (who she hardly mentions). However, their family later settled in the Bicol region, particularly in Albay. Caring--as she is fondly called--studied at St. Agnes Academy in Legaspi, where she graduated valedictorian in elementary. In her senior year, she moved to St. Scholastica's College in Malate, Manila, in which her writing started to get noticed.
