I did this sketch on the second day of our #PistaSaUskQC (Urban Sketchers Festival) event on the weekend, after doing a little composition talk. I had thought it was overcast and not too hot – I was wrong, it was sweltering, so I drew this as quickly as I could. The statue of Manuel Quezon (president of the Philippines from 1935-44), by Jose “Al” Rabino Giroy – was put up in 2017, and replaced another by Tolentino.
