Complete the sentence about Manuel L. Quezon with the correct year: Urbina had come to Baler to serve as its parish priest in ______ from Esparragosa de la Serena, Cáceres Province, Spain.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 1847

Manuel L. Quezon was the second president of the Philippines, born in Baler in 1878. His mother María was a Spanish mestiza fathered by the priest José Urbina, who came to Baler as parish priest in 1847 from Esparragosa de la Serena in Cáceres Province, Spain. An arrival in 1862 or 1877 would leave far too little time for María to grow up and have a child by 1878.
