Two certificates of honor that José Rizal received as a high school student at the Ateneo Municipal will be offered for bidding by Leon Gallery during its Magnificent September Auction on Sept. 14.
The certificates are recorded in “Pictorial Album on Rizal ,” published in 1962 by the National Centennial Commission on José Rizal to mark the 100th birth anniversary in 1961. Provenance is from the collection of the esteemed scholar Don Epifanio de los Santos, after whom Highway 54 is named, “Edsa.”
