For the inaugural issue of the new Bikolnon Biograpy Series (BBS), Ateneo de Naga University Press features philanthropist Chito Madrigal whose paternal origin is from the province of Albay. In this brief and intimate account of Alexandra Madrigal Eduque one gets a new window into the lives of this extraordinary woman. Tito Genova Valiente, the series editor writes, ‘Intimate and rendered up-close, the reminiscences do not only bring into the enclaves of Chito Madrigal’s home but also into the heart of this great woman. This is an essay that will remain incomparable because no other writer can write about Chito in the most subjective way, and be not apologetic about such perspective.’
