Known to have created a massive impact in the lives of many Cebuano and brought the province into the pedestal during the American Regime, his great contributions as a writer, lawyer, and senator, he earned the title as the \u201cFather of Cebuano Journalism, Language, and Literature<\/strong>\u201d <\/strong>(and the hospital as well).<\/em><\/p>\n
