the Naga Library is named Raul Roco in honor of the late senator and legislator.
the Roco Lib as many call it.. did not house the memorabilia of Sen. Roco only. for it also housed the materials and manuscripts of writer Bienvenido N. Santos.
Bievenido Nuque Santos, known as a prolific writer in english, has contributed a lot in Bicol... in Naga in particular. He taugth and became the Executive Vice President of the University of Nueva CAceres.
Santos married a Bicolana from Daraga and have children, one of which is Lourdes Santos Anonas who worked also in the University of Nueva CAceres as teacher, Dean and later, as Executive Vice President. .
for sometime we also encountered the word " the heart of Bicol".. it is a phrase describe for Naga and originally a poem written by Santos.
4 years ago, to enliven the works of BN Santos, Naga sponsored the Bienvenido N. Santos Short Story Writing Contest for English and Bicol.
villa magdalena, scents of apple etc.. are among his works...... we encountered and read those writings in college.. ..... if you miss the chance of meeting Santos,,, come and visit the Naga Library because in the future we will be organizing more activities for him.
arat!
