BIOGRAPHY

Vicente Rama, known as the “Father of Cebu City,” was born on June 6, 1887 in Cebu City. He studied at the Colegio de San Carlos and Escuela de Derecho. Rama became actively involved in politics and writing after his studies. He was a municipal councilor of Cebu, a three-term representative of the third district, member of the first National Assembly, and mayor of Cebu City. He was a staff member of El Precursor and then an editor of Kauswagan. In 1915-1941, he published and edited Nueva Fuerza which became the major Cebuano periodical Bag-ong Kusog, where he wrote articles expressing his opinions about the services of the government and its agencies, Cebuano language and literature, and several works of fiction. Ateneo de Manila University Press published a Rama Reader, which was translated and edited by Fr. Rudy Villanueva. Nyor Inting died in 1956 at the age of 69.
