    • Carlos Felix Lozada Quirino (January 14, 1910 - May 20, 1999) was
    a Filipino biographer, historian and cultural administrator, has
    the distinction of having written one of the earliest biographies of
    Jose Rizal titled The Great Malayan. Quirino's books and articles
    span the whole gamut of Philippine history and culture--from
    Bonifacio's trial to Aguinaldo's biography, from Philippine
    cartography to culinary arts, from cash crops to tycoons and
    president's lives, among so many subjects. In 1997, President
    Fidel Ramos created historical literature as a new category in the
    National Artist Awards and Quirino was its first recipient. He
    made a record earlier on when he became the very first Filipino
    correspondent for the United Press Institute.
    • Carlos Quirino (1910 – 1999) obtained his journalism degree from the
    University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1931. The first biography he
    wrote was on President Manuel Quezon, titled Man of Destiny (1935). He
    spent some years working as an assistant to his uncle, future Philippine
    president Elpidio Quirino, who also supported his law studies until he
    passed the bar in 1940.

    • Quirino enlisted in the Philippine Army and was a second lieutenant


    before the outbreak of World War II. With the Japanese invasion, he was
    captured and forced to participate in the Bataan Death March, but
    managed to escape and join the underground resistance.

    • In 1961 President Diosdado Macapagal appointed Quirino as director of


    the National Library. His historical expertise led Fernando Zobel to task
    him with overseeing the creation of a diorama exhibit, which would
    eventually form the beginnings of the Ayala Museum. Quirino became
    the museum’s first director in 1970.
