ON MAGDALENA Street in Binondo, Manila, stood the house of Higino Francisco, a friend of Jose Rizal, where the original manuscript of the Noli Me Tangere was hidden. It was also where Rizal’s remains were kept for a few days after these were exhumed from the Paco Cemetery in 1898. Cyril L. Bonabente, Inquirer Research
