Wealth and memory.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Ramon N. Villegas, Contributor
FINALLY, a fitting and lasting home has been found for the D. M. Guevara Collection, originally housed at the Museo ng Buhay Filipino.
The Guevara Foundation turned over hundreds of religious art objects, furniture and decorative pieces, jewelry and costumes, table and kitchenware, folk devices and implements to the Museo De La Salle in Dasmarinas, Cavite.
The foundation was formed in the 1970s by Domingo M. Guevara. The self-made Bicolano delegate to the 1972 Constitutional Convention founded his fortune on Radiowealth, the first Filipino manufacturer of radios, and, later, television sets.
The Guevent (Guevara Enterprise) Group of Companies also assembled and distributed Volkswagen, Audi, Jeep and Menschel in the Philippines, as well as Sakbayan and Trakbayan. They were also into appliances, computers, Avis rentals, helicopter service, manpower development, handicraft export, aquaculture, consumer financing and other enterprises.
The foundation, composed of board members from the different Guevent companies, was headed by Carmen S. Guevara, the spouse of the tycoon. A teacher by training, she was into ikebana and civic work. She enjoyed cultural activities and avidly collected Asian jars found in the Philippines.
