On hindsight, the whole controversy stemmed from the self-imposed deadline called for by its architect, Manuel Guanzon, that he would finish this edifice by Nov. 15.

On hindsight, the whole controversy stemmed from the self-imposed deadline called for by its architect, Manuel Guanzon, that he would finish this edifice by Nov. 15.
