| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Though he never finished college, he built the San Juanico Bridge and the North and South Expressways, undertook the massive Manila Bay reclamation project, initiated the export of Filipino labor to the Middle East, and ran the Sheraton, the Pines Hotel, and the Taal Vista Lodge, among many other enterprises. He built the Construction Development Corporation of the Philippines (CDCP) into the country's largest construction conglomerate of its time. And yet many Filipinos remember him only today as a "Marcos crony," a tag he will not deny.
At his heart, however, Rodolfo "Rudy" Cuenca was a builder of bridges--and a witness to some of the most interesting and significant events of 20th-century Philippines.
This book was conceived, he says, "in the hope that a new generation of Filipinos would look back to my life and times and realize--without condoning whatever wrongs and evils may have happened then--that some lasting good emerged out of that period that we can still enjoy and be proud of."
This is his story"
