On February 19, 1888, Dona Aurora Aragon Quezon, wife of Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon, was born in Baler, Tayabas (now Quezon province.)

Dona Aurora stayed in the background during her husband's political life, involving herself with women's organizations such as the National Federation of Women's Clubs, of which she was honorary chairman.

As the first presidential couple to reside in Malacañang, First .... Aurora spent as little time as possible there, preferring to stay in a "nipa house" in Malacañang Park or in her farm, Kaleidan, in Arayat, Pampanga.
