The couple chose the name Blas after Saint Blaise, whose feast day was on the same day.

   The Blas they raised in a tiny house at the village of San Miguel, Hagonoy town, Bulacan province would grow up to become one of the country’s most revered statesmen.

   As a child, Blas was frail and sickly.

That he did not have an easy life became a recurring theme in his writings.
