Original Baller by Joseph Agharanya, Courier Comic Artist
From wikipedia:
Lope K. Santos (September 25, 1879 – May 1, 1963) was a Tagalog language writer from the Philippines.[1] Aside from being a writer, he was also a lawyer, politician, critic, labor leader and considered as "Father of the Filipino Grammar".
In the field of literature
Santos was born in Pasig, Rizal, Philippines (now a part of Metro Manila) - as Lope C. Santos - to Ladislao Santos and Victoria Canseco, both natives of Rizal province. He used Kanseko instead of Canseco for his middle name to show his nationalism. During his time, the letter C had begun falling out of use in favor of the letter K in the Tagalog alphabet.
