		Aurora is named for Aurora Quezon, the wife of President Manuel Quezon of the Commonwealth of the Philippines; both were born in the capital town of Baler, now apparently renamed Naval.
		The Philippine Republic's Province of Aurora is as small and thinly populated as Quezon is large and populous.
		Aurora became a sub-province of Quezon in 1951, and a full province in 1979, so the image above is very likely obsolete.

		This act was the fulfillment of the prayers of the people of the the former Municipalities of Baler and Casiguran to be truly independent from the Province of Quezon for the first time since the Spanish occupation.
