Today in Ecuador we remember the birth of Juan Montalvo, one of our most famous writers. He was born in Ambato, place of birth of Juan León Mera, author of our anthem's lyrics, and also Juan Benigno Vela. All of them well known writers, reason for which Ambato is also known as "The cradle of the three Johns".
In 1920, President Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno decreed this day as the day of the Ecuadorian Teacher.
So, a happy teacher's day to my fellow colleagues. :)
God bless us all.
