Liham sa mga Kababaihang Taga-Malolos (3/7) Dr. Jose Rizal, ika-12 ng Disyembre, 1888

“Ang kamangmangan ay pagkaalipin; sapagkat kung ano ang isip ay ganoon ang tao: ang taong walang sariling isip ay taong walang pagkatao; ang bulag na tagasunod sa isip ng iba ay parang hayop na susunod-sunod sa tali.”

According to Blumentritt, a revolution has a probability of success, if:

A part of the army and navy should rebel

The metropolis should be at war with another country

There were money and munitions at hand, and

Some foreign country were to lend its official or secret support to the insurrection.

It can be noted that all this condition would be met in 1989 Revolution. [Except, it can ultimately founder because of a fifth unforeseen factor: colonial ambitions of the foreign country.] (Source: Leon Ma. Guererro’s The First Filipino)

Can someone publish a book compilation of love letters ng mga tao nung panahon pa nina Rizal?

Anything, from panliligaw to pambabasted hanggang pagiging brokenhearted.

Just curious on how they've done it.

Siguro nakatulong sa akin 'yung ang dami ko nang nagawa na roles na hero from Rizal to Bonifacio to Emilio Aguinaldo to Mabini and Del Pilar. Nakatulong sa akin 'yung familiarity sa era.

Sinasabi na talaga eh. May sariling version ng Game of Thrones ang Pilipinas. Featuring the Presidential candidates. Mala-War of 5 Kings lang. Except hindi lang sila 5.

Nauna nang na-out si Poe.

Sinong susunod?

Mabuhay, Mabuhay yaong Kalayaan, Kalayaan At pasulungin ang puri't kabanalan Kastila'y mailing ng Katagalugan At ngayo'y ipagwagi ang kahusayan

Mabuhay, Mabuhay yaong Kalayaan, Kalayaan At pasulungin ang puri't kabanalan Kastila'y mailing ng Katagalugan At ngayo'y ipagwagi ang kahusayan

Composed by Julio Nakpil upon the request of Andres Bonifacio, Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan is considered as the first national anthem of the Philippines. It was first played in the vicinity of Balara in November 1896 for the celebration of the founding of Katipunan.

The hymm was later abandoned when Emilio Aguinaldo became President and decided to replaced it by Julian Felipe’s Lupang Hinirang.

Apolinario Mabini died of cholera, from infected carabao milk, on May 13, 1903, shortly after his return from exile in Guam. A newspaper report on his funeral on May 17, 1903, reads:

“In spite of the fact that he died of cholera, the authorities permitted a public funeral for Mabini, the Filipino politician and leader. The funeral took place today. Eight thousand natives marched from Mabini’s house to the church and thence to the grave in La Loma cemetery. Hundreds of former insurgents, headed by [Emilio] Aguinaldo, were in the procession. There were no anti-American demonstrations.”
