#TDIH: Pocahontas Marries John Rolfe - 5 April 1614

This Day in History:

Pocahontas, daughter of the chief of the Powhatan Indian confederacy, marries English tobacco planter John Rolfe in Jamestown, Virginia. The marriage ensured peace between the Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Indians for several years.

In 1608, Smith became president of the Jamestown colony, but the settlement continued to suffer. An accidental fire destroyed much of the town, and hunger, disease, and Indian attacks continued. During this time, Pocahontas often came to Jamestown as an emissary of her father, sometimes bearing gifts of food to help the hard-pressed settlers. She befriended the settlers and became acquainted with English ways.

In the spring of 1613, English Captain Samuel Argall took Pocahontas hostage, hoping to use her to negotiate a permanent peace with her father. Brought to Jamestown, she was put under the custody of Sir Thomas Gates, the marshal of Virginia. Gates treated her as a guest rather than a prisoner and encouraged her to learn English customs. She converted to Christianity and was baptized Lady Rebecca. Powhatan eventually agreed to the terms for her release, but by then she had fallen in love with John Rolfe, who was about 10 years her senior. On April 5, 1614, Pocahontas and John Rolfe married with the blessing of Chief Powhatan and the governor of Virginia.

Pocahontas was 13 years old during her emissary stint!!!

#TDIPH: Felipe Calderon's Birth Anniversary

This Day in PHL History:

On April 4, 1868, Felipe Calderon, a lawyer, statesman, and known as the "Father of Malolos Constitution", was born in Santa Cruz de Malabon (now Tanza), Cavite to Don Jose Gonzales Calderon and Doña Manuela Roca.

Calderon was the author of the Malolos Constitution, which was enacted on January 20, 1899 by the Malolos Congress that established the First Philippine Republic.

The original was written in Spanish, which became the first official language of the Philippines.

Notably, Calderon established two law universities -- Liceo de Manila, the first law college in the Philippines, and the Escuela de Derecho (School of Duties). He taught in both institutions.

In 1904, he was appointed member of a commission to draft a proposed Penal Code. He also organized the La Proteccion de la Infancia (The Protection of Infants) that established a humanitarian institution to protect and care for disadvantaged children.

His Encyclopedia Filipinas was published in 1908.

He died on July 6, 1908 at the age of 40.

Like Jose Rizal, Calderon loved studying Philippine history. In 1905, he formed Asosacion Historia de Filipinas. In 1904, he established Samahan ng mga Mananagalog (Association of Tagalog Writers) with the help of famous Tagalog writers of his time. Their organizqation aimed to spread the use of the Tagalog language. He strongly believes that Tagalog should be the PHL national language, and not Spanish or English.

Our names are our first and last cage (unless you have it legally changed, of course). Our parents impose a name they think would suit us... at kasama na natin ang pangalang iyon hanggang sa hukay. From womb to tomb, ika nga. Want to see the IDs of Wizard, The Fatima Adolfo Hitler Mike Litoris Lord Vol Demort Chew Kok Long James Bond Email Suarez Vagina, Natalia and Batman Bin Supraman? Click the title. :) Crazy man ang mga pangalan na iyon, nirereflect nila ang popular culture, paboritong artista, o anuman ang pinahahalagahan ng mga magulang. At least in theory... :) May mga magulang lang sigurong sadyang malakas ang trip. Kaya... Wala nalang basagan ng trip!

Amidst the theft in a grocery store (also caught on CCTV), police plainly comments that crimes like these may become more prevalent. Citizens must immediately report crimes they witness. ?...
