Rosario
jamesjimenez: At the end of the movie, stick around as the credits start to roll and you’ll see a picture of the real Rosario. Jennylyn Mercado’s pretty enough to do her justice, but the real Rosario’s eyes have an ineffable sadness about them that you just can’t see in the eyes of the actress. I can imagine. Rosario’s story is a bummer, which makes it almost an original in a movie landscape...

On Rizal and revolutions...and a new year
iwriteasiwrite: ellobofilipino: I think what Rizal would have wanted to happen in the Philippines was what Gandhi later did in India through active non-violence, and what Martin Luther King did for Civil Rights. These two struggles as well as the ideas espoused by Rizal would also eventually be adopted and illustrated by Mandela, Walesa, Havel, Ninoy Aquino and several other leaders who choose...

2011 in a few hours
kalinangan-atbp: I just would like to say to my followers, especially to my tumblarkada (Nik, Kim, Marj, Arsenio — can I just call you RC? — Kelvene, and Joseph — even though he doesn’t follow me but we follow each other on twitter), I’m so happy I met you late this year. My senior year would be crap without your awesomeness. I shall drink a whole bottle of some alcoholic drink (whatever’s...

The First Celebration (Part 1)
iwriteasiwrite: The celebration of Rizal Day was our first ‘national’ patriotic holiday. It antedates by decades other remembrances for heroes (and our nation) past. The men who knew him, who fought with him for a rising Filipino nationalism, believed more strongly in what he stood for then, than we do today. If anything, time has not embedded Rizal, his beliefs and values, in our collective...

The Subversion of Rizal (Part II)
iwriteasiwrite: One thing I have always heard about Rizal is that he is the thinking man’s hero. Because he is our national hero, it demonstrates without doubt that we value the pen before the sword. We don’t. We don’t know Rizal. And in truth, we don’t honor the depth of his contributions or the quality of his philosophy. Instead we lift snippets of his writings, in the process twisting them to...

Rizal's death was no trigger →
margoism: (link to my post. title will route you to the source/original text) thanks for the insight~* iwriteasiwrite: I cry BS on the Rizal reformist trope. Rizal was not a reformist at that point in his life. That was put to bed quite expertly by Schumacher: If so, by the time he brought the novel into its final form, he had already opted for ultimate separation from Spain. Since Spain...

Why Ambeth? Why?
iwriteasiwrite: ellobofilipino: Ironically though, I saw some post floating around Tumblr about Ambeth Ocampo objecting to Rizal Day being celebrated on another day. Weird that  that someone who objects to changing the date of the holiday is allegedly responsible for painting the hero’s home green. It’s an oddity, I agree. I remember his defense behind his decision was basically that he...

Rizal's death was no trigger →
i don’t really agree with everything - actually, i don’t agree with armed struggle. maybe i’m just sleepy and feel uncomfortable with the repetition of the word “arms” towards the last few paragraphs…just sharing other people’s point of view on the significance of jose rizal in the present. As an historiographer, let me correct the popular perception...
