The Half Man Alive

At the midst of great need for help came a man to save his dying country. Indeed, he was a brave man, willing to risk his own life just to fight the controlling authority ruling his beloved nation. That great man was none other than Gat Villaruel, the Superman of Islas Filipinas. For having great power, comes great responsibility, not literally power as of magic but power of intelligence and courage. And because Villaruel carried that 'Will of Fire' within him, he believed it was his duty to protect his motherland and its people. It's even quite funny to think that Villaruel was not the typical savior who had a big body figure. Because the truth was, it's the other way around, not even reaching five foot. But despite that, he was like a giant hidden in a small body. Like a giant who has a big appetite for learnings, knowledge and discoveries, also for such respect and freedom, if that really existed.

However, things ain't easy for a single person versus thousand of foes. Because of that, Villaruel was later captured and exiled due to his writings against bad higher authorities. It was a very secluded place and was known for its horrible history. Moreover, there are speculations about it saying it to be the graveyard of dead soldiers hundred years ago. But that was just a hearsay and never written on any book. July 17, 1892, that was the day Villaruel arrived at his final destination, the not very well known Bangalore. He stayed at the house of Chen So, who was told to oversee his daily activities. Days and weeks passed, Villaruel was getting used to his situation, and he even befriended Chen because of his friendly nature. But what are bothering him were the people living in that small remote area. Every time he went out, same faces with blank cold stare gave him goose bumps. Once, he tried talking to someone yet he got no response, not a single word at all. From that day onward, he promised to himself to do whatever it takes to be able to

    Editor’s note: The following is the article written by today’s most famous Filipino historian Ambeth R. Ocampo on Jose Rizal’s death. Simply entitled, “The Death of Jose Rizal,” this historical piece by the current head of the National Historical Institute (of the Philippines) could be deemed refreshing and controversial, as it offers several unpopular and unorthodox accounts of what (presumably) transpired on the day of Rizal’s execution. For one thing, it virtually proclaims that Rizal refused to kiss the crucifix before he was executed, thereby negating the claim of other historians (like Zaide) that the national hero even asked for this Catholic sacramental. Happy reading!…

    The Novels of Jose Rizal

    Rizal, for all the agitation his writings produced, never called for outright revolt against the Spanish colonizers. On the contrary, his explicit statements never ceased to sustain the hope that Spain would allow the Philippines the freedom and means to develop its intellectual and material resources within a colonial partnership. A Philippine revolution, in Rizal's view, would be unsuccessful and yet inevitable, should Spain continue to delay in granting the kind of reform that would ensure security, freedom, dignity and education for the Filipinos. If a revolutionary, then, Rizal remained a cautious one to the end of his brief life. Regardless of these reservations on Rizal's part, the Judge Advocate General Pe=F1a, charged with passing the death sentence on Rizal, called him el Verbo del Filibusterismo, meaning, according to the Philippine usage of the time, the "word of insurrectionism" or revolutionary separatism. That Pe=F1a thus identified Rizal as an exponent and leader of the separatists. And although Rizal had discouraged insurrection, his words would later arouse the militant Katipunan ("patriots' league," literally "confederation"), led by Andr=E9s Bonifacio, to take up arms in a violent confrontation that might have forced the departure of the Spanish from the Philippines.…

    It amazes me how a lot of people can put their own religion and beliefs into something, such as stories, that can only be seen as mere myths and just imaginations nowadays. One good example of this is the Rizalistas. The Rizalistas is a group of people that deeply believes and has a strong adoration for Jose Rizal. As discussed by Dennis Villegas, the writer of “The Second Coming of Jose Rizal,” “Originally, there was only one Rizalista group in Lecheria: the Iglesia Watawat ng Lahi that was founded in 1936.” Since battles occurred between members, the group was divided into four. Thus, making each group (even members) come up with their own versions of how Rizal was born.…
