Itong sampaksaan ukol sa kaibahan nila Gat Andres Bonifacio at Gat Jose Rizal, kung sino sa kanila ang dapat tanghaling Pambansang Bayani/National Hero, ay nakapaikot sa kaibhan ng mga konseptong HEROE (Spanish for "hero"/hero ay isang Kanluraning konsepto ng martir) at BAYANI mula sa dalawa sa pinakamagaling na

The Amazing NATO Terrorism in Libya

2011-08-28T00:05:00.002+08:00

WHERE in the world have you heard of a rebel group putting forth a whooping $1.7 million bounty reward on the head of their nation they are trying to oust? Where did these "rebels" get such a huge amount of assassination reward money? Only in Libya, circa 2011. How amazingly rich these rebels are! Are they funding themselves? So rich rebels. Why would these rich "rebels" want to topple

(Reprinted from Jesusa Bernardo, less impersonal) MAYROONG isang artikulo sa isang dilaw na pahayagan na nagsasabing si Gat Jose Mercado Rizal daw ay isang "serial suitor of women around the world." Ewan kung totoo talaga iyon pero nakapagdulot iyon ng mga reaksyong ang dating sa akin ay parang hagikgik na para bang nakakatawang mainam na bagay ang sinasabing yaon. Nakita ko ang

Debunking the Outrageous Glenn May Thesis on Supremo Andres Bonifacio

2011-03-30T00:51:00.011+08:00

by Jesusa Bernardo (Reprinted from Blog by Taga-Ilog News) PART of the outrageously mythical thesis of the dubitable historian character, Glenn Anthony May, is that the letters in the possession of scholar and prewar Philippine Library and Museum director Epifanio de los Santos were forgeries made in collusion with the latter. May based this on the supposedly wrong Tagalog language "focus"

International Women's Day: 'Humankind,' not the patriarchal term, please

2011-03-08T23:32:00.006+08:00

IT is most unfortunate that the language most commonly used (next to Chinese Mandarin) internationally and virtually, English, is a patriarchal language. May iba't ibang diskurso kung bakit pabor sa pangingibabaw ng kalalakihan ang Ingles. Perhaps, however, the single most convincing proof is the word "MANKIND." The etymology of the the first root word, "man," is arguably traceable to the

25 Years of EDSA: A Legacy of Disempowerment, Amorality, & Greater Poverty

2011-02-24T22:57:00.018+08:00

NO Thanks to 25 Years of EDSA TWENTY-FIVE years after EDSA 1, a quarter of a century after the "fascist" Ferdinand E. Marcos dictatorship was dismantled, the Philippines is in WORSE straits. We should repudiate, NOT celebrate, the "People Power" of 1986, as well as the 2001 EDSA II, for its end results. Instead of uplifting the condition and morality of the Filipinos, it led us deep into

The Katipunan Founding Speech of Andres Bonifacio

2011-01-18T09:31:00.002+08:00

by Jesusa Bernardo The Katipunan was founded following the arrest of patriot and polymath Jose P. Rizal on July 6, 1892. The development made clear to members of the illustrado-initiated, civic society La Liga Filipina, which Rizal established three days earlier, that the colonial Spanish authorities are out to suppress any organization that is openly pro-Filipino.

2010-12-30T11:07:00.007+08:00

by Jesusa Bernardo PATRIOT Jose P. Rizal inspired nationalist Gat Andres Bonifacio y de Castro and the rest of the Filipino/Taga-ilog revolutionaries. Despite the fact that Rizal in the end disowned the revolution, his writings, particularly El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere, formed an invaluable inspiration that helped allow or allowed the Supremo to push for the Philippine

Gen. Macario Sakay's Vilification: Anatomy of the nefariousness of American Imperialism

2010-09-13T23:59:00.310+08:00

IN the morning of September 13, 1907 at around 8:30 am, two Malay-skinned men sporting long, uncut but luxuriant hair were led out of the bartolina in Manila in the Southeast Asian archipelago now called the Republic of the Philippines. The two protagonists were escorted by pale-skinned soldiers of the Bald Eagle nation from the North American continent towards the gallows to be executed by

TODAY is the 103rd Anniversary of the Death of Gen. Macario Sakay, President of the Republic of Katagalugan (Philippines), the revived Katipunan during the Philippine-American War (1899-1914). Gen.

iThe month of August has been a most challenging month to the Filipino nation through the decades, centuries even. We can remember quite a number of tough and pivotal historic events having taken place in the not-so-august eight month of the Gregorian calendar. Apart from very recent and supposedly "major, major" Hong Kong tourist hostage crisis, this month has counted a number of most crucial

The "Pagpag" Legacy of the Yellow Administrations of the Philippines

2010-08-12T19:28:00.001+08:00

AFTER Ferdinand E. Marcos was deposed, democracy was supposedly restored and the lot of the Filipinos improved. Or is it? Beyond what have now been called the "yellow surveys" and official government pronouncements of economic growth, the better gauge of what our people has become is what they EAT, or what the poor people stuff their stomachs with. The (forced by poverty) eating habit of the
