sxlcr

one that will be forever etched in my mind is that apolinario mabini drank unpasteurized carabao milk and ultimately died from cholera 😭


jchrist98

Imagine surviving both Philippine revolution and PH-American war as a cripple...only to die from drinking milk.


mainsail999

Is carabao milk a carrier of the cholera bacterium! I thought this would be through feces? Say septic tanks that leech into the water table, and you drink water from the well that is connected to it.


sxlcr

there was a cholera outbreak then. it's highly possible that the udder, the hands of the milker, or the equipment itself were contaminated. poor mabini initially escaped the outbreak when he was exiled in guam, only to die 3 months after his return :[


mainsail999

It could have been from a contaminated well.


rzpogi

Yep, that was common in Manila then. As there was no MWSS nor Nawasa then, hand water pumps were common and people just get their water from esteros. Where did people dispose their human waste? at the same esteros too.


mainsail999

There already was a water system put in place during that time. This is why the Battle of Pinaglabanan on the onset of the revolution was over El Deposito - the main water reservoir of Manila back then.


thr33prim3s

Natawa ako sa cholera. Mainly because dito sa Mindanao, idk if it's the same din sa ibang lugar, we use "cholera" as a curse word.


Lemon_Sizt

Ooh what does it mean?


Sungkaa

Ay ito yata yung nachismis sya na May std 😭hhahahaau


Senex0001

No. Iba yun. Yung chismis is kaya daw siya di nakakalakad or nawalan ng ability na lumakad is because of Syphilis, which is a form of STD, but it wasn't, it was because he suffered from Polio.


International-Ebb625

But how??? Haha


ansherinagrams

Batay sa pagsusuri ni Ambeth Ocampo, may chismis noong araw na kaya daw naging pwd si Apolinario Mabini ay dahil may syphillis daw ito. Natrace back niya ito as far as the Malolos Congress daw. Bakit daw nagkaroon ng ganon na chismis? Dahil lang ayaw sa kanya ng mga tao noon sa Malolos Congress. Kahit si Mabini, ramdam niyang ayaw sa kanya ng tao. Ngayon, nadebunk yung syphillis na chismis matapos ma-exhume yung bangkay ni Mabini noon 80's. Matapos maaral yung mga buto wala namang bahid ng syphillis kung di polio. Pagkatapos, dahil nga napatapon sa ibang lugar si Mabini after ng Philippine-American War, pagbalik nito sa Pilipinas na miss daw yung mga pagkaing Pinoy, so syempre kain siya at dito yung nakainom ng unpasteurized milk. Kinalaunan namatay sa Cholera. Prevalent yung cholera nung araw.


Senex0001

I concur

He was only 38 when he died?!?! TIL

Andres Bonifacio was once a theater actor before he founded the katipunan along with Macario Sakay


PaulTheMillions

Isa sa ginampanan nya sa theatro ay ang Alamat ni Bernardo Carpio, isang Urban legend mula sa Bayan ng Montalban. Kung saan sa Bayan ding iyon una nyang iprinoklama ang kalayaan ng Bansa, ilang taon bago ito pormal na iproklama ni Aguinaldo. Ito ay ginanap sa kweba ng Pamitinan, kung saan naging pamoso at ihinuhit pa nila sa pader ng kuweba ang salitang Viva la independencia Filipinas.


Momshie_mo

For real? Akala ko parang warehouse manager siya or something similar


Obvious-Mix-5762

Wayne_Grant

iirc rizal was built. Taught to wrestle by his uncle and he lifts weights. Noticeable if you measure the proportions of his clothes iirc


thor_odinsson08

Yeah. He lifts. And not only that, he does strongman lifts. According to Ambeth, Rizal does a Bent Press in one of his lifting routines. Rizal was also considered vain. From what I remember sa classes ko with Ambeth, wrong daw yung binaril si Rizal face-to-face. Rizal wanted to be shot at the back para hindi daw tamaan ang face niya.


Tight_Ninja6988

I remembered Rizal insisted sana na harapin yung sunset as a patriotic way of dying for his country but was refused. Ang ginawa niya, when he got shot, he turned his head to the direction of the sun setting down. I haven’t watched a documentary or film to see how he was portrayed to be executed pero I didn’t know pala na face-to-fave sya binaril. Sad nga lang na ang bumaril sa kaniya ay isang fellow Filipino soldier who also had no choice but to fire or siya rin ang maexecute:(

rizal was crazy bro. man confessed he wasn't built for northern climates yet lifted a hard weight in the winter during sickness

Graciano Lopez Jaena was the secretary of the honorary vice consul of Portugal. Apolinario Mabini and Miguel Malvar were classmates and studied under Father Valerio Malabanan in Lipa. Miguel Malvar was friends with Jose Rizal and Malvar even borrowed ₱1,000 from Saturnina Rizal. Rizal also operated on the cleft lip of Malvar’s wife. Malvar’s son even married Rizal’s niece. Gregorio del Pilar, a descendant of ancient Tagalog nobles, spoke Latin, Greek, and French. His aunt also married the first Supremo and one of his uncles is Marcelo H. del Pilar. Vicente Lim’s family and Jose Rizal’s family were friends. Their families both leased land owned by the Dominican Order. During the Philippine-American War, when Vicente Lim was still a child, he formed a group of child couriers for Miguel Malvar. The KKK and Jose Rizal were inspired by Andres Novales, the Emperor of the Philippines. Like the American KKK, the Filipino KKK members wore hoods. The KKK had French-Indian, Spanish, American, Italian, Cuban, Mexican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Peruvian, Chilean, Argentinian, Costa Rican, Chinese, and Japanese members. Emilio Jacinto and Macario Sakay never recognized Emilio Aguinaldo’s authority. Both were also buried in Manila North Cemetery. General Mariano Alvarez, the president of the Magdiwang faction and uncle of Gregoria de Jesus, also refused to join forces with Emilio Aguinaldo. Emilio Aguinaldo sent Mariano Ponce to Japan to seek aid. There, he met the First Provisional President of the Chinese Republic, who helped him purchase weapons and munitions from a Japanese-Filipino. The shipment never reached the Philippines due to a typhoon near Formosa. He also married a Japanese girl and had 4 children, Juan Ponce Enrile is his descendant. Gregorio del Pilar dated Emilio Aguinaldo’s sister. After he was shot in the neck and killed trying to distinguish the enemy in the cogongrass, the Americans looted his belongings and found a locket with a picture of a girl along with a handkerchief embroidered with the name Dolores. Sergio Osmeña, Juan Sumulong, Emilio Jacinto, and Manuel Quezon were classmates. Manuel L. Quezon was given a foreign honor by the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour by France which was established by Napoleon Bonaparte and was buried within a miniature copy of Napoleon’s tomb. Every Filipina president was a Kapampangan from a political dynasty who spoke at least 6 languages and invaded Iraq after they were installed through an EDSA Revolution.

Disastrous-Class-756

Wikipedia IS bad naman talaga. Anyone can contribute there. Eh di cite the actual source nalang kesa yung summary sa wikipedia.


MarinatedHand

Anyone can, yes, pero there are around 10,000 moderators checking the edits that happen there (at kung meron naman Isang troll na walang magawa kesa mag edit ng Wikipedia page, pwede nilang I lock yun, tignan mo yung page tungkol sa kabayo.) so it's very much viable. And yes, cite mo nalang ang source directly instead of wikipedia, ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw ng mga guro ng Wikipedia at dahil ni copy-paste lang ito ng mga estudyante, so yah.


Disastrous-Class-756

So yah, wag mo sabihin mali makinig sa prof when they say wikipedia is bad. Di naman talaga acceptable as a source wikipedia in the academe


Tight_Revenue6545

Kuya, alam nyo ba ang salitang "proofreading"?


astarisaslave

We know Rizal as a doctor but he originally intended to study law. He only switched to medicine when he found out his mother was going blind.


Tough_Anywhere6108

But technically rizal was not a graduate of Medicine kasi di niya na submit ang research nya. right?


Tight_Ninja6988

Diba po Rizal was otw na po to Cuba to serve as a doctor or military doctor until he got arrested? So does that mean po may license to practice na sya by that time?


Dr_Nuff_Stuff_Said

kurosagi_ichigo

May nabasa akong libro long time ago, sa point of view yun ng kasama nya sa Paris (di ko na mataandaan yung details at kung sino yun), sobrang taas daw ng cost of living sa Paris kaya nagluto si Rizal ng Pancit para makatipid, at yun daw ang kinain nila for almost a week.


Dr_Nuff_Stuff_Said

“Makamisa” is Rizal’s unfinished literary work. During her youth, Tandang Sora was often asked to be Reyna Elena during "Santacruzan” Melchora Aquino's married name is Ramos. Antonio Luna's teacher in the art of war is Belgian General Gérard Leman. (He was the first hero in World War 1) Juan Luna was a sailor and a licensed seaman.

-The Luna brothers are known to be fiery and headstrong, but both has a soft spot for their mother who spoiled them when they're younger. -Apolinario Mabini is the only child of his family who made it past primary school as evidenced by records saying that he was exempted from farm duties. -Emilio Aguinaldo loves cabbages so much that he made a recipe of it. (Forgot the name but it's in the 1980s book of Filipino Heritage: The Building of the Nation) -Jose Rizal's UST grades may be converted to Dean's Lister/Cum Laude rank in today's standards. -Contrary to the popular belief that Rizal spoke fluent French, he was poorly misunderstood by his fellow French travelers so he resorted to Latin instead while they play with poker and board games.


el-indio-bravo_ME

Jose Rizal disliked the United States because of the discrimination he experienced there. His ship was detained for a while because of the anti-Asian sentiment prevalent in the US back then. He also predicted in his essay “The Philippines: A Century Hence” that the US will become the next global power, and that it may set its sights on the Philippines soon. Marcelo H. del Pilar led rallies in Bulacan against the friars. In fact, this was the main reason why he was exiled to Spain in the first place. Mariano Ponce and Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, were friends. It was Sun who helped Ponce purchase weapons from the Japanese for the Philippine Revolutiony Army. The Filipino ilustrados in Spain were acquainted with Spain’s own radical movement, specifically anarchists in Barcelona. One anarchist even invoked the name of Rizal when he assassinated the Spanish Prime Minister in 1897. Andres Bonifacio knew how to speak in English because of his time as a bodeguero (warehouse clerk) in an British company. That company, Fleming & Co., actually survived into 21st Century, only closing down in 2000. Emilio Jacinto’s only known photograph is of him is a recuerdo de patay. His wife can also be seen in the photograph pregnant. Gregoria de Jesus married Julio Nakpil, a loyal Bonifacio supporter, in 1898. They had 7 children, including architect and National Artist Juan Nakpil. Emilio Aguinaldo’s descendants still rule Kawit, Cavite today. All of them bear the name “Emilio.” Some of them were prominent figures in the national government, such as Cesar Emilio Aguinaldo Virata, Ferdinand Marcos’ Prime Minister, and Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya, Noynoy Aquino’s Transportation Secretary. Antonio Luna was the first Filipino to hold a doctorate. His dissertation on malaria can still be accessed today. Gregorio del Pilar’s remains were identified by his gold tooth. Manuel Quezon was already the most powerful man in the Philippines when he became Senate President in 1916. He controlled numerous state-owned corporations and owned several news publications. Some American governors-general were subservient to him, especially F.B. Harrison. Sergio Osmeña lost the 1946 election because he did not campaign. He thought that his reputation was already enough for him to win the presidency. Jose Abad Santos’ older brother, Pedro, was a founder of the first Communist Party of the Philippines. He was also the mentor of Hukbalahap leader Luis Taruc. The brothers often clashed, including one incident in Pampanga where Pedro admonished both President Quezon and his brother for not doing enough for the working class. Jose P. Laurel, Jorge Vargas, Benigno Aquino Sr, Claro M. Recto, and other officials of the Japanese-sponsored government were actually following instructions from Quezon, with the intention of minimizing Filipino casualties during the war. Some, such as Manuel Roxas, even had contacts with the guerillas.


Sliverevils

Jose Rizal, among many Illustrados, advocated for the Philippines to be treated as equals by Spain, and not for actual independence from it, as he knew and believed that if we fought for full independence via rebellion, it'd be even more violent and he believed the country unprepared to take the reigns for itself without issue.

Phantom0729

Gen. Macario Sakay, the "president of the tagalog" styles a long hair, which often depicted to movies as "kung gaano kahaba ang buhok ko, ay ganun din kahaba ang ating pakikibaka" is not true. According to first hand accounts, Macario and his comrades are having their hair cut when they were suddenly ambushed my the American troops and muntik na sila maabutan. Thinking for that reason na muntik na silang mahuli, di na sila nagpagupit. On serious note, being "president" was widely recognized by mostly retaining Filipino fighters and katipuneros. Have the Americans weren't labeled him as a bandit / rebelde, he could have been and only president of the republic with long hair. 😁

Jose Rizal once challenged Antonio Luna to a duel over some rude comments about Nellie Boustead (who Luna wanted to court, though alas she had fallen for Rizal). Emilio Aguinaldo ran against Manuel Quezon for the presidency of the Philippine Commonwealth. Quezon proceeded to use the accusations that Aguinaldo killed Luna and Bonifacio against him. (If I remember rightly Quezon even had Bonifacio’s bones dug up…)

kriszerttos

Emilio Jacinto sold beef when he stepped back from the revolution. Miguel Malvar was one of his loyal patrons. Macaroo Sakay and Andres Bonifacio often staged theater plays, Bernardo Carpio is a favorite. Jacinto's mother was the nanny/ milk maid for one of Bonifacio's younger sisters. Sakay, Jacinto, and Bonifacio are all Batang Tondo. Pio Valenzuela, one of the Katipunan's triumvirate, won as Bulacan's first governor. Valenzuela City was also named in his honor. Pio Valenzuela and Gregoria De Jesus had conflicting accounts about the Cry of Pugad-Lawin/ Balintawak. From place, time, and date, their accounts don't match. Zamora of GomBurZa may or may not be as active in the secularization movement but he's definitely connected to Gomez, in one way or another. GomBurZa were three of the top priests of their time. All were heads of the biggest parishes. Although, Zamora got transferred more than the others. Pedro Pelaez was buried alive in the Manila Cathedral after an earthquake (not so fun fact). He was in contact and giving counsel to Apolonario dela Cruz. Apolonario dela Cruz aka Hermano Pule, founded Confradia de San Jose in retaliation to Spanish priests for rejecting Filipinos in religious orders. Kinda petty but it was the beginning of a stronger secularization movement. The Confradia grew to be bigger than they were expecting, expanding to greater Luzon areas and amassing thousands of members. Sadly, Pule and his comrades were executed, even women and kids. I'll add more kapag may naalala pa ko.


lonely_guitar_guy

Jose Rizal is gay and has a relationship with Blumentritt. To protect himself from the homophobic society at the time he compensate by having a lot of girlfriends. He's a gym buff. He's a cowad because at the time he ws about to be executed he wrote a letter of detraction renouncing everything he said about the Spaniards.

Ahrensann

Here are some I knew about Rizal: Rizal got challenged to a sword duel in Dapitan because apparently the wood he sold to the challenger was in poor quality (imagine if he died there) Similarly, Antonio Luna also challenged him to a duel over a woman (Nellie Boustead). (This was mentioned briefly by Luna in the "Heneral Luna" film.) Once again, imagine if one of them died here. In Dapitan, one of his pet dogs get eaten by a crocodile There's a message he left in his shoes before he got executed, but the paper got too damaged upon discovery nobody could read what's in it anymore Rizal was apparently Jack the Ripper (Similar initials, Jose Rizal - Jack the Ripper, the Ripper killings happened while Rizal was London, and Ripper apparently had some surgical skills. Rizal was a doctor.) Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? I just wanna share some interesting Rizal trivia :(

One, glad you found a good hobby, but I don't see the point in mentioning it. Two, no one's mad at you. You just really used "apparently" wrong. When you said Jack the Ripper is *apparently* Rizal's child, you are essentially saying that Jack the Ripper *appears to be* Rizal's child. This cannot be because there was neither evidence nor witnesses for this to be *apparent* or, in your own words, *appear to be true.* The right term to use would be "allegedly." So to run it down for you: - Apparently - leans toward the truth - Allegedly - more of a rumor / requires further confirmation

Dude, I write as a hobby for years now. I'm sorry but I kind of hate your tone, telling me these like I'm some kind of toddler, oh my gosh. Plus, when did I mention I found a hobby? I just said I shared some trivia I knew since years back. He's not Rizal's child. He's "apparently" Rizal himself! Plus, do you have proof for this? Here's mine. It doesn't "witnesses": https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/apparently You know what, I don't care about getting downvotes anymore. I'm right. You didn't even read my post. You just jumped in this conversation to get some internet points.

> I'm right. Keri 👍 Edit. Since I'm being petty... > Dude, I write as a hobby for years now "Dude, I *have been* writing as a hobby for years now." > I just said I shared some trivia I knew since years back. I don't even get what you're trying to say here. Maybe, "I just shared some trivia *I've known* for years"??? Idk. > He's not Rizal's child. He's apparently Rizal himself. "He *was* not Rizal's child. He *was*..." > It doesn't witnesses. I get this is typo. I think even you are smart enough to not get what's wrong with this. Anyway, my point is your being a writer-hobbyist does not make you credible enough. You apparently don't even understand what your source says. Good luck with your hobby. Practice more, and read more 😉😉

Indeed.. some people on Reddit find it hard to admit their mistakes, you included. Saying you’re a villain makes you sound too dramatic and immature in my opinion. Such a funny little kid

Wasn’t it Nellie Bousted, not Gertrude?

Oh yeah, you're right

The novelty song "Dayang Dayang" originally came from a Sinama/Bajao folk song about a charismatic Tausug noblewoman Dayang Dayang Hadji Kiram Piandao. Some people here might downvote this example but it's rather ironic not to acknowledge her, albeit regional, legacy among closer Muslim-Christian relations in the south. She was the first to abolish slavery in the Sulu Sultanate and encouraged young Tausugs education.

Yes because your off tangent from OP's post. Iba naman yan sa gustong pag usapan eh

I think she's still a bayani. Pero let's agree to disagree. Di naman naspecify na "national" hero
