Apolinario Mabini, Revolutionary, Cesar Adib Majul

he was so fucking funny for this

I had actually spent a long time recreating the interior of his house for that first panel before I remembered he was exiled in guam when this happened lmao. the other guy in this comic is his brother, prudencio, who accompanied him into exile!

speaking of houses, let's talk about his glasses. he had them, and I get emotional whenever I see photos of his personal belongings.....

Kakang Pule, Rody Herrera

The painting depicts a moment on the journey that brought Apolinario Mabini to Emilio Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo had read Mabini's writings and was so impressed by it that he had Mabini (who had suffered from polio which caused paralysis in his legs) brought to him from Batangas to Kawit, carried by hammock through a series of relays.

One of the copies of the scheme which I had drafted reached Mr Aguinaldo’s hands by chance, and he thereupon wrote, although he did not know me, asking me to help him. Although I was just as unacquainted with him, I wanted to help in the common endeavour as far as I was able, and I called on him at Cavite port on the 12th June 1898, the very day on which the independence of the Philippines was being proclaimed in the town of Kawit. I immediately asked him about the agreement he had concluded with the United States Government, and to my great surprise learned that there was none, and that the (American) consul in Singapore, Pratt, and Admiral Dewey had only given him verbal assurances that the United Sates Government did not want any part of the islands and that it designed only to help the natives destroy the Spanish tyranny so that all the Filipinos could enjoy the blessings of an independent government. I realized then that the American representatives had limited themselves to ambiguous verbal promises, which Mr Aguinaldo had accepted because he ardently desired to return to the islands, fearful that other influential Filipinos should (rob him of glory and) reach an understanding with the Americans in the name of the people.

-The Philippine Revolution, Apolinario Mabini (trans. Leon Ma. Guerrero)

When Emilio Aguinaldo returned to the Philippines on board a US ship and announced the continuation of the Philippine revolution against Spain, he sent for a Batangas lawyer famous for an “ulong ginto” (head of gold). Carried from Batangas to Laguna in a hammock, Mabini endured all discomforts patiently, even when he was abruptly dropped on the ground to be picked up by the next relay. He arrived in Kawit in time for the declaration of Philippine independence, the waving of the Philippine flag, and the premiere of the Magdalo March that became our national anthem.

-Mabini: Conscience of the Nation, Ambeth R. Ocampo

[appleflavoredkitkats]

hi ame!! just remembered you planned on being a historian and was curious if you had a top five Philippine history books you recommend people to read. i really need to brush up on my fil lit, and i thought this was the best place to ask haha

omg ok so. i have many history books BUT i have not read any of them yet bc of time constraints, BUT i will try my best to recommend some based on what i've heard/what i've skimmed. also sorry this exceeded 5 HAHAHAHA

rizal without the overcoat by ambeth ocampo - a comprehensive analysis of rizal. not to out myself but i gained the privilege to have ambeth ocampo as my history prof last schoolyear, and his explanation for the title is very intriguing? because overcoats aren't generally worn in the philippines, they're worn in european places that are cold. so removing the overcoat from rizal attempts to view him deeper within philippine contexts.

and on that note, ANYTHING by ambeth ocampo! he has a cheap book series about ph history called "looking back" that have many topics and variations. each book is just 150 pesos and i hoarded all of them when i saw it sa nbs HAHA

some are smarter than others by ricardo manapat - a book about the marcos' "crony capitalism". if you check the cover, it looks like a xeroxed document, and it's because it is! the book itself began during martial law and it recounts all of marcos' expenses and capitalistic faults. this means you're reading directly from people who were experiencing martial law in real time. i skimmed through the pages of it and there are actual like. lists of all of the shit the marcoses bought + its prices alongside comprehensive information about it.

a question of heroes by nick joaquin - this is like the history bible for your luzon-based national heroes. i have not read it but it's supposed to critique how contemporary filipinos view heroes, so go give it a read!

barangay by william henry scott - it's a big bummer that a lot of records on indigenous filipino culture were written by our colonizers, but still, give this a read if you want comprehensive descriptions on the indigenous period!

^ and on that note, go read the journal of magellan's voyage by antonio pigafetta. you don't need to read all of it, but read the portions about their experiences with filipinos (march 16 1521 onwards)

the philippine revolution by apolinario mabini - THE WEBSITE OF THIS GOT DELETED UGH but if you manage to find a copy, it covers his exile by the americans onwards, and it was a pretty interesting read!

^ and on the topic of books written by filipino historical figures, READ ALL OF THEM! LIKE, ALL OF THEM! DIRECT SOURCES! aguinaldo has a book, gregoria de jesus had letters, rizal had letters- all that! good shit!

and i mean. read your noli and fili that one's self-explanatory KJGLGKJ. dekada '70 too! my brother read it and he enjoyed it so i trust him

and i'm gonna end on a special gold mine. the philippine islands by blair & robertson is an interesting index filled with western research/records of idigenous filipino culture. disclaimer, a LOT of it is biased, but my god there is a lot of resources to look up on. check volume 54-55 for a table of contents, then work your way from there!

big tip for searching on your own- you won't get far googling stuff because a lot of these aren't easily searchable. the most it can give you, which is helpful, are comprehensive lists of history books written by filipino historical figures. but, if you want good shit, PLEASE GO TO NBS/FULLY BOOKED!! GO TO THE HISTORY SECTION!! even if you can't buy them, you can google pdf's of the title (hopefully) or you can go to any nearby library if you have one!!

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

“When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile”.

Oh hi, I'm Jerbie Angelle S. Galope. My name "Jerbie" comes from a film that's titled "Herbie", but my mother changed the "H" to "J", because it's the first letter of Jesus and the "Angelle" is an angel from the above with God. I don't have a father because my father left my mother, and yeah, I'm one of the broken families. I never dreamed of having a father on my side.

My grandmother and grandfather were always there for me and never got tired of my behavior and attitude. They were the ones who took care of me. My grandmother is like a candle that will light my way until her light is gone. My grandfather is like a shield that always protects me.

I live in Cuyapo, the site of the arrest of Philippine hero Apolinario Mabini in the province of Nueva Ecija, known as the "Rice Bowl of the Philippines." I was born on November 18, 2005, and I'm 17 years old. At this age, I have so many realizations in life. Life is like a book; it has many pages and different chapters. Let's start with the first chapter of my book. When I was a child, my parents always hid me from the world. they always made me stay at home, and told me not to go out, I could see from our window the children playing and they were having fun, I wanted to join so I asked my parents for permission if I could go out, and they agreed that day I saw how beautiful the world is. They always made me stay at home and told me not to go out. I could see from our window the children playing, and they were having fun. I wanted to join in, so I asked my parents for permission if I could go out, and they agreed. That day I saw how beautiful the world was, and that was also the day I felt happy because I was a child without emotions.

I graduated from elementary school and enrolled in Saint Pius X Institute. As I embark on another academic journey, I remember when my adviser chose me to participate in an event at school called "Agham." I agree, even though I have stage fright. I realize that participating in this kind of activity will build my confidence. Years later, there was a virus (COVID) that spread so fast that many people died. The pandemic is affecting our education and our mental health. I remember when the quarantine started. I felt the depression. It is hard for me. I lose my interest in doing the things that I want to. Even though there is someone you can lean on, it feels like it is not enough to remove this feeling. My social anxiety increased because of the pandemic I'm afraid to socialize. This year, we are back to the new normal where the number of people affected by COVID is now decreasing, and schools will reopen and begin face-to-face classes. I'm a senior high school student now. I expanded my circle of friends, and we talked about personal life. Day by day, I'm working for myself to build up my confidence and fight my social anxiety. My life is still continuing. I'm nothing but an individual searching for myself, looking to fit in, wanting to achieve something.

Everything That Could Go Wrong Did Go Wrong But We Are Trying Our Best

In traditional Pilipino oral folklore it's said; on earth there exists outside reality; a hidden ethereal realm of divine magical sanctuary... Some natives like revolutionary hero Apolinario Mabini were known to frequent this place through visions and other mystical experiences. It's called the "Diwata". This spiritbound location lead to gateways open to higher celestial planes "Greater Than", "Beyond" or "Above" the Heavens in the sky & galactic universe... 🪔🏮🎋

APOLINARIO MABINI July 23, 1864- May 13, 1903

VIII Strive that your country be constituted as a republic, and never as a monarchy:  a monarchy empowers one or several families and lays the foundation for a dynasty.

-Mabini’s Decalogue for Filipinos

Skipping pleasantries when introduced to Aguinaldo, [Mabini] asked if the Americans had committed to help Filipinos gain independence from Spain in writing. Aguinaldo had no such commitment. Mabini then ruined the festive mood by saying that the declaration of independence was premature. He criticized the wordy document and its statement that the colors of our flag mirrored those of the US. Worse, the document stated that we owed Philippine independence to the grace of “The Great North American Nation.” That afternoon, Mabini made his first political enemy by replacing Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, author of the declaration of independence, as Aguinaldo’s principal adviser.

Months later, when Aguinaldo submitted Mabini’s appointment as [President] Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to the Malolos Congress for confirmation, Rianzares Bautista seized the chance for revenge by exposing Mabini’s physical disability in a newspaper article. Writing under the thinly disguised pseudonym “Zerzarian,“ he asked: “How can a man without feet be appointed or elected to such high office?”

To which Mabini replied: “Does the job of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court require constant walking? No? Therefore, he can be a man without feet, as long as he possesses the brains and able hands for the office.” Not content with that, Mabini gave the dagger a few twists before pulling it out. In an open letter to “Zerzarian,” Mabini, writing under the pseudonym “Paralitico,” said: “Being assured that old age produces in definite persons a sickness at least as inconvenient as paralysis, I shall not bear you any grudges.”

-Mabini: Conscience of the nation, Ambeth Ocampo [the open letter being referenced here is Mabini’s October 5, 1899 letter to Zersarian]
