TRUE NATIONALIST

Jose Panganiban lived a short life. He was a victim of tuberculosis and died on August 19, 1890. However, Panganiban proved his immense love for his country albeit his short life on earth. Patriotism, after all, is not measured in the length of service alone.
Panganiban used his pen to fight for the rights of our people. He wrote well and bravely, too. When he was in Spain, he wrote against spaniards who talked ill of Filipinos.
Panganiban was a very bright student. He studied first in a seminary in Naga. Then he went to manila and studied at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran. Later, he went to the University of Sto. Tomas to become a doctor. During his studies, he had very high grades. He also won prizes in writing and science contests.
Panganiban went to spain to continue his studies in Medicine. There he met Rizal,Marcelo H. del Pilar. and Lopez-Jaena. Like them. he wrote about the injustices committed by the Spanish rulers in our country. He became a contributor to the La Solidaridad.
He read and wrote without much rest. He studies till very late at night. He studied other languages too. So he was able to speak Chinese, English, German and Latin. Soon he fell very ill.
''You should rest, Jose", his Filipino friends advised him. "I cannot rest until I have written down my thoughts. I want to tell the whole world about our country, I want everyone to know how our people are suffering", he answered.
And so, he went on writing till he died in Madrid at the young age 25 on August 19 1890, far from the country he loved.
He was a dedicated writer. He wrote EL Gobierno entre Dos Tendencias, Anatomia de Regimen, EL Pensamiento and La Universidad de Manila y su Plan de Estudio. He also contibuted some poems, among which were Noche de Mambulao, Bahia de Mambulao, A Nuestra Obrero, Ang Tinubuan , and Sa Aking Buhay! His stories were Clarita Perez and Kading.
As a writer,Panganiban believed in the necessity of reform for the Philippines, including academic freedom, freedom of the press and humane treatment of the Filipinos. Although not trained as an educator, he toyed with the ideas of founding an ideal university in Manila.
Jose P. Rizal paid Jose Panganiban the highest tribute when the former said, that what Panganiban grieved most was he died without accomplishing the highest mission he had hoped for and was able to dedicate his energies and interest to the noble cause of fighting for freedom for the Filipino people.

TONDO'S PRIZED SON

Tondo has been the cradle of heroes from the early days of Philippine history. It has produced the likes of Lakan Dula, Rajah Soliman, Emilio Jacinto, and Andres Bonifacio. It was also where Dr. Rafael Palma, a very good writer in Spanish, lawyer, high public official and one-time president of the University of th Philippines, first saw the light of day.

Palma who was born in 1874, started literary writing early. He worked for La Indepencia, the Propaganda newspaper of General Antonio Luna. Later on, he joined other Filipino nationalist, notably Sergio Osmeña, Sr. and Jaime C. de Veyra, in Publishing and editing El Nuevo Dia in Cebu. He used the pen names, "Hapon", Dapit Hapon", and "Robert Paul".

Palma, as a literary man, was one of the editors of La Indepencia, El Nuevo Dia and El Renaciemiento. He was author of Voces de Aliento, Nuestra Campaña por Indepencia Desde Taft Hasta Harrison, Alma mater and Apolinario Mabini (Estudio Biografico). He was wrote also several biographies of contemporary men.

His Biografia de Rizal, the best work yet written on the subject, earned for him a Commonwealth Literary Awards a few years before his death 1939. Because of its literary and factual merits, this biography was translated ito English by former Justice Roman Ozaeta under the title, Pride of the Malay Race, and published by Prentice Hall, Inc. in the United States in 1949. Palma's biography of Apolinario Mabini, likewise, is the most complete andauthoritative life story to date of the "Sublime Paralytic".

Among Palmaa's separately published works are "New Mentality", "Our Age", "Our Country", "Our History", "The Revolt of Youth", "Tghe University and the People", "Hero-Hero Workship", "Rizal: The Man", and "The Woman and the Right to Vote".

Credits should also be given to Palma for having upgraded instruction in the University of the Philippines. It was during his tenure that he prestige of the institution began to flourish.

LYRICIST'S OFFERING

Love for nature and country inspired Jose Palma y Velasquez to write the famous lyrics for the Philippine national anthem. The lyrics were originally written in Spanish and sung during the proclamation of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898. It brought out the intense longing of the people to defend the country against oppresors. It was a son's noble offering to his Motherland.

Jose, the lyricist, was the younger brother of Rafael Palma, another great man. Jose was born in 1876. He was educated at the Ateneo de Manila where he showed early his love for Spanish poetry. Many times on his way home from school, he would stop and admire the beauty of the sunset. He never ceased to be awed by the loveliness of his country and nature's bounty.

Palma worked during the Philippine-American War for Antonio Luna's newspaper, La Independencia, and wrote poetry on varying subjects. He also saw military action in Central Luzon. The hardships of war weakened Palma's health. He died in 1903 at the age of 27.

Palma's poems, scattered in may publications, were collected by his older brother, Rafael, into Melancolicas in 1912. Although the collection contained very beautiful poems, none can compare to the depth of emotion expressed in the poet's masterpiece, the lyrics of the Philippine National Anthem.

The Heart of an Artist

Cecilio Apostol has the heart of an artist. He carves, writes, and sings. Unlike most artist though,, and died in Caloocan in 1938. he does so with a noble purpose. He intended to use his art to obtain reform for his people.

Apostol was born in 1877. He got his formal education at the Ateneo de Manila and at the University of Sto. Tomas. He finally qualified himself as a lawyer but hardly practised his law profession. Instead, he worked for the government. He became a member of the Academia Filipina in 1924,and died in Caloocan in 1938.

Apostol's love for poetry was shown as early as 1895 when ''El Terror de los Mares IOndices'', appeared in El Comercio. Later, wrote for La Independencia, General Antonio Luna's revolutionary newspaper. For about twenty years, he wrote poetry, principally addressed to Filipino heroes and international celebrities, to celebrate important events.In some instances, Apostol would burst into song to celebrate Philippine scenes complied in 1950 contains some thirty-nine nationalistic poems.

Apostol likes to be alone most of the time. In a quite corner, he would carve out statues of heroes and reliefs of historic scenes. As an artist, Apostol favored the classics. In his poem in honor of Rizal, entitle, Al Heroe Nacional,Ap[ostol poured out his heart strongly. This poem is recognized today as the finest ever written in honor of the national hero.

A Man Of Many Talents

Because of conditions obtaining at that time, the Spanish regime saw the Filipino flourished writing in Spanish. The talented Dr. Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera was one of the important prose writes of this period.

Dr. Pardo de Tavera was born in 1857. He took his degree in medicine from the Sorbonne in Parish, and later, undertook serious research work in medicine and in linguistics in Europe.

Being a well-travelled man, he was assigned by General Emilio Aguinaldo as the secretary of diplomacy of the First Philippine Republic. Later on, he drifted into the world of journalism and politics and, finally, into public service and letters.

The works of Paro de Tavera were quite plenty. As historian, he had to his credit the following: Reseña Historica de Filipinas Desdu Su Descubrimiento Hasta 1903,. Las Costumbres de los Tagalos de Filipinas, El Sanscrito en la Lengua Tagalog, El Mapa de Filipinas del P. Murillo Velarde aand Consideraciones Sobre el Origen del Nombre de Los Numeros en Tagalog. He also edited published Una Memoria de Anda y Salazar.

Among Padro de Tavera's distinguished essays were: "The Heritage of Ignorance", "The Filipino Soul", "The Character of Rizal", and "The Conversation of the National Type". These serious essays, originally written in Spanish, gained for him wide acclaim and respect throughout the country.

Tireless Biographer

Unlike most of his friends in the Reform Movement in Madrid, Mariano Ponce chose to indulge in literary writing rather than in direct propaganda. Shy and retiring by nature he stayed in the background and let the others take the limelight. In fact he even wrote about them. He believed that he could serve the country by using his pen to inspire his fellow Filipinos to carry on the fight for freedom.

He came out with the biographies of Marcelo H. Del Pilar and Graciano Lopez-Jaena. In his Filipinos Celebres, he gave separate biographical accounts of Jose Panganiban, Juan Luna, and Antonio Luna. He likewise, wrote separate biographies of Panday Pira and Sun Yat Sen.

His works published in La Solidaridad and La Oceaña Española. He wrote under the names of "Narning" Tikbalng" and "Kalipulako". He also served as an efficient literary editor of La Solidaridad.

Ponce was also the author of Una Excursion, a travelogue on Spain; El Folklore Bulakeño (Folklore Bulacan); and Ang Pagpugot kay Longhino (The Beheading of Longiness). With the help of Jaime C. de Veyre, he wrote a series of articles dealing with the importants event in the Philippines under the title of Efemerides Filipinas. Finally, he came up with Cartas Sobre la Revolucion. These works form the greater part of the writings of Mariano Ponce. His works are very important as historical and biographical accounts of our heroes. His folklore and legends are the best written on the subject to this day.

The Hard-Hitting Journalist

Marcelo H. del Pilar could have made a name for himself as a lawyer had he stuck to is law career. Instead, he abandoned it for something he loved more- writing. He didn't had any cause for regret despite the many sacrifices he has to undergo. It has its rewards after all. He rose to become a greatest propaganda writer of his time.


Del Pilar was born on August 30, 1850 in Kupang, Bulacan, Bulacan, to a middle class family. He studied first in his hometown and later at the Collegio de San Jose and then the University of Sto. Tomas. At the age of 30, he qualified as a lawyer. He happened to marry his cousin, Marciana, by whom he bore four sons and two daugthers.


The hero has always been fond in writing and reading European and classic even as a young man. He decided to write instead of building a career in law. As a writer, Del Pilar became famous not only because of his beautiful style but because of his prospective views as well. He criticized the Spanish authorities for the backward condition of his country and people. He wrote under the pen name of Dolores Manapat, Piping Dilat, L. O. Crame, Carmelo, and Plaridel.


He practiced law in Bulacan where he defended the poor and the weak from the cruelty of the Spaniards. Because of these, the Spanish official waned him in prison.


On October 22, 1889, he left hurriedly for Spain. Once in Barcelona, he quickly joined a group of Filipinos who were them publishing La Solidaridad under the direction of Graciano Lopez-Jaena. Fortunately, he was able to own the paper on November 15, 1889 or nine months after its maiden appearance. From then on, La Solidaridad came out regularly.


La Solidaridad became the news paper of the propagandist, who, for reason of security, had to use pen names. Jose Rizal wrote as Laong-Laan and Dimasalang; Mariano Ponce as Narning, Tikbalng, and Kalipulado; Antonio Luna as Tagalog; Jose Maria Panganiban as Jomapa; Dominador Franco as Ramiro Franco; and Clemente J. Zulueta as Juan Tatto; Del Pilar freckquently signed Plaridel or else Kupang.


In the hands of Del Pilar, La Solidaridad not only served as a revolutionary paper but also as a means for education and reform. The paper which came out once every two weeks fought for the following;


1. Reforms in the government and in the judiciary;

2. Representation in the Spanish Cortes;

3. Removal of the friars in the Philippines;

4. Secularization of Parishes;

5. Freedom of speech, pres association, and meetings; and

6. Greater individual and social freedom.


For six years, Del Pilar devoted his time and energy to the publication of La Solidaridad. Financial stress and hunger failed to stop him. Since the publication lacked money and men, the editor had to do most of the writing, copy reading, and asking for contributions himself. It was his first and last love. Del Pilar was able to write about one hundred fifty essays and sixty-s-six editorials. His outstanding essays were: La Soberia Monacal en Filipinas, (1888); El Dios Omnipotente, Essays on Rules of English Syntax, Outlines on International Code, and Cuestiones de Sermo.


His well-known editorials were: LaFilipinas Se Pierden, Asimilacion de Filipinas, Regimen Parliamentaria para Filipinas La Redencion de Filipinas and Autocracia Brutal.


The Spanish periodical, La Politica de Espana, paid tribute to Marcelo H. del Pilar when it wrote that he, as propagandist was doubtless the greatest produced by the Filipino people.


The hero died alone and poor in Barcelona on July 4, 1898. Oftentimes, he would sit in the park shivering in the cold without a single peseta to pay for his meals. He also felt the pangs of homesickness. It is said that his dying words to his countrymen were: "Go ahead with the work. Seek the liberty and happiness of our beloved Philippines".

Voice of Nationalism

Father Pedro Pelaez was better-off than the most of the Filipino priest in his time. Through industry, intelligence, and above all leadership. Father Pelaez rose rapidly to a high position in the Church hierarchy. He was Vicar-General of Manila, a magistrate and treasurer of La Sagrada Cathedral, and finally, acting Archbishop and Ecclesiastical Governor of Manila.


Although he had such good fortune, Pelaez found little peace of mind. He was deeply concerned about the poor lot of his own people, and the lack of opportunity for highly qualified Filipino priest. He then became the voice of the Filipino clergy in its crusade for fairness, equality, and truth.


A native of Manila, Father Pelaez was an offspring of Spanish father and a Tagalog mother. He earned a doctorate degree in canon law and theology.


The books that he wrote were: Documentos Sobre los Curatos de Filipinas, Exposicion al Sr. Gobernador Vice Patron Real de Filipinas con Defensas a los Derecho Preperados de Curo Secular (1862), and Collection de Cuestiones Canonicas v Teologicas. The first is nationalistic, presenting evidence against malpracticing Spanish priest. The second is an essay addressed to the governor presenting the rights of Filipino priest. The last is a compilation of church laws and questions.

In addition, Pelaez joined the movement giving Filipino priest a chance to run their own parishes by writing articles in La Verdad, a magazine published in Madrid. He also wrote for La Regeneracion, and founded and edited El Catolico Filipino in Manila. This local publications, apart from their religious content, became for many years the vehicle of nationalistic ideas

Father Pelaez's articles, although well-written and backed with enough evidence failed to induce the Church officials to mend their ways. All he got was respect for his literary ability and a high church position in the La Sagrada Catedral in Intramuros, Manila. Pelaez' nationalistic writings stopped only when he became a victim of Manila's destructive earthquake in 1863. He was inside the Manila Cathedral when the earthquake reduced it to rubbles.

Nine years later, Father Jose A. Burgos, another literary talent nationalist of the same caliber, met his death in the hands of the Spaniards.

The Incurable Romantic

Jose dela Cruz, better known as Huseng Sisiw, was a romantic person at heart. Two short poems became definitely identified with him: Singsing ng Pag-ibig (The Ring of Love) and Awa sa Pag-ibig (Pity in Love). The first one expressed the poet's futile love likened to a ring that was lost in a sea. The other one is a much longer poem; it consist of four stanzas, with four lines each. It tells of unretuned love.

Dela Cruz was a native of Pandacan, Manila. He was largerly a self-taught poet who gained his second name for accepting young chickens as payments for writing love poems. This many sounds extraordinary but Jose never cared much for money. Hence, even the poor can afford to pay Jose's services since chickens abound and are not hard to find.

It was said that Huseng Sisiw was Balagtas' Teacher in Tagalog poetry. Baltazar, however, was a far better educated writer than Huseng Sisiw. Long before he met dela Cruz, Balagtas was already writing verses while in College and after his graduation.

The extent of dela Cruz's writing is known to us through his original works. We know their titles and often their classification. For instance, he had written a considerable number of metrical stories and moro-moros. Some of the corridos he wrote were: Clarita, Adela at Florante, Teodoro at Clavela, and Segismundo, his masterpiece. His moro-moro plays are La Guerra Civil de Granada, Hernandez at Galisandra, Reyna Encantada o Casamiento por Fuerza, and Rodrigo de Vivar. The greater part of Sisiw's plays were staged in the Tondo Theater.
