Rose, That was a missing antecedent, sorry. Now you will discover that it is 'discovery.' Frank ... didn't get this one; what is "that"? ... up) ... to...
CDV, You are dreaming! Here's that part of the poem, 4th stanza (my translation): My dreams when I was just a child adolescent, My dreams in youth when I had...
Frank, Thanks for supplying the missing antecedent. Hope yoy discover a lot such thay you'll contribute articles/commentaries to the webpage(s) Rose ...
CDV, Mali yata, "pahiwatig" means indication, hint, meaning.... am not sure if the correct term for suggestionis "panukala". Still busy with many nothings...
Gil....that particular stanza in the whole poem just blows me away. To Filipinas, Dr. Jose "Pepe" Rizal must be her firstborn...or if Patria Adorada is...
and all this time I thought "pahiwatig" meant suggestion. :( Estudyante CDV ... sure if the correct term for suggestionis "panukala". Still busy with many...
Interesting...thanks for the info, Dr. Yoder. Maybe some day during a lull in activities I'll look up Mexico and its more current history. Love that internet! ...
You might want to check out this URL: http://www.mexonline.com/revolution.htm or here: In 1934, Cardenas took the oath of office as Mexican President. At this...
I took a quick peek at the sites....they look very interesting. As I have mentioned before, while I have an unusual interest in Rizal, I also have an unusual...
I beg to disagree with you, Frank. Learning does not necessarily equate to reading, nor vice versa. Learning, according to Plato, is essentially remembering...
Hi, Eaglewings and Frank, You're both right, actually, but let me add my 10 cents' worth. Filipinos don't read Rizal nor much of anything because they do...
For what it is worth, I have an American friend (married to a Filipina) who did his Masters at UP on the Acapulco trade route. He maintains that the...
Then there are the exceptions to the rule. I received a note from a young Filipina nurse today that said at first she was "disappointed" (her words) at being...
Probably true, but that begs the question - how does/did the Catholicism of Mexico differ from that of Spain? Even as I write this reply I recall Rizal...
I agree...but sadly the exceptions are few and far between. It is possible that more damage is done "forcing" Rizal on people. I like the way it is done here...
Fellow Ilustrados, ***readers don't get to know the best of the authors because, first they don't have and not not likely to develop a reading habit, secondly,...
***Learning, according to Plato, is essentially remembering what you already knew in the first place.*** So Rizal and I were both born with all the knowledge...
I have recently received an e=mail from a student Shivaun Tigulo from Liceo de Cagayan University. The question posed is as follows, "I would just like to ask...
Hi Bobby, I finally found my record of this fellow Atty. Carmelo who gave his theories on why corruption abounds in the RP and his suggested solution. I...
Rose, I'm thinking of uploading a chapter of my book on JR built around my (brand new) translation of his valedictory poem, the one you know as MI ULTIMO...
Rose, You're right again! We don't have a reading culture. We have a gossip culture, a downgrading culture (like 'The Filipino is not worth dying for.' or 'The...
***So why don't we start a publishing venture online for the love (and money)?*** Too bad it wouldn't be read by Filipinos as a whole, amen? Indio CDV...
Dear RP-Mabini members, Just kidding...I know this isn't relevant to Rizal, but I thought you'd like to know that a very short book on Mabini and his Decalogue...
Frank, Okay, ready when you are. But what shall we publish-----komiks, comedy skits, tear-jerker stories and fully illustrated historical tidbits? sigh,...
Frank, By "JR", do you mean the Rizal Quotations webpage? That would be nice. Now, tell me what is the quid pro quo for this "free" chapter? Btw, is your...
CDV, You must know that I am an eternal optimist, you know, 'Never say die until you're dead.' And I don't blame the non-readers -- I would blame the writers...
Gil & Rose, I can see that you are among those who equate poverty with population. That's only numbers. If you talk of numbers, the numbers always win. Frank ...
Frank, You misunderstand me, I think. Numbers is not the only factor in the poverty equation. Culture plays an even greater role. Two nights ago, I was...
