An American Discovers the Legacy of Jose Rizal: National Hero of the Philippines
This video looks at the life of Dr. José Rizal, the Philippines' national hero. It touches on his early years, education, and his role in exposing abuses of the Catholic priesthood at the time and Spanish colonial rule. Through his writings, particularly Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Rizal exposed the injustices faced by Filipinos, leading a national awakening. The video highlights his advocacy for reform through education, and his tragic execution, which ultimately solidified his status as a martyr. With a blend of historical analysis, quotes from his famous works and personal insight, it describes Rizal’s ongoing influence on Philippine identity and independence celebrated every December 30th, the day of his execution.

    Fairly new subscriber, keep it up Pops! My gf is Filipina & I've spent time in the PI as a young sailor. The history is fascinating. I recently watched the biography on Larry Itliong the labor organizer which was fascinating as well. Off topic, I watch you and Josh and your travels, which are awesome by the way, and noticed that you are claustrophobic and acrophobic. As I've aged I have become more uncomfortable in close settings as well. Caves. MRI scanners etc. I'm worried I may have a problem with flying. I haven't flown in quite a while but would like to. How do you manage that?

    America chose this hero for the Philippines in 1901 as a safe bet over someone like Bonifacio who was more like George Washington who actually fought for independence in the battlefield. Rizal was more like Thomas Jefferson, in regards his roles in the revolution. The national hero should be one of the people, not some rich kid who writes about how unfair the world is to him as he travels the world spending his parents money. Rizal was never about Philippine independence and he didn't even care about the common indios. Rizal was fighting for the illustrados to be given equal treatment to the spanish.
