José Rizal was a polyglot who mastered 22 languages including Catalan, Chinese, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Latin, Malay, Sanskrit, Spanish, Tagalog, and other Philippine languages.. There were at least nine women linked with Rizal; namely Segunda Katigbak, Leonor Valenzuela, Leonor Rivera, Consuelo Ortiga, O-Sei San, Gertrude Beckette, Nelly Boustead, Suzanne Jacoby and Josephine Bracken. These women might have been beguiled by his intelligence, charm and wit.

[@livethephilippines]

The more I learn about him the more I admire, how intelligent and passionate he was.

[@marjoriecadanilla7546]

Wow! I know J. Rizal is a playboy,but I only know Leonor Rivera and Josephine Bracken I forgot Philippine history.

[@benitaredoble2923]

You are an amazing lady and family u guys know the Philippine history very well than most of us real Filipinos..I am here in USA since 1968 and watching u guys I am learning a lot about my own country from u..Your young man is very smart and articulate..Thank u very much for admiring my native land.

I wish the Philippines will also have a Museum of Modern Art because our modern artists are no less talented. In Singapore, I always visit their MOMA and surprise, surprise...there are always a lot of artwork by Filipino artists!! BTW, thank you so much for featuring our museum. I feel that there mot enough Philippine museums which will highlight Phillipine culture. I recommend going to the AYALA MUSEUM in Makati which high;rights Pre-Spanish Filipino arts and cultural items...you's be amazed by goldworks and items on display.

[@livethephilippines]

There are very few times my breath has been taken away like that by a painting. We were impressed with the museum.

​@@livethephilippinesi think you guys should watch the movie Heneral Luna the movie has English subs which narrates the life of General Antonio Luna, Juan Luna's brother where there is a resemblance of a scene there to the Spoliarium.

If modern art is watching someone pour mud on his head, then they can do it on the sidewalks.

[@OgStudioOfficialPH]

GREAT APPRECIATION for LTP, for giving time and research. SPECIFICALLY having PATIENCE on planning this kind of content. Giving the audience more understanding about the FILIPINO CULTURE in a way not many content creators do or did what you did 😊 KEEP IT UP! GREAT JOB!

Thank you for showing us our National Museum and you’re the first family vlogger who showed us and thankful for that because most of us has never been there. Keep up & God bless your family abundantly. One of your subscribers, Pinoy ofw in Hong Kong.

[@ruthvillalva1786]

This is nice a little review of Philippine history. That is Huge painting, occupying the whole wall. ❤️

[@livethephilippines]

It’s fantastic 🤩

[@ericgamboa-xf6hy]

For me the Pilipino painter like Juan Luna, Felix Hidalgo, Fernando Amorsolo and others they have amazing talents that can par with Europe talents

[@livethephilippines]

Their work makes that clear. So talented

[@cutebalddiver]

There are very few visitors who would make an effort to visit the National Museum. Metro Manila is the cultural and arts center in the country. Understanding our art will make you understand us as a people. Thank you. Btw, one of the portraits painted by Amorsolo (came out in this video) is my grandmother. We donated her portrait together with the bust of my grandfather to the National Museum.

[@livethephilippines]

That’s is so cool that your grandmother is one of his portraits 🫶

[@pogsp8849]

That kid is killing it. His humour is just simply funny😂. Is Enchanted Kingdom on your bucket list? Kids will enjoy it.

[@livethephilippines]

We love his sense of humor too 🤗 i’ve been looking into the enchanted kingdom lately and we hope we can take the kids

[@janTurtle1]

I hope this gets a lot Filipino kids as interested in their country's history as you have been, and not just because it's required learning in school. I highly appreciate the research put into this!

[@livethephilippines]

So happy you appreciate it :) We hope more people become more interested in history too.

[@lizdgb7570]

Bravo!! 👏👏👍 Not all vloggers have the capability to do this kind of content. This entails doing research on Philippine Arts and History prior to and after your museum visit. This vlog is epic and of value. It is unique, educational, historical, informative and a leap of difference from other common contents. Congratulations! Thank you for doing this museum visit.

Please tell Erin it’s ok that she fumbled saying “Amorsolo”. She said “Bohol” like a true local at 1:10

[@fedelosreyes8490]

Thank you, I appreciate that you take the time of narrating what you are seeing and the history of what was on display. I have been home 4 times in the 49 yrs I have been here in USA and never had the chance to visit this museum. I love your blogs. ❤ I will make sure to visit the museum when I visit next year.

[@livethephilippines]

We hope you get the chance to visit next time you’re in Manila 😊

[@KaleidoSTAR_PH]

you're one of the few foreign vloggers who go and visit our national museum, thanks for going there! and also, I hope you go to City of San Fernando, Pampanga for the Giant Lantern Festival where the birthplace of our national Christmas icon: the Parol

[@weekendschannel4345]

Been looking for this kinda "walkthrough" of our Philippine National Museum, thank you for featuring it

[@livethephilippines]

It takes some planning to do this... we had to apply for a permit and then we had 5 museum staff escorting us around!

[@athenstar10]

All foreign vloggers feature the usual beautiful islands, hustle and bustle of Manila, the high end districts and/or probably react to any videos about our country, but you guys went further by going to these places even most Filipinos won't go, (but I would as I love history and arts). Adn for that, you earn my respect. You got my subscription.🙂

My favorite museum in the country. Apart from the 3 you have mentioned (which is part of the NM Complex), the NM has more than 15 regional museums like in Cebu, Bohol and Zamboanga. Colt will probably appreciate Natural History more, it has tons of animal specimens.

*DJR was an eye doctor & attended University of Santo Thomas. I believe it is the oldest university in Asia. Fernando Amorsolo was born in Paco, Manila which is my residence since 1994. He died in 1972, the year I was born 😢. I wish he had stayed longer and waited for me 😅. I'm talking about art, silly! It would have been an honor to be under his wing. I love to draw realistic portraits but never attended art school. I was stupid. Wish I had. I'm still on the field of art but in a different area. And 2 of my 3 kids are both artists. Our house are full of art stuff/drawing materials and sketch books. My youngest doesn't just draw, he sculpts. So I have transparent bins to preserve and showcase his miniature FNAF works* Love your little guy! He has a funny side 😅
