The Philippine Hero Jose Rizal in Madrid, Spain

Jose Rizal's iconic monument at the Luneta in Manila is replicated in Madrid, Spain where he stayed and studied. Here's my video feature on a visit on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 in Madrid.

Filipinos are welcome in Spain! Trad.: los filipinos son bienvenidos en España. Perhaps you don't know: 1) Emilio Aguinaldo, the Filipinas First President, spoke Spanish and Filipino, and Jose Rizal, too. 2) The first Constitution was written in Spanish. 3) The lyrics of Philippines National Antem were written in Spanish. 4) Many words in tagalog are originally Spanish. If Filipinos want to learn and speak Spanish again, many Spaniards will help them with pleasure.

[@lorainelonghay6655]

Well, I would certainly like to learn the Spanish language but not the modern Spanish language, I want to learn the Castellan Spanish language since most of our Filipino ancestors spoke Castellan Spanish back in those good old days.

By email: I downloaded the interview of that Spanish lady. I was amazed that she took the time to learn about our national hero and read the entire Ultimo Adios. She said she liked the poetry as it wasbeautifully worded and ladened with so much emotion. She could not believe how he had written such an astounding poetry given the fact that he had only a day to live. I myself have not stopped re-reading El Ultimo Adios even though I have the entire poetry by memory. Eddie Calderon Minnesota

[@lochinvar50]

Spanish authorities in the Philippines charged Rizal with scrupulous allegations of fomenting rebellion and decided to execute Rizal. Yet they didn't prepare for the possible consequence of their action. In two years, this action led to Spain's eventual departure from the Philippines. Obviously, they didn't have the force to counter the revolution spurred by the execution of Rizal. The trouble started when they killed 3 Filipino priests by garrote early on for alleged instigation of chaos.

[@jonieevangelista]

Rizal is extremely an achiever (check his museum in PH) ... ahead of his time, brave as he opened up many Filipino minds thru his writings which eventually ignites a nationwide revolution.

[@ServandoWatercolor]

Nice video! When I visited Spain, the people were genuinely nice, helpful and receptive. The way they speak was so fluid and unique. Such a treat to see a metro stop called "Las Filipinas" in Madrid.

[@semi5alpha]

Many say Bonifacio should have been the national hero. But after knowing things, I say it is still Rizal because of his great influence to the people. He influenced Bonifacio himself. When RIzal died, the whole country erupted in anger bringing freedom in the end.

[@sorchakim]

Even after death, Rizal's "Mi Ultimo Adios" has helped the country because it has laid the foundation for an autonomous government in the Philippines. We were still perceived as a community of barbarians, incapable of self-government when we were annexed by the U.S. This is the poem the U.S. representative Henry Cooper recited before the US Congress and it made them realized the nobility of Rizal, they have enacted the Philippine Bill of 1902 enabling self-government for our country as a result. A hero in life and in death.

[@otanix]

Finally, what Rizal did was to spark the raging and the final revolution. If Rizal wanted integration instead of revolution, then is Rizal a hero of independence and liberty? I say yes. He wanted liberty and independence as any other Filipino of that time. But Rizal has strategy and he knows timing. He wasn't the brain nor the leader of the revolution. But he was the catalyst that sparked the final blow.

Darcy Liz what are you mad about? Its actually true! Jose rizal wanted reforms, not total independence as he didn’t want to cause a revolution. He just wanted to have more representation and more privileges and rights for the filipinos. However, when the revolution was imminent, Rizal was almost broken out away from prison by Bonifacio and become the leader of the revolution but he refused. So i dont know why you’re mad about his/her statement

Nice to know there is this monument of Rizal in Madrid. His execution was outrageous. He was not even a separatist, just what we would call an "autonomist".

[@moondust2365]

Not really. He just wanted us to be a proper Province rather than just a colony or rather than an indepent nation or an autonomous province (which I don't think existed back then). So it's like if someone back when we were a commonwealth of the US advocated for our full incorporation into the US as a state. Neither of which happened.

[@otanix]

1 of 2) Rizal wanted the Philippines to be recognized as a province of Spain. He wasn't convinced yet at that time that Filipinos were ready to be independent. But Bonifacio, a revolutionary leader, wanted independence. Rizal's argument was that Filipinos have to learn first how to govern a country before going independent, and that the local may learn it if Spain recognized the Philippines as a part of it and grant the locals equal rights with the Spaniards. Bonifacio then agreed.

The Americans who came to the Philippines were not saints, but they had nothing to do with forcing their language on us.

Do you speak Chavacano? ¿Hablas chabacano? Soy español y te he entendido bien. Un abrazo y saludos

[@drene4865]

are there any español here? If you'd ask me I want spain to be part of philippines again, Emilio Aguinaldo cheated on us that play was inappropriate he loves to eat his own money, Rizal know what's best. what about us Filipinos we're kinda suffering because of corruption mostly latino filipinos are affected. (some people with low class Spanish Decent) even us from Iloilo can't run our own business like how it ran before back in Spanish times because of the government. all we can do is restoring our city(so limited) all i can say para sa gobierno ta dedicado dapat, di mo ma comparar ang past ky mas ma apreciar ko pa to, we have to move on and follow Rizal segurado mas efectivo pa and gina implementar ni Rizal sa aton, ky importante guid ang original nga freedom,

[@drene4865]

bro, Hindi porke sinakop tayo ng mga español noon eh, lahat ng mga pinoy ay may dugong español narin.Hindi mo masasabing may lahi kang hispano dahil lamang sa apelyido mo ay hispano,o sabi ng lolo mo ay half español siya. kokonti lamang ang mga white Hispanic na nagmigrate dito sa pinas,sila yung mga nakakaangat na estado ng buhay. culturally, Filipinos are hispanic, pero,not linguistically, at ethnically. tayo ay nasa malayo-polynesian race, at ang mga guapo,guapo,mayaman,at maimpluwensyang mga tao lamang ang notably na may lahing hispano.kaya yung mga typical na pilipinong mga tulad natin, wag na nating pangarapin, o I-self proclaim na meron tayong lahing español dahil kahit anong gawin mo Filipino tayo, Hindi tayo latino.

[@incogni2390]

Mapalad nga tayo at Hindi nagsagawa ng genocide ang mga dayuhan sa bansa natin. Di tulad sa Latin America,halos ubos ang native na lahi nila,at puro Europeans ang pumalit. May sarili tayong wika. At di mo ikauunlad ang pagpapanggap na isa kang Latino. Dahil kahit saan ka pumunta, makikilala ka nilang pilipino at Hindi isang Latino/Hispano.Wag tayong maging mang mang.

[@drene4865]

if we have natives let them speak there own language it's for them wa all respect them, Most Filipino Chinese can speak chinese how about latino Filipinos haw can we learn our second language.

[@incogni2390]

Yung mga puro at may mga dugong español na alam ko,español din ang lengwahe nila sa bahay, na preserved nila yung Spanish language sa pamilya nila,at di na nila kailangan magaral ng spanish. Alam ko dahil may mga kapit bahay ako dito sa cavite na galing sa maharlikang pamilya noong spanish colonial era, sila yung mga tinatawag na insulares, ibig sabihin,purong español pero dito na ipinanganak sa pilipinas. Pilipino ang lingwahe nila,pero kapag sila sila nalang magkasama spanish ang lingwahe nila. Lahat ng pamilyang galing sa Spanish ancestry iprinepreserve nila yung Spanish language ng pamilya nila at ipinapasa sa bawat henerasyon ng angkan nila. Dun mo malalaman na galing ka sa angkan ng insulares. Dahil noong colonial era ang mga natives natin Hindi nagsasalita ng español,yung mga maharlikang pilipino lang ang ginagamit ng ganong lingwahe,kaya wag kanang magtaka,kung di na preserved yung lingwaheng Spanish sa pamilya mo ibig sabihin Hindi ka galing sa angkan ng insulares,kungdi sa angkan ng mga ninuno ko at ninuno ng mga tubong pilipino.

This makes me wonder what is taught in Spanish schools about former colonies. In America, the topic is glossed over in high schools.

[@jff624]

I am always sad whenever Spain is portrayed as a villain by the Philippine media (especially the evening telenovela) ... it is as if nothing good was ever brought by Spain to the Philippines and that suffering and more suffering are the only things that they offered... it is as if all problems and bad things that we have today are caused by the Spanish occupation - as if Spain did not take an effort to recognize those who were born here aside from those that anti-Spanish propagandist showed ....

I know spain did horrible things to my country Philippines but if we weren't for them we are not civilized or worst still fighting because of different tribes that occupies the archipelago. Haters gonna hate we still have something to thank spain for.

[@isaacblancaflor1895]

After enslaving us for 300 years, polo y servicio, and stealing our natural resources? Do we really need to thank them for making us civilized?

[@jinsakai5307]

MeArse EeOnFur to be honest yes

[@jrkun420]

Scout Ranger nope before spain we are civilized we have our own educations like alibaba and cool thing that we have royal blood kingdoms and we are rich in golds and thats the target of spain to steal our wealth they change our history shame on them dont be proud on that western country

[@dessaster6639]

I think so but fuck Japan they are the worst invader in history they dont deserve credit

[@beanzor]

Actually you guys would probably not even be born. The Philippines we see today, with lots of mixed races was a result of Spanish conquest. Not everyone is a mixed race but the consequences of colonization opened the Philippines up to the path it is today. The language, the culture, the way you look (if you're mestizo), is because of Spain. Additionally, it was Spain that unified the Philippine archipelago, before the Spanish arrival, Philippines wasn't even one country. Also the first Filipinos were Spanish.

[@sexiliciouslyhott]

What do you mean the Spanish borrowed surnames from their neighbors? Lol you mean names derived from Latin? That doesn't mean they borrowed them since Spanish is descended from Latin
