A Questionable Survey: “The Most Beloved Filipino Leader”

A Questionable Survey: “The Most Beloved Filipino Leader”
By Marcing Pin

Today is the 24th Anniversary of the mutiny that lead to the “People Power Uprising” of February 1986. The uprising against the dictator succeeded because of the combine efforts of both the military and the civil society. Today, many Filipinos would not even care to remember the event that helps restore the freedom they enjoyed today. Is it because of lack of patriotism (love of country) and more of individualism (self-love) amongst present-day Filipinos? Or are we just plain dumb?

Just recently, the Philippine media from the newspapers to television networks reported (and plagiarizing each other) a supposedly nationwide survey about “Who is the most beloved Filipino politician or leader?”. The survey includes the Who’s Who of the past and present Philippines: including two martyrs that inspired revolutions (José Rizal and Ninoy Aquino), a thieving dictator (Ferdinand Marcos), a convicted plunderer (Joseph Estrada), war heroes (Ramon Magsaysay and Fidel Ramos), a housewife (Cory Aquino), the incumbent President (Gloria Arroyo) and Vice President (Noli de Castro), and of course, the current presidentiables. Surprisingly, great leaders (Former President Manuel Quezon) and true heroes (Andres Bonifacio, Cardinal Jaime Sin, Datu Lapu-Lapu, and other Filipinos who gave their lives for the Philippines in the War of Independence and the Second World War) were intentionally left out or forgotten and ignored….

Is the Philippines Ready For Humanism?

A long line of women together with their children, standing under the sun, waiting patiently for their turn to buy a few kilos of rice. The poorest of the poor has their own line in buying cheaper rice, mostly located in the baranggay’s parish church. Poverty really took its toll in the Philippines,...

Time To Awaken The Rizal In All Of Us

Tomorrow, June 19 we celebrate — with much gratitude and adoration, Jose Rizal’s birthday. For the uninformed few (okay, very very few, if there are actually any), Jose Protacio Rizal is the Philippine’s National Hero. I guess there’s no need to elaborate on that.

I have the pleasure and honor of living (for almost 2 years now) in the same city where he was born — Calamba City, Laguna. And so, being a few kilometers away from Rizal’s Shrine (Rizal’s ancestral house), I feel that it is only appropriate and yes, expected that I blog about him today — not discounting the fact that I genuinely have the urge to write about him. Before anything else, I have a confession to make. In the (almost) 2 years that I’ve moved here with my family, I have not (and I am ashamed to admit this..) visited Rizal’s Shrine — not even once. And it’s not for lack of anything but “effort”. Read more
