Lolo Jose: An Intimate and Illustrated Portrait of Jose Rizal



Lolo Jose: An Intimate and Illustrated Portrait of Jose Rizal [Hardcover] by Asuncio Lopez Bantug

Different is this Jose Rizal book, because it's written from "inside" the family. Mrs. Bantug has long been an invaluable source for Jose Rizal researchers and biographers. Even the now all too familiar events of the Jose Rizal story take on new color and suspense. Again and again in Mrs. Bantug's book we get this excited feeling that we are seeing Jose Rizal plain. The national monument has become flesh and blood.

Product Description

Lolo Jose: An Intimate and Illustrated Portrait of Jose Rizal traces the vivid life story of the First Filipino as culled from family lore and personal anecdotes. Rizal's grandniece Asuncion Lopez Bantug has written a biography that enables us to see, hear, and feel how an acutely sensitive and prodigiously talented boy became the Philippine national hero in an epoch of great suffering and danger.
The book features the most comprehensive photo album of Rizal, with more than three hundred historical photos and reproductions, along with the complete bibliography of his visual, literary, and political works. Also included are an illustrated chronology of his life and the family's remarkable genealogical chart which traces their Chinese ancestry back to the early seventeenth century and springs forward to six generations of descendants.
 
The hardcover edition is accompanied by the CD-ROM Codex Rizal, which contains the full text of Rizal's novels and selected works, landmark biographies by Wenceslao Retana (Vida y Escritos del Dr. Jose Rizal), Austin Craig (Lineage, Life, and Labors of Jose Rizal), and Rafael Palma (Biografia de Rizal), Teodoro Kalaw's pioneering Epistolario Rizalino (the scholarly compilation of Rizal's correspondence in Spanish), and a gallery of over two hundred photographs and illustrations. Codex Rizal is linked to Filipiniana.net's The Complete Jose Rizal, the most extensive online repository of Rizal's monumental cultural output.

About the Author

Asuncion Lopez Bantug was educated at Assumption Convent and the University of Santo Tomas. She holds a bachelor of arts in journalism and a bachelor of science in education (cum laude). She has contributed to various Philippine publications and belongs to the Women Writers Group, which counts Carmen Guerrero Nakpil and Maria Kalaw Katigbak among its members. In 1938 Bantug won honorable mention in the National Rizal Biography Contest. She was married to Antonio Bantug, the numismatist and Filipiniana collector. They have five children and nineteen grandchildren.

Rizal Without The Overcoat by Ambeth Ocampo



Rizal Without The Overcoat [Paperback] by Ambeth Ocampo

"Through writing about history, Ocampo writes on Jose Rizal as if he happened yesterday. In the clean, cool style of a good journalist...Ocampo is one histrian who has never been know to impose dogmas and definitive treatises. Reading Ocampo's history is like sitting down with a friend who shares what he has learned. But what he does best is to share the certainty of his doubts. Which probably makes him less of a historian. But the history is too serious to be left to historian."

Jose Rizal's Book - The Reign of Greed: Complete English Version of El Filibusterismo



The Reign of Greed: Complete English Version of El Filibusterismo (Dodo Press) [Paperback]

Dr. Jose Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda (1861-1896) was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree sobresaliente. Rizal enrolled in Medicine and Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas and then travelled alone to Madrid, Spain, where he continued his studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine. He was a prolific poet, essayist, diarist, correspondent, and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere (1887) and El Filibusterismo (1891). As a political figure, Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan led by Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. He is considered the Philippines' national hero and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.

Jose Rizal's El Filibusterismo: Subversion: A Sequel to Noli Me Tangere [Paperback]


Jose Rizal's El Filibusterismo: Subversion: A Sequel to Noli Me Tangere [Paperback]


"El Filibusterismo" ("The Subversive") is the second novel by Jose Rizal (1861-1896), national hero of the Philippines. Like its predecessor, the better-known "Noli Me Tangere", the "Fili" was written in Castilian while Rizal was traveling and studying in Europe. It was published in Ghent in 1891 and later translated into English, German, French, Japanese, Tagalog, Ilonggo, and other languages. A nationalist novel by an author who has been called "the first Filipino," its nature as a social document of the late-nineteenth-century Philippines is often emphasized. For many years, copies of the "Fili" were smuggled into the Philippines after it was condemned as subversive by the Spanish authorities. Characters from the "Noli" (Basilio, Dona Victorina, Padre Salvi) return while new ones are introduced: Simoun, the transformed Ibarra; Cabesang Tales and his struggle for justice; the nationalist student Isagani; the Indio priest Padre Florentino. Through them the colonial milieu is expanded - its officialdom, education, legal system, power plays, social patterns - and seen anew as context for conflict and insight. Translator Soledad Lacson-Locsin is the first to have worked from facsimile editions of the original manuscripts. The result is the most authoritative and faithful English translation to date, one which attempts to preserve in English the cadence and color of the original.

    "It is by far one of the best I have ever read and I am indebted to the friend who recommended it to me as it is most certainly the finest novel to emerge from the troubled times that produced it."

    "Looking for a book that has elements of romance, religion, tragedy, and the like? I highly suggest this book! Having read Rizal's masterpiece as a high school student, I soon realized the brilliance of this authors work for having helped initialize the revolutionary minds behind the Katipuneros struggle against what seemed to be an overwhelming force. It acts as an accurate expose of what the Philippines was subjected through during Spain's colonial period in the Pacific. It isn't an easy read, but if you want to get a glimpse of what Spanish colonialism in the latter half of the 19th century was like, read this book. Ibarra, the main character is rumored to be the pseudonym of the author, which eventually got this and his other works banned by the colonial administration."

    "Being one of the most highly regarded figures in the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal is admired as a symbol of Filipinos. His books are well-read in the Philippines, and have been very influential in the history of the Philippines. If nothing else, this book should be read for the historical impact is had and is having on the country."

    "The book was great and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the Philippines. I think it paints a picture of the culture that can only be painted in narrative. A culture book, or an anthropology book cannot express what Jose Rizal expressed in this novel."

    "Juan Crisostomo Ibarra, the protagonist, returns to his country after being educated in Madrid, and seeks to marry Maria Clara, a young woman who had been betrothed to him when they were children. He tries to use his education to help the townspeople, but his efforts are thwarted by the clergy. It is these priests who prevent him from learning the true cause of his father's death, and he is eventually labeled as a heretic and is excommunicated from society. He escapes being assasinated and flees, vowing to revenge himself, his father, and Maria Clara."

    Jose Rizal The Movie - Philippine Tagalog



    JOSE RIZAL (1861-1896), Philippine nationalist and martyr, pride of the Malayan race, was a versatile genius. He was a poet and patriot, novelist, painter, sculptor, linguist, physician, ophthalmic surgeon, educator, ethnologist, naturalist, economist, engineer, and theologian. He was an expert swordsman and a good shot. Having studied and traveled extensively in Europe, America and Asia, he mastered 22 languages including Latin, Spanish, German, English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Russian, Tagalog, and other native dialects. "Jose Rizal" is the most spectacular and controversial Philippine film epic made to date. It was released in Manila, in June 1998, the Centennial of Philippine Independence.

    You ever hear of someone having a "martyr complex"? Jose Rizal had it in spades. He was willing to sacrifice everything including life itself for this patriotic ideal of a more democratic Philippines. The irony of course is that the ideals he fought for, i.e., national unity and a national identity seem to have been forgotten after the Americans left in 1946. Unlike most of his countrymen of his era, Jose Rizal was an intellectual and he was prescient enough to realize that there could never be a country unless each Filipino recognized the need for self-sacrifice and putting aside differences for the common good. Sad to say that since his death, the country has degenerated into rival political clans and families - pretty much the same way Filipinos used to be before the Spaniards arrived.

    Monumento ni Jose Rizal

    Ang Liwasang Rizal o Parkeng Rizal ay nasa puso ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Pilipinas. Sa pook na ito binaril si Jose Rizal noong Disyembre 30, 1896. Pinalitan ng opisyal na pangalang Liwasang Rizal ang parke bilang parangal kay Rizal. Matatagpuan ito sa Intramuros at ang bahaging katimugan naman ay nasa Ermita.

    Dating tinatawag ng Bagumbayan noong kapanuhan ng kolonyalismo sa ilalim ng mga Kastila, at tinawag na Luneta pagdaka. Ang pagkamartir ni Rizal ang dahilan ng kaniyang pagiging bayani ng Himagsikang Pilipino, bagkus, ipinangalan sa kanya ang liwasan para ikarangal ang kanyang pagkabayani. Nagsisilbi ring punto ng orihen o Kilometro Sero patungo sa lahat ng ibang mga kalunsuran sa Pilipinas ang monumento ni Rizal.

    Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda

    Si Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda ay ang pampito sa labing-isang anak ng mag-asawang Francisco Engracio Rizal Mercado y Alejandro at ng asawa nitong si Teodora Morales Alonzo Realonda y Quintos. Ang ina ni Rizal ay siyang kaniyang unang guro at nagturo sa kaniya ng abakada noong siya ay tatlong taon pa lamang. Ilang buwan ang nakalipas, pinayuhan niya ang magulang ni Rizal na pag-aralin siya sa Maynila. Sa kaniyang pananatili sa paaralang ito, natanggap niya ang lahat ng mga pangunahing medalya at notang sobresaliente sa lahat ng aklat. Siya ay kumuha ng Pilosopiya at Panitikan sa Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas. Kinuha niya ang kursong panggagamot sa nasabing Pamantasan pagkatapos mabatid na ang kaniyang ina ay tinubuan ng katarata. Doo'y pumasok siya sa Universidad Central de Madrid, kung saan, sa ikalawang taon ay natapos niya ang karerang Medisina, bilang sobresaliente. Naglakbay siya sa Pransya at nagpakadalubhasa sa paggamot ng sakit sa mata sa isang klinika roon. Sa taon din ng kaniyang pagtatapos ng Medisina, siya ay nag-aral ng wikang Ingles, bilang karagdagan sa mga wikang kaniya nang nalalaman gaya ng Pranses.
