Claro M. Recto was born in Tiaong, Tayabas, on Feb. 8, 1890. He worked for a bachelor of arts at the Ateneo de Manila and finished a master of laws degree at the University of Santo Tomas in 1914. From 1916 to 1919 he served as legal adviser to the Philippine Senate. In 1919 he was elected as representative of the third district of Batangas and served as House minority floor leader. He was reelected in 1922 and 1925.

Fernando María Guerrero Ramírez (May 30, 1873 – June 12, 1929) was a Spanish Filipino, poet, journalist, lawyer, politician, and polyglot who became a significant figure during the Philippines' golden period of Spanish literature, a period ranging from 1890 to the outbreak of World War II in 1940.

•Period of enlightenment

José Rizal (1861-1896) is one of the most revered figures in Philippine history. He was a multifaceted intellectual and a political activist, best known for his political writings that inspired the Philippine revolution and ultimately led to his execution by the Spanish colonizers.

Graciano Lopez Jaena

He was recognized as the "Prince of Filipino Orators" who wrote great and striking articles in the infamous newspaper La Solidaridad in Barcelona, Spain. Founder and first editor of the newspaper La Solidaridad, which became the vehicle of expression for Filipino propaganda in Spain.

•American Regime

Macario G. Adriatico

(10 Marso 1869-14 Abril 1919)

Scholar, journalist, and politician; known as the “Father of Manila’s City Charter”

Lope K. Santos (1879 – 1963) is known as the “Father of the Philippine National Language and Grammar.” His most famous works are the Balarila ng Wikang Pambansa (Grammar of the National Language) and the novel Banaag at Sikat (1906), known as the “Bible of working-class Filipinos.”

• Philippine literature in English

Jose Garcia Villa (1973)Aside from publishing various collections of poetry, Villa also added to the world of poetic style, introducing a new rhyme scheme called “reversed consonance.” As Villa explained, “The last sounded consonants of the last syllable, or the last principal consonant of a word, are reversed for the corresponding rhyme.

Carlos P. Romulo

Romulo, in all, wrote and published 18 books, a range of literary works which included The United (novel), I Walked with Heroes (autobiography), I Saw the Fall of the Philippines, Mother America, I See the Philippines Rise (war-time memoirs).

•Period of Activism

Rogelio Mangahas (9 May 1939 – 4 July 2018) was a Filipino artist and poet.

Born in Palasinan, Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, he was educated at the University of the East where he studied AB Filipino. Even then, he was already seeking others who shared the same interest in language, by spending most of his time with poet-friends such as Virgilio S. Almario and Teo Antonio at the University of the East. Together they spearheaded the second successful modernist movement in Filipino poetry.

365 Day Movie Challenge (2017) - #259: Susana (1951) - dir. Luis Buñuel

Rosita Quintana stars as the title character in this scintillating drama from Luis Buñuel. Susana is the devil incarnate, a reprobate who escapes from a reformatory when a vicious storm loosens the wooden frame of her window. She runs to the nearest house, finding refuge with Don Guadalupe (Fernando Soler), his wife Carmen (Matilde Palou) and their college-age son Alberto (Luis López Somoza). Carmen pities Susana, seeing her somewhat as the daughter she never had, and lets the young woman stay on the property as a servant. Susana immediately finds herself pursued by Jesús (Víctor Manuel Mendoza), the foreman who takes care of Guadalupe’s cattle; Susana herself is more interested in Alberto and Guadalupe, though, seducing both father and son with vigor. Only the family’s longtime housekeeper, Felisa (María Gentil Arcos), recognizes Susana as a destructive force from the moment of her arrival, and Felisa helps Doña Carmen realize that she must stand up to the homewrecker if Guadalupe’s family is to be saved.

Luis Buñuel always understood the cinematic power of sex, violence and religion; this is evident in The Criminal Life of Archibaldo De La Cruz (1955), Viridiana (1961) and Belle de Jour (1967), as well as probably many more films that I have yet to watch. As much as I appreciate his frequent forays into surrealism (there is no question that his directorial debut from 1929, Un Chien Andalou, is certainly one of the most iconic short films ever made), I appreciate that Susana has a straightforward narrative that is just as compelling as those in his more fantastical films. The pacing keeps the action tight (Susana runs only 86 minutes), while the black-and-white cinematography by José Ortiz Ramos complements the story nicely and gives a distinctive flourish to even the most basic moments of melodrama. Check out Susana if you’re a fan of Buñuel, a scholar of Mexican cinema or you’re looking for a film that’s just plain great.

P.S. I watched Susana as part of a DVD double feature; it was preceded by Nicholas Ray’s Born to Be Bad (1950). I definitely recommend the pair together!
