NASA LAYLAYAN

(Isang pagsusuri sa maikling kwento ni Norman Wilwayco— DANGAL)

Kasabay ng paglobo ng populasyon sa ating bansa ay patuloy din ang pagtaas ng bilang ng mahihirap. Kung ikaw ay naninirahan sa mahirap na bansa tulad ng Pilipinas, isa na siguro sa pangarap mo ang magkaroon ng maraming salapi dahil sa panahon ngayon, lahat ng bagay ay maari mong makuha kapalit ng salapi.

Sa araw-araw na pagpasok ko sa Sintang Paaralan ay lagi kong pinagmamasdan ang mga bagay sa aking paligid tulad ng mga bahay dahil iba-iba ang laki at disenyo ng mga ito. Mapapansin mo agad ang napakarami’t naggagandang mga sasakyan sa EDSA at kung madalas kang bumyahe ay matatanaw mo kaagad ang mga malalaki at kumpol-kumpol na gusali ng Quezon City. Ngunit alam mo ba kung ano talagang pumupukaw ng aking atensyon bukod sa mga magagandang bahay, makukulay na sasakyan at matatayog at nagtataasang mga gusali? ITO AY ANG MGA TAO SA AKING PALIGID. Iba’t ibang tao ang aking nakakasalamuha sa araw-araw na pagpasok ko sa eskwelahan. Iba’t ibang mukha. Iba’t ibang uri ng pananamit. Iba’t iba rin ang kanilang mga ginagawa. Iba’t ibang uri ng paraan upang labanan ang kalam ng sikmura. Madalas kong makita ang mga nagtitinda ng karne sa aming palengke, mga tricycle, jeepney at bus driver isama mo na pati ang konduktor at ang mga barker na nagtatawag ng pasahero, may mga kasabay din akong kapwa ko estudyante na papasok din sa eskwelahan, mga nagtatrabaho sa opis, security guard sa mall, nagtitinda ng mga kendi o di kaya’y gulay. Tuwing pauwi naman ako ay nadaraanan ko ang hile-hilerang BAR at CLUBS sa kahabaan ng Aurora Bvd. Kung ikaw naman ay mapapadaan sa footbridge ng Cubao ay makikita mo ang mga BABAENG NAG-AABANG at madalas ay hatinggabi sila naroon. SA TINGIN MO? ANO ANG GINAGAWA NG MGA BABAENG IYON SA FOOTBRIDGE NG DIS-ORAS NA NG GABI?

Iba’t ibang mukha. Iba’t ibang uri ng trabaho. Iba’t ibang pamamaraan kung paano tutustusan ang pangangailangan ng pamilya. Iba’t ibang pamamaraan kung paano pag-aaralin at bubuhayin ang mga anak. Ilan lamang sa mga nabanggit ko ang iba’t ibang uri ng trabaho ng mga masisipag na Pilipino ngunit kinulang sa oportunidad at hanggang ngayon ay nasa laylayan pa rin ng lipunan at patuloy na naghihirap.

Ang unang bahagi ng kwento ay sumasalamin sa tunay na pinagdadaanan ng isang mahirap na estudyante na pumapasok sa paaralan. Sa aking personal na karanasan, talagang ganito ang nangyayari sa loob ng pampublikong paaralan. Naalala ko pa noon na may mga titser ako sa elementarya at hayskul na nagbebenta ng pagkain tulad ng stick-o, choco-choco at iba pang pagkain at mga tiket sa isang palabas sa sinehan (tulad na lamang ng isang palabas na aming pinanood sa sinehan tungkol sa mga langgam na hindi naman nagsasalita at wala namang itong kinalaman sa aming asignatura) na kapag ikaw ay bumili ng pagkain o tiket ay may dagdag puntos sa final grade. At sa huli, kahit kapos ang iilang mag-aaral ay mapipilitan na lamang panoorin o bumili dahil nakakapanghinayang naman talaga ang dagdag puntos na iyon.

Normal na lamang sa ating mga Pilipino na makarinig o makakita ng “working students”, ito ang mga estudyante na nagtatrabaho para lamang may maitulong sa pamilya at matustusan ang sariling pangangailangan lalo na sa eskwelahan tulad na lamang ng nagsasalaysay at ng kaibigan niyang si Chris. Sa tuwing kulang ang pangtustos nila para sa kanilang pag aaral ay humihinto sila dahil wala ring sapat na kita ang kanilang mga magulang para pag-aralin sila. Mas pipiliin nilang magtrabaho para may pangkain kaysa manatili sa silid-aralan at mag-aral. Hindi rin sila nakakapag-aral dahil wala silang oras para aralin ang mga susunod na leksyon. Ikinumpara niya ang kanyang sarili sa mga kaklase niyang may kaya at wala namang ginagawa sa buhay pero wala pa ring alam at nananatiling mga bobo. Sa ganung estado ng kanilang pamumuhay, hindi naman na bago sa atin ang mga ganitong sitwasyon. Isa lamang ito sa mga naging epekto dahil sa walang kwentang sistema ng gobyerno sa Pilipinas na dapat ang pinakapinagtutuunan nila ng pansin ay ang EDUKASYON. Sana ay maunlad din ang Pilipinas katulad ng mga karatig bansa nito kung binibigyang pansin ang EDUKASYON. Kung susuriin nating mabuti, mayaman naman talaga ang Pilipinas ngunit ang kayamanan nito ay napupunta lamang sa mga demonyong kawani ng gobyerno na walang ibang ginawa kundi magnakaw sa kaban ng bayan.

Noong una ay hindi pinapansin ng mga tao sina Chris at ang tagapagsalaysay, wala silang kaibigan at halos wala ring pakialam ang mga taga-PST at mga propesor sa kanila dahil kabilang sila sa tinatawag na “Average Students” ngunit nang yumaman si Chris ay itinuring silang “Elite Students” na kung saan lahat ng bagay na gusto ni Chris ay makukuha niya tulad ng condo, sasakyan, sapatos at mga damit. Nagkaroon din siya ng maraming kaibigan at naging paborito siya ng mga propesor. Isa rin sa inaabangan ng lahat ay ang pagpusta niya para makuha ang virginity ng isang mahinhin at konserbatibong babae na si Marissa. May mga babaeng lumapit kay Chris para sila na lang ang bayaran ni Chris. Isa lamang ito sa pagpapatunay na lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay maari mong makuha kapalit ng pera. Binayaran din ni Chris ang Direktor sa Students’ Affairs Office para hindi mangialam sa pustahan. Maihahalintulad ko ito sa ating justice system o sa mga mayayamang gumagawa ng kasalanan pero hindi nakukulong o napapawalang sala dahil sila ay may sapat na pera at kapangyarihan para bayaran ang mga abogado. Kayang kaya nilang bilhin ang hustisya. Kayang kaya nilang baliktarin ang kaso.

Ang kabuuan ng kwento ay halos umikot lamang sa pustahan kay Marissa. Sa huli ay tinanggap ni Marissa ang pera na inalok ni Chris ngunit hindi natin alam kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit niya ito tinanggap. Maaaring tinaggap niya ito dahil mahirap lamang din sila. Maaring tinanggap niya ito dahil kailangan niya ng pera. Maaring tinanggap niya ito dahil nagkasakit ang kanyang magulang. Maraming dahilan ang maaring umusbong para tanggapin niya ang pera na iyon. Alalahanin natin na ang Pilipinas ay kabilang sa mahihirap na bansa sa buong mundo (3rd world country) at maraming tao ang nagbebenta ng katawan at ipinagpalit ang dangal sa pera para makatulong at matustusan ang mga pangangailangan ng pamilya.

Bakit iyon ginawa ni Chris? Bakit sa maraming tao? Bakit ang hilig nilang mamahiya ng mga babae? Bakit may mga lalaking pinagpupustahan ang mga babae? Bakit laging babae ang kawawa? Bakit parang laging kasalanan ng babae?. Ilan lamang ang mga tanong na ito na nabuo sa aking isipan ng mabasa ko ang kwentong ito. Sa aking opinyon, hindi talaga ginusto ni Chris mangyari ito. Nakasaad sa katapusan ng kwento na naadik sa casino si Chris matapos ang pangyayaring iyon. Hindi na rin siya pumapasok at panay ang pag-aaya sa beerhouse. Para sa akin, ilan lamang ito sa nagpapatunay na totoong minahal/mahal niya si Marissa at hindi niya matanggap na pumayag ito sa kanyang alok.

Masasabi kong effective ang maikling kwento na ito dahil sa simula pa lamang ay maiintriga na ang mga mambabasa sa nais niyang iparating na mensahe at talagang aabangan mo ang mga pangyayari sa kwento na para bang isa ka na rin sa mga tsismoso’t tsismosang estudyante sa PST. Ang kwento ay ginamitan ng mga simple, tiyak at bulgar na salita na ramdam na ramdam mo ang pagiging realistic ng akda. Masasabi ko ring kakaiba ito sa aking mga nabasa o napanood dahil kadalasan ang katapusang ganitong kwento ay maghihirap ulit ang bida.

Convid 19 mengikut Tuan Berahim dan Lebai Hadi...

Convid 19 mengikut Tuan Berahim dan Lebai Hadi....

Menteri Alam Sekitar kata Covid-19 ada hikmahnya. Bila wabak ini merebak ke seluruh dunia, semua kereta terhenti (sebab semua orang duduk di rumah). Ini menyebabkan udara dan alam sekitar menjadi bersih. Cisss... mentang-mentang dia menteri alam sekitar, dunia diserang wabak macam ni pun dia duk pikir untuk kepentingan politik dia je, konon prihatin sangatlah dengan kebersihan alam sekitar, phuiii, baru jadi menteri 3 minggu, pejabat pun tak ada lagi. Orang tengah cemas dan berduka, dia boleh sembang bab hikmah dari serangan wabak itu kepada kementerian dia... Bagi Haji Hadi pula mudah je... Apa benda masalah pun, dia mesti kata kena ikut Islam... Nak selesaikan masalah virus covid-19...? Hadi kata ada kaedah penyelesaian cara Islam. Jangan tanya macam mana caranya... Nanti dia jawab apabila penjajah menjajah kita, mereka bukan menjajah tanah air saja, tapi pemikiran umat Islam turut dijajah. Lori ada banyak jenis, ada lori kecik ada lori besar... Ini kita kena sedor kita kena fahang... isyu hudud, itu kena tanya DAP... er, bukan DAP hak ni, ni DAP negeri, kena tanya hok pusat. Ayat 'segala masalah ada cara penyelesaiannya dalam Qur'an', kerana Qur'an itu lengkap samporna, semua perkara ada dalam Qur'an; itu ayat lama sejak tahun 1980an lagi.... Ada sorang ustaz PAS bersyarah atas wakaf dia kabo gitu lah, kebetulan ada situ budak otak tak berapa centre... Bila ustaz kata semua benda ada dalam Qur'an, budak tu tanya : "Ustaz, cara-cara nok wat kheppok lekor ada dok dalam Qur'an..!" Tergagap-gagap ustaz nak jawab.... - Umo Bin Othman

Bukan masalah free tapi ada atau disorok...

Facemask dan Sanitizer ni sebenarnya tak perlu pun Kerajaan bagi percuma..Kita faham..Mungkin Kerajaan hari ini takda kemampuan kewangan.. atau mungkin takda kemampuann berfikir.. Yang penting bekalan itu ada dan harganya tidak melambung.. bukan rakyat tak nak beli, Rakyat pun tak tahu nak beli kat mana..Sebab takda dipasaran.. kalau ada pun org jual online.. harga lebih teruk dari Kapitalis walaupun yang jual tu pak haji.. Aku cadangkan, supaya Kerajaan mengedarkan,atau memasarkan Topeng Muka(facemask) dan Sanitizer melalui premis premis Station Minyak seluruh Negara..Sebab depa sentiasa buka.. Jadikan rangkaian Petronas, Petron, Shell sebagai Hub untuk rakyat dapatkan Facemask dan Sanitizer.. Bila depa isi minyak.. Depa boleh dapatkan facemask dan sanitizer.. Tak perlu bagi percuma..Jual jer di Mart atau Serbaneka di Station2 Minyak..yang penting harga terkawal...cara ini Mudah.. Banyak Premis,farmasi hatta DIY sendiri tutup..dan disuruh tutup.. Selepas itu baru bentuk rakyat untuk jaga kebersihan..jaga jarak sosial(Social distancing)... buat garis panduan dari PBT untuk urus niaga di pasaraya..Mart dan kedai2 Runcit..termasuk pasar pagi.. Yang susah fikir sampai nak kurung rakyat sampai nak guna tentera tu apehal.. Sampai disuruh tutup semua premis dan Kedai pukul 7 malam.. - Ipohmali

Jangan salahkan jemaah tabligh hanya kerana beberapa golongan yang jahil dan jumud...

Amat mendukacitakan nama jemaah Tabligh disebut-sebut sebagai salah satu punca merebak wabak COVID-19. Benar, salah satu punca merebaknya wabak ini adalah kerana "kluster" mereka yang berdegil dan tidak mematuhi arahan keselamatan yang diberikan. Difahamkan telah ramai di antara mereka telah pun hadir melapor diri untuk membuat pemeriksaan. Malangnya, masih ramai juga di kalangan pendakwah ini berdegil atau jumud di dalam pemikiran mereka tentang wabak yang tidak pernah mereka dengar sebelum ini. Ada di antara mereka berdegil hingga ke tahap dipaksa oleh pihak berkuasa untuk menjalani pemeriksaan. Ada yang menggunakan hujah agama untuk mengelakkan diri masing-masing dari mematuhi arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh pihak berkuasa. "Allah berkuasa, hidup mati kita di tangan Allah, mengapa perlu takut kepada wabak ini lebih dari takut kepada Allah? Mengapa kita mesti jauhi Rumah Allah untuk solat berjemaah hanya kerana takut wabak ini?". Itu di antara hujah2 yang biasa kita dengar dari golongan jumud dan jahil ini.

Tidakkah mereka tahu Allah juga mewajibkan kita menjaga keselamatan diri dan keluarga kita dari wabak? Bukan soal kita takut wabak itu lebih dari takut kepada Allah, tetapi kita wajib jauhi wabak itu kerana itu juga perintah Allah. Setiap penyakit itu juga datang dari Allah dan penawarnya juga datang dari Allah serta keizinannya. Maksudnya, wabak itu tidak akan terjadi tanpa izin Allah. Allah menurunkan wabak atau penyakit itu bersebab agar manusia berfikir. Allah juga sediakan penawar setiap penyakit kecuali mati. Cuma, kita saja yang perlu berusaha dan bertawakkal untuk mencari penawarnya. Haram bagi kita mendedahkan diri kita, apatah lagi keluarga kita dari penyakit. Tidak cukup hanya kita berdoa kepada Allah untuk lindungi diri dan keluarga kita dari penyakit atau bala bencana sedangkan kita tidak mahu lari darinya. Itu bukan ajaran Islam. Setelah kita berusaha menghindari wabak ini dengan mematuhi arahan dari pihak berkuasa, barulah boleh kita serahkan diri kita kepada Allah dan memohon perlindungan dariNya. Saya menasihatkan saudara2 jemaah Tabligh agar melihat kepentingan masyarakat Islam dan insan sekeliling lebih utama dari kepentingan jemaah mereka. Buat masyarakat di luar sana, elakkan diri dari mengutuk atau mengecam jemaah Tabligh ini hanya kerana beberapa golongan dari mereka yang mungkin jahil terhadap isu yang melanda sekarang.- Wfauzdin Ns

An Islamic reminder to my Tabligh

brothers in Indonesia and the world...

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to the Tabligh group. I am pleading that they cancel or postpone all gatherings in order for us to deal effectively with the number one enemy of man presently in the world; the COVID-19 virus. I was once part of the Tabligh group in my student days in the USA and had even attended the Detroit Ijtimak or Gathering of 20,000 brothers from around the world in 1985. I remember we slept on corrugated cardboards in a huge warehouse huddled with each other to warm ourselves from the harsh minus 5 degree weather then. We ate from one 'talam' or tray with our fingers and drank from a single cup of tea. We were Islamic Brothers. Our saliva and blood must flow in unison to seal the faith at all time and in all places. We wept together in the night, prayed in congregation and relished in listening to the heart rending Bayan or speeches by the senior Brothers. Some of us were grocers, labourers and some were architects, doctors, lawyers and also former ambassadors seeking peace and enlightenment through a sacrifice of time, money and effort to rejuvenate Islam among the Muslims who had strayed by a non-political partisan approach of 'Gash' or visits to houses and sleeping at mosques. I learned to perform 'khidmat' by cooking, making drinks, serving food and eating at one time nothing but white rice with margarine. It was delicious. Plain white rice with plain water. Eating with your brothers of faith. Praying, joking making friends for life and weeping for our souls. The Tabligh approach does not recognize Mercedes loving politicians or title loving muftis. It is a simple act of faith where a labourer can be a pious leader over mere lawyers, architects or doctors. My lecturer friends who were committed would frequently 'go out' for 40 days on the road travelling, cooking, praying, lecturing, visiting and inviting others to join. Tabligh was a beautiful way of life to be an innocent Muslim unhindered by the constructs of wealth, false dignity and fake piety of notaries and 'educated' clerics. At any one time more than a thousand strong would be at the Sri Petaling Mosque that has become famous as the new epicenter for the COVID-19 outbreak.

When asked to cancel, the organisers quote words of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad in trusting Allah and accepting His will over life and death. This is the license quoted not only by the organisers but by the visitors themselves. Both are wrong and I will personally bear witness against these organisers and visitors and hold them accountable to Allah in the Hereafter.

Allah clearly says in the Qur'an that God will not change the fate of a people unless they change themselves. The Prophet has always advised people to tie their camels and then leave things to faith. In Islam faith is the LAST weapon after human ingenuity, resourcefulness and spirit handle any and all situations. To place faith blindly before actions and planning that can be humanly taken is sheer nonsense and in complete violation of the spirit of Islam. A Malay Ustaz disagreed with the closing of the mosque for congregational prayers and activities citing that Allah and prayers will protect the worshippers.

For my money, if the Tabligh visitors and mosque congregation wants to die from Corvid-19 and 'fly to heaven', they are most welcomed! What I do not want happen is that these 'ignorant warriors of Islam' are willing to expose themselves to the infections and in turn infect their wives, children, fathers and mothers and worse other people's children, parents, daughters and sons. You nak mati you punya pasal-lah! Jangan akibatkan orang lain mati! On the 16th of March last Sunday, my world came crashing down. I received a text message from my friend Jerald who had chaired my panel on Crisis on Education on the 3rd of March that he had tested positive for the COVID-19. It was the longest four days before I paid RM600 to be tested and the result came back negative. For that long four days, the thought of dying was not the worse part because at 58 years old, I had lived a full life. The worse part was the thought that I might have infected my five children and my three precious grandchildren that I had interacted with after the 3rd of March. The thought of infecting my wife of 37 years of marriage who has a sinus and asthma problem almost made me cry at night.

Before 16th of March the COVID-19 issue was not a priority in my life. They were just numbers and seem far away from me. I had planned to cancel all my 7 talks and public appearance and that was going to be my last event. As fate would have it, that event was almost not only my death sentence but the fate of my children, grandchildren, wife, sister, brother and my students and co-workers. I had only shook the moderator's hand and held the microphone. That was all. And it could have been a tragic thing. I did not know nor expected as the warning of a national crisis was not forthcoming. What was coming was the backdoor government initiated by traitor MPs to the rakyat. That traitorous deed was more fearful than the virus. But all of that petty politicking now pales in the light of a new lockdown order. As Allah is my witness, the Tabligh event in Malaysia has now become the epicenter of the outbrake. The Tabligh organizer gave the excuse that there was no government decree. They trusted religious faith than scientific facts. Now, the Indonesian Ijtimak is going to make the same mistake. I accuse the organisers of pure vanity, stubbornness and stupidity in resisting the request to cancel or postpone. Mecca has suspended the Umrah and possibly the Hajj in the future. What else can the organisers base their ludicrous decision on to continue? Finally, in the hereafter when Allah calls these organisers of Tabligh why they continued with the Ijtimak against the plea to cancel, they will answer that it was their faith and love of Allah that made them continue knowing that Allah loves those who glorify Him. I would love to be there when Allah might say that their deed was for vanity of being leaders of a religious movement and for economic benefits and their sins of causing harm to others Muslims or non-Muslims will earn them the fires of Hell. - Professor Dr. Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi

Someone In Muhyiddin Government Is

Making RM18 Million “Every Month”...

As early as January, before Muhyiddin Yassin launched his “Sheraton coup” to topple his own government in order to form Perikatan Nasional backdoor government with corrupt regime UMNO and extreme Islamist party PAS, the then-Pakatan Harapan government had categorized face masks as price control items following the outbreak of the Coronavirus (which was still known as 2019-nCoV). Essentially, 2-layer medical or surgical mask was fixed at RM0.20 each while the retail price for 3-layer of the same mask was selling at RM0.80 each. Traders or retailers found to have breached the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 would face fines up to RM100,000 or maximum 3-years’ jail, or both, or pay a compound of RM50,000. But not many lucky souls managed to get their hands on the precious commodity. Thanks to panic buying of face masks, and even hand sanitisers, people continued with their normal life without the first defence. Get real, washing hands with soap is only sufficient if you stay at home. Once you go out, you’re taking a risk without a mask simply because you constantly breathe. Now, after the total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases breached the 1,000 mark to 1,030 with an additional 130 cases, not to mention a third death, the backdoor government of Muhyiddin Yassin has finally banned the exports of face masks effective March 18. It was quite amazing that the government took weeks before decided to take care of fellow Malaysians. On March 6, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry said the Muhyiddin government “may impose” a temporary ban on the export of face masks to meet local demand. Nothing happened. A week later on March 14, the same ministry said in the event of a serious shortage of face masks, the government “will consider” a face mask export ban. Still, nothing happened. So, the genius in the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry had taken 2 weeks just to think and consider whether an export ban was a good idea, despite the number of Coronavirus cases kept hitting the roof – from 2-digit to 3-digit. Today, Malaysia has the fourth-highest number of Covid-19 infections in Asia – just behind South Korea (8,652), Iran (18,407) and China (80,967). Perhaps the incompetent backdoor government wanted to wait to ensure enough people have died before seriously taking a simple action like securing face masks for the people. But even when the clueless ministry finally announced the export ban, the price of the 3-layer or three-ply face mask will now cost RM2 instead of RM0.80 a pop – a whopping 150% increase. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi claimed that the price of face masks needed to be increased due to higher cost of production materials. He said – “By allowing face masks to be sold at RM2, we hope to encourage local manufacturers to produce more.” He must have forgotten that the Pakatan Harapan had been the government prior.

The Pakatan Harapan coalition, which had since collapsed, exposed that apparently prior to the coup, the previous government had had discussions with local manufacturers to boost the stocks to ensure sufficient supply of masks within the country. In fact, it was revealed that the then-Pakatan Harapan government was prepared to purchase the face mask at RM0.60 a pop. Now in the opposition, the Pakatan Harapan presidential council has claimed that the mask manufacturers “did not” demand for any price increase during discussions with the previous Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry. The manufacturers only asked for help with problems of insufficient workers, additional operation shifts, tax breaks and obtaining raw materials. And those discussions took place before China managed to solve the Coronavirus plaguing the country. Now that the Chinese has won the war against the pathogen, getting the raw materials should not be an issue anymore. In fact, China has excessive products that it has donated 100,000 face masks to Malaysia, scheduled to arrive through an AirAsia flight on Friday (March 20). Heck, China is flush with tons of masks that Alibaba billionaire Jack Ma has donated 1-million masks and 500,000 Coronavirus test kits to the United States, which is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. on Monday morning. In addition, the wealthiest man in China will also send 2-million masks, 150,000 test kits, 20,000 protective suits and 20,000 face shields to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. With Muhyiddin now works hand-in-glove with the corrupt UMNO, will the past hanky-panky practice emerge once again where the hundreds of thousands of donated masks somehow disappear only to appear on the shelves of some retailers, making someone within the government very rich and laugh all the way to the bank? But that was not the main juice. The juiciest part is this – if it was true that the local mask manufacturers could not produce 3-layer masks at RM0.60 a piece, which is not true based on Pakatan Harapan’s revelation, why can’t the government allow imports of the masks without raising the market price to RM2? Yes, some government cronies will be making 150% profit out of every face mask at the expense of the ordinary folks.

Alexander Nanta Linggi - Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister

It was pretty simple to fix the shortage of face masks, if indeed Muhyiddin regime was sincere in helping the people. First, ban all exports of face masks under the pretext of national security. Second, the government will purchase all the masks manufactured locally at RM0.60 a piece as per discussed with the previous government. Third, allow imports of face masks to ensure sufficient supply and low price. After all, it was only in February (before Muhyiddin’s coup to create the present backdoor government) that the previous Pakatan Harapan government officially announced that the shortage of 3-layer masks would be resolved once local manufacturers start to increase production with an extra 400,000 pieces daily – suggesting that it was still profitable even selling at RM0.60. Hence, how could it be possible that the cost of production materials suddenly increases by a jaw-dropping 150% between February and March, at a time when China (the country has zero new cases domestically for a second consecutive day, mind you) has recovered from the plague and has so many extra masks to give away? The answer is quite obvious. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry admitted back in March 6 that thanks to the outbreak, the demand for 3-layer masks has skyrocketed to 15-million pieces every month. If the government were to buy at RM0.60 (as per earlier discussion between Pakatan Harapan and manufacturers) and resell at RM0.80 a pop, the profit will be only RM1.5 million based on 50:50 profit sharing with retailers. Of course, if the previous government decided not to make any profit, the retailers will enjoy the entire RM3 million profits based on RM0.20 profit margin. However, now that Muhyiddin government decided to raise the market price to RM2 per piece, suddenly the profit will be RM18 million – every month. Even if retailers are allowed to make RM0.20 a pop, the government cronies will walk away with RM15 million. Now, do you understand why the ministry announced that besides an increase of price from RM0.80 to RM2 for a piece of face mask, the government has also decided to allow imports of the masks? By doing so, the actual price could be even lower than RM0.60 due to competition. An additional RM0.10 of lower cost will translate to a cool extra RM1.5 million easy money without lifting a finger – every month. Indeed, it’s not an exaggeration to suggest that Muhyiddin’s backdoor government is a bloodsucking regime who would not blink twice at profiting from the people even in times of Coronavirus pandemic. To prove its innocence, the government must therefore debunk the revelation that the manufacturers had agreed to sell face mask at RM0.60 a piece to the Pakatan Harapan government. - FT

Campo, the Last Ancestral Land in Pila

Campo is the only ancestral family land and estate from Don Felizardo de Rivera, the founder of Pila, that is still in the possession of his direct descendants. It was also once the residence of Cora's father, former Pila Judge Ramiro Relova.

Campo Photos

Campo's Military History:

Historical Images

Campo was once called "The Most Beautiful (Army) Camp in Laguna" from 1951-1957". In 1951, after the liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese and during the American Occupation, the USAFFE (United States Army Forces in the Far East) built an army camp on the 5-acre ancestral land of Doña Corazon Rivera, daughter of Don Felizardo Rivera, Pila's Founder. They named it Camp Nazareth. It was in the middle of a coconut plantation, surrounded by rice fields and lush green vegetation with an amazing view of the sunrise and sunset. At the camp, the army also built a tennis court and a natural stone swimming pool (later replaced with tiles).

Camp Nazareth was occupied by the 3rd Battalion Combat Team (BCT). The 3rd BCT was an elite force, a special forces unit for Counter-Guerilla Operations. The guerillas they were sent to "dismantle" were the "Huks", short for Hukbalahap (Hukbong Bayan laban sa Hapon), a group originally formed to fight against the Japanese forces during World War 2, but who were now against the American occupation.

The BCT occupied Camp Nazareth from 1951, and left in 1957.

In the 1960s, Doña Corazon gave the land to her granddaughter, Cora Relova (Founder of the Pila Historical Society Foundation). Camp Nazareth was renamed "Campo", and Cora had a house built on the property, designed by Ariston Nakpil, an architect and son of the first Miss Philippines, Anita Noble.

Campo is now the private ancestral home of Cora and her children, Valerie Price (who now owns and maintains the Corazon Rivera ancestral house in Pila), Michael Price, and her eldest, “Dayang” Lia Price, who runs the Ancient Pila Project online museum. They are the direct descendants of Datu Maguinto and Don Felizardo Rivera.

ERIK MATTI’S ACTION-THRILLER FILM “ON THE JOB” IS A GAME CHANGER IN THE LOCAL FILM INDUSTRY AND HERE’S WHY

written by Josh Tan

For more than decades now, box office revenues can prove that the local audience has been supporting rom-com and drama films more compared to action and thriller films. Nonetheless, there are still numerous Filipino directors who continuously give the genre a light in the industry and one great example is Erik Matti.

From “BuyBust” to “Honor Thy Father”, it can be considered that the role of Matti in the local film industry shows a massive relevance on how the country can relay a story to the world that truly signifies the hardships and oppressions experienced in the Philippines without overshadowing the voices of every Filipino citizen with a story to tell.

Personally, I have only watched a few of his works such as “Seklusyon”, “BuyBust”, The Aswang Chronicles Film Series, “Honor Thy Father”, and “On The Job”. All these films can strongly show Matti’s passion and creativity but the one that stood out for me is his 2013 film “On The Job”. As a viewer and a fan of authentic films, I can say that this is his best work yet and prestigious award-giving bodies such as FAMAS and Gawad Urian can agree to this.

The film stars Piolo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, Joey Marquez, and Joel Torre, with supporting characters played by Angel Aquino and Michael de Mesa. It centers on two prisoners, Mario Maghari (Joel Torre) and Daniel (Gerald Anderson), who are being hired to secretly go in and out of prison for missions involving contract killings in exchange for a great amount of money. After a chain of events, this catches the attention of cop Sergeant Joaquin Acosta (Joey Marquez) and NBI agent Francis Coronel Jr. (Piolo Pascual), which later on progresses to a major scandal that will change their lives forever.

With the direction and screenplay by Erik Matti, additional writing by Michiko Yamamoto, musical scoring by Erwin Romulo, editing by Jay Halili, and cinematography by Francis Ricardo Buhay III, the huge ensemble gained numerous recognitions (Best Sound, Best Actor - Joel Torre) and nominations from Gawad Urian (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, etc.), with a few more trophies from FAMAS (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Story, and Best Sound).

As cliche as it sounds, “On The Job” is deserving of all these appreciation and here are the reasons why.

THE STORY HAD ONE JOB AND IT DELIVERED PERFECTLY!

One primary asset of the film’s narrative is its transparency and consistency in displaying the purpose and standpoint of every character as the story unfolded from one scene to another. It has an alluring way of showing how violence is depicted in reality and the role of these two concepts in a Philippine setting. The dividing line between those who are powerful and those who are powerless in the society can also be witnessed by the demonstration of how people in higher positions can get away with anything while those who are under them are left with no choice but to become desperate for survival. In a political aspect, Matti carefully showcased the dark side of the authority and the mentality of debt between families that leads to the continuous reinforcement of an already corrupt system. The technique used in its storytelling allows the audience to be part of a walkthrough inside a reality that has always been hidden from the public.

The parallelism between the “mentor-student” bond of Mario and Daniel to the “father-son” relationship of Francis and Cong. Manrique (Michael de Mesa) also shows how far can one go to fight for what is right while the other settles for what is wrong. It is a great representation of how the choices given to us are merely limited to and based on our privileges. Every twists and turns behind these characters, especially those with lives are at stake, explain why the film is not really about the lead protagonist and antagonist and it is all primarily about the job.

TORRE AND AQUINO CERTAINLY KNOW THEIR JOB

The film is jam-packed with award-winning actors who have already proven their skills in acting. From a Filipino A-lister, Piolo Pascual, giving the audience enough amount of intensity to a rom-com star, Gerald Anderson, accepting a role far from his comfort zone, there is no words to describe how well-made the casting was for this film. With an ensemble like this, it is sometimes hard to compare the portrayal of one actor to another. However, with the moving performances from Joel Torre and Angel Aquino, it wasn’t really hard for me at all.

Joel Torre is mostly seen in films only as a father of the lead protagonist or someone in a supporting role with not much of an exposure. Truth be told, he is an underrated actor despite of his undeniable talent and his performance in “On The Job” is an evidence. He was able to portray Mario with so much depth and he did not need to shed a tear for that. Another skill that Torre has and is mostly unnoticeable in most lead stars is conviction. He knows the right tone to deliver a line and the right emotion to express the character’s thoughts. This explains why his performance in the Erik Matti action film gave him his third Gawad Urian acting award following his performances in “Bayaning 3rd World” and “Batang West Side”.

Although slept on by the award-giving bodies, Angel Aquino, who plays the role of Lulette, also shined the brightest in the film. With her limited time exposure as the wife of Mario (Torre), Aquino was able to introduce a way to deliver both light and heavy emotions depending on the scene. No wonder, she is one of the most versatile actresses in the industry because she can do any genre and still make the audience ask for more. In a particular scene towards the end of the film, one can see how she was able to carry all the emotions inside her character from start to end with just a very short (yet intense) dialogue.

THE JOB OF MUSIC

For action films, one important factor is how the music balances with scenes involving stunts and fast-paced movements. Well, with Erwin Romulo, also the scorer of “BuyBust”, he definitely knows how to build up the emotions of the audience without outweighing the sequences so the attention is still focused on the plot. One particular scene that proves this is the part wherein Francis and Acosta were chasing after Daniel and Mario in the dark streets of Manila on a rainy night. The tension between the characters as the camera moved from one angle to another was even more emphasized through the fast-beating sound heard in the background with short pauses where only the gasping breath of the actors are heard. In short, Romulo was also able to tell a story through the film’s sound editing which added more to the beauty of its narrative.

Erik Matti’s work in “On The Job” is a proof that a film does not need to be a highest grossing motion picture for it to leave a mark. When it is done with honesty and a sincere purpose, it can be one of the most critically-acclaimed films of all time. With the amount of passion that Matti shows in the film industry, he should be recognized not just as a director, but also a storyteller. A legend that is a game changer - one who always makes an impact.

Can’t wait for On The Job 2!

Kamatayang Bayani

Ayon sa mitolohiyang Pilipino, mayroong tatlong magkakapatid na diyos na namamahala sa pagkabuhay at kamatayan ng isang tao. Isa ang namamahala sa kapanganakan, at ang isa nama'y sinisiguradong nabuhay ang sanggol. Ang pangatlo, si Patag'aes, ay kinakausap ang bagong silang na sanggol upang alamin kung gaano ito katagal nais mabuhay at kung paano ito nais mamatay. Mahalagang palihim ang pag-uusap na ito, dahil kung mayroong makaririnig, si Patag'aes mismo ang papatay sa sanggol.

------------------

“Naisilang na muli ang kaluluwa,” wika ni Mangganghaw, kasabay ang pagdilat ng kanyang mga mata nang makabalik na siya mula sa mundo ng mga tao. Kumikislap ang kanyang mga mata. Tinanggal niya ang kanyang mga kamay mula sa sansinukob na lumulutang sa harapan niya, sa gitna ng tatlong magkakapatid.

Sa unang tingin, tila isang malaking bilog ng kadiliman ang sansinukob. Ngunit sa pag-ikot nito makikita ang mga nagniningning na mga bituin, mga araw at buwan ng iba’t ibang mundo at planetang bumubuo sa sansinukob. Parang mga kumikinang na hiyas ang mga nilikhang ito, hiyas na nakalatag sa isang pelus na lalagyan. “At buháy ang bata,” tugon naman ni Manlaegas. Tinanggal din niya ang kanyang mga kamay pagkadilat ng kanyang kumikislap na mga mata. Nagpatuloy muli ang pag-ikot ng sansinukob. Tumango lamang si Patag’aes. Tinitigan siya ng mga kapatid niya.

“Patag’aes?” usisa ni Mangganghaw. “Ikaw na ang susunod. Naghihintay ang kaluluwa ng sanggol.”

Tumango muli si Patag’aes. Napabuntong-hininga. Nagtatanong ang mga kumikislap na mata ng kanyang mga kapatid. “Kilala ko na ang kaluluwang ito,” sabi ni Patag’aes. “Tila alam ko na ang kanyang hihilingin.”

Inilublob ni Patag’aes ang kanyang mga kamay sa sansinukob. Hinanap niya ang mundong ginawa ni Bathala, ang mundo ng mga tao, sa gitna ng mga bituin at araw at buwan. Dahan-dahan niya itong hinawakan sa kanyang mga palad. Pinikit niya ang kanyang mga kumikislap na mata, at pumasok sa loob ng mga tao.

------------------

Pagdilat ni Patag'aes ng kanyang mga mata, matinding ilaw ang una niyang nakita.

Maraming tao sa loob ng delivery room. Umiiyak sa tuwa ang ama, at tumatawa ang mga doktor at nars na nakapaligid sa ina dahil sa napakalakas na pag-iyak ng sanggol. Sa gitna ng lahat ng mga tao, nakahiga ang inang yakap-yakap ang kanyang anak. Malakas ang iyak ng bata, sinasalubong ang mundong humihiyaw. Nilapitan ni Patag'aes ang bata. Itinapat niya ang kanyang hinlalaki sa gitna ng noo ng bata at itinapat naman ang kanyang hintuturo sa kaliwang pisngi ng bata. Idiniin niya ang kanyang mga daliri, at nanahimik ang kapaligiran. Tumigil ang takbo ng oras, ang takbo ng sansinukob. Tumigil ang lahat, maliban na lamang sa sanggol at sa diyos na makikipag-usap sa kanya.

Nanlaki ang mata ng sanggol, at kumislap.

"Ah, Patag'aes. Mabuhay!" wika ng kaluluwang nagmula sa sanggol.

"Mabuhay muli." sagot ni Patag'aes.

Tumawa ang kaluluwa. "Ah, oo. Mabuhay muli."

"Alam mo na ang itatanong ko," wika ni Patag'aes. "Ngunit tatanungin ko pa rin. Kaluluwa, ano ang haba ng iyong buhay ngayon? Paano ka mamamatay?"

"At alam mo pa rin ang magiging sagot ko," tugon ng kaluluwa. "Wala akong pakialam sa haba ng buhay. Basta't mamamatay ako para sa bayan. Para makapaghatid ng pagbabago sa bayan."

Napabuntong-hininga si Patag'aes. "Hindi ko iyan matitiyak, Kaluluwa. Alam mo rin iyan."

Magiliw ang sagot ng kaluluwa. "Oo, alam ko, panginoong Patag'aes. Ngunit hindi magbabago ang aking kalooban. Hangga't makatutulong ang kamatayan ko sa bayan, hahangarin at hahangarin ko iyon."

Tila nagagalit na si Patag'aes. Kumukunot ang kanyang ulo, at kontrolado ang kanyang paghinga. "Alam mo, pero hindi mo pa rin nauunawaan. Hindi ko matitiyak sa iyong makatutulong ang isang kamatayan upang baguhin ang iyong bayan o ang sangkatauhan. Nasubukan na natin iyan. Mahirap ang pagbabago." Isa pang buntong-hininga. "Nasa nabubuhay ang desisyong iyan. At hindi ko trabaho ang buhay ng nabubuhay. Trabaho ko ang kamatayan ng mamamatay."

"Nauunawaan ko, Patag'aes," at ngumiti ang kaluluwa. "At nagpapasalamat akong bagamat iyan ang paniniwala mo, patuloy mo pa rin akong pinagbibigyan sa kahilingang ito."

"Darating din ang buhay na hindi na kita pagbibigyan," tugon ni Patag'aes. "Ngunit kung iyan ang nais mo, wala akong magagawa. Tumutupad lamang ako sa usapan."

"Salamat, Patag'aes."

"Paalam. Hanggang sa susunod nating pagkikita."

At tinanggal ni Patag'aes ang kanyang kamay mula sa mukha ng sanggol. Kumislap ang mata ng sanggol. Pinikit niya ang kanyang mga mata, at nagsimulang umiyak muli. Kasabay ng pag-iyak ay ang pagsimula muli ng takbo ng oras, ng takbo ng sansinukob, at ng ingay ng mga taong pumapaligid sa bagong-silang na sanggol.

Tumingala si Patag'aes, tinitigan ang matinding ilaw ng ospital. Pinikit niya ang kanyang mga mata. Naramdaman niya ang dahan-dahan niyang pagbalik sa kanyang sariling dimensyon, ang kamay niyang nakalublob sa sansinukob.

Dumilat siya. Kumikislap ang kanyang mga mata. Tiningnan niya ang kanyang mga kapatid. Tinanggal niya ang kanyang mga kamay. Nagtatanong muli ang mga mata ng kanyang mga kapatid, ngunit tumango lamang si Patag'aes. Naghanda sila upang magsimula muli para sa iba pang mga kaluluwang ipinapanganak.

------------------

Iba ang takbo ng panahon para sa mga diyos. Ang ilang taon ay isang kisapmata. Ang isang kislap ay walang hanggan.

"Ano ang pinapanood mo, Patag'aes?" tanong ni Mangganghaw. Lumapit siya sa sansinukob, kung saan nakalublob ang kamay ni Patag'aes. Kumikislap ang mga mata ni Patag'aes.

"Ang kamatayang bayani."

------------------

Sa mundo ng mga tao, isang kaluluwa ang lumaki na sa loob ng labimpitong taon. Lumaki siyang isang lalaking matatag ang loob, isang anak na masunurin at matulungin, isang mag-aaral na masipag at matiyaga.

Isang gabi, ang gabing pinapanood ni Patag'aes, naging biktima ang binatilyo ng isang krimen.

Kinaladkad ang lalaki ng mga pulis na hindi nakadamit-pulis. Dinala siya sa isang marumi at nakatagong eskinita. Binigyan siya ng baril. Sinabihang tumakbo. Pinilit siyang magmakaawa para sa kanyang buhay.

Tatlong bala ang pumatay sa binatilyo. Tatlong bala sa ulo, at naudlot ang kanyang buhay sa labimpitong taon.

------------------

"Hindi ko naiintindihan," wika ni Mangganghaw, pagbalik nilang magkapatid sa mundo nila. "Paano iyon naging kamatayang bayani? Iyan ba ang tunay na hiling ng kaluluwa noong kinausap mo?"

Humingang malalim si Patag'aes. "Nais ng kaluluwa ng isang kamatayang makapagdadala ng pagbabago sa kanyang bayan. Iyon ang kanyang parating hiling. Noong una siyang naging tao, ibinigay ko iyon sa kanya. Firing squad ng mananakop ang pumatay sa kanya noon. Noong ikalawang pagkakataong hiniling niya iyon, pinatay siya ng isang lalaking hindi nila kilala hanggang ngayon, habang pababa siya ng eroplano. Binaril siya sa likod ng kanyang ulo. At ngayon, ito."

"At gumana ba? Nagdala ba ng pagbabago ang mga kamatayan niyang iyon?" tanong ni Mangganghaw.

"Hindi ko alam. Mahirap sabihin. Pero wala na sa akin iyan," sagot ni Patag'aes. "Wala na sa atin. Tulad ng sinabi ko sa kaluluwa noon, nasa nabubuhay na tao na kung pagbabago ang maidudulot ng isang kamatayan."

"Sayang naman ang buhay kung hindi matutupad ang kanyang hiling ng pagbabago," wika ni Mangganghaw.

"Sayang nga," pagsang-ayon ni Patag'aes. Tinitigan niya ang sansinukob sa harapan nila, at inisip ang umiiyak na mga magulang, ang nagdadalamhating mga kapamilya, ang nagigising at nagagalit na bayan ng kaluluwa. Pinikit niya ang kanyang kumikislap na mata, at hiniling kay Bathala na sana'y matupad ang hiling ng kaluluwa sa kanyang kamatayan. "Kaya sana ngayon, hindi masayang ang buhay na iyon."

"Sana," buntong-hininga ni Patag'aes. "Sana."

Kagahapon natapos ang pahirap sa aming mga estudyante - ang mga eksaminasyon sa paaralan. Mahigit isang linggo kong pinaghandaan ang natatanging pangyayari, kaya't ang lalakí ng mga lówat ko't pagod na pagod ang aking pakiramdam. Sabi ko sa aking sarili na pagkatapos ng paghihirap na ito'y bibigyan ko ang sarili ko ng isang bagay na magbibigay kaginhawaan sa aking pagod. Napagdesisyunan kong manood ng isang Pilipinong pelikula. Narinig ko ang "Bayaning 3rd World" sa klase namin habang tinatalakay ng aming guro sa Sining ang mga Pilipinong direktor. Ilang linggo lang ang nakalipas, nakita ko naman sa isang Tumblr Post na isa sa magagandang pelikula tungkol sa kasaysayan ang pelikulang ito. Kaya ito ang napili kong panoorin. Hindi ako isang magiting na manunuri ng pelikula kaya't hindi ako magkukunwari na marunong ako magsuri ng pelikula. Sa aking palagay, maganda ang pagkakagawa ni Mike de Leon sa pelikulang ito dahil nagmistula itong dokumentaryo ng dalawang filmmaker na nais gumawa ng isang pelikula tungkol sa bayani ng Pilipinas. Lumabas ang mga tanong at mga pagdududa habang nananaliksik ang dalawa hangga't sa nagtalo sila tungkol sa katotohanan. Sa huli, naghari pa rin ang mga katanungang walang kasagutan kaysa sa katotohanan at kasagutan na nais malaman ng mga filmmaker na ito tungkol sa kasaysayan at buhay ng ating bayani. Para sa akin, itong pelikulang ito'y napakaganda. Pinapakita rito ang mga bagay na hindi sinasabi ng mga aklat ng kasaysayan na makikita sa paaralan at nais ipakita ng pelikula ang kahinaan at katotohanan ng ating bayani. Walang lihim ang hindi naisiwalat, lahat ay tinignan. Sabihin mang ang ibang pangyayari'y isang chismis sa kasaysayan, dapat pa ring tignan ito at alamin dahil may posibilidad na totoo ang mga chismis na ito - tulad na lamang ng mga chismis na lumabas tungkol kay Bracken matapos ang kamatayan ni Rizal. Labis kong nagustuhan ang pelikulang ito dahil unang-una, ang mga bagay na likha patungkol sa kasaysayan ay nagbibigay saya sa akin. Pangalawa, maraming kaalaman na naman ang aking natutunan. Kailangan sa buhay ay matuto tayo at mag-aral, dahil ang karunungan ay isang armas patungo sa tagumpay. Kung kayo'y may panahon, panoorin niyo itong pelikula ni de Leon. Hindi kayo magsisisi.

Bayaning 3rd World

Viewpoint: Bayaning 3rd World What is a hero? It is defined as somebody who usually executes the definition of what is considered good and noble in the originating culture. Typically the readiness to forfeit the self for the greater good is seen as the most important defining quality of a hero. The movie (shot entirely in black and white) is about the various little controversies surrounding particular facts about Jose Rizal's life. By looking into what really happened before he was executed, the film deconstructed Rizal's image as a hero. It essentially asked the validity of Rizal's heroism throughout the movie. What emerges near the end of the film as primary source of bewilderment is whether Rizal retracted the night before he was executed - that is, officially went back to the Roman Catholic Church. Not only had he persistently castigated the abuses of the Church's faithful servants in his personal as well as public writings, he had actually become a Freemason. Essentially because of this, the whole purpose of the film is to ask its audience: Is Rizal really a hero? Or is Rizal worthy to be a hero? There really are numerous insights and opinions that came across into my mind. If Rizal did retract, does it actually indispensable to have a manuscript or supporting data that says he really drew back into Catholic faith? I consider that it is also probable that Rizal retracted, but he just did it only for himself, without notifying anybody. Besides there is no evidence on the issue that Josephine Bracken and Rizal got married. On the other hand, it is apparent that Rizal got back into Catholic Faith if he obtained a sacrament of matrimony with Bracken. There are some degrees of ambivalence which made me feel discombobulated as a student having this analysis. But my mind dictates that Rizal still stand firm on what his heart tells him. By that time in his 30’s, it is indisputable that he already is matured enough for self-realization and is experienced adequately to be cognizant about what’s happening in that milieu. And that his love for his motherland still prevailed. Pepe being a great Malayan, the first Filipino Indio bravo, being superb intelligent is very much determined to fight for his country. Moreover, let me inject to you some of the thoughts and my comments that I have acquired from the film. It is said, and I have the same opinion, that if Rizal (being considered a convicted political criminal) retracted, then why would the Spanish government still put him into execution (by firing squad)? Since in Rizal’s time, the church was the government, and the government was the church. “I retract with all my heart whatever in my words, writings, publications and conduct has been contrary to my character as son of the Catholic Church. I believe and I confess whatever she teaches and I submit to whatever she demands.” The above was a part of the said “manuscript” Rizal did before the day of his death. I personally do not consider this, given that none of the documents from the archives that were presented, however, have been convincingly authenticated, let alone proven, as having been penned by Rizal himself. The belief that Rizal is a hero is rooted on the very description of hero we said above: somebody who usually fulfills the definitions of what is considered good and noble in the originating culture. The film started with a clean state of mind without prejudices. As an effect, it tremble the center of the idea of Rizal's heroism. At the end, it does not only answer if Rizal is really a hero. It also let its audience see the value of Rizal's life in our history either as an icon or merely as the face stamped in a one-peso coin. If genre is to be talked about, anyone would just be disconcerted. This film is humorous but it could not be classified as a comedy. This film is informative but it could not be classified as a documentary. Maybe a drama! Moreover, the movie also has hilarious and comical opinions that somehow made the viewers interested. Even if the film is made in the present time, the viewer can really feel the era because of the archival historic footages, and stylized re-creation of past events. Lastly, it is a movie not intended for the masses, but for the benefit of the educated ones. The film also provided a slight enlightenment to the confused minds of the youth.
