Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

#long post #miss billboard tourney #i wasn't originally going to list them all but i decided to do so because there are so many without propaganda

Leonora

by Sugarcane

youtube

New translation! This time I just felt like translating and talking about this song because I genuinely love talking about the little nuances here. It's one of the more recent videos that really pulled me back into OPM. I explain a lot of the nuances and the historical background below + some personal stories related to it too.

Leonora

This serenade I'm offering, for the maiden with unparalleled beauty, with the scent of roses If tricky fate would wish it I won't let it disappear

This letter I'm hoping your eyes would read I'm ready to do everything, I'll even court your family I've only now felt such eternal awe All I wish for is

The two of us be together at the end and at the beginning Proving that first love does last

How many poems has it been, why is it getting unnoticed? My only wish, at the end you'll be with me If it's possible, until the end of time I will never let you go forever

Our sweet past relationship, where'd it go? (I keep looking for you, whoa) How come between us, I'm the only one left? (I wish I could still see you) Your beautiful voice, would I still hear it? Ready to go through life[1] even if you're not here anymore

Wherever you are, may you be happy now (let you go free, whoa) Even if we won't be together anymore (I still love you) Just please listen to my wish that you would take care Oh, Leonora my love, ah

Alternative Translations and Additional Context

Ready to go through - this is just the literal translation of the line but contextually it's closer to the lyric I used or something close to "Ready to go through everything".

The song is based on the real-life historical figure Leonor Rivera-Kipping, one of the many lovers of the Philippine National hero José Rizal. The two were childhood sweethearts, however, due to Rizal traveling to Europe to study and Leonor's mother Silvestra Bauzon not liking how political he was while favoring an Englishman named Henry Charles Kipping so Silvestra and Kipping kept the letters that Rizal sent to Leonor. This made her think that she was abandoned and later on married Kipping instead (Quirino, 2015).

On the night of her wedding, she found the letters and in her frustration tore them apart sewing some of them on the hem of her wedding dress and burnt the others. After her marriage to Kipping, she vowed to never play the piano again. She died at 26 in childbirth alongside her newborn daughter, after which Kipping abandoned their only living son and traveled back to England just to die three years later, no mention of Leonor ever being his wife (Quirino, 2015).

Her final wish before her death was to be buried with the silver box that contained the ashes of Rizal's letters (Martinez-Clemente, 2011). Sadly, her grave was a casualty during the war and her remains and her grave site has been lost forever (Quirino, 2015).

Leonor serves as the inspiration for the character of Maria Clara in Rizal's acclaimed novels that Filipinos are mandated to learn at school Noli Me Tangere and its sequel El Filibusterismo. Maria Clara is the female love interest of the series protagonist Crisostomo Ibarra and the two have a severely tragic love story due to the politics surrounding Ibarra and both of their relationships.

From my understanding of the books, Leonor may also have been the inspiration for the El Filibusterismo character Paulita Gomez who abandons her relationship with her lover, one of the leading characters named Isagani, after he was accused of being an insurrectionist despite being innocent. At the end of the story, Paulita marries someone else and Isagani watches the reception from outside her house.

Random Trivia

The place this music video was shot is actually a historical house of another one of Rizal's many lovers Segunda Katigbak! The place is called Casa Segunda and is located in Lipa City, Batangas. My classmates and I visited the place and rented it out for a project a couple of years back.

Another fun fact is that the group most likely didn't actually play the piano in the house because they weren't allowed to considering how old it is. It's an antique and it was already falling apart when we went there way before this video was probably shot. That's the reason for them keeping the camera away from the keys.

They're also not allowed to sit on the antique seat in front of the piano because of how fragile it was and it already was falling apart too when we went there. We ignored this for one of our shoots and did it quickly before anyone could notice, but they may have just positioned the camera so they don't have to show them sitting down on the chair.

We found a random kitten in the house? I don't know what happened to it. It wasn't outside either, it was like inside one of the bedrooms. I don't know if the staff or family owned it but it did look like a stray.

Some of my classmates still hasn't paid me back for the rent we were supposed to split. It isn't a fun fact, I'm just a little salty.

Original Lyrics

'Tong alay kong harana, para sa dalagang Walang kasingganda, amoy-rosas ang halimuyak Kung nanaisin ng tadhanang mapanlinlang 'Di hahayaang mawala pa

'Tong liham na umaasang mata mo ang makabasa Handang gawin lahat, maging pamilya'y liligawan Ngayon lang nakadama ng wagas na pagkamangha Hiling ko lang naman na

Tayo na sanang dalawa ang siyang huli at ang umpisa Papatunayang ang unang pag-ibig ay 'di mawawala

Nakailang tula na, ba't tila 'di napupuna? Ang tangi kong hiling, hanggang dulo ikaw ang kapiling Kung puwede lang, hanggang pangmagpakailanman Hinding-hindi na papakawalan kailanman

Ang dating tamis ng pagsasama, nasa'n na? (Hinahanap-hanap ka, whoa) Ba't sa 'ting dal'wa, ako na lang ang natira? (Sana'y magkita pa) Tinig mong kay ganda, maririnig pa ba? Handang tahaking mag-isa kahit wala ka na

Kung nasa'n ka man, nawa ay masaya ka na (palalayain ka, whoa) Kahit na 'di na tayo magsasama pa (mahal pa rin kita) Dinggin mo lang ang hiling na mag-iingat ka Oh, Leonora kong sinta, ah

Marx y el lumpenproletariado

Por Joakim Andersen

Traducción de Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera

Es una tradición del 1 de mayo escribir un texto sobre el movimiento obrero y el socialismo que a menudo esté relacionado con Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels. El texto de este año tratará de las opiniones de estos dos caballeros barbudos sobre el llamado lumpenproletariado. En los primeros tiempos del movimiento obrero hubo un fuerte debate sobre el potencial revolucionario de esta clase social. El anarquista Bakunin se refirió a ellos como «la flor del proletariado», «la chusma que casi no había sido tocada por la civilización burguesa», y consideraba que su potencial revolucionario era gigantesco. Detrás de semejante valoración por parte de Bakunin se intuyen elementos de su propia psicología y personalidad, además de algunos aspectos que reaparecieron de forma trivializada en relación con la izquierda de 1968.

Frente a Bakunin, uno se siente tentado a añadir la figura de Karl Marx, a quien Bakunin describió como lo peor de ambos mundos, es decir, como judío y alemán. Aquí había un elemento de confusión conceptual, ya que Bakunin y Marx parecen haber estado hablando de grupos sociales diferentes cuando se referían al lumpenproletariado. En cualquier caso, para Marx el lumpenproletariado no era en absoluto una flor, sino una masa de desechos morales y socialmente degenerados. En su habitual lenguaje gótico, Marx dice en el Dieciocho Brumario de Luis Bonaparte que el lumpemproletariado estaba compuesto por «junto a roués arruinados, con equívocos medios de vida y de equívoca procedencia, junto a vástagos degenerados y aventureros de la burguesía, vagabundos, licenciados de tropa, licenciados de presidio, huidos de galeras, timadores, saltimbanquis, lazzaroni, carteristas y rateros, jugadores, alcahuetes, dueños de burdeles, mozos de cuerda, escritorzuelos, organilleros, traperos, afiladores, caldereros, mendigos, en una palabra, toda es masa informe, difusa y errante que los franceses llaman la bohème».En este contexto, es interesante señalar la afinidad social y mental esbozada por Marx entre los “canallas” del lumpenproletariado y los “canallas” que Napoleón III y los capitalistas financieros, los parásitos, suelen tener los unos por los otros. Esto también debería ser relevante a la hora de analizar las clases medias altas y bajas del «Transferiat» y la alianza entre «brahmanes, helotas y dalits».

La definición de Marx del lumpenproletariado varía según el texto. A veces se refería a los restos de las clases precapitalistas, a veces a las clases moralmente inferiores de «criminales, vagabundos y prostitutas», a veces era un término colectivo para grupos fundamentalmente muy diferentes. Paradójicamente, compartía la opinión de la burguesía de que el lumpenproletariado era una clase peligrosa, classes dangereuses. Esto tiene que ver, en parte, con su antropología y la atención que en ella se presta a la capacidad de lucha disciplinada. También tiene que ver con sus ideas sobre la realidad material del lumpenproletariado, sus «condiciones de vida». Estaban acostumbrados a que las autoridades se ocuparan de ellos de una forma u otra. Por lo tanto, el lumpenproletariado podía a veces dejarse arrastrar por un movimiento revolucionario, pero también podía dejarse comprar por la reacción. También hay que mencionar aquí el conflicto latente entre la clase obrera y los numerosos desarrapados que la parasitaban de facto (véase la categoría de bandidos asociales de Hobsbawm).

Engels también trazó una clara línea divisoria entre la clase obrera y el lumpenproletariado y advirtió en contra de las alianzas con estos últimos. De hecho, escribió de una forma menos políticamente correcta que Marx que «el lumpemproletariado, esa escoria integrada por los elementos desmoralizados de todas las capas sociales y concentrada principalmente en las grandes ciudades, es el peor de los aliados posibles. Ese desecho es absolutamente venal y de lo más molesto. Cuando los obreros franceses escribían en los muros de las casas durante cada una de las revoluciones: «Mort aux voleurs!» ¡Muerte a los ladrones!, y en efecto fusilaban a más de uno, no lo hacían en un arrebato de entusiasmo por la propiedad, sino plenamente conscientes de que ante todo era preciso desembarazarse de esta banda».

Las advertencias de Marx y Engels fueron tomadas en serio durante mucho tiempo por el movimiento obrero, que a menudo llegó a esterilizarse antes que aliarse con el lumpenproletariado. Sin embargo, en relación con las tendencias de 1968, puede reconocerse un cambio, aunque la fascinación por los «elementos en descomposición» de diversa índole puede remontarse al menos a las vanguardias del periodo de entreguerras. Un exponente de la nueva visión del lumpenproletariado fue Herbert Marcuse y también Frantz Fanon (aunque la definición de este último del lumpenproletariado es más parecida a la de Bakunin).

Fanon es menos interesante aquí que Marcuse y la nueva izquierda con la que se le asocia; ya que la nueva izquierda esta compuesta por estratos que no son ellos mismos trabajadores y que no pueden distinguir entre «pobres» y «clase obrera». También se puede reconocer una tendencia a asociar los propios estratos psicológicos primitivos con estratos sociales supuestamente primitivos, sobre todo en el contexto de 1968. Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, también hubo enfoques menos patológicos; Debord y Becker-Ho, por ejemplo, identificaron la vida precapitalista y los ideales guerreros con el «argot» (jerga).

Lo que prevaleció, sin embargo, era que las clases y los individuos con una psique desequilibrada idealizaban las clases sociales a las que atribuían esperanzas poco realistas. En nuestra época, esto se ha convertido en algo diferente del ingenuo «liberad a los presos, son como nosotros» de los años 70, porque ahora se ha añadido una dimensión étnica. La anémica burguesía romantiza y proyecta sus propios impulsos no sólo sobre pequeños grupos de vagabundos y «ladrones» locales, sino también sobre importantes sectores de las poblaciones que no tienen ascendencia europea. El lumpenproletariado de Marx se solapa hoy en gran medida con sus fuidhirs.

Podemos ver que la «izquierda» establecida le ha dado la vuelta a Marx. Se trata de clases medias, incluidos los burócratas, que rara vez son ellos mismos clase trabajadora y, por lo tanto, no pueden reconocer la diferencia entre «pobres» y «clase trabajadora». Al mismo tiempo, son las clases medias las que se encuentran en conflicto con la clase obrera nativa en el sentido más amplio, por lo que resulta tentador aliarse con sus otros rivales, tanto simbólicos como reales. Las tendencias psíquicas infantiles y primitivas que podemos reconocer en Marcuse siguen prevaleciendo en estas clases medias, lo que significa que se proyectan fácilmente sobre las clases etnosociales. En definitiva, se trata de un potente cóctel que, por un lado, baraja las cartas y defiende a los estratos del lumpenproletariado como «clase obrera» y, por el otro, silencia o legitima los comportamientos lumpenproletarios. Al mismo tiempo, la subclase indígena y sus problemas son invisibilizados; no encajan en las nuevas narrativas.

Para concluir, señalaremos que el término «lumpenproletariado» es en realidad un concepto del siglo XIX. Puede haber sido útil para captar las tendencias y los escollos del joven movimiento obrero, pero hoy la situación es muy diferente. Sin olvidar la «reacción» a la que Marx y Engels temían que se vendieran los lazzarones en lugar de defender violentamente el papado, la subclase etnificada de hoy cambia ciudadanías por votos con la socialdemocracia. El factor étnico, que aparece en Marx en diversos contextos como elemento primordial en relación con la clase, significa también que estamos ante un nuevo fenómeno. En cualquier caso, quienes lo deseen pueden recurrir a Marx y Engels para contrarrestar los recurrentes intentos de equiparar a la «clase obrera» con elementos puramente lumpenproletarios. Su perspectiva sigue siendo un punto de partida fructífero para comprender la relación entre la subclase etnificada y ciertas clases medias. Un complemento útil es la distinción que hace Evola entre dos tendencias antiburguesas. Una aspira a ser algo superior a lo burgués, la otra a ser algo inferior.

Edsel B. Ford

Artist: Diego M. Rivera (Mexican, 1886-1957)

Date: 1932

Medium: Oil on canvas mounted on masonite

Collection: Detroit Institute of arts, Detroit, Michigan, United States

About the Artwork

In October 1932, Diego Rivera requested from the Ford Motor Company a photo showing Edsel Ford from the left side to help paint his portrait. The artist depicts Ford — the only child of Henry and Clara Ford — as a working designer. A compass, French curve, and pencil are arrayed on the drafting table in front of him, while a full-size sketch of a 1933 coupe hangs on the studio wall in the background.

Edsel Ford served as president of the Ford Motor Company from 1919 to 1943 and underwrote Rivera’s fee for the Detroit Industry Murals (in which he also appears, on the south wall). Rivera completed this modern portrait while he was in Detroit to paint the murals. By showing Edsel as a confident and fashionable modern designer, Rivera helped craft a public profile for a man often overshadowed by the outsized presence and complicated legacy of his father.

State Championship (TWD Fanfiction Part 12)

State Championship Part 12

(A TWD Fan Fiction)

I do not own any of the rights to The Walking Dead, nor do I own any of the characters mentioned from here on in, other than Victoria Hawkins. Some situations have been changed and some people may have been switched in this alternate universe.

All characters in the fanfiction are over the age of 21 years old.

Coach Negan Smith X Female OC

Word Count: 1801

~*~

Part 12

Victoria found herself sitting in the middle of her psychology seminar staring blankly at the teacher while tapping her pencil on her notebook. Her mind kept rolling back to what happened a few months ago. The heartbreak with Negan, moving back home and then watching her brother get deployed to the military. She sighed as she doodled on the side of her notebook. Life had taken one hell of a spiral and she was just so over it all.

She had adjusted to her new life fairly easily, it was a simple routine to get used to. The school offered much of what she wanted to do for college, but she avoided sports like the plague since the fiasco with Negan. They begged her to join the teams at her new school and she kept declining it.

As she continued to doodle she felt her phone vibrate and then at once a deafening sound emitted from the cell phones in the room. It was a nationwide alarm, notifying everyone with a cell phone. Yanking her phone from her pocket she looked down at the message.

“Breaking news! The following message has been issued by the CDC. There has been an outbreak of a highly contagious disease. Stay indoors and avoid contact with others as much as possible. This is sent through the station’s emergency alert system.”

Victoria’s eyes went wide as she read the message. Hearing the teacher turn on the tv in the classroom her eyes slowly rose to the screen.

The screen flickered to life as a woman sat in a newsroom for channel 13. “I’m Clara Rivera with channel 13 news with this breaking story. The CDC has released a message to the public regarding a viral outbreak of a deadly and very contagious disease.” She brought her hand up to her headset for a moment as a horrified look crossed her face. “We have just received word that the outbreak was caused by two men who have been bitten by a diseased. We have yet to receive word how this person became infected.”

Victoria looked at the screen in horror as she saw the footage of the men behind the newscaster. They were biting others and shredding them apart. It appeared like something out of a horror movie. She couldn’t believe her eyes as the banner at the bottom of the screen was spilling out information on where to go and where to seek help.

“People, do not approach or try to apprehend anyone who is seen acting like the people in the footage behind me. They are extremely dangerous. If you have been in contact with anyone acting in such a manner, please seek immediate help as you may be infected.”

“Fuckin’ zombies!” One of her classmates blurted out what everyone else was afraid to say, sending the classroom into a panic. People began scrambling for the door and freaking out.

“Calm down. I’m sure this will all be taken care of by the military here soon. No need to panic.” The teacher said as he raised his hands trying to calm the students.

Victoria couldn’t believe what she was experiencing right now, her mind reeled as it went back to that article she was reading back at the hotel months ago. If this was a zombie outbreak, she needed to get to her family immediately and they needed to leave the city as fast as possible.

Jamming her notebook into her bag and shouldering it, she rose from her seat. She made her way to the door, heading out as fast as she could. The school seemed to be in a panic, people having the same thoughts as her trying to escape the place as fast as possible.

Fear ripped through her as someone down the hall screamed. Her eyes looking down the hall to see someone laying on the floor with another person bent over them, it appeared that they were eating them.

Turning from the sight she made her way down the hall to the emergency exit of the college. Slamming into the door she made her way out into the parking lot. It was just as much of a panic in the parking lot as it was in the building. People were rushing to their cars and congesting the parking lot quickly. Shaking her head she yanked her phone out of her pocket, dialing her sister’s number.

As soon as the phone picked up she began speaking, “Erika, where the hell are you?”

“I’m at home. Mom’s acting weird.” Fear trembled Erika’s voice as she spoke. “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. Stay put and stay safe. I will be there soon!” She replied as she hung the phone up and darted around the parking lot. Running between cars as they chaotically attempted to leave. She couldn’t believe her eyes as people became reckless over the situation, almost hitting other people and slamming into each other's cars to get out of the crowded area.

Running as hard as she could towards her mother’s house a few blocks away she noticed more people acting weirdly, like the people on the tv. They were walking like they had no direction and their eyes were blankly staring forward. Some of them clearly looked as though they had been hit by a car or started to be eaten. She could tell these people were not of the living variety.

As she rounded the street corner to her house she noticed that her dad’s silver car was haphazardly parked halfway into the yard and the street. This concerned her terribly, her father is a city official and is very careful with everything he does. The front door to the house stood wide open as she ran up the drive.

“Mom?! Dad!? Erika?!” Victoria called out as she entered the house. She carefully made her way into the living room, looking around for her family. Fear ripped through her as she noticed a trail of blood leading into the kitchen. Slowly she followed it, hearing wheezing and moaning sounds from the room.

Rounding the corner she screamed in horror as her father was bent over her mom ripping her apart. “Mom! No!” She cried out as she stumbled backwards, not believing what she was seeing.

The thing that looked like her father turned towards her, blood and flesh hanging from his mouth as he began to make his way towards Victoria.

Fear gripped her as she backed into the living room watching her father now turned walker advance on her. “Dad, stop!” She exclaimed as she continued to back away from him. He didn't seem to listen to her as he reached out and snapped his jaw over and over at her.

“Vicky!” Erika gasped as she came down the stairs holding her mom’s hand gun. “Move!” She called out as she fired the gun a few times. Hitting the walker in the head. “What the hell is happening?”

“I don’t know, but we have to get out of the city fast!” She said as she made her way into the kitchen, opening her bag and shoving food into it. “Grab the medical supplies from upstairs.” Victoria moved through the kitchen and back to the living room grabbing a few photos off the shelf as she ran for the stairs. Pushing open her door and grabbing a few pairs of clothes, her pocket knife and a few of her hygiene products. “We have to go, Erika, the city isn’t safe anymore!” She called out as she left her room.

Erika came out of her room with a scared look on her face, “what do you mean the city isn’t safe anymore?” She followed Victoria down the stairs, “where are we going to go?”

Victoria shook her head as she reached the bottom stair, “I don’t know where we are going to go, but, sis, this is not a safe place to be. There are too many people and it seems this virus or whatever it is, is spreading like wildfire.”

“So dad was already dead?” Erika asked with tears in her eyes as she looked at his body on the ground.

“Yes, I assume so.” Victoria stepped over his body as she made her way to the front door, “I bet the streets are backed up with people that have the same idea we do.” She reached back to the cellphone in her pocket and tapped the screen. She sighed looking at the wallpaper. All this time and she hadn’t changed her picture, there she was looking happy with Negan’s arms around her. “Have you reached Draven?”

Erika shook her head, “I’ve called but there is no answer.”

“Shit.” She clenched her jaw as she tapped out a message. “I don’t know what is going on, but I hope that you are safe. You owe me majorly, so don’t you dare die.”

Victoria tapped the send button, attempting to send the message to Negan. A moment later she received a message back saying that the message could not be delivered due to the network being down. “Fucking shit!” She exclaimed as she jammed her phone back into her pocket.

“We can take dad’s car as far as we can to get out of the city and then ditch it when we can’t drive anymore.” Erika suggested as she grabbed his keys from his suit jacket.

“That sounds like a good plan, at least we will be safe and protected by the car from these monsters.” She took the keys and headed for the car. “Be prepared for anything. We don’t know what is going on out there exactly.”

Erika nodded and then turned to head towards the attached garage, “hold on for a second.” She yanked the door open and slipped into the garage. After a few moments she came back out holding a hammer and a tire iron. “Aim for their heads right?” She handed the tire iron over to her sister, “I kinda figured their zombies, I’ve seen Shaun of the Dead.”

Victoria chuckled as she recalled the movie, “yeah their heads, sis. Just stay close to me.” Her mind reeled as she thought about the magazine article that she read months ago, the one that her and Negan laughed about. This was insane this couldn’t be happening, but yet here they were, balls deep in the beginning of the end. The fall of humanity… ~*~

Don Felizardo de Rivera, Founder of Pila

Don Felizardo de Rivera y Evangelista (1755-1810) was the eldest of the three Rivera brothers, Don Felizardo, Don Miguel and Don Rafael. They were the owners of the estate Hacienda de Sta. Clara. They were the sons of Don Juan de Rivera, who had inherited the estate from the Spanish noble family, the Thenorios, and passed it on to his sons.

In the 18th century, due to flooding from its original location near the Laguna de Bay, the original town of Pila and its Church needed to be located to higher ground. So the Riveras planned to move it, just like their ancestor the Datu of Pila, Datu Maguinto, did in the 13th century.

However, a long, heated and controversial dispute rose between two prominent families at the time: The Riveras and the Relovas ("Pros" and "Antis". Don Regino Relova y San Antonio wanted the relocation on his land. Don Felizardo Rivera insisted that the town and church be moved to his hacienda in Sta. Clara.

Don Felizardo won after a long battle (starting October 14, 1794 and ending on July 13, 1803) after made an agreement with the parish priest: If the church was relocated to his estate, he pledged "the spiritual and material support of the Riveras to the church of St. Anthony in perpetuum up to the last of their line." The parish priest agreed.

Don Felizardo donated his lands to the church and to the municipal government but he also retained ownership of the lots surrounding what was to be the town plaza. He became the architect of the town's design, following Spanish colonial layout. He even built a kiln for manufacturing bricks and tiles for rebuilding the church, which was "transferred stone by stone" from its old location. The the ancestral houses were built around the plaza and the town municipio (municipal hall) was built opposite the church. With the assistance of the prominent families of Oca, Ruiz, and de Castro, he rebuilt the town of Pila ("Nuevo Pila") as it is to this day.

Don Felizardo served as gobernadorcillo in 1805, 1807, and 1809. He died on October 13, 1810 at the age of 55. He asked that "he be robed in the Franciscan habit upon his death and that a funeral mass be celebrated with him facing the altar of the newly-built church prior to his burial in the church crypt." His will (currently in the possession of the Rivera Family) was notarized by the town mayor at the time. At the time of his death, both pros and antis came to pay their respects and drop the long feud (the families later intermarried.) Don Felizardo's son Jose de Rivera later took over the gobernadorcillo post in 1811.

Don Felizardo de Rivera is the recognized founder of (Nuevo Pila) present-day Pila, Laguna, and the ancestor of the four main prominent families in Pila: Rivera, Relova, Agra and Alava.

WHEN A TOWN HAS TO MOVE: HOW PILA (LAGUNA) TRANSFERRED TO ITS PRESENT SITE (1794-1811) Luciano P.R. Santiago Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society, Vol. 11, No. 2/3 (June/September 1983), pp. 93-106 (14 pages) https://www.jstor.org/stable/29791789

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

During the 16th and 17th centuries, one of the earliest known leaders of Pila under Spanish Colonial Period was Don Antonio Maglilo (1696-1712), who governed Pila like his father Don Francisco Maglilo (1599), (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 11), the descendant of datu Maguinto.

In 1728, Don Maglilo’s descendant, Don Juan de Rivera, the founder of one of Pila’s most prominent families, the Rivera clan, became mayor of Pila. The Rivera’s were a “major branch of the Maglilo(s)” and changed their surname to “Rivera”, the “Taga-ilog”, or “People of the River”. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 17).

Don Juan de Rivera married Doña Josepha Thenorio, who descended from Spanish nobility from Extremadura, Spain. The Thenorio family matriarch was Doña Maria Cortés de Monroy, the sister of Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés (1485-1547). (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 16). (Writer’s Note: Cortes had relations and a child with the Aztec princess Doña Isabel Moctezuma (born Tecuichpoch Ixcaxochitzin; 1509/1510 – 1550/1551), a daughter of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II, and Cortes’s sister Doña Maria’s descendants married the descendants of a Philippine Pre-Hispanic king.)

Don Juan's descendant, Don Felizardo de Rivera (1755-1810), was at first a town executive from 1792 to 1793. He was governor of Pila in 1792. During the town move, he had drawn up grid plans (Cuadricula) in 1790 for the new site (where Pila was to be moved) based on the classical Spanish system of 'church-plaza-town hall complex' as originally prescribed by the 'Laws of the Indies (1573)' (laws issued by the Spanish Crown for town planning). He had become a self-taught architect. When the transfer was officially sanctioned (approved), he implemented his plans by serving as gobernadorcillo (governor) in 1805, 1807, and 1809 (he died in 1810). Because of his orderly design (of the town), Don Felizardo is considered the founder of 'Nuevo Pila (New Pila).' Don Felizardo retained all the residential lots around the rectangular plaza between the church and the town hall for the ancestral houses. The principal street is christened 'Rivera', which connects (the town) 'like a long umbilical cord' (back to) Pagalangan. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 25). All the lots around the town plaza were given by Don Felizardo to his heirs, and the ancestral houses now stand on those lots.

Pila was moved again due to flooding from the lake, to Don Felizardo’s Hacienda in Santa Clara, Laguna. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pgs 9, 10). On May 20, 1804, Pila Church was also moved to land at the hacienda. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pgs 10, 11, 13) Today, the 200-plus year-old church is now called the San Antonio de Padua church, which was declared the National Shrine of San Antonio de Padua, contains a relic of the saint and is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. The ruins of the original church are still standing at Pagalangan and have a historical marker as the site of the original church of Pila.

Don Felizardo is considered the founder of the present-day town of "Nueva Pila" ("New Pila") and the town’s designer and architect in the Spanish colonial grid style of city planning. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 12). The Pila Municipal Hall was later built in June 1931, across from the Church, on land previously owned by Doña Corazon Rivera de Del Mundo, daughter of Don Luis Rivera. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 20).

In his 1810 Last Will and Testament, Don Felizardo identifies himself as “Taong Tunai at Maguinoo” (a true maginoo). The document is with the Rivera family of Pila, Laguna.
