I'm from the Philippines. First cousin marriages are no longer legally possible here, but there was a time when some people did them. For example, Manuel L. Quezon (one of our former presidents) married his first cousin Aurora Aragon in 1918. Their mothers were sisters.

One of your former presidents, that's very prominent!

[thespoliarium]

Former Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon too, also died on this day in 1944.

He was responsible for helping approximately 1300 Jews escape the Holocaust in WWII, by letting them in the Philippines, this is known as the Open Door Policy.

I remember hearing about the Filipino protests for ceasefire within Palestine.

I remember being glad to see the protests being done in solidarity with our fellow oppressed — having had a history of being colonized and all — and then, my father begrudgingly says, "Ang dami-dami na nga nating problema dito, nakikisawsaw pa kayo sa gulo!" [Tagalog: we already have so many problems here, but there you are joining in their chaos!]

I was immediately pissed — was it so bad to show our solidarity with Palestinians in our own land? — but, even in the moment, deep down, I knew my father's response was some form of valid. We can barely live in our own country still neck-deep in poverty as the corrupt manipulate their way into plundering the masses. I mean, if the 2022 national presidential elections was any indication, we were all fucking cheated systemically! We're living in a damned nightmare woven for decades upon decades by the rich and powerful, like the Marcoses.

A Facebook user once posted in a political discussion forum that we're living in a failed democracy. When I saw and stared at the post, I realized... yeah, we really fucking are. Putangina.

My father's comment about Filipino protests for Palestine implies a lot of valid points — we're in our own kind of hell, and we really should be striving to better ourselves first before we call help for other people... and yet, at the same time, I can't deny that, at least, in my head, heart, and soul, I'm fiercely chanting From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

I hope that one day we'll all see the day when we're all finally free — free from oppression. Free from corruption. Free to live and just be.

I hope that one day, we'll all be free.

Sa Dagat At Bundok Na Simoy, At Sa Langit Mong Bughaw

I am a Filipino-inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such I must prove equal to a two-fold task–the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future.

I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope-hope in the free abundance of new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.

This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green-and-purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living and the fruitfulness of commerce, is a hallowed spot to me.

By the strength of their hearts and hands, by every right of law, human and divine, this land and all the appurtenances thereof-the black and fertile soil, the seas and lakes and rivers teeming with fish, the forests with their inexhaustible wealth in wild life and timber, the mountains with their bowels swollen with minerals-the whole of this rich and happy land has been, for centuries without number, the land of my fathers. This land I received in trust from them and in trust will pass it to my children, and so on until the world is no more.

I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes-seed that flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage and defiance. In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to battle against the first invader of this land, that nerved Lakandula in the combat against the alien foe, that drove Diego Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.

That seed is immortal. It is the self-same seed that flowered in the heart of Jose Rizal that morning in Bagumbayan when a volley of shots put an end to all that was mortal of him and made his spirit deathless forever, the same that flowered in the hearts of Bonifacio in Balintawak, of Gergorio del Pilar at Tirad Pass, of Antonio Luna at Calumpit; that bloomed in flowers of frustration in the sad heart of Emilio Aguinaldo at Palanan, and yet burst forth royally again in the proud heart of Manuel L. Quezon when he stood at last on the threshold of ancient Malacañan Palace, in the symbolic act of possession and racial vindication.

The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my manhood, the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand years ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the insignia of my race, and my generation is but a stage in the unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.

I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The East, with its languor and mysticism, its passivity and endurance, was my mother, and my sire was the West that came thundering across the seas with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of the East, an eager participant in its spirit, and in its struggles for liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East must awake from its centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has bound his limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.

For I, too, am of the West, and the vigorous peoples of the West have destroyed forever the peace and quiet that once were ours. I can no longer live, a being apart from those whose world now trembles to the roar of bomb and cannon-shot. I cannot say of a matter of universal life-and-death, of freedom and slavery for all mankind, that it concerns me not. For no man and no nation is an island, but a part of the main, there is no longer any East and West–only individuals and nations making those momentous choices which are the hinges upon which history resolves.

At the vanguard of progress in this part of the world I stand–a forlorn figure in the eyes of some, but not one defeated and lost. For, through the thick, interlacing branches of habit and custom above me, I have seen the light of the sun, and I know that it is good. I have seen the light of justice and equality and freedom, my heart has been lifted by the vision of democracy, and I shall not rest until my land and my people shall have been blessed by these, beyond the power of any man or nation to subvert or destroy.

I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give that I may prove worthy of my inheritance? I shall give the pledge that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it shall be compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears when first they saw the contours of this land loom before their eyes, of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from Mactan to Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:

Land of the morning, Child of the sun returning– Ne’er shall invaders Trample thy sacred shore.

Out of the lush green of these seven thousand isles, out of the heartstrings of sixteen million people all vibrating to one song, I shall weave the mighty fabric of my pledge. Out of the songs of the farmers at sunrise when they go to labor in the fields, out of the sweat of the hard-bitten pioneers in Mal-lig and Koronadal, out of the silent endurance of stevedores at the piers and the ominous grumbling of peasants in Pampanga, out of the first cries of babies newly born and the lullabies that mothers sing, out of the crashing of gears and the whine of turbines in the factories, out of the crunch of plough-shares upturning the earth, out of the limitless patience of teachers in the classrooms and doctors in the clinics, out of the tramp of soldiers marching, I shall make the pattern of my pledge:

“I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until freedom shall have been added unto my inheritance-for myself and my children and my children’s children-forever.”

Carlos P. Romulo I am a Filipino

FAMILY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Article 24. Civil Code of the Philippines

In all contractual, property or other relations, when one of the parties is at a disadvantage on account of his moral dependence, ignorance, indigence, mental weakness, tender age or other handicap, the courts must be vigilant for his protection.

This article is designed to implement the principle of parens patriae, and the courts, as guardians of the rights of people, are called upon to implement such policy. This article is an implementation of the social justice clause in the constitution.

Valenzuela v. Court of Appeals G.R. No. L-56168 December 22, 1988

Petitioner: Carlota P. Valenzuela, Superintendent of Banks and Authorized Representative of the Central Bank of the Philippines in the liquidation of the Rural Bank of Lucena, Inc.

Respondents: Honorable Court of Appeals, Rufina Telosa, Dolores Telosa, Fe Telosa, Estelita Telosa, Manuel Telosa, Romulo Telosa, and Minors Alfaro Telosa, Nestor Telosa, and Mario Telosa, represented by Rufina Telosa

Facts:

Background: Carlos Telosa, a fisherman and farmer with limited education, obtained a loan of P300.00 from the Rural Bank of Lucena, Inc. on November 29, 1960. To secure the loan, he mortgaged a 50,000-square-meter parcel of land co-owned with his spouse, Rufina Telosa.

Bank’s Distress and Liquidation: The Rural Bank of Lucena was found to have engaged in unsound banking practices and was eventually liquidated by the Central Bank. The Central Bank’s representative erroneously demanded P5,000.00 from Telosa, who believed he owed only P300.00.

Foreclosure: Despite partial payments by Telosa, the bank proceeded with an extrajudicial foreclosure of the mortgage on April 20, 1972. Telosa’s heirs, claiming the mortgage amount was fully paid and seeking to stop the foreclosure, filed a complaint in the Court of First Instance of Quezon.

Issue:

Validity of Mortgage and Foreclosure: Whether the mortgage and foreclosure were valid given the alleged fraudulent nature of the transaction.

Claims for Reformation and Damages: Whether the court should order reformation of the mortgage, annul the foreclosure, and award damages.

Ruling:

In this case, the Court applied Article 24 to correct the fraudulent mortgage transaction and prevent unjust exploitation of Carlos Telosa and his heirs.

The Court found substantial evidence supporting the claim that the loan amount was only P300.00 and not P5,000.00. The bank’s actions were deemed fraudulent, exploiting Telosa’s disadvantaged position.

The Court affirmed the lower court’s decision to reform the mortgage to reflect the actual loan amount and annul the foreclosure sale. The Court also upheld the awards for moral damages, attorney’s fees, and litigation expenses.

During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines (1942–1945), several Filipinos collaborated with the Japanese Imperial Army, either out of political ambition, survival, or ideological alignment. These individuals played various roles, from government officials in the puppet regime to military personnel and businessmen who supported Japanese interests.

Here's a list of prominent Filipino collaborators with the Japanese during World War II, along with details about their involvement:

---

### 1. **Jose P. Laurel**

---

### 3. **Jorge B. Vargas**

- **Position**: Chairman of the Philippine Executive Commission (1942–1943)

- **Details**:

- Jorge B. Vargas was a close ally of President Manuel L. Quezon before the Japanese invasion. When Quezon fled to the U.S., Vargas stayed behind and became the head of the Japanese-sponsored **Philippine Executive Commission**, the administrative body that governed the country before the establishment of the Second Republic.

- Vargas worked with the Japanese to maintain some form of Filipino governance during the occupation, overseeing civilian affairs, though he had limited real power.

- After the war, he faced charges of collaboration but was also pardoned.

---

### 4. **Claro M. Recto**

- **Position**: Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Japanese-sponsored Republic of the Philippines

- **Details**:

- Claro M. Recto was a respected Filipino politician, lawyer, and nationalist who was appointed as the **Minister of Foreign Affairs** under the puppet government of Jose P. Laurel.

- Recto's collaboration with the Japanese was seen as an effort to maintain Filipino sovereignty, even under occupation.

- Like Laurel and others, Recto was arrested after the war but later released after being granted amnesty.

---

### 5. **Emilio Aguinaldo**

- **Position**: Figurehead of Japanese propaganda efforts

- **Details**:

- Emilio Aguinaldo, the former revolutionary leader and the first President of the Philippines, did not hold an official position in the Japanese government but publicly supported the Japanese occupation.

- He was used by the Japanese for propaganda purposes, making statements and radio broadcasts urging Filipinos to cooperate with the Japanese.

- Aguinaldo’s collaboration was seen as a major disappointment given his role in the fight for Filipino independence decades earlier. After the war, he was arrested but not tried and lived out the rest of his life quietly.

---

### 6. **Pedro Sabido**

- **Position**: Minister of Finance of the Japanese-sponsored Republic of the Philippines

- **Details**:

- Sabido was appointed as the **Minister of Finance** in Jose P. Laurel’s puppet government.

- His role involved overseeing economic policies under Japanese rule, including managing the allocation of resources, often under strict Japanese directives.

- He was arrested after the war but, like many others, was pardoned under President Roxas.

---

### 7. **Jose Yulo**

- **Position**: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court during the Japanese occupation

- **Details**:

- Jose Yulo, a prominent lawyer and politician, served as the **Chief Justice of the Supreme Court** under the Japanese-sponsored government.

- He played a significant role in legitimizing Japanese laws and policies in the occupied Philippines.

- After the war, he was detained for collaboration but later returned to politics after being cleared of charges.

---

### 8. **Antonio de las Alas**

- **Position**: Minister of Finance and Executive Commission member

- **Details**:

- Antonio de las Alas served as a **Minister of Finance** in the Japanese-sponsored regime and was a member of the **Philippine Executive Commission**.

---

### 10. **Simeon Valdez**

- **Position**: Governor of Ilocos Norte under Japanese occupation

- **Details**:

- Simeon Valdez was a local politician who served as **Governor of Ilocos Norte** during the Japanese occupation.

- He cooperated with Japanese forces to maintain control over the region, and was involved in efforts to suppress guerrilla resistance.

- After the war, Valdez faced charges for collaborating with the Japanese.

---

### **Motivations for Collaboration**

Many of these Filipino collaborators justified their actions as a way to protect the Filipino people from harsher treatment by the Japanese or as a form of pragmatic survival. Others were motivated by ambition or by the belief that cooperating with the Japanese would eventually lead to Philippine independence. In the aftermath of the war, most collaborators were arrested and faced charges, but widespread pardons, especially under President Manuel Roxas, meant that few faced long-term punishment.

### **Consequences of Collaboration**

- After the war, collaborators were often labeled as traitors, and public opinion turned against them.

- Many were arrested by the returning American forces and the Philippine government, but almost all were later pardoned in the spirit of post-war reconstruction.

- Several collaborators, including Jose P. Laurel, eventually returned to political life in the Philippines after receiving amnesty.

---

### **Conclusion**

The Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II created a complex environment in which many prominent Filipinos chose to collaborate with the occupying forces. While some did so out of a sense of pragmatism or self-preservation, others saw it as an opportunity to further their political careers. However, their roles during the occupation remain controversial in Philippine history.

Happy birthday to Manuel Luis Quezon, the second president of the Philippines! Born on this day on the 19th of August 1878.

You may have recognized him from my first post about him about his contribution to save 1300 Jews from the Holocaust, but did you know he's also the "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa?"

This is because he thought of a language to unite a nation. Take note that the Philippines has many dialects from many provinces. Because of this, he created the "Surian ng Wikang Pambansa" (today's "Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino"). From there, they had a choice of 8 dialects, mga pangunahing wika, namely Cebuano, Waray, Ilokano, Hiligaynon, Bikolano, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, and Tagalog.

They went with Tagalog. On November 17, 1937, Kautusang Tagapagpaganap Blg. 134 was implemented, "na ang Wikang Pambansa ay ibabatay sa Tagalog."

Quezon's contributions to our national language are still celebrated and honored today, as the whole month of August celebrates "Buwan ng Wika."

People and Pesos: The Story Behind the Names on Philippine Currency

Philippine money, known as the Philippine peso, has a rich history and has undergone significant changes over time. The country's currency design has reflected its colonial past, Independence, and the personalities who have shaped its history. Let's explore the evolution of the Philippine currency and the prominent figures whose names and likenesses are inscribed in it.

Early Philippine Money

Before Spanish colonization, the Philippines used various forms of trade and barter, with gold as a common medium of exchange. Spanish colonization brought coins and currency from Spain and its colonies. The Spanish introduced coins like "cons", and later "dos mundos" or "pieces of eight", which widely used in the region.

American Period

After the Spanish-American War, the United States, established the Philippine peso as the official currency of the Philippines. During this period, coins and paper bills with American designs were circulated, often bearing the seal of the U.S. Bureau of Insular Affairs.

Post-Independence Currency

After gaining Independence from the United States in 1946, the Philippines began to issue its own currency reflecting its identity and history. The Central Bank of the Philippines (now Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) was established in 1949 to manage the country's currency.

Current Philippine Peso

The current series of Philippine peso banknotes and coins feature a variety of historical figures and symbols that represent the nation's history and culture. Here are some notable figures and symbols on the currency:

. 500 Peso Bill: This bill features former president Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., a prominent opposition leader during the Marcos regime. The reverse side depicts the EDSA People Revolution , a significant event in Philippine history .

. 200 Peso Bill: This bill has Diosdado Macapagal, a former Philippine president known for his efforts to improve the country's economy.

. 100 Peso Bill: Features Manuel A. Roxas, the first president of the Independent Republic of the Philippines.

Plaza Lawton, originally known as Plaza Sampalucan, is a historic public square located in Manila, Philippines. It was named after Henry Ware Lawton, an American soldier who served during the Philippine-American War and was killed in action in 1899.

During the American colonial period, Plaza Lawton served as a significant center for public gatherings, political rallies, and cultural events. It witnessed key moments in Philippine history, including the inauguration of Manuel L. Quezon as the first President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1935.

Over the years, Plaza Lawton underwent several renovations and redesigns to accommodate the changing needs of the city. In 1961, it was renamed as Liwasang Bonifacio in honor of Andrés Bonifacio, a Filipino revolutionary leader.

Today, Plaza Lawton has become a refuge for numerous homeless individuals and beggars, diminishing its appeal as a tourist destination due to the prevalent filth and unpleasant odors. Garbage and signs of extreme poverty now characterize the area, raising concerns about its current state. It is disheartening to witness such degradation, prompting questions about the actions taken by politicians to address these issues.
