A National Historical Commission marker was unveiled this morning, February 4, 2022, at the corner of Sociego (Calm) and Silencio (Silence) streets in Santa Mesa whose peacefulness was disrupted by the first shot in the Philippine-American War fired there in 1899. This event was previously believed to have occurred on San Juan bridge until the late Dr. Benito J. Legarda corrected the error.
Contemporary newspaper reports like the New York Times that I reference in my Inquirer column today do not mention a bridge in San Juan but give the site as Santa Mesa. I got into trouble years ago when, as Historical Commission Chair I adopted the Legarda correction. I did not realize that by correcting history and moving the site from San Juan to Manila, the former lost a holiday and its place as a footnote in our nation's history. The link to my column:

Thank you sir Ambeth!!

In 2019, I consulted the New York Public Library album of Philippine Costumes by Justiniano Asuncion in a locked, windowless, Rare Book Room. I told the librarian that when I first handled the album in the 1980s I was allowed to take it out of the room so I could look at the plates in natural light--out in the corridor by a window. She replied gruffly: "That was a mistake that will not happen today!"
In retrospect I could have walked out the entrance on Fifth Avenue with this treasure :) With current auction prices for Asuncion's work these must really be kept under lock and key.
My Inquirer column today on this album that comes with both images and text of the Philippines and Filipinos in the mid-19th century.

Eye opener.😊

Anti-Marcos story.

FROM ANTI TO BELIEVER.

I graduated from UP Diliman, kaliwa't kanan ang mga aktibista sa pag-rally but I was a meek student, never akong sumali sa rallies but I admit that the brainwashing was real. Sa tuwing naririnig ko ang pangalang Marcos, may namumuong p**t sa loob ko. Naalala ko nung idineklarang ilipat si FEM sa LNMB, marami sa mga kaklase ko ang sumama sa rally sa may Katipunan laban dito. Gusto ko rin sanang sumali kaya lang ay hindi malakas ang loob ko, kaya't nag-post na lang ako sa FB. Kumukulo talaga ang dugo ko at kahit may nag-reply sa aking hayaan na lang, hindi ko matanggap at sinagot ko siya. Ganoon kasi ang turo sa amin sa paaralan, na masasama, magnanakaw at mga sinungaling ang mga Marcos. Pati ang tatay ko na graduate din ng UP ay ayaw kay Marcos, dahil daw nung martial law, may professor siyang anti-Marcos at isang araw ay nawala na lang siya, hindi na nakitang muli. Narinig ko rin ang issue na namatay na ang tunay na Bongbong Marcos at pinalitan lang siya ng kamukhang kamag-anak.

Taong 2021, naging maugong ang interview ni Ms. Toni Gonzaga kay Bongbong Marcos at maraming taong nag-cancel kay Ms. Toni dahil dito. Sobrang na-curious ako kaya sinubukan kong panoorin yung interview, with an open mind. While watching, may kakaiba akong naramdaman.. Bakit magaan ang loob ko, at bakit pakiramdam kong nagsasabi siya ng totoo? I was waiting for Bongbong to give me a hint na pekeng BBM siya, pero mas lalo akong natuwa sa mga shinare niya about his father and himself. I got more curious kaya pinanood ko rin yung interview ni Ms. Toni kina Pacquiao at Leni. Si Pacquiao, I felt that he's too blinded that the Philippines needs saving by him, but he lacks the capacity and wisdom to do so, lalo kung marami siyang advisers na laging bumubulong sa kanya, while Leni is very warm as a mother of 3 daughters na lahat sila girls and a wife, but not a leader to the highest position kung gusto niyang bilis-bilisan ang takbo ng sasakyan while her supporters are cheering for her.

Dahil confused at mas lalo akong naging curious, I began to watch BBM Vlogs, seriously listen to Thinking Pinoy's analysis on every issue lalo sa mga DQ cases ni BBM na nagsulputan kung saan-saan, follow Mayor Inday Sara's journey until she finally declares her candidacy as VP to partner with BBM, and read posts from Ms. Ethel Pineda, MNR Edwin Jamora, KLC, Rita Gadi, Coach Jarret and many more. Tapos dumating na ang kaliwa't kanang caravan for BBM. Sobrang overwhelming at nakakaiyak! Isa ako sa mga humihiling na makasali sa caravan kaso nasa ibang bansa naman. Deep in my heart, I am rooting for BBM, because he taught me to love my enemies at napaka-humble ng family niya. Hindi madadaan sa paghihiganti ang kapayapaan. In a span of 2 months, na-convince akong hindi sila ang diktador, bagkus, ay biktima lang din sila. Sa 36 taong lumipas na puro paninirang-puri at pambabastos, punung-puno pa rin sila ng pagmamahal sa Pilipinas at wala kang maririnig na angas mula sa kanila. Ganyan ba ang ugaling diktador?

Hangad kong umunlad ang Pilipinas dahil matagal na itong ipinagkait sa atin. Mabuti na lang at nandiyan si Tatay Digong at nagkaroon ng pag-asa ang mga Pilipino. Buksan natin ang ating puso't isipan, dahil nagmumula sa ating mga sarili ang pagkakaisa at pagpapakumbaba, na hindi naghahanap ng ikapupuna o ikasisira ng kapwa niya Pilipino.



I concealed my identity dahil marami po akong kakilalang pro-Leni na palaban. Natatakot po akong ma-bash at mahusgahan. 🙏🏻 Maraming salamat po sa inyong oras.

RIZAL QUOTE FOR THE COMING WEEK.
Two quotes on history and historians from our National Heroes that hit me in the gut this week.
*Andres Bonifacio quoted in the autobiography of Gregoria de Jesus
*Jose Rizal quote from a letter to Ferdinand Blumentritt.

Humbling....😔

Fernando Amorsolo with portraits of three Commonwealth presidents: Manuel Roxas, Manuel Quezon, and Sergio Osmeña. I've always wondered what the commercial side of Amorsolo's art was like and found some clues in his correspondence. My Inquirer column today is on Luxury and Amorsolo at auction:
