PHOTO OF THE WEEK:
RIZAL IN RIZAL Almost every province in the Philippines has its Rizal statue. This one is located in Pililia, Rizal, a province east of Metro Manila and named after the national hero (of course!). The typical Rizal statue shows him standing erect on his feet, a book in hand and a serious look. This one though shows him in full 19th-century winter and formal attire in a classic Napoleonic pose. And there’s an air of arrogance to boot - perhaps to indicate his ilustrado background. Photo by Arkibong Bayan/BULATLAT.COM We want to know what you think of this article. |
