Deconstructing Rizal
Today is the birthday of
Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. I managed to take
this photo of Rizal en route to Mt. Banahaw (due south of Metro Manila)
while on a trip for
PI 100.
According to
Dr. Nilo Ocampo (if I can recall correctly) this is one of the few
statues of Rizal where he is depicted as a child.
I created this collage to signify the deconstruction of Rizal wherein
his literary prowess showed in his controversial poem "Sa
aking mga kababata" ("To my fellow youngsters"). The poem is
fairly controversial because some are casting doubts on the authenticity
of Rizal being the author of this poem.
Anyway, history aside, I wish I worked in the province of Laguna today
where they have no work...
Happy Birthday Rizal!
Hope you're proud of what we've become. :)
