  Tess Pagaduan I never get tired reading Rizal's biography ..i first read his book when i was 7 yrsold and took Rizal course in college..I may not be smart enough but his novel and teachings gave me social awareness and love of country. I just wonder if the younger generation get to know him fully or at least read his novels and biography ? Mabuhay ang ating mga kabataan na mayruong pagmamahal at malasakit sa ating bansa !

  Geo Mari I appreciate the hard work of DTOP in making these valuable, wonderful photographs accessible to Filipinos via FB. I'd like to thank them for their effort in making us aware of our history as a nation and as a people. Mabuhay kayo DTOP!

  Geo Mari Why are we looking up to Aguinaldo as hero. He was a poor leader. The Philippine resistance collapsed not because Americans had more superior weapons but because there was lack of leadership. Aguinaldo was a sell out.

  JannetJacinto De Castro I think admin of DTOP only post this photo for historical reason and importance. Posting this kind of memoirs doesn't mean someone look up to a certain person as a hero. Thanks to admins of this page for always posting photos that give memories of our past. Mabuhay po kayo.
