FAST FACTS: What makes a Filipino historical figure a national hero?

MANILA, Philippines – With a rich historical background, it’s no surprise that the Philippines recognizes prominent figures who fought for the country. From writers to soldiers, numerous people have sacrificed their lives to help the country gain and maintain independence.

Historian Esteban de Ocampo defines a hero as a prominent figure who accomplished an admirable feat in any significant action or event, and who is honored after death due to his or her service to the nation.

Heroes like Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio are not explicitly proclaimed national heroes, but Filipinos pay tribute to them and recognize their heroism, having national holidays as a result.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: '..If the END brings me out all RIGHT, what's said against me WON'T AMOUNT to ANYTHING. If the end brings me out WRONG, TEN ANGELS swearing I was RIGHT would MAKE NO DIFFERENCE..'

CHURCHILL: 'If u wil NOT FIGHT for right when u can easily win W/OUT BLOODshed.. U may HAVE to FIGHT when there is NO HOPE of VICTORY,bec it s better to PERISH than to Live as SLAVES' HITLER: 'What LUCK for RULERS that MEN DO NOT THINK'

HITLER: '..broad MASSES of a nation..mor readily FALL VICTIMS 2 the BIG LIE than the SMALL LIE' 'What LUCK 4Rulers that men DONOT THINK' George Santayana: 'Thos who DONOT REMEMBER d PAST are CONDEMND 2REPEAT it' Stephen King: 'FOOL me ONCE,shame on U,Fool me TWICE,shame on ME'

The pinoy has little regard for history, that is why facts can easily be replaced and erased!

They did not die in vain? If they only knew. Hehe

Your history is far from reality,😏

Ha ha ha ja ha ha ha Distort? Ha ha ha

They replaced the P1000 because it will give them an excuse to overprint the older P1000 bill and use them for buying votes and nothing else! The timing of its circulation was pretty good... a month before the National elections!

One very good example is replacing Escoda, Abad Santos and Lim with the Philippine eagle with a lame excuse that Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas did it due to Covid. Why didn't they replace the smaller bills which are used more frequently than this bigger denomination?
