OPINION | ‘Look what you made me do’: A study on Rizal’s justification of the existence of Filipino indolence and its roots
The Indolence of The Filipino by José Rizal “We must confess that indolence does actually and positively exist there; only that, instead of holding it to be the cause of the backwardness and the trouble, we regard it as the effect of the trouble and the backwardness, by fostering the development of a lamentable predisposition.” — José Rizal, 1890.

OPINION | ‘BABAE KA! Hindi Babae Lang’
IN THE BEGINNING… A group of 20 young women in Malolos, Bulacan, petitioned for permission to start a “night school” at Rufina Reyes’ house on December 12, 1888, during the visit of Governor-General Valeriano Wyler. They dubbed Seor Teodoro Sandino, a professor of Latin at the time, as the most qualified person to teach them the “beautiful Spanish language.” To Marcelo del Pilar, Graceano Lopez Jeana, and Jose Rizal, Filipino women were breaking off the chains of colonialism, but the Augustinians parish priest saw it as an act of rebellion. In 1869, the 20 women launched the school in Rufina Reyes’ house. Rizal was ecstatic to find women in the Philippines who resembled them. In February 1889, he sent them a letter written in Tagalog. Jose Rizal left a legacy for Filipino women in his essay “To the Young Women of Malolos,” in which he speaks to all diverse types of women, encompassing young children, maidens, wives, and mothers. Rizal emphasizes in his article what he wants Filipino women to remember. This piece was composed while he was in London.

SIX DEAD PEOPLE Who Came Back to LIFE at Their OWN Funerals
One of the biggest mysteries in life is what happens after we die. Some people believe in reincarnation, others think we go to heaven or hell, and some believe we just cease to exist. But one thing most of us agree on is that when someone dies, they usually don't come back. I say "usually" because I don't want to upset any vampires, zombies, or ghosts out there. Sometimes, though, people do come back from the dead without needing to eat brains or sparkle in the sun. Here are some amazing stories of people who were thought to be dead but miraculously came back to life.
