Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, Passion and Patriotism is an intimate account of the lives and experiences of a renowned group of young Filipino patriots, the men whose propaganda campaign was a catalyst for the country's revolt against Spain. As writers, artists, and scientists who resided in Europe, they were exposed to new ideas. Reyes uses their paintings, photographs, political writings, novels, and letters to show the moral contradictions inherent in their passionate patriotism and their struggle to come to terms with the relative sexual freedom of European women, which they found both alluring and sordid.

Book excerpt: THE BROTHERS LUNA is a novel based on historical facts intertwined with a compelling story of romance, passion, friendship, intrigue, murder, espionage, war and the arts.Two brothers. One cause. Both willing to die for the freedom of the Philippines from foreign rule. Juan and Antonio Luna find themselves in late 19th century Europe after taking advantage of the Royal Education Decree of 1863, which allowed native Filipinos to be fully educated in the school system across Spain's colonial islands as well as in the major universities of Europe. After attending the Academia de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Juan Luna astonishes the European art scene by garnering numerous gold medals in various highly acclaimed art competitions. Antonio Luna becomes a pharmacist, but passion for reform inspires him to become a propagandist' and later, a general in the army, and the fearless soul of integrity of the Philippine revolutionary forces. In the aftermath of personal tragedy for Juan Luna, the brothers seek a new beginning, but are unknowingly caught in a web of political intrigue and rebellion against Spain's colonial authorities controlled by the powerful Dominican friars. As general, Antonio leads his soldiers into combat against the powerful invading American forces under General Arthur MacArthur. However, deprived of authority by his President, Antonio Luna's fiery temper and fighting spirit result in betrayal and tragedy. Juan Luna vows revenge but falls into a deep depression to a point of sheer madness, and eventually, returns to the Philippines to face his destiny.
Download or read book The Search for Antonio Luna s Descendant written by Hilarion M. Henares, Jr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-24 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain historians have long held that Antonio Luna had a love child with Dona Ysidra, the grand matriarch of the Cojuangco clan. This book, written by Hilarion Henares with the research assistance of Ricardo Manapat, explores this historical question and comes up with a very interesting conclusion - that a highly-prominent member of the Cojuangco family may indeed be a direct yet hitherto unrecognized descendant of General Luna. ------------ Whatever happened to the alleged love- child born of Ysidra Cojuangco and Antonio Luna? The first question is answered by this series of articles which Ric Manapat helped research on and which he now calls The Story, of the Century, all ready to be further elaborated on and researched by him as he did my past articles. The second and third questions are answered in the body of this series. Finally there is one credible witness who quotes Ysidra Cojuangco herself admitting that Antonio Luna used to bring her gold not once, but regularly during the Philippine American War and our First Republic, almost till the day he died. And incredibly, we have found ample evidence to conclude that the love child of Ysidra and Luna might have survived, adopted by her brother Melecio, and may be one of the four sons of Melecio: either Jose, father of ex-President Corazon Aquino; Juan, the twice-married, childless one; Antonio, the father of Ramon and the grandfather of PLDT's president, or Eduardo, the father of presidential candidate Danding Cojuangco. Which one? Well, read this to find out.

Download or read book Textbook of Clinical Electrocardiography written by Antonio Bayés de Luna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 15 years we have had the opportunity to teach Electrocardiography to many different types of student: doctors preparing to become cardiologists, cardiologists attending weekly 'refresher' sessions at our hospital, general practitioners who wish to become adept at electrocardiography and attend our yearly courses and, finally, the medical students of the Universidad Aut6noma of Barcelona. We cover everything with these students from the basics of electrophysiology to applied electrocardiographic semiology. This quadruple experience has proved stimulating, constantly motivating the search for better and more precise material, and the most appropriate didactic presentation for each type of student, each of whom has different requirements. I have always felt that didactic capability is not related to the intelligence of the professor, or to the amount of knowledge this person possesses, but really depends on the 'quality' of this knowledge, the 'desire' to transmit it and the 'capacity' to adapt to each teaching situation.

"Wrenching debut about family, loss, and finding the strength to carry on."—Booklist, starred review "Blazes bright, gripping readers until the novel's last page."—Publishers Weekly, starred review "Vital and perilous and hopeful."—Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee It is 1913, and twelve-year-old Petra Luna's mama has died while the Revolution rages in Mexico. Before her papa is dragged away by soldiers, Petra vows to him that she will care for the family she has left—her abuelita, little sister Amelia, and baby brother Luisito—until they can be reunited. They flee north through the unforgiving desert as their town burns, searching for safe harbor in a world that offers none. Each night when Petra closes her eyes, she holds her dreams close, especially her long-held desire to learn to read. Abuelita calls these barefoot dreams: "They're like us barefoot peasants and indios—they're not meant to go far." But Petra refuses to listen. Through battlefields and deserts, hunger and fear, Petra will stop at nothing to keep her family safe and lead them to a better life across the U.S. border—a life where her barefoot dreams could finally become reality. "Dobbs' wrenching debut, about family, loss, and finding the strength to carry on, illuminates the harsh realities of war, the heartbreaking disparities between the poor and the rich, and the racism faced by Petra and her family. Readers will love Petra, who is as strong as the black-coal rock she carries with her and as beautiful as the diamond hidden within it."—Booklist, starred review

Download or read book From Jail to Jail written by Tan Malaka and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 906 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Jail to Jail is the political autobiography of Sutan Ibrahim gelar Tan Malaka, an enigmatic and colorful political thinker of twentieth-century Asia, who was one of the most influential figures of the Indonesian Revolution. Variously labeled a communist, Trotskyite, and nationalist, Tan Malaka managed to run afoul of nearly every political group and faction involved in the Indonesian struggle for independence. During his decades of political activity, he spent periods of exile and hiding in nearly every country in Southeast Asia. As a Marxist who was expelled from and became a bitter enemy of his country’s Communist Party and as a nationalist who was imprisoned and murdered by his own government’s forces as a danger to its anticolonial struggle, Tan Malaka was and continues to be soaked in contradiction and controversy. Translated by Helen Javis and with a new introduction from Harry A. Poeze, this edition of From Jail to Jail contextualizes the life and political accomplishments of Tan Malaka in one of the few known autobiographies by a Marxist of this political era and region.
Download or read book An Anarchy of Families written by Alfred W. McCoy and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Philippine National Book Award, this pioneering volume reveals how the power of the country's family-based oligarchy both derives from and contributes to a weak Philippine state. From provincial warlords to modern managers, prominent Filipino leaders have fused family, politics, and business to compromise public institutions and amass private wealth--a historic pattern that persists to the present day. Edited by Alfred W. McCoy, An Anarchy of Families explores the pervasive influence of the modern dynasties that have led the Philippines during the past century. Exemplified by the Osmeñas and Lopezes, elite Filipino families have formed a powerful oligarchy--controlling capital, dominating national politics, and often owning the media. Beyond Manila, strong men such as Ramon Durano, Ali Dimaporo, and Justiniano Montano have used "guns, goons, and gold" to accumulate wealth and power in far-flung islands and provinces. In a new preface for this revised edition, the editor shows how this pattern of oligarchic control has continued into the twenty-first century, despite dramatic socio-economic change that has supplanted the classic "three g's" of Philippine politics with the contemporary "four c's"--continuity, Chinese, criminality, and celebrity.
