I'm so happy about my latest article, "Rizal: Man of Mystery" which delves into the enigmatic rumors surrounding our national hero, Jose Rizal. It was one of the most enjoyable things I've ever written and it's my first article for Juice.ph.
Here's an excerpt:
"The most infamous mystery is that Rizal fathered the German Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler. This rumor began circulating because of an educational film about Nazism and World War II. In it, a framed photo of Rizal was found hanging on Hitler’s bunker. This poses the question, “Was Hitler a fan of our national hero or was it something more?” Jose Rizal was educated in Europe and he spent a great deal of time in Germany. To this day, he is revered with a street and statue in Wilhelmsfeld. In fact his novel, Noli Me Tangere, was first published in Berlin in 1887. "

Great search on Rizal's life, but now it casts doubt on us if he is worth to be a national hero. This is a deviate from what is depicted in our standard school textbook.
