According to Renato Constantino, when the American government conquered the island of the Philippines from the Spanish government in 1896, the American government established a commonwealth government after the Spanish revolutionary government ceased to govern the country. At this time of the Philippine history, Filipinos under the commonwealth government started to frame up Filipino national identities. When the question on who would be the national hero arose, whether Rizal or Bonifacio, the American government "guided" the Filipino people to choose Rizal. The American rationale was based on Rizal's peaceful Propaganda and diplomatic approaches in attaining Philippine freedom and independence, unlike Bonifacio who chose a bloody revolution.
Whether this assessment is accurate or not, Dr. Rizal has been considered a hero of the Philippines from the outset: a public holiday was declared honouring Dr. Rizal in 1898, whereas that for Bonifacio was not declared until 1921. Dr. Rizal was considered to be his inspiration by Bonifacio himself. Even without the assistance of US propaganda, Rizal would have been honoured as a hero in the Philippines. Perhaps the effect of the propaganda was less to boost Rizal and more to denigrate Bonifacio.

How did the Philippines gain its freedom from Spain?
The Spanish lost the Philippines in 1898, as a result of annexation by the US, and independence did not come until 1946. The Philippine Revolution began in 1896, mostly by rebel Katipunan fighters under leaders Andrés Bonifacio, Mariano Alvarez and Emilio Aguinaldo. When the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898, the US destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila allowed the rebels to seize most of the major cities, and independence was declared on June 12, 1898. However, the US did not recognize the new autocratic government, and maintained control of Manila. The Philippine-American War began with the Battle of Manila in 1899, and continued until 1902, when most of the major Filipino forces had been defeated. The war was marked by brutal atrocities on both sides, and guerrilla warfare continued for several years, despite the establishment of local governments and the election of a legislative assembly in 1907. The Philippines became a US Commonwealth in 1935, but was occupied by the Japanese from 1942 to 1945 in World War 2. The country achieved independence in 1946.
Where does the last name Miller come from?
Many European names came from a person's profession. They started as a way of distinguishing different people with the same given name - e.g. John the fisherman as opposed to John the barber, and eventually these morphed into family names that lost their connection to a person's profession. John the fisherman became John Fisher, John the barrel-maker (cooper) became John Cooper, and so on. So, Millers were probably at one point involved in grain milling!

What was the religion of Jose Rizal?
He was Roman Catholic by birth and even studied in Catholic Schools. But when he met his "Ultima Querrida" (last love), he became a Protestant by choice. Because of that, he and his girlfriend, Josephine Bracken, were denied the benefit of a Catholic marriage rite. That is also the reason why Rizal was also denied the benefit of a Catholic mass during his burial. Actually Jose Rizal's religon is masonry. If you will check Dapitan where he stayed during his exile you will find all the signs that he had builded and he was even teaching it to some filipino working their for him. He was also teaching English to the filipino's during those time to prepare them for the invasion of the US because he know that they will come.

Answer: Remember the incident of the GOMBURZA? Paciano was the assistant of Father Burgos in the fight for the FILIPINIZATION of the parishes.

Differentiate republic act from policy?
Just in the year 1956, to be exact, on June 12 (the anniversary of the declaration of independence) the parliament in Manila passes a law (Republic Act Number 1425) which decreed the entire works of Rizal as teaching material in all private and public schools and universities. Since the correspondence with Blumentritt represents the biggest portion of Rizal's exchange of letters it can be said with full justification that Blumentritt is known to practically every schoolchild in the Philippines. Kurt, a grandson of Blumentritt, was presented an honorary plaque posthumously on December 30, 1978, on the death anniversary of Rizal, for his grandfather's exceptional interest in the history and culture of the Philippine people . . for his voluntary alliance, his cooperation and his identification with the Philippine reformist politicians . . . for the publication of many valuable works about the Philippines . . and for the inspiration and active support, which he lent the propaganda actions . above all, to his best friend, Dr. Jose Rizal . . ." A year later, Blumentritt was admitted posthumously to the order of the Knights of Rizal in the rank of "Knight Commander". Here too, in the substantiation for his admission, Blumentritt was cited as inspirer-advisor and friend of Rizal for life and appreciation was paid him for introducing Rizal to the prominent men of letters and science in Europe and for being a constant source of courage to his friend and the inspiration for Rizal's vision of an independent Philippine nation. In one of the numerous future visions which were exchanged between Rizal and Blumentritt, Rizal writes in the possibly most touching letter of this long correspondence: "Yes, I believe the time is already near when I may return to the Philippines. When I am already there, then you must come with your whole family and live with me; I am provided with a big library, I shall have a little house built on a hill for myself; then I shall devote myself to the sciences, read history and write, establish a school and if you can bear the climate, then you shall be the director. I am sure all the young ones, the best in the country shall come to us: Blumentritt-Rizal will stay in the memory of the Filipino people like Goethe and Schiller, like Horatius and Virgil, like the Humboldts ..." The inexorability of history destroyed the dream of Rizal but his vision for the Filipino people came true - the memory of the two friends is alive. May these lines contribute to making a breach in the wall of ignorance and forgetfulness so that on his side of the globe, Ferdinand Blumentritt will finally be honored.
Where did the name Jose come from?
This name originated in Spain.
Origin of the Philippine names?
The Philippines is a country of many names. Early Chinese traders who visited Mindoro called it Ma-yi or Ma-i which means land of gold, Liu-Sing, San Hsii or San Tao and Haitan. In a map of Claudius Ptolemy, a famous ancient geographer of Alexandria it was named Maniolas. Europeans who visited our country gave names Islas del Poniente and Islas del Oriente. When Magellan came in 1521 , he named the Philippines Archipelago of St. Lazarus but the name did not come popular. The most romantic name of the country remains that of Pearl of the Orient Seas, given by a Spanish Jesuit missionary-historian, Fr. Juan J. Delgado in 1751 and popularized by Philippines' National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. The name Felipinas was given by Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, a Spanish explorer in 1543 to honor Prince Philip OS Asturias , who later became Philip II, King of Spain. Felipinas later became the Filipinas during the Spanish colonial era. Then it became Philippine Islands during the American colonial era then the Republic of Philippines after its independence.
