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.

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.
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!
The first hippies started as a movement speaking out against the Vietnam war and against American civil inequality. The first ones came to protest the establishment- but later on, hippies just became bums who no longer had a cause and were only in it for the music sex and drugs.
