Alas ng Bayan 2.0 is a riveting new contribution to an exhibition series celebrating the unbroken line of Filipina heroism in our people’s past, from the 19th century to the present.
First launched in 2019, the Alas ng Bayan exhibit is a history-through-art initiative of the Constantino Foundation in cooperation with the Tandang Sora Women’s Museum and 350 Pilipinas. The exhibit seeks to reintroduce the Philippine past and femtinism as young Filipinos respond to the worsening state of national forgetting, maldevelopment, and the climate crisis. The exhibit hopes to generate interest in sectors not normally active in national and social issues by offering notions of citizenship, nationhood, and activism in the face of multiple emergencies hammering the country today.

We Can Choose Honor
A sense of honor is one of the simplest lessons our nation’s mightiest heroes can impart. But it’s a teaching we can absorb only by remembering better, by wielding our usable past.
This month marks the 114th year since Jose Abad Santos, the nation’s fifth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, passed the Bar Exams in October 1911. The occasion is an auspicious reminder, for we cannot avoid the subject of law given fresh revelations of plunder perpetrated, yet again, by the country’s so-called lawmakers, in connivance with criminals in the bureaucracy and private contractors.
Part of a storied family in Pampanga, at 10 years-old Jose Abad Santos served as a courier to the fledgling forces of the Philippine Republic during the Philippine-American War. His father, Don Vicente, was tortured and killed by Spanish authorities, who dragged his lifeless body from town to [READ]

Renato Constantino
The historian Renato Constantino passed away 26 years ago on 15 September, the very birthday of his son, RC, who designed the iconic cover of The Philippines: A Past Revisited. The book continues to be a mirror, a hammer, and a torch, as an academic recently noted. Indeed, the concept championed by Constantino – a usable past – is most useful today as we witness open thievery on display alongside the dominance of greedy dynasties treating the country’s treasury as their private piggy bank.
Where did all this begin? In many places, for sure, but there’s also one occasion that should always pop out. On 13 September 1907 the American forces occupying the Philippines hanged the last great resistance leader, the Filipino revolutionary Macario Sakay. He was a Katipunan original who fought Spanish colonialists alongside Andres Bonifacio. [READ]
