#MappyMondays!

Because today is the 162nd birthday of the #Philippines’ national hero José Rizal, here’s a map of all the 39 extant National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) historical markers related to Rizal all over the world that we know of that we have added in @wikidata along with photos of 36 of them uploaded in #WikimediaCommons.

You can play around with the Wikidata query I used to generate the map and the image grid here: https://w.wiki/6r8F

"#Philippines is a big convent where everything smells like #religion"
#JoséRizal in "#NoliMeTángere" book, 1887
I'm not still sure if Rizal said in a good way, but from me, I see that way: most of them are God-fearing people and that's a great thing. Not a problem for me.

Reading #NoliMeTángere from #JoséRizal. Found out that I'm like Fray Dámaso: I have so many years "living at Philippines" (online) that I really know to "San Diego's people": I know their secrets. 🤣
I'm loving that book, what a delightful reading!

Starting to read #JoséRizal's book: #NoliMeTángere. The complete #Spanish edition. So interested to know his worldview and why this and the other book #ElFilibusterismo are now part of the #Philippines' #RizalLaw that mandates its study at schools. #Books #BookLover #book #read

From the time @faticake took me on a Philippine history tour of Madrid.

I was* hoping to join a long ride this Sunday with a group of #foldie #cyclists. It's their yearly #Tomb2Womb ride -- from where our national hero #JoseRizal died to where he was born. I felt like I could do it even though it's 60kms each way. My problem was #cycling to the meeting spot @ Kilometer Zero in #Manila -- it's a long way and i didn't feel safe cycling alone. I asked the group of there's anyone i could ride with from my city to Manila. Nobody. 🙁 So i got lazy.
