Who They Depict In Real Life
It's impossible not to use our imagination and compare situations as well as characters to real life when we watch or read a story.
But before anything else, I'd like to extend my gratitude to my sponsors for their support, and you can visit their accounts to read interesting piece.
Jose Protacio Realonda Y Rizal, known two be a man to uncover all indications of a Filipino civilization before the arrival of the Spaniards through the help of Successors de Las Islas Filipinas of Antonio de Morga. For those who haven't know what is this book written by Morga, it is the very first book in history to be published which is fully about our country, the Philippines which is obviously written by a foreign, a former lieutenant governor of Spain during the colonial period. Antonio de Morga's primary goal was to document events during the colonial period as observed by the author itself he never knew that throughout the year his book would become a huge contribution to our country's history. Talkin back, Rizal desires to establish the Tagalog culture. This is derived from a sense of patriotism and nationalism and on the other hand, he came across this "Successors de Las Islas Filipinas" book which contains a historical statement about the Philippines society and culture before even this painful colonization. Ferdinand Blumentritt an acquaintance of Rizal gave him the advice to write and publish a book about Philippine history as he also wanted to show that the Philippines had a civilization before the colonization. Use these historical books to annotate and include erasing consciousness about the history of the Filipino as for he believed that we Filipino need a certain identity to differ from other country and not just known to become a country being colonized by its neighboring country.
This movement that Rizal has been made created a huge factor in the Spanish government and considered him as a threat to their power which lead to confiscating his piece. And from this point forward, Rizal chooses to continue writing his thoughts. He started to fight the Spaniards along with his pen and paper and here where he published multiple books regarding his experience and those of his fellow Filipinos went through at the hands of their conqueror's corrupted government system. In one of these historical works did he mean what the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. These two cater a story that is about how we become drowned in abuse of those who have power.
Added to this, in those two legendary books that we have we force in the fictional character that captive not just our attention but as well as our minds. It's unavoidable death we won't compare that fictional character to a real person. As for me, this fictional character that I am going to list below is comparable to well-known personalities in our country.
Crisostomo Ibarra is a Filipino Spanish and the only descendant of Don Rafael Ibarra, a wealthy Spaniard. he attempted to form a school in downtown San Diego and he is known to be a polite, family oriented person, clever, and obviously has a good heart and intention toward his country and countrymen. These traits that this fictional character has for me can compare to mayor Francisco Moreno Domagoso. He gave manila redemption and restoration of its natural beauty. She also has this character of being brave enough to speak for his opinion and face various controversies despite his previous case and verbally announced his disappointment for those formerly city mayor of manila.
Maria Clara Delos Santos is commonly regarded as the embodiment of the ideal Filipino woman. She persuaded Padre Damaso to let her and doors in a nunnery and revealed to have been the illegitimate daughter of Padre Damaso, a Spanish friar who coerced Donya Pia into illicit sexual relations. Maria Clara is also known to have traits such as being modest, conservative, capable of withstanding any harm that may befall her, and she has pure salt in today's reality we can first see these characters and to Angel Locsin. A woman of action in addition to being outspoken and then afraid to express her opinion. She was the driving force behind a number of relay operations, fundraising campaigns,s and advocacy efforts.
Sisa a mother who has arrested lookup in jail and one day later she was pardoned grace period after discovering that his children were not at home he went insane in her search. She is also known to have a heart that always prevails over her mind and is surely a good and loving mother to his family. Nora Aunor, as an actress faces a lot of ups and downs intrigues, and controversies. Apart from this is not just a great actress but she was indeed a great mother to her son.
Elias is the farmer who showed Ibarra the reality of their town's situation and he put his life online just to save Ibarra. Raffy Tulfo a Filipino broadcast journalist whose works focus on government and private sector issues can compare to this fictional character. He help to resolve concerns and take quick actions regarding social injustice committed by people in power against ordinary citizens and because of this he gained the title of "Hari ng public service".
Don Anastacio also known as Pilosopong Tasyo, 's ideas were accurate with the minds of the townspeople. He is no one for being wise, excellent at expressing his opinion, and a figurative talker which brings me to see him in Miriam Defensor Santiago in real life. She is a politician, a critique and an anti-corruption activist. Filipino considered her as the most powerful woman in the most outstanding senator. He rose to become one of the most powerful judges in the country with the most cases filed in his friends especially during the period of martial law even though life and her career were on the line no other judge was there to overturn Marco's martial law instead of enforcing the constitution.
Donya Victorina De los Reyes filipino women who pretended to be a mestiza . She is Llinarez who is only concerned with maintaining her elitist image. Everyone in town. Because of her strange appearance be in a ruthless and fierce rivalry with Donya Consolacion. A short she was known for being pretentious, social climber, and disdainful. I see her in Janet Lim Napoles, a Filipina businesses woman who is believed to have masterminded the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) Scam. She was found guilty of plunder for her role in the PDAF scam, and she is now facing charger charges for allegedly miss using the Malampaya fund for disaster relief.
These given names above were just solely based on my judgment. I just enjoyed imagining fictional characters into real personalities although they still have differences there are similarities to be found. We all have different perspectives but these things that I have been tackled just measure and prove how I comprehend the stories and their character.

Great comparison, bunso. I miss reading the El Filibus and Noli. I do hope that the youth like you won't forget our history and learn from it.
