two saturdays ago, a stranger came up to me. He was very dark and very creepy like. He reminded me of Gollum from Lord of the Rings (how did i know that?). anyways, he said to me "Mr. Jose, you're actions are very kind and your words are very good. You will go down as one of the great people in history!" Damn right i will! anyways after that i thanked him and went on my way. Its about time people treated me with some respect around here. All people do is trick me into buying wine for christmas parties. They don't even invite me for poker night!
of course i knew i was going to be a hero. I've written two best selling novels (although most of the consumers were priests who wanted to burn them), I'm a "doctor" i think and i've got hundreds of women. I don't think Tiger and Manny could out-playah me at my prime. Actually the question shouldn't even be asked. I'm probably the most active, elite propagandist. That alone puts me in the top 10. What's that again? who's in my top 10? well im glad you asked :D
Andres Bonifacio - The Great Plebian and Father of the Katipunan.
Dr. Jose Rizal - That's me!
General Gregorio del Pilar - Hero of the Battle of Tirad Pass.
General Emilio Aguinaldo - President of the First Philippine Republic.
Apolinario Mabini - Sublime Paralytic and Brains of the Revolution.
GOMBURZA - Martyred Priests of 1872.
Trece Martirez - 13 Martyrs from Cavite.
Emilio Jacinto - Brains of the Katipunan.
General Antonio Luna - Cofounder of La Independencia .
Melchora Aquino (Tandang Sora) - Mother of Balintawak.
I probably won't go down as number one because i never really physically fought anyone. I don't even think i've punched anyone in my life. anyways... The Katipunan's the real s*** right there. They got some really crazy guns and women who can cut your head off.
Well you could argue that we (propagandists) didn't really do much except to bash the spaniards, but isn't cursing the Spaniards behind the comforts of my home through creative and fashionable works courageous enough? I guess people of today are really hard to please.
Everything was perfectly set for me to be a national hero. I've left hundreds of poems for people to find and for them to know how intelligent i am. I've left also hundreds of pictures for people to know how handsome i am. I've even left a poem before my death. Each one of my works were considered a masterpiece. I'm like Midas, everything i touch turns to gold.
Overall there's really no questioning my ability. The big question is. Would any of the things i've done reach people in the future? would they even remember me? that's the big question. I'm a hero in everyone's hearts. I'm also very likeable.
There's no doubt in my mind i will go down as one of the Filipino greats. It's just probably a matter of time. i hope they make a movie out of me in 3-D, can't wait to see it.
