Finding Rizal in a time of barriers, a documentary premiered on Jose Rizal’s 160th birth anniversary on ANC Sky Cable
-Ambeth Ocampo, historian
“Because we have to link Rizal with the present condition. Rizal is part of a diaspora. A diaspora of his time as much there is now a diaspora of our time. We can understand what is now as what was then."
-Dr. Milagros Guerrero, historian
“It was Rizal who saw our capacity for greatness. It was him who seeded the idea of nationhood.”
-Ambeth Ocampo
“Are we not living in barriers?
Rizal lived in a time of barrier. Yet he broke through this to continually reaffirm his humanity and his genius.
May we find a piece of his humanity in every piece of our own journey, in every barrier we break down.”
-Loren Legarda, narrator

Inabangan sa marathon Sunday showing on GMA News TV (Jan 2015). Tinapos sa online replay.
Two favorite dialogues of Pepe:
1. Speech made at the celebration of two artists originally assigned to Pedro Paterno at a restaurant in Europe.
2. "Meeow." when friends did not notice him enter the room in Europe.
I can't help compare the insights learned from the Isang Panaginip na Fili ng Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (DUP Official Page) ni Floy Quintos and from the well produced GMA teleserye.
Teleserye left four impressions:
1. Family is important and is the foundation of support.
2. Pepe fulfills the needs of women.
3. An all-start cast of national heroes in Spain.
4. Situation in the 1890's and 21th century has not changed.
