If you've been reading my posts since last year, you'd probably notice that aside from travels around the Philippines and local food, I also write about Jose Rizal. I am an unabashed fan. This doesn't mean I dislike other heroes or think Rizal is better than other Filipino freedom fighters. I like them all so there's no need for picking sides. While many are drawn to Jose Rizal because of his genius and flair for writing, I like the fact that he traveled the world and read a lot. And I believed that his journeys (real and imagined) helped him become the hero that many Filipinos know today.
