For Independence Day ‘09, The Indolent Indio is publishing a series of posts that touch on nationalism, freedom, and crass comedy.
This is us cheating by reposting old stuff you may not have seen yet.

Top 5 Things To Thank Spain For
“Bad as they were, our Spanish conquerors did not spend all day dreaming up ways to make us miserable. They made us miserable by their very existence, milking our labor and resources to feed their empire. Still, we have to admit that their centuries as our overlords left us some good things too.”
Veneration Without
“Every settlement in this country that rates a paved main street has a street named after Dr. Jose Rizal.”
Fighting Spirit Award
“Decisive set-piece battles are not in the Filipino subconscious. When we say patay kung patay, we mean our willingness to kill, not to die.”
Divide, and Conquer
“The Philippine Revolution, you say? Which one? The Katipunan was made up of factions that acted independently of each other except during elections and such (and not even then, if Andres Bonifacio has anything to say about it.)”
Nice new layout! Not as indolent as your last layout hahaha!
I assume you’ve seen the post by one Ian Uy about Rizal, et al, haven’t you? 😛
I have, but it was too late for me to jump in. Rizal did write some pretty cool “stuffs,” though.
Lol. You should’ve seen my response, though. 😛
I saw both your kung fu debate skills and the KKK corporate meeting.:)
Don’t call it KKK. I remember Ku Klux Klan, not the Katipunan. 😛
Katipunan, then. Well, dude does sort of have an idea that is in the arae of the ballpark of an actual point. It’s sort of an unfinished revolution, right?
