(July-August)—He is an underrated Philippine hero despite his progressive views on the Catholic Church, women’s right to vote, the rights of persons with disabilities and support for public education.
Apolinario M. Mabini was humble and did not seek attention or appreciation of others. He was satisfied to see the fulfillment of his aspirations without seeing the need to attribute those accomplishments to him, Dr. Zosimo E. Lee of the Philosophy Department said.
For Dr. Ma. Luisa T. Camagay of the History Department, Mabini is a man ahead of his time, “His views were not readily accepted by his peers in the government because those were unpopular, different from the norms of the time.”
Mabini was born on Jul. 23, 1864 in Tanauan, Batangas to Inocencio Mabini, an illiterate farmer, and Dionisia Maranan, a market vendor. From humble beginnings he rose to become the ‘brains of the revolution,’ a title he earned for serving as counsel to Emilio Aguinaldo.
This year is Mabini’s 150th birthday.
Camagay said Mabini’s writings as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister served as one of the voices of the First Philippine Republic, while simultaneously giving voice to the oppressed, marginalized and underprivileged.
