Rizal Mania Hits Simply Manila

We recently celebrated the 150th birthday of Jose Rizal but what do we know about this guy? A lot of diehard Rizal fans may know everything, but regular guys like us know just about enough to say that he’s a true hero worthy of such commemorations. While some opted to worship Rizal’s greatness through weird cults and in other bizarrely ways, I could simply agree that it’s always good that we have someone to look up to. What I am more curious about though doesn’t have to do with his works and achievements; I am more interested on his appearance which until now remains as vague as Jesus’ real face. Hmm, interesting comparison, eh? Both of them have been unfairly executed and their childhood days are somewhat a mystery. I’ll let my minions do some homework. LOL. Check out some actors who recently portrayed the national hero in movies and musical plays plus some cool Rizal arts by Team Manila after the jump.

He was a (rumored) lover of Blumentritt. He's also into incest and conned Bracken's stepdad with an operation. But we can always look up to pacquiao, a womanizing gambler, right?
