404 Where’s the rest? The revolution begins in August 1896, Caviteños led by “Miong” triumph over the Spaniards in September 1896, Dr. Rizal’s trial begins in November 1896, then the hero is executed on the penultimate day of 1896, etc. etc. In short, this year in the journal covers a major swath of history. Too bad it’s glossed over. (Estrella Espejo, Quezon Institute and Sanatorium, Tacloban, Leyte)
