₱150
By Renato Constantino
Published by Malaya Books, ©1969.
Renato Constantino’s essay Veneration Without Understanding (1969) is a provocative critique of how Filipinos honor Dr. José Rizal as the national hero without critically examining his actual political stance, particularly his rejection of armed revolution. Constantino argues that Rizal’s elevation was shaped by colonial interests, which promoted a “safe” hero to discourage radical nationalism.
