And Travels in the Philippines by Dr. Hans Hack in an album containing the sketches of his grandfather, Karl Ullmer. Rizals sketches were found by Dr. MANILA - After years of being hidden among the belongings of a deceased German pastor, drawings of Jose Rizal were unearthed and are now back in the Philippines, much to the delight of Filipino art and history enthusiasts.

This was the first time a sitting Filipino President has visited the Holy Land.The two nations, the Philippines and Israel, already maintain warm and cordial relations. Jose Rizal ani ang itinuturing niyang pinakamahalagang bagay na dapat matutuhan ni Jose - answers4you-ph.comPhilippine President Rodrigo Duterte recently made a splash in international news once more, as he visited the State of Israel in early September, welcomed warmly by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tamang sagot sa tanong: Sino ang naging unang guro ni Dr. Paris decided to go to acquire more knowledge in ophthalmology.

Like Rizal, Herzl was a writer. In fact, Theodor Herzl was only just over a year older than Jose Rizal. And, like the intersection of Benjamin Netanyahu and Rodrigo Duterte, both Jose Rizal and Theodor Herzl were most likely in the same city at the same time: in Vienna, May 1887.Both men were in their late 20вЂ™s. Currently, around 28,000 Filipinos live in Israel.Similarly, both nations and peoples, Israel and the Philippines, can trace their respective existences as independent nations and entities to two people: for Israel, Theodor Herzl, who was considered the вЂњspiritual father of the Jewish StateвЂќ in the Declaration of Establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and for the Philippines, Jose Rizal, National Hero of the Philippines.Both were astute political writers, whose writings would galvanize their respective peoples to action. The Philippine people, reciprocally, are thankful that the State of Israel has welcomed them in to care for their elderly, and Filipinos enjoy a thriving diaspora community in Israel, where they are treated with respect and decency (unlike the other nations in the same region). Whereas the Western World (including Canada, whose Prime Minister of the time, William Lyon Mackenzie King, remarked on receiving persecuted Jews that вЂњnone is too manyвЂќ) did not open their doors, Philippine President Manuel Quezon and the Philippine Commonwealth welcomed in 1,200 persecuted European Jews.

(Sadly ironic, considering what the nation state of Germany would do to the Jewish people in the decades after the Dreyfus affair). It is his work as a journalist where he covered the Dreyfus affair, where a Jewish French army captain was accused of spying for Germany. Herzl was a journalist for a Viennese newspaper.

The book was published in Spanish later that year.Both Der Judenstaat and Noli Me Tangere would galvanize the Jews and Filipinos to action. In that meeting, Blumentritt continued to encourage Rizal to publish RizalвЂ™s own magnus opus: the infamous Noli Me Tangere, or вЂњTouch Me NotвЂќ, which exposed the abuses of the Spanish clergy and civil guards in the Philippines. Just before his visit to Vienna, Jose Rizal and Maximo Viola, RizalвЂ™s вЂњbestieвЂќ, met with Ferdinand Blumentritt, their only face-to-face encounter in a friendship that spanned many years and many letters of correspondences.

The Philippines would be granted independence in 1946. But the suffering of the Filipinos as a nation would pale in comparison to the suffering of the Jewish people in the same era, culminating in the Holocaust, where 6 million Jews were systematically put to death.But both our peoples prevailed. The Philippines would suffer more as their independence was ripped away from them in the early 1900s.
