Francisco Dagohoy on Stamps

-
Image
The native of Bohol, Francisco Dagohoy , has the distinction of leading the longest revolt against the Spaniards (1744-1829).    Dagohoy's rebellion started when a priest denied his brother a Christian burial. Supported by about 20,000 people, he held his base in the mountain regions between Inagangan and Talibon. Twenty Spanish governor- generals were unable to quell Dagohoy's liberation struggle.   There is no document available to shed light on Francisco Dagohoy's birth, his parentage and death. It is believed that this was due to the disinterest of the Spanish authorities to record the hero's life and achievements and immortalize the exploits of one whom so humiliated them. Placido Sinsano, a centenarian grandson of Francisco Dagohoy's brother and successor Maximino, explained that Francisco Dagohoy was born in 1724 in Cambitoon, a barrio of Inabangan town some 20 kilometers from the poblacion.   Descendants claimed that Francisco Dagohoy's father'...

The National Anthem of Kyrgyzstan

-
Image
Kyrgyzstan (officially the Kyrgyz Republic) is one of the six independent Turkic states. Located in Central Asia, landlocked and mountainous, it is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the southwest and People's Republic of China to the east. Its capital and largest city is Bishkek. It also has village called Chekabad. The ethnonym "Kyrgyz", after which the country is named, is thought to mean "unconquerable" or "undefeatable", presumably referring to the epic hero Manas who, as legend has it, unified undefeated forty tribes against the Khitans. The 40-ray sun on the flag of Kyrgyzstan symbolizes the forty tribes of Manas. It might also refer to "red", the colour of the "south country" of the original Turkic nations. The National Anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic was adopted on 18 December 1992 by a resolution of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan (Jogorku Kenesh). The music was composed by Nasyr ...
