Luna and Hidalgo belong among these names; their glorious
achievements illuminate the two ends of the globe: the Orient and the
West, Spain and the Philippines. As I utter, gentlemen, their names, it is
if I saw before me two luminous arches, projecting from both regions
meeting half-way and entwining far on high, impelled by a sensation of
sharing a common origin which unites two nations by an eternal bond,
two nations that neither sea nor space can keep apart, two nations in
which the seed of discord sown by the blind despotism of men will not
bear fruit. Luna and Hidalgo bring glory to Spain as well as to the
Philippines; they were born in the Philippines, but they could have
been born in Spain, because creative genius does not manifest itself
solely within the borders of a specific country: it sprouts everywhere; it is
like light and air; it belongs to everyone: it is cosmopolitan like space, life
and God. --
 Talumpati ni Rizal
-- For this reason, in Luna there are shadows, contrasts, dying light,
the mystery and the horror, as resonance of the dark tempests of
the Tropics, the lightning and the roaring explosions of its
volcanoes. This is why Hidalgo is all light, color, harmony,
sentiment, purity, as Filipinas is in her moonlit nights, in her quiet
days, with her horizon that invites to meditation, cradle mostly
rocking the infinite, and both of them, despite being so different,
at least in appearance, are the same in their substance, just as all our
hearts are the same despite our notable differences. --
 Talumpati ni Rizal
-- Both, upon reflecting with their palettes the splendor of the tropical
sunlight, transform it to rays of eternal glory with which they wreath
THEIR COUNTRY HUMANITY SUBJECTED TO SEVERE TESTS;
UNREDEENED HUMANITY ; reason and aspiration in open struggle
against personal troubles, FANATICISM AND INJUSTICE BECAUSE ,
sentiment and opinion will break open a path through even the thickest
walls; because for them all bodies have pores, all are transparent, and if
they lack the pen, if the printing press does not second them, then
palette and brush not only will give pleasure to the eyes they will also
be eloquent orators.
