    Apolinario Mabini was a Filipino lawyer and revolutionary who played a key role in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. He advised General Emilio Aguinaldo and wrote plans for how to conduct the revolution despite being paralyzed from the waist down. After the Philippine-American War broke out in 1899, Mabini was imprisoned by American soldiers but continued writing documents opposing American rule. He was eventually exiled from the Philippines but returned in 1902 on the condition that he pledge allegiance to the U.S., which he initially declined before accepting. Mabini died just over a year later at the age of 39, having dedicated his life to advocating for Philippine independence.

    Apolinario Mabini
    Apolinario Mabini was called sublime
    paralytic. He was born on July 23, 1864 in
    Talaga, Tanauan, Batangas and died on May 13,
    1903 at the age of 39. He was the second to the
    eldest of eight children of a big family. He
    finished his studies in Manila. In 1885, he
    became a full-pledged lawyer. He became sick
    soon, both his legs were paralyzed. The
    Philippine Revolution broke out in 1998. He
    stayed in Los Baños, Laguna. While recuperating
    from his illness, he immediately wrote a plan on
    what the Filipinos should do. Gen. Emilio
    Aguinaldo read his plan and the sick man advised
    the general on how to conduct the revolution. The
    small, lean paralytic thus became the “Brains of the Revolution.” He wrote two
    documents: the “Constitutional Program of the Philippine Republic” and “The True
    Decalogue.” He said in The True Decalogue, “Many speak of liberty without
    understanding it. Many believe that liberty is a license to do wrong. Liberty is only for
    good and never for evil.” The Filipino-American War broke out in 1899. Mabini was
    captured by the American soldiers in Nueva Ecija. He was imprisoned in Manila but this
    did not stop his listless spirit. He wrote the “Rise and Fall of the Philippine Republic”
    while in prison. The Americans released him in September 1900. While living in a small
    house in Nagtahan, Manila, he wrote for the newspaper, El Liberal. The Americans in the
    Philippines did not like his articles. He was soon exiled to the island of Guam. Mabini
    was informed that he could go back to the Philippines in 1902. But that could only be
    done if he would take an oat of allegiance to the US Government. Mabini did not have a
    second thought. He declined the offer and preferred his exile. But later, believing that he
    could again serve his country best by accepting the American Rule, he was finally
    persuaded to take his oath. He went back to the Philippines in 1903. About four months
    later, he died. That was on May 13, 1903, at the age of 39. Until his death, he wanted to
    express his love for his country.

    I choose him because he is brave, wise, and hardworking. He is brave because he


    is not afraid of the Americans. He is wise because he is the one who wrote the plans for
    the Revolution against the Americans. And he is hardworking because he finished his
    studies. I learned that I must be brave and hardworking for the future of my fellow
    Filipinos.
