Discover Rizal’s Untold Romances
In Looking Back 16: Queridas De Rizal, renowned historian Ambeth R. Ocampo explores the lesser-known romantic relationships of José Rizal. These essays offer fresh insight into the national hero’s emotional world, revealing the man behind the monument.

A Cultural and Historical Reflection
In the Philippines, querida commonly refers to a mistress. But in its original Spanish, querida or querido means “beloved” or “cherished.” Through this lens, Ocampo reintroduces Rizal’s companions not as scandalous footnotes but as meaningful figures in his life story.

An amazing story for everyone

I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.
