One of the casualties of the war was this stunning wax image of Rizal by Guillermo E. Tolentino (later to be first National Artist for Sculpture). This image wore Rizal’s original clothes and had human hair stitched on the head and styled, allegedly, by Rizal’s own barber. It was the closest to seeing the National Hero alive but the Japanese decided to make a bonfire in the UP LIbrary and Rizal who was in the Filipiniana section melted away.

LIKE A BOSS: E-trikes roll out in Mandaluyong
The first time you see them, you’re probably gonna do a double take, but say hello to the future of commute in the country. Introducing the electric-powered tricycles, or simply, e-trikes.
In support of efforts to make a greener future, the government recently turned over to the city of Mandaluyong, 20 e-trikes. These energy efficient e-trikes use rechargeable lithium ion batteries, much like your laptop and cellphones, and can be docked to four available recharging stations in Mandaluyong.
Do you want one in your city? Don’t worry, plans are being made to significantly scale up the roll out of e-trikes by next year.
Also: E-jeepneys in Makati and Quezon City.
