I highly recommend young Filipino men to read the journals of Sr. Marcelo Del Pilar. Especialamente those who are studying abroad or living abroad, as one can find inspiration in his own struggles while he was a student in Spain, and conducting the editorial board for La Solidaridad.
A man who was given threats, a man who was looked down by Imperialists, yet one who did not give ground, who responded to his opposition with an eloquent tongue, as to deprive his despondents the priviledge of reducing him to their level.
Rizal may have been a man of passion, but Marcelo Del Pilar, definitely, was the architect of the Intellectual Revolutionistic Machine.
I`ve read some samples of Del Pilar`s journals. I have been reduced to tears.
The man is an inspiration.
Marcelo Del Pilar.
