Everything you think is a historical fact is actually just a judgment call made by a historian.
We call this multiperspectivity, and it changes the entire narrative. Take the Battle of Mactan.
Spanish records painted Magellan as a tragic hero, but for us, Lapu-Lapu was just
defending his turf from an invader. Then there’s the drama with Rizal. Did he actually
retract his anti-Catholic writings before the firing squad? The Church found a document thirty
years later, but the handwriting is sketchy at best. Even the start of the revolution is
a mess—was it Balintawak or Pugadlawin? History isn't a fixed script; it’s a debate that never
actually ends.
