Historians need to bridge the present and the past, the old and the new, the young ones and the young once. Everyone knows Rizal from his favorite photo taken in Madrid in 1890 (left), but if he lived in Manila in 2015 he would look different (right). Both photos can be found on the internet, but making the connection is what makes history relevant to our times. (Modern Rizal courtesy of Justine Nepomucano Cruz) Pls share.
