Manolo, is this Project about Philippine history?

Because if it is… this is just so cool!

I’m a history nut myself, and I’ve long lamented how little there is out there in terms of really reliable data on the country’s history (it took me time to realize, and after my dad and kuya pointed it out, what was wrong with Zaide…), and if you’re posting stuff that comes straight from the thoughts of the personalities that shaped our country, this will be invaluable.

Now, how to make the kids of today appreciate all this…?

Good start, Manolo!

Would you be able to provide cross-links to other materials/literature, at least on the more significant entries in FM’s diary?

You know, just for added context. Mahirap ba?

Wow.

Are you using wordpress for that? That means WordPress.com is not Y2K compliant — in insisting the use of dates after 1969.

The 1775 problem is a database glitch. Certain versions of MySQL or SQL Server can only hold dates after 1/1/1775. Only later versions can hold dates that go back to 1/1/1.

Any chance the facsimiles will be put online too? There is much info that can be gathered from the writer’s handwriting too.
