Saintly Spanish Friar was in our midst.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 2 Sep 20

The Filipinos did rally a revolution against the cruelty of Spain, friars included, as epitomized in the Rizal classic Noli Me Tangere. Or so I believed - that that time before the turn of the century was Spain's most severe...

What Happened to occupy Wallstreet?

staycyde @stacysdeadright (232) • United States 28 Mar 17
