On May 13, 2003, the nation remembers one of its greatest heroes, Apolinario Mabini y Maranan. Known as the "Sublime Paralytic," Mabini was the intellectual soul of the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine Republic. He was born on July 23, 1864 in barrio Talaga, Tanauan, Batangas, the second of the eight sons of Inocencio Mabini and Dionisia Maranan. His family's poverty did not prevent him from seeking an education. He supported himself serving as a teacher of Latin in the school of Melchor Virrey in Manila and in the school of Sebastian Virrey in Lipa. Mabini served as a teacher and law clerk in the court of first instance in Manila and in the Intendencia Ganeral. He completed his law studies at the University of S'anto Tomas and in 1895 he was admitted to the bar. Read more.
