Answer to Question #250399 in History for Princess

Question

Why is the retraction letter of Dr. Jose Rizal one of the debatable topics in the philippines history?

Answer 1

Because the protagonists are members of well-established institutions that have been actively involved in the production of Philippine history, the argument over Rizal's retraction is a recurring topic in Philippine history. For more than a century, the dispute has raged on because successive generations of protagonists have taken turns reigniting it for various reasons. Because there was so much at risk for each side, they were adamant and closed-minded to the evidence offered by the opponent.
