Soon, pictures were being taken to capture the scene of the moment that later became sources to be studied in present-day history.<br/><br/> One such event was the Philippine Revolution of 1896. The uprising in one of the four remaining colonies of the Spanish Empire in the Pacific (the others were Guam, Puerto Rico, and Cuba which was already in revolt) was making it in newspapers that was also a product of the 19th century with the advent of faster communication and printing. News of the revolt in the Philippines spread and the information soon needed more than words—it needed pictures.<br/><br/> By that time, foreign photographers, mostly Spaniards, were opening photography studios on Calle Escolta, the main business thoroughfare of Manila. One of them was a bookshop called the Agencia Editorial owned by Manuel Arias Rodriguez and his brother Vicente. Aside from selling books, Manuel was an amateur photographer. Seeing the opportunity of working and earning some income with his camera, he decided to work as a war correspondent with the Spanish press that were arriving to cover the Philippine Revolution. Soon, his pictures were being published in the Spanish magazine La Ilustracion Artistica and in the newspaper El Comercio. It was Arias Rodriguez who took one of the most important photographs in Philippine history – the execution of national hero Dr. José Rizal that morning of 30 December 1896 on Bagumbayan Field.<br/><br/> It was also Arias Rodriguez who returned to Bagumbayan on the morning of 11 January 1897 to take the photographs of the 13 Martyrs of Bagumbayan.<br/><br/> On 21 August 1896, the Philippine Revolution erupted following the discovery of the secret revolutionary society<br/><br/>the Katipunan, two days before. Realizing the existence of a local society that called for the downfall of Spanish colonial rule, the government cracked down on suspected rebels, most of them Masons, liberals, and reformists members of José Rizal’s La Liga Filipina.<br/><br/> Among the large number of Filipinos arrested were thirteen men who were mostly Masons and liberals but not members of the Katipunan. These men were tried for sedition and were sentenced to be shot at Bagumbayan Field (presentday Rizal Park).The 13 Martyrs are Moises Salvador, Numeriano Adriano, Faustino Villaruel, Domingo Franco, Jose M. Dizon, Benedicto Nijaga, Geronimo Cristobal Medina, Francisco Luis Roxas, Antonio Salazar, Ramon Padilla, Luis Enciso Villareal, Braulio Rivera, and Faustino Mañalac.<br/><br/> Whether they were really rebels or not was not the concern of the Spanish authorities. Suppressing the rebellion was the important thing and, with the declaration of martial law on August 30, 1896, military justice was swift. One of the unfortunately innocent victims was the wealthy businessman Francisco Roxas.<br/><br/> Roxas at that time was an adviser to the Spanish colonial government and served as a director in the Banco EspanolFilipino de Isabel II (today the Bank of the Philippine Islands). He was a liberal and secretly supported the La Liga Filipina but<br/><br/>drew the line when he was approached by some of Katipunan members sent by their Supremo Andres Bonifacio to ask for monetary support to the revolutionary movement. Roxas also threatened to report the movement to the Spanish authorities.<br/><br/> Angered by the refusal, Bonifacio decided to take action by drawing up a fake list of Katipunan supporters with Roxas and other rich businessmen on it to pressure them to contribute to the Katipunan.<br/><br/> Unfortunately, the Spanish authorities were already hearing several reports of an underground movement and had dispersed spies and government agents all over the city. When the Katipunan was discovered, those on Bonifacio’s fake list were picked up, including Roxas. Imprisonment and torture would reveal more names, Roxas was tried for sedition in a military court and sentenced to death.","lot_group":"OBJET D' ARTS","lot_details_html":null,"alias":null,"hp":260000,"bp":0.2016,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":260000,"userBid":34,"isPaid":0,"userId":34,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":25362,"reserve_price":0,"hammer_price":312416,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":68583,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/209/242/lot/108.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[220000,240000,260000,280000,300000,320000,340000,360000,380000,400000,450000,500000,550000,600000,650000,700000,750000,800000,900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":107,"next":109,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
