ON LACK OF CITATION; ERROR IN THE PICTURE POSTED;[edit]
By: estudyante_blues@rocketmail.com
This article is fair enough. Due to publication constraints, many of our history in Negros Occidental never gone to print. Moreover, there are a handful of genuine historians who made astonishing or breakthrough research on the said topic. And this is the very reason why if one has to write an article like this, most probably you will have to work on the knowledge you have acquire thru verbal history. And if there exist a printed material(s), you may not be able to have one because of its price and scarcity. So to the readers, don't expect a host of citations will be posted by the writer.
One last thing. The picture of the statute shown in this article is NOT Aniceto Lacson but Andres Bonifacio. The statute of Aniceto Lacson, rather, can be found just across the street where that statute of Andres Bonifacio is erected - Talisay City, Negros Occidental. Unlike the full body statute of Bonifacio, Lacson's statute is only a half size statute standing over a rectangular tiled platform.
This is a very common mistake of a tourist when visiting the site. In fact, the most well-known of this was when a former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo visited the place, she boasted and claimed to the national media that the statute was that of the great Aniceto Lacson who was his husband's grand father - Miguel Arroyo (who belongs to the landed elite in Negros whose family is closely related with the Lacson clan). However, someone whispered her that that is not Aniceto Lacson but rather Andres Bonifacio. So, to discontinue the shame she immediately got on the presidential car and leave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.58.149 (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
