MABINI'S WISDOM: BLAME OTHERS EXCEPT HIMSELF
"And so we come to the juridical Mabini of the last days, sternly pronouncing judgement, as the paralysis crept up from limb to heart, on the tragedy of the Revolution.
The gentry was to blame, the clergy was to blame, the ilustrados were to blame. Congress was to blame, the Constitution was to blame, the generals were to blame, the troops were to blame—and most of all AGUINALDO was to blame for being such an idol of wax. EVERYBODY WAS TO BLAME. EXCEPT MABINI."
