00:11 It was created by Juan Luna.
00:13 This is not an imagination.
00:15 The woman painted by Juan Luna was inspired by a true story.
00:18 There are two real stories of her.
00:22 But there is another one, her story was taught by a painter from Manila.
00:27 In the last part of this documentary,
00:29 will you be able to meet the true story of "La Bulacenia"?
00:33 Let's find out in the documentary "Nikapuso, Primetime Princess, by Barbie Forteza".
00:38 [Music]
00:50 One of the most mysterious paintings in the Pambansang Museum is "La Bulacenia",
00:57 a work of the great painter Juan Luna.
01:01 Many people thought that she is Maria Clara from the novel "Noli Pitangre" by Dr. Jose Rizal,
01:07 the world that I sometimes saw on television.
01:10 But the woman in the painting, who is known as "La Bulacenia",
01:14 is a real life, not just a fantasy.
01:20 And maybe she had a big influence to Juan Luna.
01:25 [Music]
01:32 Binondo-na-Marahil is the so-called first district in Manila.
01:37 In Binondo, you can find different kinds of business,
01:43 shops, and houses that are considered to be high in the back.
01:49 As a prominent family living in Binondo, the family of Don Sabas del Rosario and his wife Marikita.
01:56 They have two daughters, Pakita and Lolita.
02:00 At that time, the palace of Malacanang was always not presentable,
02:06 it was always damaged, it was always dirty,
02:09 and the Governor-Generals were having a hard time finding a place
02:13 where they can receive the prestigious visitors.
02:17 So what happened was that they were often looking for people who were able to escape from Manila,
02:23 and that's where they would go to receive the visitors.
02:28 It is said that there is a rare opportunity to gather or to tour the luxurious houses of the Del Rosarios
02:36 in Calle Espeleta in Binondo.
02:38 The people and the guests are called to be big and influential.
02:43 The siblings of Pakita and Lolita are considered to be the most important and respected guests.
02:47 The Del Rosarios that were Pakita and Lolita were the "it girls" of that time.
02:56 They were famous for their clothes and hair styling.
03:02 Their friends in society recognized them as fashion plates.
03:09 That's why they were really being adored and adored by the illustrators.
03:15 The siblings of Sinawan and Antonio Luna often visited the Del Rosarios' houses.
03:21 Aside from being good at singing and music, the siblings were also intelligent and educated.
03:30 Because they were of the same age and the same world of movement of Wan Luna and Pakita,
03:36 they were good friends and classmates with Antonio.
03:39 Many people also said that Wan Luna was courting Pakita.
03:44 This is the proof of the many old ties between Sinawan and Pakita.
04:03 The Del Rosarios' houses are called "Malimit Daw" and "Malirimit Daw".
04:06 The Del Rosarios' houses are called "Malimit Daw" and "Malirimit Daw".
04:11 The Del Rosarios' houses are called "Malimit Daw" and "Malirimit Daw".
04:15 The Del Rosarios' houses are called "Malimit Daw" and "Malirimit Daw".
04:21 The Del Rosarios' houses are called "Malimit Daw" and "Malimit Daw".
04:27 We can see the "it girls" of that time. They were famous for their fashion and hair styling.
04:36 Their friends in society recognized them as fashion plates.
04:42 That's why they were really being courted and courted by the illustrators.
04:48 The Del Rosarios' siblings, Sinawan and Antonio Luna, often visited the Del Rosarios' houses.
04:55 Aside from their singing and music skills, the siblings were also intelligent and educated.
05:03 Because they were the same age and were from the same world,
05:08 they became friends and classmates with Antonio.
05:12 Many also say that Juan Luna was courting Pakita.
05:19 This is the proof of the many old letters that were made by Juan and a man named Pakita.
05:25 There is an existing letter that was auctioned by Leon Gallery.
05:36 It came from Juan Luna to his brother Antonio.
05:40 He asked him, "What will I do with the many letters that came from Pakita?"
05:47 In fact, there was a letter from Pakita that was with a lot.
05:50 She was very hurt that he was not being noticed and not being written anymore.
05:55 She felt like he was a ghost.
05:58 The letters were successfully auctioned and went to a buyer who was very interested in history and art.
06:08 Because of Pakita's beauty, many also say that Pakita Del Rosarios became the inspiration of Juan Luna to unite or to sell La Bola, Kenya.
06:20 To remember that he met a mestiza.
06:23 Eventually, Juan Luna fell in love with her.
06:26 Not only rich, not only brainy, not only the Buena Familia, but a super mestiza.
06:34 They were the Anne Curtis of the past, the Pia Wurtzbach, the Catriona Gray.
06:40 So, if Juan Luna had an idea of a beautiful Filipino,
06:46 surely, the brother Del Rosario would enter his mind.
06:51 And because he really knew them,
06:53 maybe as a painter, you will also get inspiration from the people you know, from the world you know.
07:02 But if Pakita is La Bola, Kenya, and Juan Luna successfully painted his beauty,
07:08 it is difficult to get the heart of the lover.
07:11 What we know is that Pakita was courted by Gregorio Araneta and Macario Arnedo of Pampanga.
07:20 He became my grandfather.
07:24 In the early years of 1900s, Don Benito married Pakita Del Rosario.
07:31 But Don Benito Legarda died in 1918 in France.
07:35 That is why Pakita was courted by him.
07:38 It would be nice if we know who was the one who really inspired Juan Luna to paint La Bola, Kenya.
07:46 Because this is a window to his thinking of a beautiful Filipino.
07:57 We should know the story of this because this is the basis of a beautiful Filipino woman.
08:06 And a beautiful Filipino woman, not only in the past, but also until now.
08:10 It has become an ideal.
08:12 Juan Luna's paintings are unique.
08:18 He was fascinated by beautiful women.
08:20 In Portrait of a Lady, Juan painted the house of Spads.
08:26 In Parish in Life, he painted a woman who was deprived of her love.
08:31 But La Bola, Kenya has no real connection to real life.
08:36 That is why he painted many different things.
08:39 Is she the mother and patron saint of Bulacan, Bulacan?
08:43 Or the beautiful daughter of Fraile, the emiliana of San Rafael, Bulacan?
08:48 And it is also possible that the modern and brilliant Pakita of Binondo in Manila.
08:55 The question of the maran still does not end.
08:58 Who is really La Bola, Kenya?
09:01 The answer to that question is probably in the heart of each one of us.
09:08 Women who fight for equality.
09:13 Women who are not afraid to shed their bones to live in dignity.
09:18 Women who have a high value in poverty and education.
09:24 Women who protect their families.
09:26 Women who are ready to fight for the country.
09:29 They are the true face and soul of La Bola, Kenya.
09:33 I am Barbie Forteza and this is the story you need to know.
09:43 [Music]
09:45 It would be great if we know who is really the one who was based by Juan Luna in La Bola, Kenya.
10:00 I believe that he is the one.
10:08 Identity is very important because it will guide us in our past.
10:13 Someone died because of his hand.
10:19 His face looks so sad.
10:24 We will prove that he is the one in the painting.
