Disyembre 14 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

          Noong Disyembre 14, 1762, sinimulan ng bayaning Ilokanong si Diego Silang ang paghihimagsik laban sa mga kalupitan at pagmamalabis ng pamahalaang koloniyal ng mga Kastila at ng mga paring Katoliko sa Ilocos. Matagumpay niyang naitaboy palabas ng Ilocos Sur sina Governor Antonio Zabala at Bishop Bernardo Ustariz. Naging matagumpay sana ang paghihimagsik kung hindi siya pataksil na pinaslang ng isang nagkunwang kaibigan, si Miguel Vicos. Ang mestisong taksil na ito, sa utos ng obispong si Uztariz ay patalikod na binaril at napatay si Silang noong Mayo 28, 1763. Matapos ito, ipinagpatuloy ng kaniyang kabiyak na si Gabriela Silang ang paghihimagsik.

Isang pagsasalarawan kay Moses
na itinampok sa taklob-pahina ng
Time (December 14, 1998).

Larawang Tribiya

          Ayon sa Biblia, si Moses ay anak nina Amram at Jochebed na mula sa lipi ni Levi. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang lolo sa panig ng kaniyang ama ay Kohath. Upang iligtas siya mula sa utos ng paraon (pharaoh) ng Egypt na patayin ang lahat na sanggol na lalaki na ipapanganak ng mga Israelita, ipinaanod siya sa isang takbang sa ilog. Ang pangalang “Moses” ay ibinigay ng anak na babae ng paraon na “sumagip” at “nag-ahon” sa kaniya mula sa takbang na nakita niyang lumulutang malapit sa kaniyang pinagliliguan. Ang ibig sabihin ng “Moses” ay “sinagip” o “iniahon (mula sa tubig).”
