Los Indios Bravos

Los Indios Bravos

In celebration of National Heroes Month, WIP is pleased to drop a limited cap and shirt celebrating the “Los Indios Bravos,” loosely translated to “Brave Filipinos.”  

 

The “Los Indios Bravos” was an association of Filipino intellectuals and thinkers who helped inspire and create awareness for a nationalistic and revolutionary movement in the Philippines. 

“Why should we resent being called Indios by the Spaniards?  Look at those Indios from North America – they are not ashamed of their name.  Let us wear the name of Indio as our badge of racial pride! Let us make the Spaniards revise their concept of the Indio – we shall become Los Indios Bravos!”

-  Dr. Jose Rizal
