My opinion on Filipino composers

In the Philippines, we often hear the ever-familiar marches and compositions of legends without ever thinking about the composer. Some of these great minds are often remembered only by the people close to them, or worse, forgotten to time. It's sad to see how we use the works they have created for our enjoyment, often relating with the messages of the melodies and their love for the Filipino people, and yet we forget to appreciate the faces behind the music. Some I can mention off the top of my head are Lt. Col. Valentin Mechilina, Matias Aguilar, Prof. Felix De Leon, Victor Leonardo, Prof. Hilarion F. Rubio, Eliseo Clamor, Amando San Jose, Capt. Pedro B. Navarro, and S. Alejo.

Looking for sources shouldn't be tough, but they are.

According to the Wikipedia guidelines, articles should be made with verifiable sources, whether it can be found online or not. Looking for online sources is one thing, but published material should not be that hard to look through. With technology advancing, physical publications being digitized, and OCR making information searching easier, we've advanced and changed the definition of research for the better. Or at least, mostly. Local publications hold vast amounts of information, but some of them refuse to make the switch in fear of a loss of revenue. It's sad to see some local publications in my city took down their websites years ago because it lacked support from the community. It makes it significantly harder to create articles from our area since there's not much information about it online in the first place. But that doesn't mean they are insignificant. It just means we need to keep searching. If we know they should have an article on Wikipedia, then they should be significant enough to appear on at least one, if not, a few credible sources.
