ABSTRACT : The essay inquires into the contingencies,gaps, and tensions in the process of pantheonization, or the canonization of national heroes, by taking up the case of Guillermo Tolentino's Grupo de Filipinos Ilustres (1911). From the analysis of a portrait, it widens into a reflection on the formation of a civic nationalism in the early twentieth century as Filipino intellectuals and the U.S. sponsored government sought to create a nation-space through projects of defining a 'national history, language, literature, music, theater,dance, art and others.
