"Through writing about history, Ocampo writes on Rizal as if he happened yesterday. In the clean, cool style of a good journalist...Ocampo is one histrian who has never been know to impose dogmas and definitive treatises. Reading Ocampo's history is like sitting down with a friend who shares what he has learned. But what he does best is to share the certainty of his doubts. Which probably makes him less of a historian. But the history is too serious to be left to historian." --Philippine Daily Inquirer Rizal Day Editor, 1996
