This solemn occasion serves as a poignant reminder of his ultimate sacrifice for the nation's freedom and the ideals he fought for until his last breath. This is also to honor the contribution of one of our heroes, Dr. José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda or better known as Dr. Jose Rizal.  Like Rizal, our nation's hope begins with us. Our love for the country is not only measured by pen and paper, guns and weapons but also by advocating for the good and development of our country.  On this Rizal Day, let us come together and promise to work together to make the Philippines a better nation. Together with the young people, let us unite to pursue the cause of Gat Jose Rizal! Dakila ka, Pepe!

When I listened to it more closely, I discovered that it was more than just your average love song, which was my initial assumption. "So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me; hold me like you'll never let me go." This song line reminds me that it is not a forever goodbye but a goodbye for now. Another line from the song that stuck in my head was, "Everywhere I go, I'll think of you. Every song I sing, I'll sing for you."

It's to honor our beloved overseas Filipino workers for their sacrifices. Their labori
