Today, we celebrate Rizal Day which was observed annually on December 30, marking the anniversary of José Rizal's execution in 1896 at Bagumbayan in Manila. 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!
