Remembering Rizal
Filipinos all over the globe should feel especially proud of this red-letter day.
On this date, Dr. Jose Rizal, the Great Malayan, proponent of non-violence even before the revered Mahatma Gandhi's time, died for a nation.

Several nights ago, I chanced upon on TV a Belgian national who has been admirably spreading Dr. Rizal's legacy outside of the Philippines for so many years now. Thoroughly knowledgeable in the National Hero's life and works, he recently received an award from no less than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, right there in Malacañang Palace. Through the graces of my unreliable mind, I forgot the good European's name. But rest assured, that man has my prayers and good wishes. May he succeed in making more non-Filipinos aware of how great Jose Rizal is.
Mabuhay si Dr. Rizal!
