To this day, we commemorate the 129th anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, our national hero and pride of the Filipino people. He was a physician, poet, linguist, sculptor, and political essayist, Rizal authored Noli Me Tangere (1887) and El Filibusterismo (1891), works that exposed the injustices of Spanish colonial rule. In 1892, he founded La Liga Filipina, an organization that sought to defend Filipino rights, which lead to his arrest and exile in Dapitan. He was accused of inspiring the Philippine Revolution, which ensued his ex*****on on December 30, 1896, in Bagumbayan (Rizal Park) (National Historical Commission of the Philippines, 2000).
His patriotism continues to guide us, and with love for our country and fellow Filipinos, we must stand firm for truth and justice. As we are facing corruption issues in our country, we are called to embody Rizalโs courage, to call for accountability, and instill into us our duty to protect Inang Bayan and the future generations. Because to remember Rizal is to resist oppression and confront our struggles.
