Jose Rizal, the first hero



“I have always loved my poor country and I am sure I shall love her to the last moment if men should prove unjust to me; my future, my life, my joys, I have sacrificed all for love of her. By my fate what it may, I shall die blessing her and wishing for her the dawn of her redemption.”

-Jose Rizal, A letter to “the Filipinos” written on June 20, 1892
