#RizalDay today and I spend it #knitting and watching all the #StarTrek movies in order

I'm on #TheFinalFrontier now and I realize I'd only ever seen this ONCE before (whereas I'd lost track of how many times I'd seen #WrathOfKhan, #SearchForSpock, and #TheVoyageHome all in one sitting)

#RizalDay: Misinformation is nothing new in the Filipino American community. Going back as far as the time of Jose Rizal, misinformation and fake news has found its way into our collective consciousness during crucial points in history.

#RizalDay: December 30 is the anniversary of Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal’s execution in 1896. Rizal was a Filipino nationalist, doctor, writer and polymath.

“On this battlefield man has no better weapon than his intelligence, no other force but his heart.” ― Jose Rizal

#RizalDay

Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida,
Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén!
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida,
Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida,
También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien.

Today, we remember José Rizal not just as a hero, but as a man who chose courage over comfort, truth over silence. His words still ask us what kind of nation we have built and are building. 🇵🇭 #RizalDay

Today, we honor the life of a man whose courage transcended his time, a hero who wielded the pen as fiercely as others wielded swords. Gat Jose Rizal reminds us that change begins not with violence, but with the fire of knowledge and the strength of conviction. 🇵🇭 #joserizal #rizalday

"There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves."

We are one in commemorating the martyrdom and heroism of Dr.José Rizal, whose pen and heart empowered Filipinos to fight for freedom and independence.

"Cowardice rightly understood begins with selfishness and ends with shame."

We celebrate our national hero José Rizal, as we relive his fearless battles and sacrifices that have granted all of us Filipinos freedom and sovereignty.

It is somewhat tragic that we did not have too many insights on Rizal, a selfless well-rounded, talented, thinking person who was a threat to Spanish rule simply because he was not supposed to be a well-rounded, talented, and thinking subject.
