Jesus said: “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 18:1-4.
Jose Rizal said: I place as a condition the education of the people so that by means of instruction and industry, our country may have a personality of her own and be worthy of her liberties.”
If we Filipinos have only been exposed to the teachings of a terrestrial Jose Rizal, and not exposed to the teachings of an extra-terrestrial Jesus Christ – in our schools, colleges, and universities – Philippine historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo need not have concluded: “Self-deception is the worse tragedy of the Filipinos as a people.” Poch Suzara
