It is truly sad to see the historical victims of this country, especially those who call themselves Rizalists. They still focus on Rizal as a nobody, comparatively. They are still taught to look not at the face of his powerful enemy - those who had him arrested, jailed, and then executed - the power and authority then in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th century Philippines. Such same power and authority in this already 21st century still making sure that in schools, colleges, and universities Rizal is treated as a lesser man. Specially compared to the great saints of God such as St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, St. Paul, St. John Baptist de la Salle, not to mention the Son of God Jesus and his apostles in the Philippines.
To think that these weird religious characters were all born in foreign countries. Rizal, one of the rarest of men the human race has ever produced was born in the Philippines – another victim - not as yet also the master of historical direction as a nation. Poch Suzara
