Jose Rizal Monument

Jose Rizal standing only as a monument at the Luneta? What a mediocre way to love, honor, and respect the greatest Filipino thinker who was publicly executed by his enemy - the Catholic church. The same church still in wealth, power, and authority over the minds and hearts of Filipinos today in the Philippines. Jose Rizal's monument should be standing not at Luneta, but erected inside our minds and hearts. His science and scientific way of thinking should be what our schools, colleges, and universities should be all about. What we have, instead, is a Jewish fellow known as Jesus Christ - believed to be the Savior of the Filipinos as a people and Savior of the Philippines as a nation. I said it before, I say it again: if we Filipinos continue to be aimless as a people, and rudderless as a nation - it is simply because Jose Rizal's creative way of thinking has never been included as a major part of the foundation of our system of education. Jose Rizal stated it briefly: "Via my country's prosperity, I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable." In the meantime, you Jesus-freaks, we Filipinos have only become unworthy as a people. We have also become ignoble and corrupt as a nation! Poch Suzara
