National Hero.


Today’s supposedly the 146th birthday of my native land’s National Hero. Dr. Jose Rizal, polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish Era. He appears on the obverse side of our 1-peso coin as a heritage but the greatest legacy he’s given the country is the independence that it has since but seems taken for granted by many.
