Nakikiisa ang HoN sa pag-gunita sa ika -118 taong anibersaryo ng kamatayan ni Dr. Jose Rzal.. Rizals execution, 30 December 1896 Luneta, Manila : The firing squad was composed of six native Filipino soldiers under the command of the Volunteer Soldiers of Maria Cristina (some references counted eight men). Descendants of one of the executioners, Adolfo Pastor Quetcuti, narrated how the captain of the guards put only one live bullet in one of the rifles, while placing blanks in the others. This was intended to ease the guilt feelings of those in the firing squad who believed Rizal was innocent. As an additional measure, another line of peninsular soldiers stood behind them. Quetcutis descendants also spoke of how their family had suffered and experienced unfortunate events from the time of Rizals execution up to today.
