Today is the 118th anniversary of the execution of our National Hero Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal. We all know from his life story that Rizal was an ophthalmologist, a novelist, a journalist and a revolutionary. His most famous books are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. If Dr. Rizal were alive today, he’d probably be a columnist writing with the top newspapers in Manila and yes… a revolutionary, seeking for political reforms, after all, Dr. Rizal was an “Illustrado” or an enlightened or educated Filipino. Someone in Facebook said, “This is not a country for intelligent people.” This is because even the most logical or intelligent of Filipinos can no longer find logic or reason in what is happening with our nation today… because our political class no longer listens to the learned or the intellectuals, rather they’d try to kowtow to what the masses want.
