Dr. Jose Rizal is a National Hero to Filipinos. He used his pen and intellect to encourage the mind of the Filipinos to think for themselves and not be considered as Indios. I had the opportunity to visit one of his popular monument in the heart of Pasig City. Thank you very much for viewing.

    Thanks, Carlos. That is what he really wants to tell the Filipinos before. It's like telling them that the mind has no boundaries. Look into your own and free yourself instead of following the ideas of others.
