Like all the rest of the city’s in
the country, Cotabato City joined in the
simultaneous commemoration of the 114th
year of Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s martyrdom at
the city plaza early morning of December 30,2010.
Present during the said
commemoration were City Mayor Japal G. Guiani who led the flag raising ceremony
and wreath laying at the statue of Rizal.
Other city officials also joined
the occasion together with the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the
Philippines, Knights of Columbus, the Order of Demolay, government employees
and other Cotabateños.
It has been a knowledge for all of
us that Rizal who is our National Hero worked in his own artistic way for
Filipinos to gain respect and freedom from the Spaniards.
He wrote the Noli Me Tangere and El
Felibusterismo which is his way of sharing the treatment of the Friars to the
Filipinos. This books played a great
role in the revolt of the Pinoy’s with the colonizers.
One quote that most leaders of the
country and the rest of the Filipinos live by is that the “Youth is the Hope of
the Fatherland”. I hope that the next
generation of Pinoys will continue this legacy.
