In a message from the Knights of Rizal International Headquarters Supreme Council, we are reminded of Rizal’s patriotism to the motherland, and his writings, especially the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, that awakened the Filipino soul and ignited the flames of revolution – not through violence, but through truth.
