José Rizal (1861-1896) is one of the most revered figures in Philippine history.

He was a
multifaceted intellectual and a political activist, best known for his political writings that
inspired the Philippine revolution and ultimately led to his execution by the Spanish
colonizers.

consummatum est
Rizal's last words were “consummatum est,” meaning “it is finished.” As our country
today confronts numerous unsavory issues, let us not forget that the fate of our nation is
now in our hands, and that our work is far from finished. Let's all make Jose Rizal proud!

He has been instrumental in the Filipino's bid towards independence and several developments
in various sectors. Rizal also made contributions to Philippine art, literature, and medicine,
which continues to fascinate his countrymen today.
