#RizalDay today and I spend it #knitting and watching all the #StarTrek movies in order

#RizalDay

Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida,
Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén!
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida,
Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida,
También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien.

Today, we honor the life of a man whose courage transcended his time, a hero who wielded the pen as fiercely as others wielded swords. Gat Jose Rizal reminds us that change begins not with violence, but with the fire of knowledge and the strength of conviction. 🇵🇭 #joserizal #rizalday
