Today, we commemorate the enduring legacy of our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, whose life and sacrifice continue to inspire the nation. This year’s theme, “Rizal sa Bagong Pilipinas: Buhay at Aral, Aming Nilalandas,” calls us to reflect on his timeless teachings and their relevance in building a just, compassionate, and empowered society.
As Lourdesians, we are challenged to embody Rizal’s virtues as Christian leaders and proactive community builders, striving to be a beacon of faith, excellence, and service in helping shape our country’s future.
May his ideals guide us in paving the way for a new and better Philippines!
