Feliz Año Nuevo a todos. Que Dios nos bendiga a todos este nuevo año!
THIS may be the last time the country observes Rizal Day on December 30. The National Historical Institute supports bills moving the date from the anniversary of Rizal’s execution to that of his birth, June 19. It is more convenient because it allows students to be dragooned into forced commemorations, and allows a celebratory continuum, beginning with the Flag Days that start on May 28, flows into Independence Day on June 12, and culminates with the proposed new Rizal Day on June 19.
MANILA, Dec. 25, 2009—Saying that the message of peace is as relevant and urgent today as it was two thousand years ago, the president of the Catholic hierarchy urged Catholics to work for social transformation beginning “within ourselves” for peace to become a reality in the country.
