Our National Hero

A tribute to 159th Birth Anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal Soul of a hero ignites, With the use of mighty pen he fight, From the colony of other countries, Hail your greatness, it stays in our memories. Dr. Jose Rizal, your life was an inspiration, Born to defend our beloved nation, You are really an intelligent person, Writing poetry was your greatest passion. The spirit of nationalistic was in your mind, Helping Filipinos shows that you are kind, Your heart dictates to do the right thing, To fight for freedom, history remember your writings. Runs in your veins Malayan royalty, Bloodless revolts spread easily, By your pen that is considered mighty, Shout for joy, Philippine Independence for our country.
