Rizal should never go out of style. In fact, remembering Rizal is the call of our time. Let us introduce Rizal to the youth of today; let us introduce him to ourselves again. His patriotic ideals can help save our nation from the moral abyss that we are in. 

 

As leaders both in business and the government , and as Filipino citizens, let us imbue ourselves with Rizal's thoughts and spread them around like sunshine, bringing hope to those we work with in this arduous task of rebuilding lives and communities in affected areas.

UNESCO Commissioner and noted university professor Jose David Lapuz, UST professor of political science and comparative foreign policy  will be our Guest of Honor at a special symposium about the life and works of our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, this coming December 30, 2000.

Prof. Lapuz will talk on "Remembering Rizal as the First Filipino Philosophical and Intellectual Overseas Worker." According to him, as far as he can recall as a lecturer on Rizal, this will be the first time that our national hero will be remembered and celebrated as an overseas Filipino worker.

A noted international lecturer on the life and works of Rizal, Prof. Lapuz had delivered speeches and dissertations regarding our national hero on various occasions and symposia throughout the world, making his career and travels similarly colorful as that of his beloved hero Dr. Jose Rizal.

An avid advocate of the teachings and philosophy of  this Pride of the Malay Race, Prof. Lupus is the only recipient in the country of the Knight Grand Cross of Rizal, the Highest and the Greatest Degree within the Order of the Knights of Rizal. He is the founder and member of the Rizal Honor Society in the University of the Philippines.

Dr. Rizal later became a practicing physician in Europe and in Hong Kong. He was popularly known then as "Dr. Aleman."
