Today is Jose Rizal's 159th birthday!
Pasig City mayor Vico Sotto took the lead in paying tribute to our national hero Jose Rizal in a ceremony held in Plaza Rizal in Pasig City.
Vico wrote, “Pagbibigay-pugay sa ating pambansang bayani ngayong ika-159 kaarawan niya.”
The young public official and son of Vic Sotto and Coney Reyes then related how he and his constituents strive to exemplify heroism in the present time.
Vico continued, “Ang kabayanihan ng bawat isa ay naipamamalas sa pag gampan ng ating mga tungkulin ng maayos at maagap.
"Sa laban natin kontra COVID-19, makikita natin ang kabayanihan ng mga Pasigueño: ...sa pag gising ng mga volunteer ng madaling araw para maghanda ng pagkain para sa mga frontliner, ...sa pagpasok ng mga health worker natin sa ospital kahit na mapanganib, ...sa pagronda ng mga kapulisan at peace & order officials sa ating mga barangay kahit na may virus sa komunidad.
“Nawa'y sa halimbawang ipinakita sa atin ni Dr. Jose Rizal, patuloy na mabuhay ang diwa ng kabayanihan sa ating pang araw-araw na pamumuhay.”
He also shared a video of him giving his speech during the celebration.
