A natural hero was born on 1861.

His name was Jose Protacio Rizal.

A gifted child who studied foreign languages

This great hero was the founder of La Liga Filipina.

During his lifetime, there was a war.

The Philippines was shattered to the ground.

Many uprisings were fought against the Spaniards!

All of it failed until Jose Rizal came.

His divine weapon was not a sword, nor even a gun,

But a small pen. A pen so great that it united the Filipinos.

His words inspired the hearts of all.

It spread all over the country like a wildfire.

The Spaniards heard it just like a wind whispering to them.

They locked Jose Rizal in a dark, tiny chamber in a basement.

They tortured him. Oh, poor Jose Rizal...

Yet his hatred grows and burns within his soul.

The Filipinos planned to free him.

They had worked so hard... and it succeeded!

Pepe sighed. "What a beautiful sight."

But he said I'll stay here to represent our nation.

Andres Bonifacio, another great hero, said "Are you sure, Jose?"

And Jose replied, "With all my heart, yes I am.."

The Spaniards came with an army so great

They have to leave Jose Rizal to the hands of the evil Spaniards.

They confine him with great heavy chains.

 Tormented by his life for attempting to flee

And one day, the government ordered his death.

His death date was December 30, 1896.

There he was standing alone under the heavy rain.

Behind him, a hundred gunmen came to shoot him dead.

The leader shouted "FIRE!" and then a gun echoed in the area.

Jose Rizal was shot in the back. His eyes blurred for the last time.

He felt the pain start to erupt up his spine.

He breathed for the very last time.

He looked up into the misty sky.

He collapsed, facing the gunman.

There he was lying dead on the bloody ground.

The clouds wept for his death.

All the Filipinos who watched him get shot screamed NO!

His death inflamed the hearts of the Filipinos.

All screamed "Annihilate the Spaniards!"
