Jose Rizal stamps marked 125th anniversary of martyrdom

By Creselda Canda-Lopez

"Rizal's sheer determination to achieve his goals to succeed should serve as an inspiration to Filipinos, especially the youth," Postmaster General Norman Fulgencio said in a statement  "therefore, we should emulate the traits and ideas of our national hero."

The Philippine Postal Corporation will release on Thursday, December 30,2021 new postage stamps to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Jose Rizal.

With this year's theme "Rizal: Para sa Agham, Katotohanan at Buhay," the PHLPost said stamps featured  national hero's inherent love and compassion for the Philippines.

Rizal was born in the town of Calamba, Laguna on June 19, 1861. He was best known for his 2 novels Noli Me Tángere and El filibusterismo, which inspired  Philippine revolution.

The PHLPost said Rizal awakened Filipinos sense of nationalism through his writings while his death sparked  revolution to overthrow colonial repression.

The stamps and official first day covers are now available at the Philatelic Counter, Manila Central Post Office.
