Overview

If you've gone ahead and looked around then you probably have a feeling of what this place is all about. If not, read on. This place was primarily started as a tribute to Jose Rizal and to expose my fellow Filipinos to his wonderful poetry. Words can be a very powerful tool. It can persuade, motivate, anger, sadden, excite etc.. Rizal's poems although written about 100 years ago are still applicable today. It's timeless and I hope enlightening to the following generation of Filipinos and all who read his work.

Below is a list and a brief description of what is contained in my pages. It's sort of a 'table of contents' if you will. If this is your first time here please take a moment to go over the stuff. If you've been here before you only need to look at it once in a while to see if there are any new additions. Well doesn't that sound generic.

In any case I slave to keep this place up to date, so the least you can do is look at it. Otherwise the one and only web God will punish you and plague you with many a bugs and viruses. Now go forth and wander.

This is my collection of Rizal links. They are a mixture of short biographies and other Rizal dedicated webpages.

Rizal Articles:

Links to Rizal related news articles, essays, commentaries etc...

NOTE: Some of the links I provide, in sites and articles, may give you a feeling that it's anti Rizal and you might ask why I've included them. The answer is simple. I didn't know Rizal personally. What I know of him is gathered from what I've read about him. People will have differing views about who he is and what he represents. I want to show both sides or arguments about who Rizal is and let you the reader judge for yourself.
