In 1998, the Jose Rizal Plaque in Toronto became a tangible symbol of friendship. It was a gift from the Philippine government to the City of Toronto. The plaque commemorates the centennial of Filipino independence. Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the “national hero of the Philippines,” is honored by this plaque. His execution by Spanish authorities in 1896 ignited the rebellion. This rebellion led to independence from Spain just two years later. The Jose Rizal Plaque stands as a testament to his enduring legacy. It reminds us of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom.
