I already shared to you guys that we went to Intramuros before and I found these pictures sleeping on my folder. I plan to transfer this to my Facebook account but first let me share to you what it look like at Museum of Jose Rizal in Fort Santiago.
Museum of Jose Rizal
It is located in Fort Santiago. It is also called as Jose Rizal Shrine. Fort Santiago served as a barracks of Spanish soldiers during the time that they colonize our country. As what they say, the location of Museum is the location of the final moment of Rizal writing My Last Farewell ( Mi Ultimo Adios). The Shrine or Museum showcases Rizal's life, artworks, books, and people behind in his life. If you want to know more about him, I recommend you to visit this place inside Fort Santiago.
Who is Jose Rizal?
Jose Protacio Rizal is our National Hero. He is a nationalist, a writer and he became the instrument in Philippine Independence during the time that the Spaniards Colonize our country. He had lots contribution to medicine, arts and Philippine Literature, even in agriculture.
Portrait of Rizal
This is our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. He is the one who write the book El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere. There is a Pinoy Series today called Maria Clara at Ibarra, that the story is adapted to one of Rizal's books, Noli Me Tangere.
This one I assume is a signages, or mark of a group of Rizal. We failed to enter inside because it is dark. I guess it represent a meeting room during Spanish time.

This is Josephine Bracken, one of the Jose Rizal's girlfriend.
I failed to get the names of the men in portrait, but I do believe they are one of Philippine heroes.

It is nice to come back to this place, as I visited it during grade school. It is nice to reminisce and remember the past especially if the person has an important contribution to our country. His life has been the inspiration of some of the leaders of our country and his messages for the youth is what I always remember. I will definitely come back to this place with my foreigner friends to introduce our National hero.
