Over $50,000 – Dr. Jose Rizal Level

Jose Rizal, the martyred national hero of the Philippines, was a doctor, poet, writer, progressive thinker. Half a century before Quimada or anyone else there heard of Universalism, he wrote Seven Principles that closely resemble ours. Because of his social protests against the oppression of his people by Spain and the Catholic Church, at the age of 35 he died before a firing squad. In Fort Santiago, today a museum, you can walk in his golden footsteps embedded in the earth he loved. With your gift:
