Garibay presided over the simple rites at the chancery with the Knights of Rizal and Kababaihang Rizalista in Ottawa as special guests.  In his welcome remarks, CDA Garibay recalled the history of Rizal day as a national day of mourning not only for the fallen hero but also for other victims of colonial rule.  <\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the anniversary theme \u201cDunong at Pusong Pilipino\u201d, Garibay extolled Filipinos abroad for their world-class capabilities and outstanding work ethic.  Citing love for country as central to Rizal\u2019s legacy, he enjoined members of the Filipino community in Ottawa to honor Rizal\u2019s martyrdom with selfless acts for country such as extending humanitarian relief in times of disaster, performing civic duties including registering for Overseas Voting and projecting a positive image of our people.<\/p>\n<p>Following the wreath offering by the Knights of Rizal, the embassy sustained the national hero\u2019s relevance and connection to Filipino youth through timeless stories about the young Rizal.  Shine Tejada and Gian Paolo Bragais, children of embassy staff, read the stories of the moth and Rizal the Poet, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take pride in joining Filipino communities around the world in commemorating the martyrdom of our beloved national hero.  Let us continue to immortalize Dr. Jose Rizal with altruistic deeds that bare our dunong at pusong Pinoy,\u201d CDA Garibay stated.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philippine Embassy officers and staff The Philippine Embassy in Ottawa recently led members of the Filipino community in paying tribute &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":37959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1481],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-comm","mauthors-philippine-embassy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
