A marker at the Rizal Shrine in the walled city of Intramuros in Manila. I'm posting this sign to commemorate Dr. Jose Rizal's 150th birthday on June 19th.

It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice. ~ Jose Rizal

Oh that's right and also appropriate posting for the recently celebrated Independence Day.
Learned a little history today; thank you for sharing!
Barracks turned into homes for soldiers and families and then destroyed in another war.
Sad to say, I know very little about the Philippine Revolution!
Very timely - maligayang kaarawan, Gat Jose Rizal!
I don't know much about your history, so I googled Rizal... What a man! Very diverse. A shame that he only lived 35 years.
Very nice sign and a great history lesson. Thanks.
It's a shame that it was destroyed after 300+ years, but good that the importance was recognized.
Good one, Luna!
Thanks for the history lesson; I'm woefully ignorant.
