Ultimo Adios to Ultimo Addio to Huling Pahimakas (Braille)

   A different kind of experience...

   Would you like to find out what's new at the Rizal Shrine Fort Santiago this coming November?  Another great experience to look forward because the Italian Embassy in collaboration with the Department of European Languages, University of the Philippines will  post  two brass plaques as a gift to Rizal Shrine Fort Santiago- National Historical Commission of the Philippines on November 14, 2011 as a celebration of two very important events in the Italian and Philippine history- the 150th year since the Unification of Italy and Jose Rizal's 150th birthday.  The first plaque is the Italian translation of Jose Rizal's Ultimo Adios and the next is the Braille transcription of the Filipino version by Andres Bonifacio.

     I salute the Italian Embassy for initiating such a great idea; giving a chance for the blind people to read one of Rizal's famous writings and giving them a chance to have a cavernous understanding on the Rizal persona.  With one of our guests visiting the shrine, it will also be interesting for the Italian nationals to stay and ponder on the good work of Rizal.

     I always wish these events to continue for these will also continue to present our country as an immense and outstanding kind in the whole world because of the foremost Filipino, JOSE RIZAL.
