Rizal said "God or Destiny is with us because we have justice and reason on our side, and because we fight not for any selfish motive but for the sacred love of our country and our countrymen... We fight that justice may prevail, we fight for liberty, for the sacred rights of man, we ask nothing for ourselves, we sacrifice all for the common good" (he wrote to the Filipinos in Barcelona in 1889)
I've read Rizal's Political Vision by John N. Schumacher, S.J., he said that this statement of Rizal spoke of Justice, freedom, human rights for every Filipino, the common good, all of these rooted in God.
Rizal's vision was very true and up to the present these are what we are yearning for, if only our leaders have the same thought and heart as Rizal, then we can build a better government, a better Philippines.
