RIZAL IS STILL ALIVE*

Dear Lucien,

I hereby acknowledge receipt of and thank you for the DVD entitled "Rizal is still alive". I wonder if IHQ should be the one responsible to send out copies to all the members so that they could put into correct practice what the hero had lived and died for, for the sake not only of his country but also of humanity, and not for what the KOR officials and members should only think in order to suit their own self-serving schemes for their personal ambition and glory!

I doubt if anybody in the KOR has ever put JPR's philosophy and code of ethics into practice conscientiously? In their pursuit for self-aggrandizement, they must have completely overlooked the true essence for which Rizal's works stood for, i.e. honesty and justice. How this could be too good to be true for there would be an atmosphere of harmony and solidarity among the officers and the members!

Personally, I believe that JPR must have envisioned in his "Noli Mi Tangere" that the "social cancer" could still take place more than a century hence under anybody's corrupt administration which would spread beyond the Philippine soil so that he could fulfill his personal ambition during his "Reign of Greed".

You can already see for yourself at what's happening at present in Europe and Canada! It's only the pathetic "scratch my back and I scratch yours" arrangement that's always taken into consideration for admitting and elevating members instead of what and how much one knows about JPR!

What a great shame and disgrace that this is being perpetrated by his own countrymen who willfully desecrate and usurp his name and image that in so doing have jeopardized and undermined his moral code and teaching. Que barbaridad!

Yours very faithfully in JPR,

Bayani
