To all concerned brothers and Rizalists:
If the behaviour and conduct of happily ending the Thirtwal-Lasir feud demonstrate the best admirable and exemplary acts in our fraternal Order, Sir Voltaire de Leon, Sir Liongson and Sir Manny Bade could not be wrong in their observations.
Could this be an “eye opener” for Manila IHQ Supreme Council to engage in an atmosphere of “openness” to end its continued isolation and refusal to bring to the attention of every member of the Order what happened to other major pending issues like the Paras plagiarism case, the allegation of racist “Pilipino Muna” policy allegedly directed to KOR Filipino members in Europe to name a few. Everyone knows these were received long before Supreme Commander Hilario Davide left his post for the United Nations.
While there were several pleas from concerned Knights abroad asking Manila for speedy action to deal with aforementioned problems, as of this appeal, so far Manila, to our disappointment, continue to turn deaf ears to their requests. Every rank-and-file members are entitled to know.
I would like to see Sir Bert Nanquil, KGCR and Sir Roger Quiambao, KGCR, two admired stalwarts and former supreme commanders to intervene and play active role to tackle these issues, concerned and problems and helped diffused disappointment, resentment and disgust. Those who got tired of these issues may find it tiresome and boring now but not something they can easily forget! Continued silence breeds suspicion.
AS the saying goes: ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL, Thirtwal and Lasir did it.
WHY CAN’T OUR MANILA INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS?

Dear Sirs,
It's a happy day. Chivalry is after all not dead in the Order. Let's all forget and forgive. No one can actually claim not to have committed mistakes. To say so would be a lie. I commend you both, Sir Lazir and Sir Zane.
Non omnis moriar,
Sir Manny Bade

Brother Knight Zane,
I agree with you. Nonetheless, I admire your humility -- and I feel your sincerity. I think the same way as Brother Knight Voltaire, as I have expressed to both of you and Lazir immediately after reading your e-mails.
There are good hearts in our midst. Let's have them multiply.

Dear Sir Zane and Lazir,
This is indeed a happy resolution to the matter between you two.
I congratulate Sir Zane for his courage to humble himself by his apology.. A man of lesser grade will continue justifying his errors blindly.Sir Zane has redeemed himself admirably before his peers. He is a Knight.
And Lazir not only graciously accepted Sir Zane's but to his credit also admitted before the world his own faults to Sir Zane. Others would crow to the moon how they had won a battle. Instead, Lazir demonstrated an equal humility. He proves once more that one does not need the epaulets of a uniform to be a true adherent to Rizalism.
Thank you both for setting the bar to gentlemanly conduct.
In Rizal,
Voltaire

Brother Knight Zane and Comrade in Struggle Lazir,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -It is early 7:00am in aloha Friday morning and you both made my day. I have read your e-mails to each other and I felt a deep sense of peace. I sincerely thank both of you for showing to the brother knights the highest level of humility and magnanimity. I am most appreciative of the high-mindedness and generosity of spirit that you both expressed to each other. I know how contagious this can be.
With justice, truth and peace, not everything in us shall die.
