  Tess Pagaduan I never get tired reading Rizal's biography ..i first read his book when i was 7 yrsold and took Rizal course in college..I may not be smart enough but his novel and teachings gave me social awareness and love of country. I just wonder if the younger generation get to know him fully or at least read his novels and biography ? Mabuhay ang ating mga kabataan na mayruong pagmamahal at malasakit sa ating bansa !
