Through his writings and unyielding vision, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝘆 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮, physician, poet, and reformist born in Calamba, Laguna awakened and nation to the power of ideas. His novels 𝘕𝘰𝘭𝘪 𝘔𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘦 and 𝘌𝘭 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘰 expose corruption and oppression, while essays like 𝘓𝘢 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴 defended the dignity of his people. Even in his final poem 𝘔𝘪 𝘜𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘈𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘴, he offered his life as a testament of love for the country.

His ex*****on on December 30, 1896 at Bagumbayan (now Rizal Park, Luneta) turned his sacrifice into a lasting symbol of patriotism and peaceful reform. Today marks the 129th year since Rizal's sacrifice, reminding us that knowledge carries responsibility; the act with integrity, to show compassion, and to uphold justice. His legacy calls us to resist indifference and to choose unity even when silence feels easier.

It’s Mother Phoenix day! 🐦‍🔥🔆

This day, we honor the bravery, courage, and love of Andres Bonifacio for the country. He once stood firm in attaining the freedom we deserve, eliminating the injustices brought by the colonizers. He is a man of honor, no status, no everything. His bravery is a testimony of history that being a hero is not measured by power nor wealth, but by willingness and initiative to fight for the truth, fairness, and dignity.

As we celebrate 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘆, may his deeds be a guiding spirit to us Filipinos in moments that it's easier to be silent than to stand up, and even when giving up seems like the easier path than upholding what is just. May his actions inspire us to be vigilant, compassionate, and dignified Filipinos that uplifts one another and defend our nation’s ideals and principles.

𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀: 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

With our compass set yesterday, November 28, 2025, we came together to understand, nurture, and uplift mental health through 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀.

During the event, we learned that mental health challenges remind us that compassion is a choice we must make every day. We were reminded to always choose kindness, even when someone may not be ready to seek help, and to offer care that reassures, not just sympathizes. Most importantly, we remembered that self-care is not selfish, it gives us the strength to truly be there for others. 💛✨

To everyone who attended, thank you for being part of this meaningful journey. Your presence brought warmth and life to the event, making it truly unforgettable. May the lessons of The Mental Health Compass continue to inspire our words, guide our actions, and nurture the compassion we extend to others every day. 🌿✨
