Jose Rizal's vision for Filipinos at home and abroad:
"Therefore will the Philippines defend, possessing untold bravery, her
freedom fought with much bloodshed and suffering. By means of a people newly born, who will illuminate
her care; and with remembrance of her past, she will strive perhaps to enter openly into the
wide path of growth, and many will shout out together to give strength to the Motherland, whether
inside or outside, possessing the joy of a young man who is once again tilling the fields of his
ancestors; which were destroyed and left idle, because of the neglect of those that despoiled her."
- Dr. Jose Rizal, The Philippines A Century Hence, 1890
