Rizal was first established in June 11, 1901 through Act. No. 137 by the Second Philippine Commission, which has the same legislative powers as the Philippine Senate at present.
It was composed initially of 19 towns of Manila Province, and 14 municipalities belonging to the Morong Politico-Military District. Much of these territories, including Las Pinas, Mandaluyong, Marikina, and Makati, are now part of the National Capital Region.
The proposal to create Rizal province from the merger of Manila and Morong came from Dr. Trinidad Pardo de Tavero of the Federalist Party. He saw it as a way of honoring Dr. Jose Rizal, the country’s national hero.

It is appropriate to declare June 11 as a special non-working holiday for the people of the Rizal Province to be able participate in the commemoration of Jose Rizal. Although I think the said province is not the only place that needs to be considered, but the whole country as well since it is for the honor of Jose Rizal, our national hero. 🙂

June 19, 1861 is the day when our national hero named Dr. Jose Rizal was born. After all of the sacrifices that he have done for our country, it’s like a music into my ears hearing this news regarding his commemoration given to him by the people of Rizal last June 11. However, it’s a question to me why they only celebrated it to the place of Rizal? In fact he is our national hero, our whole country should stand as one in commemorating his birth.

I never like President Benigno Aquino as the leader of the Philippines but what he did now makes me liked him a bit. I always believe that is better to commemorate someone on his birth than in his death. For me, birth means hope while daeth means an end. No matter how long may passed, we should always remember Rizal with love and like how died for the love of our country. The past had always to do with the present. Their are things that we must always be thankful for. Without Rizal’s existence in the past, our sun today will become omnimous that will never shine upon us.

Give honor to whom honor is due. Rizal fought for the freedom of our country, Philippines. And to commemorate what he did, it is right to honor him by declaring non-working holiday every 11th of June.
