(KRI)– London, and some members of the Filipino community.

The program commenced with the singing of the National Anthem followed by Ambassador Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr.’s opening remarks and a wreath laying ceremony at the bust of Dr. Jose Rizal. Flowers were also offered by the officers of KOR and KRI and members of the Filipino community.

In his remarks, Ambassador Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr. emphasized that the commemoration is not so much of Dr. Rizal’s death but of the birth of our nation. His writings, particularly, ”Noli Me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo,” catalyzed a sense of national identity before our nation was born.
