Swiss gov't installs Rizal markers in key cities

GENEVA, Switzerland – The Swiss government will install 2 commemorative markers of Dr. Jose Rizal
in 2 of its key cities in celebration of the birth anniversary of the Philippine hero.
This week, the Philippines is celebrating the 149th birth anniversary of Rizal. Not known to many, Rizal
toured several cities of Switzerland for almost 3 weeks while on school break in 1887. At that time, Rizal was taking ophthalmology
in nearby Germany.
Ambassador Teresa Lazaro accompanied the ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau team to the Rizal marker in downtown
Geneva, and Consul Ava Arcilla in the Schaffhausen marker near the train station.
The two markers are near former hotel buildings where Rizal stayed, along with travel companion and revolutionary
leader Maximo Viola of Bulacan.
Rizal considered staying in Switzerland because of striking similarities in the culture of both countries.
"I think nung tina-translate niya yung William Tell from German to Tagalog nakita niya yung pareho yung
sitwasyon ng mga tao dito at yung ating mga kababayan sa pahanon na yun under Spanish colonial rule. Nakita niya na pareho
yung struggles. Siguro he wanted to observe yung parallelism," Lazaro said.
Rizal also compared similar struggles that both countries endured during the early times.
While in Geneva, Rizal was warned by friends to further stay in Europe as his novel, "Noli Me Tangere",
was condemned by Spanish religious authorities.
The reproduction and circulation of the book was prohibited then. Nevertheless, Rizal proceeded to go home
to Manila on July 3, 1887 from Europe.

Remembering Dr Jose Rizal in Australia
Rizal Park in New South Wales, Australia
2.2-hectare property in the city of Campbelltown, New South Wales will be developed to become the Rizal
Park in Australia. It was through the initiative of a group of Filipino-Australians and their friends who petitioned the city
council of Campbelltown to name it Rizal Park. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd gave A$120,000 for the initial construction
of the park while the Campbelltown city council will provide another A$140,000
