Ang sabi ni Pepe...

To Jose Rizal, what is the most important contribution of every Filipino to his country’s progress?
The main thing is that every Filipino must be a good man, a good citizen so that he can help his country (where he or she lives) to progress by contributing his heart, and if need, be his arm. (With the head and heart, we ought to work always; with the arm when the time comes when physical strength is needed. The principal tool of the heart and the head is the pen. Other prefer the brush; others the chisel. On my part, I prefer the pen.
