Singapore honors Jose Rizal
July 28, 2008 – 3:58pmEducation Secretary Jesli Lapus and Singapore President S.R. Nathan recently unveiled the prominent bronze bust relief of Dr. Rizal, dubbed "the great Malayan", at the museum located right at the heart of bustling Singapore. The historic occasion was witnessed by Philippine Ambassador Belen Fule-Anota, Chairman Ambeth Ocampo of the National Historical Institute, Chairman Tommy Koh of the Singapore National Heritage Board (NHB) and Mr. Michael Koh, Chief Executive Officer of the NHB. Also present were members of the diplomatic corps, Singapore government officials and members of the Filipino community in Singapore. The project is part of the "Friends to our Shores" program of the Singapore National Heritage Board. It was undertaken with the cooperation of the Philippine Embassy in Singapore.
The two-sided marker bears a picture of a painting of Rizal by Fabian de la Rosa on one side. The other side was a bronze relief of Rizal by Philippine national artist Guillermo Tolentino, fabricated by Peter de Guzman. Only the third of its kind, it serves to mark the visits (1882, 1887, 1891,1896) of Rizal to Singapore. Dr. Elizabeth Ong, former president of the Filipino ladies Group of Singapore did the initial research on the travels of Rizal to Singapore. This eventually led to the publication of the books on Philippines-Singapore relations entitled, "Journey of Friendship". The unveiling of the marker was preceded by a well-received lecture on Rizal by Professor Ambeth Ocampo. He expressed the hope that a Rizal Walking Tour could be undertaken as the next project of the NHB along with a marker to commemorate the visit to Singapore of General Emilio Aguinaldo in 1898. The unveiling ceremony is the beginning of a host of activities to be undertaken by the Philippines and Singapore as both countries prepare for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between them.
