12 Story Rizal Shrine Jordanian's Gift to Filipinos

Story at Philippine Daily Inquirer--December 29, 2005

Amazing can you just see that!






There are two thigns that can make we can get from this

(1) There are Foreign immigrants (I know others aside from this guy) who find the happiness and contentment in the Philippines. They have acknowledged its beauty. And as we think of it, why can’t we? We have a Korean friend who loathes going back to his country because he loves ours 50 times better. We know of a German who gave up his millions in his place only to settle here and help build Filipino lives. I met an Italian who would highly prefer our native Sinigang rather than her country’s scrumptious pasta. So when we Filipinos are moving out, these guys want to move in.

(2) We finally have a new landmark that will attract tourists and locals like. It will serve as that pride-maker in the hearts of every Filipino. It is a testament to the great bravery our forefathers had displayed especially our national hero whose death anniversary we commemorate today.



Mr. Asfour, you have indeed done an honorable and glorious thing. We the Filipinos should be thanking you infinitely!

God, if this structure is done, I would like to be a proud Filipino and gaze upon it with my own two eyes sometime sooner!

This is our shrine, my fellow Filipinos. This is the symbol of the greatness of our race!
