Ultimo: Distintas maneras a matar un héroe nacional
Adaptation of the poem Mi ultimo adiós (My Last Goodbye) by Jose Rizal (1896): ‘On the field of battle, ‘mid the frenzy of fight / Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed / The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white / Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom’s plight / T is ever the same, to serve our home and country’s need.’
