Dr. Jose P. Rizal statue
Dr. Jose P. Rizal (1861-1896) was the father of Filipino independence and “national hero of the Philippines”. He was executed by Spanish authorities in 1896, but his work is credited with sparking the rebellion that led to independence from Spain two years later. The statue of Dr. Jose P. Rizal by F.B. Caede was given by the Philippine government to the City of Toronto in 1998 on the centennial of Filipino independence.
