Someone could be using that desk where you left your bag.

Del Pilar gave up his chair for Rizal.

Why can’t you give up your chair for others?

In 1891, a vote was called to elect the leader of La Solidaridad to unify the organization's goals. The vote ended in a stalemate after two rounds, with Marcelo del Pilar and Jose Rizal receiving the same number of votes. On the third round, del Pilar encouraged his supporters to vote for Rizal instead, to keep their organization together.

In celebration of the International Women's Day,  we encourage everyone to know more about our outstanding Filipino women by visiting the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings (ALIWW) located at the Ground Floor of the Rizal Library Special Collections Building.
