President Rodrigo Duterte led the commemoration of the 121 st martyrdom of Dr. Jose Rizal in Manila on Saturday morning.

As part of this year’s Rizal Day commemoration, the government also provided different services that include free medical, dental, optical or eye check-up and glasses which were position at the Noli Me Tangere Garden in Rizal Park, Manila from 7 am to 1pm.
