Manila, Philippines -- Instituto Cervantes de Manila holds a choral recitation of Jose Rizal's valedictory poem "Mi Ultimo Adios", which he wrote on the evening before his execution on December 30, 1896, to mark the 150th anniversary of the Philippine national hero's birthday.
As Instituto Cervantes's director Jose Rodriguez puts it, Spain has acknowledged its mistakes during its days of empire. It's time for Espana y Filipinas to move on and rediscover each other, as Senor Rodriguez says, "on the basis of friendship and respect."
