    About this ebook

    GUDBYE NI RIZAL is crafted in a mix of the English, Pilipino and Tagalog, ample parts in text language, in modern idiom, with splashes of slang. Rizal speaks to YOU in your language today and in idiom you use because many have forgotten Rizal and so many do not even know him, and those who know him no longer cared for what he lived, stood, and died for.
