    The article discusses Rizal's alleged retraction of his writings against the Catholic Church shortly before his execution. It presents both sides of the debate over whether Rizal truly retracted or if he was coerced. It notes that historians still lack conclusive evidence and that the retraction has been a longstanding question. The author argues that whether Rizal retracted or not does not diminish his significance in fighting for Philippine independence from Spanish colonial rule.

    The ship represents Magellan's first landing in the country, when he brought Ca-
    tholicism with him. because when Magellan arrived in the country, he brought
    with him the Catholicism that still exists today. The flag represents the Philip-
    pines and its people. The thin image of the Limasawa map represents the loca-
    tion of the first mass, so that those who see it are not confused. The gift-to-gift
    logo represents Christianity's 502 thousand years since it was conquered by the
    Spaniards.
