Hudson County Sheriff Juan M. Perez was proudly inducted as a “Knight of Rizal” at a recent ceremony conducted by the KOR New Jersey Chapter and Ladies for Rizal.
Dr. Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines and pride of the Malay race, who courageously gave up his life at a very young age for the cause of liberty. Because of his great love for his country and its people his works and ideals endured and gave the Filipinos during his time a perfect start to build upon the foundation to fight for the freedom that was taken away from them and which was denied for over three hundred years.
