Welcome

The Order of the Knights of Rizal Scarborough Chapter is a proud member of some 10,000 civic-oriented international brotherhood serving in various communities around the world. This website is intended to (a) inform the general public about this Chapter’s part as well as those of other Chapters' in promoting the ideals and cause of Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippines' national hero and "Pride of the Malay Race". It is also intended to (b) serve as a platform for progressive thoughts and ideas espoused by Rizal. Lately, the brotherhood has been struggling with what may be described as "maturing pains" - it will be 96 years old this year (1911-2007). At the beginning of the new century the Order began to manifest itself as a truly international organization and as a consequence of present-day information and communications technology, a clash of cultures and mentalities among various chapters in different Continents became inevitable.  And yet as history attests, the Rizalian spirit will remain strong and - under an anticipated new and federally oriented organizational structure - will enable the true Rizalists among its membership to overcome their trials and take the illustrious fraternity to greater heights of glory!

Special welcome to students in the Philippines on research assignment

We are delighted to have you browsing through these pages. We hope that as a result of your visit you are challenged to look far more deeply into the relevance of Rizal today and how his ideals should impact the lives of every citizen not just those in the Philippines but those in other countries as well. Remember that long before Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., there was Rizal who represented and advanced similar causes as they did: non-violent reforms and civil rights. We encourage you to visit often and, more importantly - to interact with us.
