KNIGHTS OF RIZAL MEDALS.<\/span><\/span><\/b>  A very prolific contributor to the growing
\nlist of Rizal medals in the country is the Order of the Knights of Rizal, a
\nsocio-civic organization whose aims, among others, are to study, promote and
\npropagate the teachings of Rizal and to preserve, honor and revere his memory.
\nA regalian requirement of the organization is for the newly inducted members
\nand officers to wear Knight of Rizal medals as part of their ceremonial
\nuniforms. The Society and its numerous chapters throughout the country are also
\nresponsible for the issuance of varying types of Rizal medals not only to call
\nattention to the twin anniversaries of the hero but also to commemorate certain
\nimportant events in the life of the Society.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Order of the KNIGHTS of RIZAL 
<\/span><\/b>(Rizaliana Magazine
\narticle, December 1951)<\/b><\/p>\n

By JUAN F. NAKPIL
Grand Commander<\/b><\/p>\n

On December 30, 1911, Col. Antonio C. Torres formed an
\norganization originally composed of enterprising young men with varying creeds
\nand beliefs for the purpose of taking care of the annual celebrations and festivities
\ndedicated to the memory of our Greatest Hero and Martyr, Dr. Jose Rizal. A few
\nyears later, the members made it into a formal civic and patriotic organization
\nwith the right of existence as a Corporation and bearing the name “Orden
\nde Caballeros de Rizal”. That was on November 14, 1916.<\/p>\n

With the following fundamental aims, the organization had
\nuninterruptedly existed up to the present:<\/p>\n

(1) To develop the most perfect union among Filipinos in
\nrevering the memory of Dr. Jose Rizal.<\/p>\n

(2) To promote among the associated Knights the Spirit of
\nPatriotism and Rizalian Chivalry.<\/p>\n

(3) To study and spread the teaching of Dr. Jose Rizal and
\nto keep alive his consecrated memory and to make effective his exemplary and
\nexalted principles,<\/p>\n

and…<\/p>\n

(4) To organize the annual festivities in honor of Dr. Jose
\nRizal.<\/p>\n

Faithful to the above aims of the organization, the Knights
\nhave tenaciously adhered to them and made as the pivotal point of their actions
\nas may be seen in their existence.<\/p>\n

Outstanding among the achievements of the Order was the
\ncomplete Restoration of the House of Rizal at Calamba, Laguna. The work on this
\nproject started way back in 1932 when I began working on the plans. The
\noutbreak of the war and other circumstances barred further development.
\nHowever, determined to push the project through and with the help of the late
\nPresident Manuel A. Roxas who conceived the idea of soliciting voluntary
\ncontributions from school children, funds for the project were raised.
\nPresident Quirino, in carrying on what was left behind by his predecessor,
\nissued Executive Order No. 145 setting the project in full pace and finally
\nbringing about its  complete restoration.
\nThe house was inaugurated by the President last June 30, 1950.<\/p>\n

In spite of the lack of publicity compared to other organizations
\nsuch as the Jaycees, Rotary Club, Lions Club, Knights of Columbus or the Boy
\nScouts of the Philippines, it nevertheless takes pride in being the only one of
\nits kind, genuinely Filipino with a long list of distinguished honorary members
\nsuch as Former American Governors General W. Cameron Forbes, Francis Burton Harrison,
\n Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Frank Murphy,
\nand Philippine Presidents Manuel L. Quezon, Sergio Orme\u00f1a, Manuel A. Roxas and
\nElpidio Quirino. Another noted Rizalian is Mr. Austin Craig.<\/p>\n

It is only with dismay that we can view the present lack of
\npatriotic fervor and callous indifference among our citizens\u2014the inevitable
\nresult of the absence of a clear and meaningful study of Rizal the Citizen, the
\nHero and Martyr. Only in reviving that lost spirit of that Great Filipino can
\nwe ever hope to put meaning into the lives of our citizens.<\/p>\n

The different committees of the Order are now busy on some
\nvital projects. Among them is the reconstruction of the Cell of Rizal at Fort
\nSantiago. Final plans are ready for said project. The Committee on Propagation
\nof the works of Rizal are studying ways and means by which they can reach the
\nmasses so that Rizal’s works and teaching can be properly understood, revered and
\nperpetuated.<\/p>\n

Cognizant of the need of gaining official recognition for the
\nfurtherance of its aims and purposes, a bill seeking for a Charter was
\npresented by the Order to our Congress. Said bill has been favorably acted upon
\nand approved last May 15, 1951. The approval of this Bill No. 251 constitutes
\nan Official Recognition of the Order by the Republic of the Philippines. It
\nwill henceforth be known in Spanish as Orden de Caballeros de Rizal and in
\nEnglish “Knights of Rizal”. It is non-political, non-sectarian and
\nnot in any way affiliated with any other organization.<\/p>\n

 The Proponents of this bill believe that with its passage,
\nthe Order can be the most convenient instrumentality by which social justice,
\nsocial discipline and civic virtues can be faithfully and effectively fostered,
\npromulgated and enhanced in this country. The Order will now be able to
\nestablish various Chapters all over the islands which will ultimately solve
\ntheir problem of limited sphere of action.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
