Magkaisa draws on its rich German-Filipino heritage of resilience, strength and dependability and is honored to provide insights of the relation between Germany and the Philippines during the time of the National Hero of the Philippines, Dr. José Rizal.

This time we take a closer look at the statue and sculptures at the Rizal Park in Wilhelmsfeld near Heidelberg in Germany.  The sculptures of the two friends of Dr. José Rizal - Pastor Karl Ullmer and Prof. Ferdinand Blumentritt as well as the sculptures of the two Academic Mentors of Rizal - Prof. Otto Becker and Prof. Rudolf Virchow as well as the statue of Dr. Jose Rizal are located there.


The bust of Rizal by Anastacia Caedo is part of the private collection presented on these social media and located in Dasmarinas, Cavite.

The collector has been in the heart of the German-Filipino cultural and art scene for a quarter of century, following the footsteps of the National Hero of the Philippines Dr. José Rizal and promoting Philippine art in Europe and in the Philippines. 


The pictures are reflecting the Statue of Jose Rizal in Wilhelmsfeld created by Anastacia Caedo (1907-1990), a master of classic sculpture, statuary and monuments of the Philippines.

The four sculptures were created by the artist Libor Pisklák from Litomerice, Czech Republic.
