Supreme Commander of the Knights Of Rizal Inspired European Leaders In Prague

October 4, 2025 – Prague, Czech Republic - The Knights of Rizal of the Czech Republic is hosting the European Regional Assembly today at Dou Hotel in Prague, bringing together its high-ranking members and guests from across the globe to reaffirm the organization’s commitment to patriotism and civic duty.

Knights of Rizal is the oldest Filipino organization in the Czech Republic, started when there were only 32 Filipinos living in the country, which is now about 12,000.  The organization is the only one recognized by the Philippine government as the only civic organization in the Philippines created by law—Republic Act No. 646 (1951).

The 9th European Regional Assembly was attended by Commanders of the European Region with attendance of US, UK, Philippines, and Canada Chapter Commanders.

In 2006, the 4th ERA hosted by the Czech Republic, Prague and Litomerice rolled its red carpet and opened the Glam Palace to welcome the visiting Knights; the Palace of the Ministry of Culture, and two of its largest river boat cruises along the Vyltava were moments to remember.   The Rizal Museum in LItomerice was inaugurated, and the Bishop of Litomirice made a very special service and rare salutation of the Order.  His Excellency, personally, played the organ at the Cathedral.

Knights of Rizal have been a strong organization in the Czech Republic, tested by time.  Eighteen years since  2007 is enough to measure a litmus test, Sir Noubikko Ulanday added..
