Jose Rizal statue unveiled at Rosemeadow in front of local Filipino community
FILIPINO president Benigno Aquino III paid tribute to Campbelltown and to the city's Filipino community on Friday as he became the first foreign head of state in recent memory to visit the city.
Mr Aquino visited Rizal Park at Rosemeadow to unveil the imposing 5m-tall bronze statue of The Philippines' foremost national hero Dr Jose Rizal.
He was joined in unveiling Campbelltown's own colossus by Filipino foreign secretary Albert F. Del Rosario, Premier Barry O'Farrell, Mayor Sue Dobson and Rizal Park Movement of Campbelltown president Rey Manoto.
Hundreds of members of Campbelltown's Filipino community as well as national and local media and other dignitaries attended the opening.
Mr Aquino later attended a morning tea with members of the Filipino community at John Therry Catholic High School.
Dr Rizal's peaceful activism and writing and death in 1896 sparked the Filipino revolution.
Mr Aquino paid tribute to the ideals of peaceful social change which he said Dr Rizal represented.
``No one in Australia has embraced the story of Dr Rizal like NSW and five of the six Rizal statues are in this state,'' Mr Aquino said.
``I also acknowledge the support displayed by the Rizal Park Movement of Campbelltown with the support of the Campbelltown City Council in bringing the 2008 masterplan for Rizal Park to a reality.''
Mr Aquino said the positioning of the statue was an example of the ``wonderful and inclusive'' Australian culture.
Mr O'Farrell paid tribute to the city's Filipino community and to the way they had contributed to NSW's culture and economy.
Cr Dobson said Campbelltown was home to Sydney's second-largest Filipino community with 5000 people.
Cr Dobson also paid tribute to Mr Aquino and his family and compared their struggle in bringing democracy to the country to Dr Rizal's role in bringing independence to The Philippines.
Mr Manoto said the statue would become a focal point for Campbelltown's Filipino community.
``Dr Rizal was our national hero, he championed change through peaceful protest and he is still an inspiration to us today,'' Mr Manoto said.
``This is a great day for the Filipino community and for Campbelltown.''

ESTONIAN at CAMPBELLTOWN, AUSTRALIA - CBD -- SAM_0356.AVI
Went on a tour to Campbelltown, an outer suburb of Sydney (approx 80 km from the city), where the socio-econiomic profile is lower-middle class incomes. You can see that the people would prefer to live somewhere else. They don't look happy. Concentrating on surviving. Lots of aggression in the youth. But I had a kebab roll (was 4 times the size of one in Balmain) and a cup of coffee (was more like a small jug) for $10.
