The Knights of Rizal (KOR) Bahrain Chapter successfully held its 11th Knighting Promotions, Exaltations, and Awarding Ceremony at the Ramada Resort by Wyndham, Seef District.

Attended by distinguished members of the Order and representatives from the Filipino community in Bahrain, the grand event served as a meaningful celebration of Filipino patriotism and a reaffirmation of the noble ideals championed by the Philippines’ national hero, Dr. José Rizal.

The Rizalian Code of Ethics was delivered by Sir Emmanuel Borja Morales, KCR, Area Commander for Bahrain and Kuwait.
