This Rizal postal card was sent in 1926.
The printed message on the back is in Spanish, a notice from the secretary of Casino Español in Manila. It says that the Dia de Santiago will be celebrated on July 25 at 5:30 in the afternoon after a merienda and baile in the salones of the building.
According to Wikipedia, the Casino Español de Manila "was a club established in 1893 by Spaniards living in the Philippines as their exclusive venue for recreational and social activities. It later opened its doors to Filipino members to foster Spanish-Filipino ties in the country."
Dia de Santiago is the annual Feast of Saint James, one of the first disciples of Jesus, who is believed to be buried in the Santiago de Compostela, a cathedral in Spain.
