    Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines, one of the Southeast Asian countries. His full name was Jose Protacio Mercado Rizal y Alonzo Realonda. He was born on June 19, 1861 as the 7th child of the eleven children in the family of Francisco Mercado Rizal and Teodora Alonzo Realonda. He was internationally known for his two novels that made the Filipinos aware of Spanish injustices and eventually fought for and achieved independence after a bloody revolution which was triggered by his death on December 30, 1896. The first novel, "Noli Me Tangere" was analytically considered as the "work of the heart" that made the Filipino readers at that time, felt the social injustices or social cancer; and the second novel, "El Filibusterismo", the continuation of the first, was considered as the "work of the head" as it was a political novel.Jose Rizal was not really against Spain or the Catholic Church during that time.

    In a pragmatic status quo where textbooks teach us at early ages to appreciate the events that truly mattered in the development of history, no one of the Filipino blood could turn his back on Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Throughout my academic journey in school, my knowledge about him consistently evolves. If before, I’ve known him as a hero with distinctive title, now I’ve come to appreciate his literary pieces that awakened the patriotism of our heritage. But after such studies and idealisms learned in the academies, the existent thing that we, as individuals with brown complexion, need to augment is the real life’s application of the valuable deeds that were realized a hundred and fifty-one years ago. Was Rizal’s battle for independence worth fighting for? Or did his citizens turn into dependent and reluctant shadows decades after?…

    The Uncertain

    • 702 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Summary: Rizal formerly lived in the house of his uncle, Jose Albertos, when he was still studying in Binan Laguna. There is an uncertain relationship between Jose Alberto and Teodora Alonso, according to Rizal’s a letter to Blumentritt saying Teodora Alonso’s father Lorenzo Alberto Alonso, “was a deputy for the Philippines in the Cortes” and his uncle, Jose Alberto “was educated in Europe” and was also a knight in the Order of Isabel La Catolica. In the contrary of Leon Ma. Guerrero’s research in Spain, stating that they could not find a deputy in the Cortes named Lorenzo Alberto Alonso on the other hand, John Browing says Jose Alberto was educated in Calcutta, not in Europe. Another is a descendant of Jose Alberto, Don Zoilo Alberto refuses to give information regarding Rizal saying that every people can invent Rizal stories, feeling that Don Zoilo was not proud to be related to Rizal. Instead he gave a faded photocopy handed by his maid, an article of an Ilocos Review by a grandson of Isabelo de los Reyes showing how Rizals of Calamba were related to Florentinos of Ilocos, then the 24-year old grandfather of Rizal, Lorenzo Alberto Alonso, had married a 12-year old Ilocana name Paulo Florentino in 1814. Years later, found the same Lorenzo Alberto Alonso in Binan living-in with Brigida Quintos, where they had five children including Teodora Alonso Quintos Realonda. Brigida Quintos and Lorenzo Alonso moved to Calamba where their daughter married Francisco Mercado and had eleven children one of whom is Jose Rizal, then on it was clear that Jose Alberto of Binan was the half-brother of Teodora Alonso, the latter coming from the illigitimate branch of the family.…
