Heroism of Jose Rizal
Rizal course is mandated by ou law under R.A. 1425. It says here the 3 provisions of rizal law. First, Rizal course must be part of the curriculum of our schools, colleges, universities, public or private. Our study must give emphasis regarding our national hero nad his vision of the noli mitangere and elfilibustirismo ( touch me not). Second is taht all libraries and schools must have a lot of numbers of copies of our national hero''s two novels and also other materials close to him. And lastly, is that the board of national education must have teresponsibilities to take charge of the translation, distribution and reproduction of printed copies of the rizal novels. In this article, it aslo says the common reaction of some students regarding taking up the rizal course. Others find it as a waste oftime, while some commented that ist just a repetition of the things that we encountered during highschool days. There are aslo other college students who dont see the essence of studying the rizal course in their chosen field or career. For me, the author really gives emphasis on the provisions of the rizal law wherein the author cited them one by one.
I agree in the comments and reactions of the author who wrote regarding the attitude of some students especially the college ones. This article help other people to know what''s really behind the rizal course and rizal law as well. Personally speaking, in my situation as a college student, this article help me to make my understanding be more broad regarding the rizal law and rizal course. But on the other hand, a sad feeling is there because i do admit that some of us really keep on asking the question " why we need to study rizal course?" not knowing that studying this courrse will give us not only the knowledge but also the determination to move forward and be more dedicative students with the chosen fields we are in right now.

    Plea to the Government

    Rizal is a nonviolent individual, a proprietor of peace, maybe. His advocacy was to have reform and change through composed means, as he was addressing this call to the government back then (Spaniards ruling in the Philippines for over 333 years (1565-1898)). He was never of the same opinion as those of the Katipuneros nor of the Spaniards nor of Pio Valenzuela’s. He thought before he acted, he thought carefully with the notion of dissecting each and every consequence. He believed in the importance and power of education, of learning, and of intellect.…

    Veneration Without Understanding: My Analysis

    Admit it. We are all regarding Dr. Jose Rizal as one of our role models. We look up to him and “praise” him for that slight contribution he did for us to gain colonial independence. It was so surprising, however, that there are, still, a lot of things that we do not know about him and what really happened during his existence. Constantino was right when he made mention of how we are blinded by our adoration of how great Rizal was…of how martyr he was…of how he died for our country through unjust execution by the Spaniards.…

    Rizal Law

    Republic Act No. 1425, known as the Rizal Law, mandates all educational institutions in the Philippines to offer courses about José Rizal. The full name of the law is An Act to Include in the Curricula of All Public and Private Schools, Colleges and Universities Courses On the Life, Works and Writings of Jose Rizal, Particularly His Novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Authorizing the Printing and Distribution Thereof, and for Other Purposes.

    J.P Rizal, The Univocal National Hero

    “Veneration with Understanding” by Armand J. Malay is an eye opener. It revealed me the truth about revering Jose Rizal. It also helped me realize the faux information on Prof. Constantino’s “Veneration without Understanding”. It almost duped me. I was about to believe on what he had written on his thesis. After I read his work, I started to question Rizal’s title as the national hero. The argument that Prof. Constantino had presented was quite convincing and so I agreed with him. But later on I realized that Rizal really deserves to be venerated since he had done great things which are very crucial in the Philippine history. Jose Rizal’s achievements and noble qualities are the reason why people admire him and consider him as a model. I venerate Rizal not because he is the said national hero but because he is an undisputable national hero. Rizal’s precious works on literacy and Rizal himself are still alive in most hearts of the Filipino people until today. He showed the genuine heroism. He is incomparable to any other Filipino heroes and that makes him on top.…

    Rizals concept of the importance of education is clearly enunciated in his work entitled Instruction wherein he sought improvements in the schools and in the methods of teaching.

    He Current State of Philippine Education in the Concept of Globalization

    Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero, used education as a weapon when he wrote the ambitious novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. He used his knowledge, his education, to let the people around the world comprehend the great abuse of the Spanish colonizers to the Filipinos during his time. This is a perfect example on how education can change the lives of an individual, or how it can change the perspectives of the majority of the population. Also, it is a vivid scenario displaying the important role of education in the concept of globalization. How a man who received good education wad able to contribute in the global modernization, modernization in way that he eradicated racial discrimination and promoted equality.…

    Shrouded with the mantel of sainthood and perfection, we all see Rizal as one of the best role models that we have. We look up to him and see him as the praiseworthy hero who died for the country’s freedom. It’s alarming how the previous generations including ours are blinded with all the information necessary to judge whether he is fit of all these acknowledgement that is being showered upon him. After all, he is still a human being vulnerable to selfish mistakes and wrong decisions.…

    Rizal and I shared the same belief that students must be urged by patriotic ideals and by their passionate love for their country, the Philippines, love for truth and proper values of education. Dr. Jose P. Rizal had given proof of desiring liberty for his country, and he set down as a premise, the education of the people. His teachings greatly influence in me. Like him, I believe in people power and consider myself a modern Rizal youth of today, as the hope of my motherland's tomorrow. He is very nationalistic and I want to reserve my nationalism as well. Like Rizal, I'm proud to be a…

    Critic: Manifesto to Certain Filipinos

    Rizal is not only a man with first-class decisions and answers; he is also superior in giving solutions to the social cancer brought about by Spanish imposition. I greatly admire his way of finding education as a first step towards independence; it was a simple answer of providing leverage and advantage for his fellowmen who are entitled to fit such solution. Education was to enlighten them on the best course of action to be taken when the time comes when they have finally grasp what it means to be totally free of a bondage that has maimed them for centuries. credential…

    Book Review

    Of all the things I have learned in our humble university, none of it I treasure more than the ability to see things objectively and contextually. I used to be a brash and outspoken young man always quick to make assumptions and always fiery with passion for what I deemed was right; even when all I had was a premature conclusion. I brought this attitude here in our university and was quickly humbled by men and women that maintained their calm and adhered to logic, not sudden whims and misguided passion. This, I said to myself is what I wish to become. I resolutely set to change my ways and actions. To some degree I think I have succeeded. But improving oneself is a continuous and endless process that every individual must aim for. Even our venerated national hero was not the product of biological perfection and natural wisdom. He slowly, meticulously improved himself with every mistake he made, with every book he read. Like you and me, he is a human being that achieved what he did, not because he is special or was destined by some great prophecy, but because he worked for it. A good example would be in the field of language. He did not become a polyglot naturally; language did not come easy to him. It was the product of a diligent and willful learning process. In his letters to his sister, he expostulated that while in Germany, he had a hard time learning the native tongue. He didn’t…
