Jose Rizal: A National Hero
(What can I Learn and Imitate)

Learning is everything. It’s part of the life process, it can be cultivated, enhance and if well earn would lead you to the fountain success of your life. In concern of learning, to have knowledge about Rizal’s life is a must for all the Filipinos for it is one of the most beautiful and flawless scenario happens in our motherland.
To start with this long statement of mine let me first emphasize what I felt and what were my expectations toward this particular subject and how it affects my way of writing since I was a writer. So, as I heard that our Sociology was circulated about Jose P. Rizal I’ve felt a little comfortable and ease because maybe you know and I , myself knew that I have already a bit of knowledge about Jose Rizal so I expected it to be just like easy and fun in the best way and I don’t get wrong about that. The first time we tackled the first page of the book and took some introductions from book and being discussed and flowered by our Professor Mr. Oliver Fernandez and I felt like something “interest” bursting inside of me that I can’t help but burst. Moreover, as the days goes by and as we go through to our discussions I’m became impatient in knowing the full story of Jose Rizal life, works and writings because I found it really nice and the poems written by him was captivating ,unusual and genuine other than that his achievements also inspired me but not only me , also my classmates to strive more harder to succeed in life and be free in doing the things we love like what our national hero did. Like Rizal I also love writing poems and sometimes songs about my adventure and misadventure in life yet the difference is the construction because Rizal did well on his poems and some other writings that during his times became stunned and known and gathered prestigious awards while me, an amateur, whose works are just fine at all. Yeah.. it is really nice to express what you really feel

    The last thing I noticed about Rizal’s life is that he lived his life to the fullest. He may had died early because of the Spaniards but he did have a good life from his childhood up until his death. Today, many of us lost the hope of living because of numerous complications we encounter in life. What we forget most of the time is that we are human beings and it is normal to encounter such problems that can hinder our happiness. Rizal is the best example for me for living life without any…

    The film “José Rizal” by Marilou Diaz-Abaya is not foreign to me. I have watched it before and believed its contents. It is amazing to see all their efforts in trying to recreate the life story of our national hero, Jose Rizal. The movie is very convincing as well. However, after attending KASPIL1 classes, I found out that not everything I know about Rizal is correct. After watching the movie again, I found details that alter the truth.…

    II.a. Rizal's multifaceted aspects include his skills, talents and knowledge about poetry, painting, academics, medicine, philosophy, history, law and international languages. These aspects only prove how intelligent and gifted Rizal is even more when he wrote literary articles to attack the Spanish oppressors in the Philippines. Rizal, as a student, manifested proficiency and excellency because at a very young age, his mother was teaching him basic skills like reading which is very important in his foundation in being such. He excelled in every class he was in except when he entered the university run by the Dominicans where blood prevails more than performance. As a son, he showed his deep love and reverence for his father by simply obeying what his father tells him. For instance, when he took the course his father wanted him to take. As a brother, Rizal also showed his trust, dependence and love for Paciano. He treated him as his second father for the fact that they have a very huge age gap. They were always by each others' side. In fact, Paciano is the first and only person who knew about Rizal flying in to Europe. As a friend, Rizal expressed his loyalty and friendliness. He gained so many friends and acquaintances in school and even in the foreign countries. One great example is his friendship with Blumentritt. They write letters to each other when they want to discuss about important matters and their closeness reached to the point wherein Rizal gained support for his novel from Blumentritt. Also, he had a great friendship with Taviel despite the fact that he has a Spanish blood. This shows how good Rizal is in making friends. Rizal, as a patriot, served as inspirartion for many Filipinos during his time. At a young age, he was already awakened by the abusive treatment of the Spanish regime to the Filipino people that was why he vowed that one day, he would compensate to what they did to his fellowmen. He served as the model to the…

    The movie “Jose Rizal” is all about our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal – Hislife and works, his struggles in order to free his countrymen from abuse, until his death under the hands of the Spaniards who occupied our country for a very longtime. Most of the scenes of the film took place during Rizal’s imprisonment at Dapitan wherein he meets Taviel, a Spanish officer, who will eventually defend him on his trial in court. During their meeting, Taviel asks Rizal everything about him and his works through various questions. Every answer that Rizal brought out from his mouth made Taviel realize that Rizal was indeed an innocent man. On the course of their conversation, Rizal talks about the making of his Two Novels “Noli Me Tangere” and its sequel “El Filibusterismo” which are both anti-Spanish Novels that depicts how the Spaniards rule the Philippines and how the rights of the Filipinos were abolished. Rizal portrayed himself on the said Novels – as Crisostomo Ibarra on “Noli Me Tangere” and as Simeon on “El Filibusterismo.”Going through with the movie, while Rizal is telling his story to Taviel, the scene on the movie switches from his life story then to his portrayal on his Novels. Sometimes the scene gets very difficult to follow because of the sudden switches during the scenes on the movie most especially during the time that his first novel was on the process of writing. Rizal, a brave and a man of his word, was never afraid whatever theconsequences he may suffer because of his writings that are against the friars and also to Spaniards. His goal was to free the Philippines from the unjust government of Spanish colony. In summary, the movie talks mostly of Rizal’s life until his death and the creation of his great novels. The actors and actresses who acted on the movie did a great job presenting how it was during Rizal’s time even though the said events in Rizal’s life were just written in books.…

    It has been clear that Rizal was really a person who has a thirst for knowledge, ever since he was still a little child under the mentoring of his mother. This was also proven when he chose to travel away from home, alone, just so he could pursue his studies even if it was against his parents’ wishes. As young as he was at that time, he was able to study and accomplished a lot, and even surpassed most of his classmates. He was also able to go abroad to study some more, all for the sake of learning more and only from the best. He really was determined even if he had to undergo some hardships like having to live with little food and money, not to mention that he was sort of frail and sickly.…

Laurel, the person who sponsored the said law, said that since Rizal was the founder of Philippine nationalism and has contributed much to the current standing of this nation, it is only right that the youth as well as all the people in the country know about and learn to imbibe the great ideals for which he died.

    Rizal is the hero of the poor Filipino that is hungry for freedom while he’s my hero because he thought me to be the best that I can be. Though he is intelligent in nature and I am not that so, I was inspired to excel in any ways that I can be as what his theme in his poem “To the Filipino Youth”, “Grow, O Timid Flower”. He is a remarkable one and I am not, but through reading and discovering more of him I learned that he did not consider himself as a very noble person but he did what he can do in this country. I learned that you don’t have to look over what you can’t do in this country but look what you can do in this country. A simple good deed to your fellow men is truly…

    José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda is an important person in the history of the Philippines and an icon that we can find in every history books in our country. We know him as the guy who dated a lot of women, he was short and not that physically attractive as others but he was more than that. Behind that minute physique of his, is a man that was full of courage and bravery. That same man was the one who wrote two of the most important literary works that somewhat defines us as a nation (Noli Me Tangere and El filibusterismo). He believes that education is the key to a brighter future. Rizal was just a normal person, just like a man that you can see at the streets everyday. He falls in love, values his family and behaves like an ordinary individual. What makes him exceptional is that he stands by what he think is right and he doesn’t just talk the talk but he walks the walk.…
