Reaction Paper About Solomon A Hero
To others, he was a soldier, banker, civic leader, philanthropist, and a servant of the church. He had already touched many lives and inspired many individuals to serve others. The Hero who was once a soldier struggling for peace and order in times of war had become The Man of charity, integrity, and loyalty to his fellow countrymen and to the Supreme One. But for me, he was a doting and ever-supportive great-grandfather who gave us presents during the Yuletide Season and present in all our family gatherings and activities. Now, it’s time to go back to his footsteps in Mindanao to find out how the Flores family came to be.
As Solomon was staying in Bukidnon after the war broke out in 1942, the locals in the pineapple plantation became friendly to him. Soon he met Ester Ubalde, daughter of plantation farmers, and soon became his laundress. At that time, household chores were not usually done by

His family relations, especially to siblings, were strengthened since Solomon sent them to school while providing for his wife and children, with the fact that he is the eldest among their siblings. And also, urgent maters and crises made them closer as a family since he was always ready to help and make things better. Solomon also helped other students finish their studies as distant relatives and farm workers wooed him to provide for their financial needs in education. Some of them have finished their degree in Southern Iloilo Polytechnic College (SIPC, now Iloilo Science and Technology University/ISAT-U), and came back to repay his generosity, which made Solomon remember their names. It was a large number of scholars; however, Solomon wanted him to have a better future and have a stable occupation. Because of this, he was given a plaque of distinction for his valuable contribution to the economic development in Miagao in

    Jose Rizal

    • 947 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Last June 19 was the 150th birth anniversary of Jose Rizal, the icon of Philippine independence. His memory clouded by the geographical and mental distance that now separates us from the Pacific Ocean, which was once called the “Spanish sea,” the life story of this Filipino is not replete with war stories nor victorious military achievements like the historical liberators of the Americas. An intellectual and a man of letters, assuming a role and figure more like that of Jose Marti but raised in a much more peripheral colonial world, Rizal was neither a criolle like most of the leading figures in the struggle for independence during the 19th Century. Born in a small town in the Philippines (Calamba), his family, a well-off country folk, was a product of a peculiar mix of Chinese, Malayan and Spanish blood. But it was in the Spanish tradition that his education, literature and his tragic destiny were shaped.…

    rizal a hero

    • 2078 Words
    • 9 Pages

    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?…
