Rizal
After his sojourn in Europe, he decided to return to his homeland. There were many reasons why he wanted to return home like (1): the bad situations that were happening in Calamba because of agrarian trouble; (2) the cataract treatment of his mother; (3) to practice his medical profession and to be with his family; (4) want to know what happened to Leonor Rivera. His education, work and writings of Rizal including his associations with professors, scholars and scientist made him famous in Europe. He may wanted to see the effect of the ” Noli Me Tangere” in first hand to his people and the abusive Spanish authorities.

He had a delightful trip from Europe to Manila. It was also a happy homecoming in Calamba, Laguna . However, the family of Rizal knew that they were plotting to be killed because of his writing in “Noli Me Tangere” . He was able to live in peace with the protection of his family in Calamba and was able to practice his medical profession where he first treated the eyes of his mother However, in six months of sojourn in Calamba he failed to see his sweetheart Leonor Rivera.

The return of Rizal was no longer peaceful when the controversial novel reached to the hands of the Spanish authorities and the Dominican friars. Those who were able to read just like the liberal-minded Governor General Emilio Terrero found out that it was not advocating subversive ideas. However, the Archbishop of Manila, the rector and professors of University of Santo Tomas reported that the novel was heretical, impious and scandalous in the religious order. I must have known that Rizal was not like by the Dominican Friars even when he studied medicine in the same university. I was further reported that it was anti-patriotic, subversive of public order, injurious to the government of Spain and its function in the Philippine Islands in the political order. There were other critics of Rizal such as Augustinian, F. Jose Rodriguez, including the Senate of Spanish Cortes who

    During his exile in Dapitan, Rizal had a long and scholarly debate with Father Pastells on religion which revealed Rizal's anti-Catholic ideas acquired in Europe and the embitterment at his persecution by bad friars. It is understandable why he was bitter against the friars who committed certain abuses under the cloak of religion. As he wrote to Blumentritt from Paris on January 20, 1890: "I want to hit the friars, but only friars who utilized religion not only as a shield, but also as a weapon, castle, fortress, armor, etc.; I was forced to attack their false and superstitious religion in order to fight the enemy who hid himself behind it."…

    As history has stated, Dr. Rizal suffered greatly because of the loss of Leonor. He endured the pain by becoming a learned man, ignoring his feelings and working hard for the country. Good thing he met Josephine Bracken while he was in Dapitan, and again experienced love. But then again, in here, he was forced to make a decision between the country and his own happiness, and he chose the Filipinos again, which led to his death and the start of the revolution.…

    On February 28, 1888, a year after the publication of Noli Me Tangere, and six months after his arrival in the Philippines, José Rizal sailed from Manila again, by "advice" of the government. The controversy over the Noli took its toll on Rizal. He soon found that he had to travel abroad once again to guarantee his intellectual and personal freedom. He would have to go to some country where he would be free from spies or plots. As he prepared for his return to Europe, Rizal had an intensified sense of his own country. The reaction to the Noli and his own intellectual growth prompted him to look beyond the Philippines to all of Asia. Rizal decided to spend some time in London’s famed libraries, where he can find the sense of the Philippines he was searching for.…

Even though he is our national hero we still feel in need of a continuing dialogue on his ideas, principles and convictions. We know him as a profound thinker and a great doer who love our country and had remarkable patriotism. For that he was called the “First Filipino.”…

    (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) is the most venerated and acclaimed patriot in the Philippines recognized for his unselfish and non-violent contributions to the historical and social transformations in the country. He is one of the national heroes of the Philippines regarded by the National Heroes Committee, together with Andres Bonifacio. He was the most prominent advocate for reform in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era that led to his execution on December 30, 1896, now celebrated as Rizal Day, a national holiday in the country. Rizal was born to a wealthy family in Calamba, Laguna and was the seventh of eleven children. He attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts diploma and studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He continued his studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid in Madrid, Spain, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine, making him eligible to practice medicine. He also attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polymath; besides medicine, he was also an artist who dabbled in painting, sketching, sculpting and woodcarving. He was a prolific poet, essayist, and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere and its sequel, El filibusterismo. These social commentaries during the Spanish colonization of the country formed the nucleus of literature that inspired peaceful reformists and armed revolutionaries alike. Rizal was also a polyglot, conversant in twenty-two languages.…

    Just like the first novel, it had great effects on the Filipino readers and thus, increased more the anger of those involved in injustices and abuses.When he went home in the Philippines for the second time on June 26, 1892 after passing through and staying in Hongkong from November 1891 to June 1892, he organized Liga Filipina on July 3, 1892 to nationally unify the Filipinos. But he was arrested and deported in Northern Mindanao, particularly Dapitan where he lived for four years and twenty four days - from July 7, 1892 to July 31, 1896. In Dapitan, he lived a useful and peaceful life serving and improving the community as a physician, an engineer, an educator, an artist, a farmer, a businessman, and an inventor. There, he finally met the Irish girl, Josephine Bracken, who became his wife.One September 2, 1896, he left Manila for Spain hoping to contribute his medical skill to combat the yellow fever epidemic in Cuba which was his destination. But he was arrested before reaching Spain and jailed in Barcelona, shipped back in the Philippines on November 3, 1896 and imprisoned at Fort Bonifacio, Manila. After a trial, which was a farce due to the hatred of abusive officials and bad friars, he was proven guilty of rebellion, sedition, and illegal association which twisted the truth. The verdict given was death by firing squad which was approved by Governor Camilo G. de Polavieja who ordered his execution on December 30, 1896.The death of Jose Rizal at Bagumbayan on the said date was so remarkable as he was not afraid to die for his country. His love for the Philippines was indeed shown in his last poem which was later titled by Rizalists as "Mi Ultimo…

    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…
