    “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.…

    It was Jose Rizal's Mother who told him about the story of the moth. One night, her mother noticed that Rizal was not paying any more attention to what she is saying. As she was staring at Rizal, then he was staring at the moth flying around the lamp. Then she told Rizal about the story related to it. There was a Mother and son Moth flying around the light of a candle. The Mother moth told her son not to go near the light because that was a fire and it could kill him easily. The son agreed. But he thought to himself that his mother was selfish because she doesn't want him to experience the kind of warmth that the light had given her. Then the son moth flew nearer. Soon, the wind blew the light of the candle and it reached the wings of the son moth and he died. Rizal's mother told him that if the son moth only listened to what his Mother said, then he wouldn't be killed by that fire. “Don’t imitate the young moth and don’t be disobedient; you’ll get burned like it.” – Mother of Rizal.…

    Jose Rizal is our national hero but seriously i don’t know a lot about him. But when I watched the film about Dr. Jose Rizal I was shocked and amazed because of his sacrifice for our country. I though the he was a brilliant individual. He served as an inspiration to all Filipino. During his lifetime, he spent many years outside the Philippines, enriching himself through education, especially in Madrid, Spain. The distance did not diminish nor reduce his love for his country. Far from his motherland, he looked across the seas to find its strength, as well as its weaknesses, in order to uplift it from the abuses of foreign rule.…

    A child acquires learning through their curiosity, and this is one of the ways how they able to adapt surrounding which is consider being their nature. Every child is born with his or her own individual personal characteristics. A child's learning environment can be anywhere at home, in the playground, at a friend's place, in a classroom; anywhere the child is. We grasp the fact that most of children are playful it’s their nature, in a classroom for example; if a teacher is not in control the most likely result is chaos therefore a teacher should be tightly regulated with interesting activities with significant values and should be productive. Children enjoy playing which caught their attention and lead to learning. Also they need to be told exactly what the adult expect of them as well as what will happen if they don't do what they're told. Because of this the child will be guided on what should be the right things to do though it might put pressure to them but has actually a dramatic impact to their lives. Moreover they wanted to be praise by others and one of the ways is giving them rewards or the so called reinforcement. This is common defense of educator to keep the child acting that way. These are some of the description and glimpse of understanding about nature of child because the child is view as originally an empty organism that learns to incorporate behaviors on the basis of external factors.…
