“What have I learned and imbibed from Dr. Jose P Rizal, as a Filipino and hero? “

Student Name: Alpay, Hansel Geno L.

“Whatever our condition might be then, let us love our country always and let us wish nothing but her welfare. Thus we shall labor in conformity with the purpose of humanity dictated by god which is the harmony and universal peace of his creatures” (–Dr.Ferdinand Blumentritt)
The process of building a nation involves combining the heart and the mind of a people. It needs to have the heart of all its people, for it is the collective heart of a people that will give the passion, the faithful commitment, and the discipline needed to endure through times of struggle .Being a Filipino is not just being born in this country, being a Filipino must possess a good character, we must do the best effort to contribute to the entire nation for the better of all of the people and the environment that provide our needs to live and god that give us all the blessing and wealth , a very good example of being a Filipino and a hero is the pride of our country Dr.Jose P. Rizal, a man who is patriotic, godliness, nature lover that must be imbibed to our lives as a Filipino. His works must be reflected because it is a solemn duty mainly because they are relevant to our time and place. (pasigui, 2005)
I learned Rizal use his intelligence against Spaniards the fact that Rizal offer his life and dreams to free our country in foreign domination .and that’s make him different to other hero. Today we enjoy advantages and freedom of his sacrifice that Rizal never experience, but despite of this advantages, he proves to all of us that he is definitely an ultimate example of versatile genius. According to biographical sketch of Teofilo H Montemayor, He mastered 22 languages. These include Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, English,

    Indirect Interaction With The Trout

    My focal species, the trout, has a direct predator/prey interaction with both the shark and the ghost shrimp. In the shark and trout predation, the shark benefits by feeding upon my focal species, therefore, this form of predation is parasitism. On the other side, the trout eats the ghost shrimp. Therefore, the trout benefits at the expense of the ghost shrimp. Thus, this relationship is parasitic as well.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Figurative Language Analysis

    By reading between the lines, authors like Sherman Alexie and Harper Lee use their writing crafts to make readers look more into the book in a deeper angle. Looking at To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, throughout her text, she adds figurative language and foreshadowing to show the readers upcoming events that might occur. Which affects the reader's thoughts while reading the text because writing crafts like figurative language spark ideas and reveal characterization. In the start of the book, the main character Atticus teaches his daughter Scout about open-mindedness. Lee writes, "'First of all,' he said, 'If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point…

    Attitudes Toward Love And Marriage In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

    Modern audiences would blame Paris for not courting Juliet, however in Shakespeare's time Paris would have been considered as behaving in a much more proper fashion than Romeo. Private courting between young people, illustrated in Romeo and Juliet, was officially disapproved of. There are many types of love in the two scenes, for example Paris's love. Paris is the man Juliet's parents think is fit for her; however this arranged marriage does not involve love - love was not a feeling, it was a commitment. Another type of love is illustrated in Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo met Juliet, Romeo became more passionate, seen in his language compared with his language about Rosaline. Juliet also became more independent. Their love was so strong they were willing to die for each other, although their families had gone through years of hatred.…

    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.…

    review(veneration without understanding)

    Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda, our national hero who is known for his nationalism and patriotism usually come side by side with these words; the doctor, the writer, the philosopher, the clairvoyant, and most of all the hero who died for the country. More than a hundred and fifty years ago, that hero was born and history says that he was the one who revolutionized a new uprising. Not through the literal bloody and violent revolutionary way but by unravelling the skeletons in the colonizers closet through his works and writings. Though he died in the hands of the colonizers, he fought the bloodless way and sparked the spirit of nationalism of the Filipino as an individual.…

    Manila and Rizal Jose Rizal

    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

    As I read Rizal’s “Manifesto to Certain Filipinos” I have sighted his consistency and unalterable pronouncement of his firm stand apropos of insurrection deemed as a final, justifiable and only means plotted by his fellowmen; the Filipinos. The extent of the letter is a declaration of his firm stand and detestation of insurrection as a movement; he deemed one as such to be discouraged and never to be considered as a justifiable means to obtain independence. We have judged rightly that indeed he is an improbable person to have any schemes that shows his admiration of a drastic and disastrous reform. His words reflected on the lines mirrored his resistance for drastic change in the Philippine setback. As a person, Rizal was a pacifist by nature. He refuses to delve in matters hinting a want for revolt for which both party will suffer great casualties despite what profit and glory they may grasp in the end. And Rizal was never more right in believing so, for nothing benefited out of irrational and radical force was anymore than undignified nobility. We are right then to have proclaimed Rizal as the Philippines’ hero, for hero’s are not only the ones who have bravely died for what they cherished to believe, but for what they have modeled for people to believe that despite any setback and cruelty we could trounce the likes of which in a diplomatic and dignified way where no adversary can ever gainsay.…

    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.…

    Reflection of Rizal

    There is something faintly disturbing about the fact that more is written, and known, in popular society (and pop history) about how many languages Rizal spoke (and how many women he supposedly bedded) than the importance of his annotated Morga. Or even that there is this pervasive sense of Rizal the Reformer, without understanding that his reforms were designed to lead to a successful revolution. Oh yes, with Jose Rizal we have turned one of our greatest heroes, one of the great men in history, into a small man; composed of tiny insignificant details that does little to deepen, challenge, or broaden our understanding of Rizal in his (and our) milieu.…
