I remember when one of my friends relative commented about Rizal, She said ( Yan si Rizal? hindi ko alam kung bakit naging bayani yan, nabasa ko nga dun sa isang libro na madami ding kalokohan yan ehh..) well, he is only a human being that has weakness like everyone of us and his uniqueness to others maybe made him a hero, but I don’t really consider him as a hero, because as far as i know his dids didnt fit him to be a some kind of a “Bayani”.

i can consider him as a cowardly man fighting only with his writings while there are some other heroes that give their best to protect our beloved nation with his bloody hands from all enemies we had.

Well, we have a different opinion, and maybe as far as i know i definitely didnt agree with him as a true HERO.

aUn..ngayon wala ako masiyado alam tungkol kay Dr. Jose P. Rizal..sana after ng sem na to madagdagan n and dumami na ung mga nalaman q..kung sakanya man binigay ang tawag na Pambansang bayani, wag na tayo 2mutoL..mdmi nmn siya ngawa ee.. c:

I’ve got no idea why RIZAL became the national hero. Because for me, there no use if I know more about him. But if needed, maybe, I can understand some issues and stories about him. Now, with you,as our professor, I think, I can realize and understand RIZAL his use in social and application to my life.

As you we’re sharing your experiences with us, I found this subject interesting and I think I can learn more and understand well. Only if you emphasize to us what’s the real use and how we can understand it easy( honestly before, I hate this kind of subject. Im thinking that my mind will not work well to think and analyze, but as days passed, and I met you, whom I found that with you, I can understand well, I love to attend and listen to you every meeting. and now, im loving it. also, as what i’ve loved my course.

while I’m working for this assignment, my mind works very fast. Thinking of what goes next, of what RIZAL can help me and whats my next learning with you. Of what will gonna happen tomorrow. of what will I learn

i hope that at the end of the semester, I will have lots of ideas and learnings about RIZAL,stories and contradicting issues about him. (whoaw! i hope I can understand well)

I will love this subject, RIZAL, with you and my classmate..

I knew few things about Rizal, some good characteristics like the tsinelas that he drop, treating the poor for free and being a good son. But if there’s a good characteristics, there is also bad things about him, like having many girlfriends, and the issue of hurting some of his girlfriend.

But about the issue of being the national hero, actually i don’t know what are the characteristics to be called a hero. But for me, we have nothing to do to be able to change who will be our National Hero even if we want. And about criticizing of some people about Rizal, as a catholic student i can say that we are not God that can’t commit mistakes in during our time here on earth.

And before i end my comment, i must say that all of us can be a hero in little or in big ways, i doesn’t matter what you are in the past but more important is what you are now and you continue to do what is right in the eye of God and in the eye of the people…ü

“We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up… discovering we have the strength to stare it down…”

He also wrote novels, two of his most popular work is the ” NOLI ME TANGERE” and the “EL FILIBUS TERISMO”. which shows how the spaniards abuse the filipinos.

December 26,1896 when he was sentenced to death because of suspicion that he led the rebellion against the spaniards. Before his time comes, he still wrote a novel for the future generations the ” MI ULTIMO ADIOS” ( The last farewell) which calls the attention of the said generation to love our country.

Honestly i got bored of this things about rizal, i want to know something new about him, lets say I want to know his other personality. of course each and everyone of us has our own darksides. I don’t beleive that he is a pure respected person, because there is no one ever existed in this world perfectly except God.

When I was in Highschool I became a big fan of Rizal because. I was amazed about his works specially the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.Rizal truly was a person for his countrymen, he truly was a patriot and nationalistic for he never wanted to see his fellow countrymen being oppressed and being exploited.

He truly was a man of action, he did not only looked over the people nor just tell people what to do, he helped them in their everyday work. Rizal is our hero, our inspiration, our lesson of the past that we should be a man for our country. Rizal was intelligent and yet very humble. Was it coincidence, was it dedicated to Rizal, or is this an indication that Rizal was born to be our hero?

Sa aking palagay ang pangalan ni Rizal ay isang marka na hinding hindi na mabubura sa paglipas ng panahon. At ang pangalang ito ay magbibigay ng inspirasyon sa bawat Pilipino n yakapin at mahalin ang pagka Pilipino.

Nawa’y ang mga kabataan ngayon kabilang ako ay maging buhay na patunay nang sinabi ni Rizal na “ang kabataan ang pagasa ng bayan”

Nawa’y ang asignaturang Rizal ay magbukas sa aming mga isipan na ito ay hindi nakababagot bagkus ay magtitimo sa ating isipan na ang ating pinagmulan ay sandigan ng tapang at talino..
