Motivation
1. How much do you know the characteristics of Dr. Jose P. Rizal? Is this man truly an
exceptional person? Elaborate your answer. (10 pts.)
Answer:
My knowledge about Dr. Jose P. Rizal is that he is the National hero of the Philippines
and because of his novels the Noli Me Tanģere and El filibusterismo the Philippine
achieved the freedom under the Spanish Era. Yes, I can say that Dr. Jose P. Rizal is
truly an exceptional person because without him, his knowledge, bravery and love for
our country, without of his sacrifices the Philippine is still in the hands of Spanish
colony. For me, he is like a warrior and soldier that willing to serve, protect and gain the
peace and the freedom for our country.
2. In your own opinion, what do you think of our present and future condition as a nation
or country without Dr. Jose P. Rizal? How significant is the life and works of Rizal in
shaping our destiny as a sovereign nation?
Answer:
In my own opinion without Dr. Jose P. Rizal our condition as a nation or country will be
miserable because as we all know he is one of the first opponents of such regulations
and he was both outspoken and actively participating in different manifestations to
denounce the injustice. Dr. Jose Rizal mandates educational institutions in the
Philippines to offer a course about the works, and life of Rizal, particularly his books the
Noli and El Fili. Primarily, Rizal as one of the most noble and idealistic Filipino of all time
is worthy to be known. His ideals, principles and lifestyle is worthy of emulation. Every
Filipinos or any other races of the today's generation, could be well inspired about him,
and I speak he is truly a legend. His works, particularly Noli and El Fili, its his soul, this
is where he spends his life.

Dr. Jose P. Rizal sees that the Philippines is still in the needs to slink off from the
corruption, abusive superstition and graft of the government. That is why he adopt the
competitive government that will ensure that only qualified individuals regardless of race
could serve in the government and so also he made a way through his wring and novel
to support the Filipinos in corruption, abusive superstition and graft of the government.

Motivation
1. In your own opinion, do you think that the Rizal course is still a relevant subject in our
present time? And Why?
Answer:
In my own opinion I think Rizal course is very relevant subject in our present time
because in this way we can know and get information how this hero contributed in our
country and because of his input towards the independence of Philippine. He chose to
fight for his country through his knowledge and the power of letters. By studying the
lives of our heroes such Dr. Jose Rizal we are supposed to become more aware of the
ideals that our country is founded upon.
2. What is your reaction about this - “Rizal is an American made Hero”.

Answer:
For me, it is disrespectful for us Filipinos because we all know that Dr. Jose P. Rizal is a
Filipino hero and he fought from freedom in a quiet and powerful way and obviously he
expressed his love for the Philippines through his novels, essay, articles and poetry
rather than power of invasion.

Exercise 2: What is your JUDGEMENT?
Where will you stand on the following issues? Church or Government

1. Death Penalty
Answer:
Governments have lots of different things to think about when they're deciding
whether or not to sentence a person to death - or whether to even have the death
penalty in their country at all. And one of those things is money.
If someone has killed another person, you might think it’s fair that they suffer the
same punishment. After all, we shouldn’t forget the old-fashioned principle lex
talionis, a Latin phrase which loosely translated means ‘an eye for an eye’. It
might also help the victim’s family get closure. If someone in your family had
been murdered, you might feel that it’s only right that they die too (this is known
as retribution). It might help you grieve and move on from their death if you knew
the person who had killed them was gone too.
The death penalty makes it impossible for criminals to do bad things over and
over again. Executing someone permanently stops the worst criminals and
means we can all feel safer, as they can’t commit any more crimes. It also scares
other people who might be thinking about committing a crime and so it serves as
a 'deterrence'. If you knew you would be put to death if you killed someone, you’d
probably be less inclined to do it. It’s the ultimate warning and hopes to put other
offenders off. Therefore, I stand for GOVERNMENT.

2. Divorce
Answer:
Divorce is for people that make mistakes and should be used by more people
rather than live in pain and agony for twenty or thirty years. I strongly believe that
divorce should be legal in this country. Marriage is not just a religious concept
okay? There are two ways to look at marriage. You either get married because
you want it to become legal and official in order to get the benefits or you want to
declare your love in the eyes of your God. For short there is civil marriage and
church marriage. Divorce should be legal in the first place. Anyone who said
otherwise is probably not married and never experienced bad marriages
themselves. Therefore, I stand for GOVERNMENT.
3. Legality of Same Sex Marriage

Answer:
Yes, I do support same-sex marriage because people should be allowed
to marry no matter what race, gender, or sexuality they are. Marriage is defined
as ‘the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a
personal relationship’, even if they are the same sex it is still united, two people.
So, therefore, two females, two males, a male and a female, any genders should
be allowed to marry.
Simply put, there should be no stigma attached to sexual orientation and
no social/legal barriers that disadvantage anyone on that basis. If someone
stands on a soapbox and declares there should be, run that person out of town,
not the innocent victim of their malice.
