ESSAY: 5 points. In just 5 sentences make an essay about the matter below. (In answering use the back sheet if necessary)
Given a chance to acquire one of Rizal’s capabilities, how would you apply it as a student?
One of Rizal’s notable capabilities is polyglotism. He was able to learn 22 languages, and that for me is superb. Learning
different languages is tantamount to learning and understanding different cultures, which lead to a deeper international
understanding. I am an IT student, and my concern is more on ICT matters, but I also love learning languages. If given the
chance to acquire it, I would apply polyglotism in speaking engagements in international scale to convey my thoughts and
knowledge on my expertise.

ESSAY: In just 5 sentences explain the following statement below.

1. Explain why Dr. Jose Rizal was sentenced to death.

Dr. Jose Rizal was accused of three crimes: rebellion, sedition and illegal association. He was thought as a traitor
against the Spaniards due to his published two novels: the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. He tried defending himself
but his statements fell in deaf ears. They thought that La Liga Filipina was a revolutionary society. It was mentioned that the
case was already prejudged in the absence of due process, therefore Rizal felt hopeless and just accepted his fate.

2. Give your reactions about the recommendations of Judge advocate Nicolas de la Pena about the case of Rizal.
The recommendations of Judge advocate Nicolas de la Pena about the case of Rizal were: (1) he must be
immediately sent to trial, (2) he must be held in prison under necessary security, (3) his properties must be issued with order
of attachment, and as indemnity, Rizal had to pay one million pesos, and (4) instead of a civilian lawyer, only an army officer is
allowed to defend Rizal. I would like to give my comment on number four. This caught my attention because it is very unfair.
 Why would an army officer defend Rizal instead of a civilian lawyer who is more profound on the fundamental law of the land?
It only showed that they mistreated our national hero with unconstitutional claims.

3. Explain how the Spanish authorities handle the case of Rizal.

It all started with a preliminary investigation which lasted for five days. He was put under interrogation without
knowing who testified against him. Presented before him were two kinds of evidences- documentary and testimonial. On
December 11, 1896, the charges against Rizal were read before the Spanish counsel. And then the hearing was described as
a “moro-moro”, all planned trial wherein Rizal had already been prejudged before hearing his verdict, and this went unfair
because unlike other accused, Rizal was prohibited to know the people who witnessed against him.

4. Describe the process of Rizal’s case. Explain your answer.

Rizal did not deserve to die by any means. That was indeed a sham trial. Rizal never wanted Katipunero’s atrocious
methods, but still, he was arrested. The case was unconstitutional and truly not justified. They use Rizal as a sacrificial lamb to
warn people and discourage any plans for revolution. In short, it was a mistrial because Rizal did not have the chance to
defend himself, and all of his explanations were rejected.

5. Explain how Rizal proved that “Pen is mightier than Sword”.

Through writing letters, poetries and the two novels, Rizal proved that pen is mightier than sword. He expressed his
disgust against Spaniards and the situation of the Filipinos under the colonizers with his pen and paper. What we write
reaches far and wide. It can be read by multitude of people and it can last forever. Pen is an effective tool used by Rizal for
communication than violence.
