EXERCISE 3.1 RIZAL POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES

A. REFORM THROUGH NON-VIOLENT MEANS

Throughout the nineteenth century, the Spanish government had an

impact like this on the Philippines. As found in the original Noli Me Tangere
through the personality of Crisostomo Ibarra, Rizal focused a lot of his attention
essentially on the possibility of political change. In this sense, an important
character in the novel acknowledges that training can help one develop
appropriate work approaches in one's country. As a means to progress in the
change and a vote-based system, the Filipinos will be able to pursue equity,
amicability, progress, and opportunity without viciousness.

The novel Noli me Tangere and its spin-off El Filibusterismo were the
beginning of several books that set forth the circumstances of Philippine
pioneers. In comparison with the two books, Noli was more distinctive, and it was
the first political novel to be introduced to the Philippines, and these two factors
accounted for its overwhelming popularity. One of its outstanding features was
the way it depicted daily existence and even circumstances that only locals would
consider valid. The characters in the book were people who knew Rizal and were
close to him. Furthermore, the Spanish authorities have become much more
noticeable in their attempt to prevent the spread of the novel. It has been said
that Rizal may have written this novel primarily to open the eyes of Filipino
brothers and sisters to the state in which they have fallen deeply and to inspire in
them the spirit of unity and reason.

In addition to being a novel, Noli Me Tangere is an accumulation of

moments united by the plot and the presence of the same characters, showing
the shamefulness of the country in Spain, prejudice towards Filipinos, and the
negative power held by the friars. In the same vein, Noli Me Tangere obtains
some exceptionally unequivocal conclusions. The rubbing between ministers and
instructed Filipinos can be explained by the former's apprehension that the latter
may find the former's advice were confusing. Therefore, it is impossible for
harmony to exist between the reasoning local and national as it has proven to be
purely a monastic approach. Aside from that, Rizal lectured extensively about
training throughout his life and strongly believed it was vital. While some people
believed that education wasn't necessary for the opportunity, it was certainly a
wise way to address the issue if common sense prevailed.
B. REFORM THROUGH REVOLUTION

In the original novel of El Filibusterismo, there is a scene in which Ibarra persuasively

argued against savagery to bring about social change in Manila. The principal goal of Simoun is
to induce vengeance against his Father Salvi and against Spain's pioneer state. Furthermore, it is
his goal to free his first love, Maria Clara, from her stultifying life as a pious devotee in seclusion
and to liberate the islands from Spanish oppression. His goal as a friend to the principal
representative general is to make the government increasingly tyrannical, hoping to drive the
majority into revolt. In fact, uprisings are evidently occurring today, particularly when individuals
accept that public authorities can't elevate them from hardship by the actions and decisions of
the government. In terms of transformation, perhaps the biggest change was the 1986 EDSA
People Power Revolution, in which thousands or even large numbers of Filipinos took part in the
battle for the right to choose their leader. This revolt was caused by Corazon Aquino, who
became the first female president in the history of the Philippines and resulted in the defeat of
the Marcos organization.

C. NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM

Dr. Jose Rizal is widely recognized as the Founder of Philippine Nationalism. As

evidenced by the country's autonomy even today, he also showed the nation's adoration and
commitment. In this sense, Jose Rizal liberated us from oppression and the brutal experiences
brought by the Spaniards. The patriotic and nationalistic actions of Rizal showed us the necessity
of advocating for our rights. It is important to have the option to discuss a situation in a timely
manner when an unforeseen event occurs. As a result, Filipinos of the 21st century do not
remember these terrible occurrences of mistreatment by Spaniards. Although learning is
certainly not synonymous with loving one's own country, the demonstration of protecting
practices, purchasing the things of the neighborhood, and lauding our unmistakable and
exceptional qualities as Filipinos are the definitive response of patriotism and nationalism.
