II. Among the many talents/skills of Rizal, what would you think is the most needed
in our present situation? Justify your answer.

As the situation we are currently facing up until now, I think the most
needed in our present situation is a Medical Doctors. Medical Doctors and
other front liners is muchly needed in our society today. To cure, help, and
combat this pandemic for us. Even in a normal day, in normal society either,
they are still the most important because they are the one whom we run into
when we have ill and we are sick. They are an angel for us, their patients as
they draws them out of the jaws of death. They work with a missionary zeal
and sacrifices their comfort to the service of mankind. Even at odd hours,
they are preparing to attend to the patients, check them up, and diagnosed
them. They are the one who restore our health. They reinvokes to us a desire
to live and live healthy and purposefully.
