While reading Rizal's letter to the young women of Malolos, I observed that he made

several remarks on the friars. It prompted me to ponder how the friars and their
misdeeds are linked to his message for the young ladies of Malolos who seek for the
privilege of receiving an education. It was due to the fact that the friars, the corrupt
and bad friars, are utilizing their position and the faith of the people and women for
their own immoral and self-serving purposes. He had defined the women of the
community, including mothers, daughters, and even the unmarried, whom he had also
counseled. To make appropriate decisions at all times. Rizal concludes his letter by
expressing his hopes for the young women in their attempt. Indeed, Rizal's beliefs and
opinions have had an influence on our nation-building, since they have shaped our
current society. Not only attributable to him, but all previous advancements contribute
to the present. I also appreciate Rizal's perspective on women. He values and respects
everyone equally, as I can see. I can also see how he appreciates mothers and the
obligations that come with becoming a mother. I particularly admire Rizal's
observations and awe of the Filipino women in Malolos. He recognizes the need of
ensuring the rights and equality of men and women. Even if his words may have
inspired and empowered women in Malolos at the time, I, a modern-day woman,
disagree with several of his assertions. No matter if you're a man or a woman,
education is incredibly vital. I concur that we should use common sense and quit
letting anything fool us. Being educated, however, is something I disagree with
because it is their duty as mothers to educate their offspring. There's nothing wrong
with it, in fact, it's really true, but I also think each person has the right to educate
themselves for themselves as an individual, rather than because it's their responsibility
and function as a mother, a wife, or a daughter. Regardless of gender, everyone
should have the freedom to learn whatever they desire. I think it's important to offer
them the freedom to select what they want to be, even if they don't want to be
mothers. Their power and strength come from being women, not just from the
obligations and responsibilities they have as wives or mothers. Dr. Jose Rizal
expresses hope for regaining the dignity and worth of all Filipinos, particularly
women who are mothers, wives, and daughters in his essay "To the young women of
Malolos." Dr. Rizal advised the young women to find the proper man for them in his
letter by outlining characteristics that Filipino moms must have and outlining the
obligations and responsibilities of mothers to their children and husbands. According
to what I've read, Rizal discusses the historical inequality between men and women.
Man who can go to school and woman who should stay at home and take care of the
family.The characteristics that the Spartan women instilled in their children are passed
down to children whose mothers are in charge of raising them. Rizal showed his
respect for their action as well as his opinions on the duties women had. Giving
women the right to an education was a desire of Rizal's that was realized. We are no
longer prevented from achieving our full potential because we are simply servants.
We must not take this right for granted because our ancestors worked so hard to
establish it. We should be thankful for the opportunity we were given rather than
complaining about the responsibilities we receive in school. We must not waste this
opportunity. Let's make the most of this opportunity to demonstrate our worth to the
world.
