Biography of a Prominent
Filipino
 Filipino heroines who changed Philippine history or the
Filipino who has exemplary works or has a biggest
contribution in the society. Some of the Filipino if you ask
about the prominent Filipino the person who comes from their
mind of course Dr. Jose Rizal. Rizal is our National heroes
who used “PLUMA” to awakened Filipino against the conquest
or invaders of the Filipino. And there is Andres Bonifacio,
Emilio Aguinaldo and Emilio Jacinto perhaps Antonio Luna in
his successful film movie.
 “The Philippines does not have an official list of national
heroes. While there has been an attempt to come up with one,
legislators deferred finalizing a list to avoid a surge of
proclamations and debates “involving historical controversies
about heroes.” Still, textbooks and flashcards don’t hesitate to
ingrain their names in our minds. It’s interesting how these
historical figures all breed the same familiarity as superheroes,
with students already knowing their names and achievements
by heart by the time they reach high school.”
 “Thinking about the personalities, you can’t help but
notice a pattern: they’re mostly men who fit into the
typical hero mold of machismo and valor. While history
books often devote entire chapters to the adventures and
achievements of male heroes, our female heroines are
often bunched into one section, treated as footnotes or
afterthoughts despite also fighting for the nation’s
freedom.”
 “In time, Philippines Life lists of
brave Filipino heroines whose actions
deserve to be remembered. These women
are more than just tokens for female
representation. Remember their names
and their achievements:”
 This modules contains the Biography of Filipino
prominent that gives inspiration to us as an individual
somehow it gives feedback to us as a Filipino. It’s also
a time we realize the good works of a Filipino
prominent. You as a learner you are now thinking
what would be your greatest contribution as a citizen,
as a young people of our country.
