Reflect from the following:

1. In what ways did Rizal's interactions with other intellectuals and activists in Europe influence his political and
social beliefs?

2. Rizal's life ultimately ended in martyrdom. What do you think were the most significant contributions he made
to the cause of Filipino independence, and what does his sacrifice symbolize for the Filipino nation?

3. Rizal's famous quote is, "The youth is the hope of our future." How do you interpret this statement, and what
responsibilities do you think it places on the younger generation in the Philippines today?
