A.

LIFE LINE
1. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED TO
SHAPE ME AS I AM TODAY IS MY MOTHER, BECAUSE SHE WAS
ALWAYS THERE FOR ME, GUIDING ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
SHE HAD A POWERFUL PRESENCE ABOUT HER, HER LOVE FOR ME
RADIATING LIKE A BEACON IN THE DARKNESS." SHE TAUGHT ME
THE IMPORTANCE OF LOYALTY, DEVOTION, AND UNWAVERING
COMMITMENT.

2. ONE IMPORTANT MOMENT FOR ME WAS WHEN I SAW HOW

STRONG AND DETERMINED MY OLDER BROTHER WAS. HE FACED
MANY CHALLENGES AND DIDN'T LET ANYONE TELL HIM WHAT
TO DO. IT TAUGHT ME THAT WE HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL
OUR OWN LIVES. AND MY FAMILY ALSO SHOWED ME WHAT IT
MEANS TO TRUST AND RELY ON THE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT.
THEY WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME, AND IT MADE ME REALIZE
THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS.
FAMILY EXPERIENCES, MY DEAR, WHETHER THEY BRING
HAPPINESS OR DIFFICULTIES, HELP US UNDERSTAND EMOTIONS
AND HOW WE CONNECT WITH OTHERS.

3. I HAVE TAKEN FORWARD A CERTAIN INTENSITY IN EVERYTHING

I DO. I BELIEVE IN GIVING MY ALL, WHETHER IT'S LOVE, WORK,
OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF LIFE. I WON'T SETTLE FOR LESS. I'LL
TRY TO BE A HARDWORKING PERSON. I'VE ALSO CARRIED WITH
ME A SENSE OF PROTECTIVENESS TOWARD THOSE I CARE ABOUT
WHICH IS MY LOVED ONES.

B. KNOWLEDGE
1. ONE PRIMARY SOURCE I KNOW, IS THE POPULAR NOVEL WHICH
IS WRITTEN BY DR. JOSE RIZAL CALLED “NOLI ME TANGERE”.
THE NOVEL WAS PUBLISHED IN 1887, IT IS CONSIDERED A
CORNERSTONE OF PHILIPPINE LITERATURE AND A CATALYST
FOR THE COUNTRY'S FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE.

2. JOSE RIZAL INTENDED TO AWAKEN AND TO RESONATE WITH

THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE

3. HE SHOWED HOW THE SPANISH RULERS TREATED THE FILIPINOS

UNFAIRLY AND URGED THEM TO FIGHT BACK. SECOND, HE
POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS A BIG GAP BETWEEN THE RICH
SPANISH PEOPLE AND THE POOR FILIPINOS. LASTLY, HE
 BELIEVED THAT EDUCATION WAS CRUCIAL FOR THE FILIPINO
PEOPLE TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES AND CHALLENGE THE UNFAIR
SYSTEM.
4. THE REASON DR. JOSE RIZAL WROTE THIS NOVEL IS BECAUSE HE
WANTS TO EXPOSE THE INJUSTICES AND ABUSES COMMITTED
BY THOSE IN POWER, PARTICULARLY THE FRIARS AND THE
COLONIAL GOVERNMENT. HE WANTS THE FILIPINO PEOPLE TO
WAKE UP AND NEED CHANGE AND INSPIRE THEM TO FIGHT FOR
THEIR RIGHTS.

6. IN NOLI ME TANGERE, RIZAL WROTE, "I WISH TO SHOW THOSE
WHO DENY US PATRIOTISM THAT WE KNOW HOW TO DIE FOR
OUR DUTY AND FOR OUR BELIEFS." THIS LINE REFLECTS RIZAL'S
UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO HIS PEOPLE AND HIS DESIRE TO
CHALLENGE THOSE WHO ACCUSED FILIPINOS OF LACKING
PATRIOTISM. HE WANTED TO PROVE THAT THEY WERE WRONG,
THAT THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WERE WILLING TO SACRIFICE
EVERYTHING FOR THEIR IDEALS AND FOR THE BETTERMENT OF
THEIR NATION.
