Life and Works of Rizal

ACTIVITY
Please write your thoughts and what are your reflections after knowing what jose rizal did
for our country.

The thoughts and deeds of the Filipino national hero Jose Rizal have left a lasting impression
on the Philippines. He instilled a feeling of nationalism in his fellow Filipinos by fighting
against persecution and advocating for education. Novels by Rizal, such as "Noli Me Tangere"
and "El Filibusterismo," revealed the abuses committed during Spanish colonial control and
motivated readers to fight for their rights.
As a student, I'm motivated to strive for freedom, and justice by his courage and intelligence.
The Filipino people are guided by Rizal's legacy, which serves as a reminder of our innate
fortitude and ability to persevere in the face of hardship.
As a student, it makes me think that, just like Jose Rizal, I can also make a difference given
our current political and even environmental issues, though not in the form of violence but in
a way that utilizes my talent and my skills.
