Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippine National Hero
A sculpture of Jose Rizal the Philippine’s National Hero.
It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice. — Jose Rizal
There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves. — Jose Rizal
A Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era and its eventual independence from Spain. He is considered a national hero and the anniversary of Rizal’s death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal’s 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.
I admire Rizal because he was one of the most prominent figure to stand-up against the tyranny of the Catholic Church friars.
Up until 1950s his book was viewed a taboo, and was barred from our education system.
He was a freemason, a freethinking deist (a belief that God left us humans on our own) organization.
i admire jose rizal because he is most cultured in all the reformists
his qualities and attributes make him a refined man
and with that people admire and salute him
in his young mind he think and planned on how his native land will be free from abuses and a better place to lived
in that he really deserves to be so called as our national hero
Rizal was right. You cannot just change the system by sheer show of force. He waged war against the Spanish friars by opening up the minds of the Filipinos to the true essence of religion, liberty, and justice. True change must come from within for it to reveal its redemptive power.
its worthless.
