REEFLECTION PAPER IN RIZAL
By: Jeshalyngail O. Guiamalon
Rizal is indeed one of the most precious course that anybody should take when they
are in college. Rizal is a course that would refresh every citizens of the Philippines to re-
alive the life of Rizal--- A Filipino who loves so much his country, that he himself is willing
to give his all for the freedom of our land Philippines. He is a Filipino who taught us, that
not all battles can be won trough bolo or any material that could kill a person. He taught us
that education is one of the greatest we can use to fight, inferiority, demoralization and
captivity. As we all know Rizal is a person, who really molded himself through education.
The entire journey of my Rizal subject ventures His whole life including the family
that he has and how did they live a life during the Spanish era. This is an important
journey because, these things impacted the life of our national hero (Rizal) and the reason
why he was able to have a heart of compassion for all us. Not only that but also, we
reflected on the writings of Rizal in which we could clearly see the things that make us
Filipinos in bandage. The writings that we scrutinize are his El Filibusterismo and Noli Me
Tangere. The famous writings our national hero had produced, to inform every Filipinos,
that the treatment of Spaniards to us are wrong and that they are depriving us of our right
to live. This also open us that the Spaniards uses only the platform of Christianity to take
power over us.
The life of Rizal, indeed, entails an inspiring story. His life is a great example of a
person, who serves his purpose, which is to give an impact and a revolutionary effect to the
lives of each and every Filipino. With that, Rizal had created his way to not just a hero but
also, an Icon of hope and freedom.
My journey of studying Rizal as a subject, made me know who Rizal is. It might not
all about him, but those learning’s and knowledge I learned, is enough to say to
myself and to other Filipino and even not, that he deserves to be what he has
known for today. And that is, the National Hero of the Filipino. His life was truly
amazing and colorful for the hero’s experiences mold him to what God purposely
do to him.
Jose Rizal, for my own insights, tells me the value of certain things which is
important for the success of his life. That Is God, Family, Country and Self. He
could not reach as that far without God. The Lords is the most important one who
could determine our success, just like as Rizal feared God and in return, he have
been bless abundantly not by material things only but a spiritual one. That is
intelligence, skills, love, and compassion. Moreover, Rizal proved that pen is mightier
than a sword.
Thanks to Rizal for he is inspires me and thanks to our professor who

imparts and explains all this knowledge for us to better understands it. His books
and the idea of nationalism caught my attention, while others used force to fight
the enemies, Rizal used the thing that he’s an expert at- writing. His books opened
the eyes of the people to the oppression of the Spaniards. The people became more
conscious of what they were experiencing and thus led to revolutions. His idea of
nationalism taught us how to love our race. It gave us an identity- that we are
Filipinos and that we should be proud of who we are and where we’re from. I’m
very thankful I have this kind of subject where we can discover more about our
National hero’s life and everything and help us to appreciate more about his
sacrifices for us.
But until now, I still don’t know how did Rizal managed to have different
girls while fighting for our freedom and for our country yet doing very good with
his academics at the same time. This is also one of the things I adore about Rizal,
is how intelligent he is, all his subjects were graded as excellent.
He graduated with flying colors and took up a preparatory course in law at

the University of Santo Tomas. He earned two doctorates and a degree in medicine.
A polymath, he was gifted in Science, Algebra, and a multitude of other fields,
including art and farming. He even tried his hand at sculpting, he has a lot of
courses and fields.
Every time I think about him and all his talents I felt proud inside of me,
well I guess because I am a Filipino. Every inch of his life taught us lessons. Every
one of his doings were dedicated for his country for every Filipinos and for our
freedom. His love to his fellow Filipino has nothing to compared with.
I can say that Rizal is a very humane, compassionate and benevolent citizen.
He has dealt with social problems through his popular books Noli Me T’angere and
El Filibusterismo. He is an ambassador or social justice and equality, which is a
very good thing that we should follow. If there were only thousands of persons like
Rizal, I believe our society will be at good condition.
I always hope I could be like him in some areas of his life, but I know that
it is far from reality to happen, it reminds me of our professor in this subject. He
always says that “You can also be Rizal, you just need to study more and take it
seriously, read and read and read”. But what I am doing is that I am performing at
my best, making every effort to become a productive individual in different aspects
of life.
And now, our country finally restored its liberty and freedom because of Rizal’s
effort and love. His works and noble deeds greatly influence the Filipinos. It is
indeed a good reference for the country’s education in developing student’s
patriotism. Filipinos owe him a lot. I wish someday his sacrifices never faded and
be forgotten even in the next , next generations of youth Filipinos, let us at least
recognize all of his deeds as a payment for all of It at least we honor him with all
our heart and soul.
