RIZAL: A MAN WITH EXTRAORDINARY TALENTS
Once, there was a clever little boy named Jose P. Rizal;
also known by his family and friends as “Pepe”.
This little boy predicted that one day
people will build a statue of his image and people will come to honor him.
His prediction indeed came true.
Jose P. Rizal, is now our National Hero.
Rizal, an epitome of a great hero.
He unveiled the covered eyes of many Filipinos
through his magnificent and brilliant writings.
He is a real genius; full of extraordinary talents.
Among his contemporaries, he is the best.
He is the well-spring of literature during his time.
His works of art are really amazing.
His powerful pen and fine writing paper
Served as his primary weapon
To attack the prevailing cruelty of the Spaniards.
His two immortal novels-
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo;
the product of his high intellectual capacity
and the product of his patriotism and nationalism
opened the eyes of many Filipinos to see the reality.
Many Filipinos were enlightened
upon reading his two novels.
His martyrdom triggered the sense of
nationalism in the hearts of his fellowmen.
Rizal sacrificed his own life to save our motherland
from the hands of oppressors.
He dedicated his life whole-heartedly
to lift our country from the abyss of emptiness and tragedy.
He faced everything; even death without any reluctance.
He is a man full of hope
and still believe that there is
a brighter life ahead after a cruel storm.
His works and writings are really worth reminiscing.
Writings that must be passed on to the succeeding generations.
We cannot probably have another Jose P. Rizal.
But what we have are his immortal principles in life
That would guide us
As we go on with our lives.
As we embark the difficult path toward progress.
Jose Rizal is our national hero but he is not a demi-god as most historians would depict him.
I think stories about Jose Rizal are exaggerated maybe because people tend to relate the concept of "heroism" with...
