Rizal/ MW/ 1:00-2:30 Prof. Gertrude S. Engaño II

In the Walls of Museo Sugbo

Upon our visit to one of the few museums in the City of Cebu, the Museo Sugbo in
particular, we have seen the vast collection of artifacts and literary pieces that have
been preserved and were later curated for public use. There are almost 10 galleries in
the vicinity of the said museum, making our visit worthwhile. Little by little, as we gaze
and stare at the different archives, one can say that we really are in a face-to-face
situation with time and space given the fact that these collections come from different
eras. Our close encounter with history made us realize that we may have faced a ton of
trials a long time ago, but the spirit of resiliency that we now have is a living fossil in
itself, that until now is still present among us, Filipinos.

In relation to our course, Rizal, one can infer that the archives present for public
display play a consistent important role in the formation of our written history, just like
the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, who made an enormous impact especially in the
rekindling of the fire that was put to sleep by Spanish Occupation, his literature
provided the alarm for most of the Filipinos at those times who were under the
despotic rule of the Spaniards. He awoke the spirit of resiliency that despite the
hardships, one must rise up to defend what is rightfully theirs and ours. The death of
Rizal was not a statue of sorrow but the monument of fortitude that we ,Filipinos, must
fight for what is right and just. And that the independence we come to enjoy now must
not be put to waste
for our
brethren have
died fighting for it.
