All over the world, people study about the lives of those who were

responsible for the founding of their countries and in their countries

independence movements.  It is no different in the Philippines.  This is
why it is relevant to study the life of Rizal.

By studying the lives of heroes such as Rizal, we are supposed to

become more aware of the ideals that our country is founded upon.  We
are supposed to become more aware of the sacrifices, such as Rizal
giving his life, that our forefathers made in order that we could have an
independent country.  In other words, the study of such heroes is
supposed to make us more patriotic and more appreciative of what we
have today.  So, studying about Rizal is relevant to a Filipino especially
us youth, because it allows us to become better citizens of our country.
