 MI
ÚLTIMO
ADIÓS
"My Last Farewell," written by Jose
Rizal in honor of his birthplace, the
pre-Hispanic Philippines, for which
he was sacrificing his life, is a
poem contemplating his
forthcoming death. He also used
the poem to wish his friends,
family, and loved ones farewell. "Mi
Ultimo Adiós" ("Last Farewell"), a
masterpiece of 19th-century
Spanish poetry, was written by
Rizal. Mi Ultimo Adiós was written
at Fort Santiago, and he was
sentenced to death soon after
completing it on December 30,
1896. Rizal did not give it a title at
first, and if it remained unnamed,
logic and literary tradition dictated
that it be titled by the words from
the poem's opening line. Mariano
Ponce, his friend and fellow
reformer, subsequently renamed it
"Mi Ultimo Adios."

 The Analysis
Sa aking mga Kabata” is a poem written in Tagalog about a
person's love for his native language. It is made by Dr. Jose Rizal,
who supposedly wrote it in 1868 at the age of eight.

1st Verse 3rd Verse

This verse says that our own Language is the same as
others, it has alphabets and letters. Rizal was talking
about our old language “Alibata” which is now almost
forgotten by many Filipinos. This verse might also say that
we Filipinos have a distinct and unique quality just like
other nation citizens. But as time passes we’ve adapted
to many things from different nations that colonize us.
Rizal wanted us not to forget our own distinct and
unique quality.
Rizal compares a stinky fish to a person who doesn’t love
his or her own native language. Every time that the fish
goes out of the water it stinks. The people who go to a
foreign country and adopt its language and its culture,
tend to forget their own language and culture. And as
they continue to adapt to the foreign language and
culture. They will become arrogant towards their fellow
countrymen. In this verse, Rizal wants us to cherish and
don’t forget our own native language because it is a very
valuable possession for our own country.

2nd Verse 4th Verse

The next verse implies that if the nation loves the God- According to Rizal, the Tagalog language is the same
given language that nation also loves Freedom. A person as Latin in English, Spanish, and the word angel. It says
who wholeheartedly loves his or her language will that all languages are the same, you are not above
definitely fight for his or her freedom. It also implies that someone if you speak English or Spanish.
Language is not just a tool for communication but it is
also an expression of someone’s identity. Love and the
use of the native language are proof of true patriotism.

5th Verse
This verse says that our own Language is the same as others, it has alphabets and
letters. Rizal was talking about our old language “Alibata” which is now almost
forgotten by many Filipinos. This verse might also say that we Filipinos have a
distinct and unique quality just like other nation citizens. But as time passes we’ve
adapted to many things from different nations that colonize us. Rizal wanted us
not to forget our own distinct and unique quality.

RIZAL IN
UNIVERSITY OF
SANTO TOMAS
Rizal went to University of Santo Tomas in
1877 taking philosophy and also, during that
time he got the certificate from the “Royal
Economic society of Friends of the Country”
for his poem entitled, “Sa Kabataang Pilipino
(A la Juventud Filipina)".
In this poem (A la Juventud Filipina), Rizal
praises Spain for the benefits it has bestowed
on the Philippines. Rizal was known for
portraying famous Spanish explorers,
generals, and kings in the most patriotic
light. Education (introduced to the
Philippines by Spain) was pictured by him as
"the breath of life infusing lovely virtue." One
of his Spanish professors had delivered him
"the light of eternal beauty," he had written.
In 1878, Rizal enrolled in a course related to
medicine. One of the reasons he chose
medicine was to help his mother, who was
becoming increasingly blind due to
cataracts. Also in this year, Rizal got the Liceo
Artistico-Literario because of the poem “Sa
Kabataang Pilipino”.
In 1880, he got again the award Liceo
Artistico-Literario but this time he won
because of the the play entitled “Ang
Konseho ng mga Diyos (El consejo de los
Dioses)”.
The drama depicts how an Asian adolescent
seizes the cultural aspects of the Western
humanistic heritage, overcoming not just its
formality but also establishing the
groundwork for a quest for self-awareness.
In 1881, The submitted wax model design
won for the centenary of the Noble Society
Filipino Economic Friends of Country.
In 1882, Secretly left Manila for Spain. He did
this to escape detection by the Spanish
authorities and the friars, Rizal's departure
for Spain was kept a secret. His own parents
were unaware since his mother would not
allow him to tell them. Only his older
brother, uncle, sisters Neneng and Lucia, the
Valenzuelas, Pedro Paterno, Mateo
Evangelista, the Ateneo Jesuit fathers, and a
few close friends remained. Members of the
Jesuit Society in Barcelona received letters of
recommendation from the Jesuit priests.
Jose Mercado was his alias. He penned a
farewell letter to his beloved parents and
another to his sweetheart Leonor Rivera
before leaving.

Rizal's Message to
Filipino Women
Jose Rizal was greatly impressed by the
fighting spirit that the young women of
Malolos had shown. In his letter, he
expresses great joy and satisfaction
over the battle they had fought. In this
portion of Rizal’s letter, it is obvious that
his ultimate desire was for women to
The Responsibilities of Filipino
Mothers to their Children
Rizal stipulates a number of important
points in this portion of his letter to the
young women of Malolos. The central idea
here, however, is that whatever a mother
shows to her children is what the children
will become also.
Qualities Mothers
have to Possess
Rizal enumerates the qualities Filipino
mothers have to possess:
Be a noble wife.

women of Sparta who embody this
quality

be offered the same opportunities as
those received by men in terms of
education. During those days young
girls were not sent to school because of
the universal notion that they would
soon only be taken as wives and stay at
home with the children. Rizal, however,
emphasizes on freedom of thought and
the right to education, which must be
granted to both boys and girls alike.
If the mother is always kissing the hand
of the friars in submission, then her
children will grow up to be sycophants
and mindless fools who do nothing but
do as they are told, even if the very
nature of the task would violate their
rights as individuals.
Rizal's Advice to Unmarried
Men and Women
Jose Rizal points out to unmarried women
that they should not be easily taken by
appearances and looks, because these can
be very deceiving. Instead, they should
take heed of men’s firmness of character
and lofty ideas. Rizal further adds that
there are three things that a young
woman must look for a man she intends
to be her husband:
A noble and honored name
A manly heart
A high spirit incapable of being
satisfied with engendering slaves.

Jose Rizal was born on June 19,
1861, just a few days before the full
moon. His father made him a hut
in their garden for him to play in
the day and he would gaze at the
beauty of nature. He remembered
praying with his family on their
rooftop while the full moon shone
in their area. Here we have our
hero's first venture to the pain and
sadness of losing someone who he
cared about deeply, his sister a
year younger than him died due to
her intense sickness. Rizal was
born on June 6 1869 in Antipolo, a
town in the Philippines.
to paint the flag and as he stood
up from his chair, he had to be
scolded by his mother. Dr Jose
Rizal's first poem was "SA AKING
MGA KABATA" which was his first
poem that was written in his
native language. In his poem he
displayed patriotism, love for the
Filipino language. With that, he
fought for our freedom and for our
language. Thus, the people should
continue honoring his acts that he
has made for our country.

His mother Teodora taught him

how to read Spanish language
when he was just five years old.
Rizal's father bought a horse
named ALIPATO his father bought
with his dog named USMAN for
him to ride.

When he was six years old, he

made a clay sculpture of a flag
and his siblings made fun of
him because he spent so
much time on it instead of
playing. The mayor of the town

THE HEROISM OF
DR. JOSE RIZAL
December 30th commemorates the
heroism and martyrdom of our national
hero Dr. Jose Rizal. The word "hero" is
often used to refer to a brave, smart and
strong man, may be in real life or
brought to life in stories and epics. But
what exactly is the real meaning of the
word 'hero'? Many ordinary people who
participated in the revolution could be
considered heroes. They laid down their
lives for freedom, even though their
success was uncertain. One of the
representations of the real meaning of
being a hero was the Katipuneros.
Sistemang Patubig ni Rizal sa Dapitan
Buhay ni Rizal
sa Dapitan
Ang mga kahanga-hangang gawain ni Rizal na

ito ay nagsilbing inspirasyon sa akin bilang

isang mag-aaral. Kung ako marahil ang nasa

kalagayan ni Rizal, baka ako ay nababalot na

ng kalungkutan at magmumukmok na lamang sa

aking kinaroroonan, at isiping wala na akong

halaga at ito na ang aking katapusan. Pero

kakaiba ang isang Jose Rizal. Nais iparating ng

buhay at gawain ni Rizal, kabilang ang mga

likha na nagpapakita ng naging buhay ni Rizal

gaya ng “Rizal sa Dapitan” na tayong mga

kabataan ay walang panahon para

magpatulog-tulog, dapat tayo ay matutong

magbigay pahalaga sa oras at mga

pribilehiyong natatamasa natin ngayon at

magpakadalubhasa upang makatulong din sa

ating lipunan tulad ng ginawa ni Rizal lalo pa

sa tindi ng krisis na kinahaharap ng ating bayan

sa kasalukuyan.

Sa kabila ng mga produktibong gawain ni Rizal

na ito, nagkaroon din siya ng panahon sa pag-

ibig. Ito ay nang dumating si Josephine Bracken

mula sa Hong Kong, kasama ang kanyang ama

upang ipagamot ang mata. Naging

magkasintahan sila ni Rizal, at nagbunga ang

kanilang pagmamahalan. Marahil ito ang

pinakamasakit na bahagi ng buhay ni Rizal sa

kabila ng pag-aalay niya ng kanyang buhay sa

lipunan at sa paggagamot ng maraming

kababayan, namatay ang anak ni Rizal at

Bracken sa loob ng sinapupunan nito. Walang

nagawang kahit ano si Rizal upang mabuhay pa

ang kaniyang anak, kundi ang ilibing ito sa

hukay.

Bilang ama at kasintahan, marahil si Rizal ay

nagkaroon ng pagkukulang, pero nasisigurado

naman na kalianman ay hindi nagkulang si Rizal

sa pagmamahal sa bayan, at sa pagtulong sa

kapwa Pilipino kahit sa maikling panahon gaya

ng pananatili niya sa Dapitan.
