On June 19, 2011, this was the 150 years of celebrating of our national hero named Dr.

Jose Rizal with his achievements and its undergoing essence in this new millennium. On Rizal’s

date of birth was just fall in six days after the celebration of Philippine Independence day which

is the proclamation of independence from Spanish rule by General Emilio Aguinaldo. General

Emilio Aguinaldo was the president in the year of 1898 in Kawit, Cavite. The reaffirming of the

primacy of the Filipinos’ right to national self-determination was ordered by President Diosdado

Macapagal through changing the date from July 4 to June 12 in a year of 1962. The people are

still in quest of the rights, instruments and opportunities to determine ourselves as autonomous,

sovereign and nation-state after more than three generations.

The preliminary to an inquest was the Renaissance and the rise of European

bourgeoisie, the focus of critical attention has shifted from the cosmic totality to the individual.

The substantial biographies of Rizal from Austin Craig to Rafael Palma, Leon Maria Guerrero to

Austin Coates all attempted to triangulate the ideas of the hero with his varying positions in his

family, in the circle of his friend and colleagues in Europe and in relation to the colonial

establishment. In critique of the orthodox canon have been sketched the book of historical-

materialist that approaches to Rizal’s thought and career. One would expect that Leon Maria

Guerrero will be more nuanced and circumspect. Rizal is the reluctant revolutionary that

Guerrero cannot avoid dualistic, either or viewpoint which privileges selected episodes or ideas

of the hero’s career. The Philippines was compromised of separate, disjoined, non-

communicating primitive tribes to both Guerrero and Joaquin who seem to share the notion that

before the Spain’s arrival. The scholastic prejudice is that Rizal summarized his whole life in the

sermon of Padre Florentino at the end of the Fili. Rizal is the prophet of an enlightenment

philosophy founded on the imperative of humans overthrowing the gods and claiming their

worldly freedom. This Promethean, vocation is still formulated in scholastic terms.

 For the article entitled, Rizal for the new millennium discussed how our national hero

named Dr. Jose Rizal is really important to let us know over a thousand years ago of the life of

Rizal. The 150th anniversary of his birth affords us the occasion to reassess his works,

particularly in the context of ongoing fierce class war between the exploited, impoverished

majority and the few privileged landlords, bureaucrats and business moguls patronize by the

global capital. This was taking place at a time when our country Philippines is being re-

colonized by the United States. Under the cover of the global war in terrorism was also labeled

as an Islamic extremism. Extremism is the holding of extreme political or religious views. It has

individualist metaphysic that acquired the logical from in Descartes abolition of doubt by the ego

centered consciousness, the solitary individual. The power of Rizal's investigate can't be over-

stressed. One of its essential measurements comprises of detonating the fantasy of the

certainty of occasions by demonstrating that the emanation of casualty encompassing them is

because of how we imagine them, because of our own outlook, mentalities, dispositions.. Dr.

Jose Rizal is really a powerful man because even though he experienced a lot of things that can

hurt him, he is still fighting for it. Rizal's position at that point can't be decreased to that of one

character's lead and declarations. His venture is exploratory, heuristic, and trial. Rizal's moral

realism understands the limits and shortcomings of fallible human agency. But it does not give

up the vocation of changing society because it is founded on the gap between what exists and

what is desired. We have seen the ethico-political motivation of allegorical realism dramatized at

the end of Chapter 10 of the Fili. Both novels employ the method of allegorical realism to test

the hypothesis of human freedom born from insurgent practice, replacing a transcendent

power/demiurge as the shaper and arbiter of history. Rizal foresaw the strengths and

weaknesses of the Philippine nation today as it stands on the brink of a new and exciting world.

Like a chastising father, he warned us, through the words of Padre Florentino in El

Filibusterismo, that we will never have a successful state or bayan, until we also have a

successful nation or bansa. There is a world of difference between the two. While statehood
provides the infrastructure of government, it is nationhood that creates the temper of

governance. What Rizal saw as an ideal nation-state was embodied in La Liga Filipina, yet

another one of the hero’s scenarios for the future. Organized on the basis of regional and district

councils, La Liga was a vision of a moral community in which all of the people worked together

for the common good, for a better future.That vision, upon which La Liga was founded, is as

vital today as it was 100 years ago. Rizal, through his writings and his deeds, has given us a

blueprint for our future. But what we do with it is up to us. Rizal foresaw the strengths and

councils, La Liga Filipina was envisioned to unite the archipelago into one compact, vigorous,

and homogenous body. Members were pledged to mutual assistance in the face of every want

and necessity, to provide defense against injustice, to encourage education, agriculture, and

commerce, and to study and apply reforms. In short, La Liga was a vision of a moral community

in which all of the people worked together for the common good, for a better future. That vision,

upon which La Liga was founded, is as vital today as it was 100 years ago. Rizal, through his
