characteristics of a woman. Rizal and Leonor first meet in manila when Leonor is

caring mother who shows the characteristics of a “huwarang Inang filipino”. Isang
kasalanan sakanya ang pag aaral ng science and medicine because of the beliefs
that contradict the church and loving Josephine.

laliga pilipinas isang samahan naging daan sa buo ng katipunan na pinamunuan ni
andres bonifacio. Isang lihim na samahan na nagpasimula ng himagsikan pilipino
laban sa mga espanya na naging saligan ng unang republica ng pilipinassa ilalalim
ni Emilio aguinaldo. Siya yung tagapagtaguyod ng pagkakaroon ng pilipinas ng
sariling pamahalaan sa mapayapang pamamaraan kay sa sa marahas na himagsikan
at susuportahan lamang ang karahasan bilang huling bala.
Rizal believe that the only justification in freeing the Philippines and having
own government is giving back the karangalan ng mga mamayan. And he said
“bakit kalayaan? Kung ang mga alipin ngayon ay magiging maniniil ng hinaharap”
Tungkol sa dilemma ng mga nakikibaka kung saan ang alipin ngayon ay mang
aalipin din sa hinaharap.
