Unit 1: Rizal in the Eyes of the Filipinos
 Motivation
1. How much do you know the characteristics of Dr. Jose P. Rizal? Is this man truly an
exceptional person? Elaborate your answer.
- Dr. Jose Rizal was an intellectual person. He was a professional doctor as well as
a poet, novelist, painter, sculptor, etc.. For me he was indeed an exceptional
person because of his many talents, his contributions and accomplishments, and
also for what he did to our country.
2. In your own opinion, what do you think of our present and future condition as a nation or
country without Dr. Jose P. Rizal? How significant is the life and works of Rizal in
shaping our destiny as a sovereign nation?
- In my opinion, I think without Dr. Jose Rizal in the past, our present and future
condition will be a misery. Our country would still be colonized by Spaniards. We
won’t have freedom because our fellow Filipino doesn’t have courage and
braveness to face colonizers. The life and works of Rizal is very significant in
shaping our destiny because it was him who awakened the spirit of nationalism to
Filipinos, and it was his novels who inspired many Filipinos to stand up and fight
for the sake of our country.
