When Dr. Rizal says, "Youth is the Hope of the Fatherland," it affects everyone who has heard

about it to become more responsible and to love our nation. It is highly effective in inspiring us students to

become better citizens. Not just to the students, but to all young people, in order to influence and inspire

them to be law-abiding, selfless, and socially responsible citizens for the benefit of the nation. The Rizal

law frequently encourages people to put their country and fellow citizens before their own interests in

everything they do. It also enables people to comprehend what is best for the nation in the hours, days,

weeks, years, and decades to come in addition to what is greatest for them personally right now. The

statute claims that Rizal's life and works are inspiring examples of populism, nationalism, and

voluntarism. The law also makes the supposition that Rizal led a life committed to the land and that his

contributions were made for the benefit of the populace, which is historically referred to as loyalty to one's

own country. Under Rizal's direction, the nation strives to generate citizens who are genuinely devoted to

the republic and who also enrich society through their lives and deeds. For the good of the country, it

aspires to develop moral, unselfish, and socially aware citizens. Politics and word-of-mouth are not

enough to satisfy the law's requirements for nationalism, patriotism, and volunteerism. It goes beyond

simple advocacy. It is understood for what it truly is. It inspires a guy to put his country and fellow citizens

first in all that he does. It is the legislation that enables a citizen to consider both what is best for the

country both now and in the future. Though not specifically specified in the Republic Act, these topics are

all brought up in Rizal's works. Studying Rizal's life and works can be done for a variety of reasons,

including to honor our national hero for dedicating his life and work to defining the Filipino character and

to reinvigorate youth's dedication to the values of liberty and nationalism for which our heroes fought and

died to learn about Rizal's life, career, and writings in order to gain inspiration for one's patriotism. To

have a greater understanding of what Rizal sacrificed his life for, to consider the importance of his

teachings and values considering contemporary social conditions, and to encourage the application of

those principles in those situations. To encourage the Filipino youth's development in all elements of

citizenship. For the Filipino people, particularly the youth, to remember him, the Rizal legislation was

established. Every Filipino youth who takes the Rizal course at school is expected to develop a sense of

nationalism and patriotism as well as a desire to use Rizal's ideas to address contemporary issues. Sadly,

time has proven that the Rizal law was ineffective. The legal limitations on studying Jose Rizal's life,

works, or compositions have no end. I find the course engaging because it offers students so many

advantages, far from being pragmatist. Many contemporary academicians contend that, when taught

properly, the subject is more important than many others in a variety of educational programs. As a

compilation of experiences, Jose Rizal's course is replete with documented data from which one could

draw for daily judgments. For instance, the subject suggests that education is an essential part of a
person's or a nation's freedom and success. By reflecting on the past, we can better understand who we

are. We provide thorough explanations of who we are, including our history as well as where we are

going. Our genetic make-up, past behaviors, and old national characteristics are frequently important

indications as well as drivers of our current position. Curiously, the fact that Jose Rizal was a well-known

public figure contributes significantly to the explanation of the general outlook and manner of life of

Filipinos. Rizal experimented with modeling and painting as well. One of his most well-known sculptures

is "The Triumph of Science over Death," a dirt figure of a young woman with flowing hair perched on a

skull and holding a light in the air. The light she carried signified the illumination that science brings to all

people, whereas the woman stood for the ignorance of humanity during the Dark Ages. He presented

Ferdinand Blumentritt, a close friend of his, with the figurine and another titled "The Triumph of Death

over Life." A lady is depicted stomping on a skull, a depiction of death, to reflect the triumph humans

attained by beating the darkest element of death via their rational accomplishments. Discriminating,

evaluating, and analytical thinking are the three components of critical thinking. Philosophy major Jose

Rizal's argumentative essays, satires, novels, lectures, and written disagreements demonstrated his

talent for critical analysis. Rizal never gave in to people's irrational whims or false beliefs while deciding

what to believe or do, showing that he was a reasonably introspective thinker. He dissected and

questioned everything, including the beliefs of the dominant church in his time. A critical thinking course

consequently studies Rizal's life and works. As an intellectual engaged in nation-building, our country is

given particular attention to some of the issues it is currently experiencing. It almost seems like a

challenge to display the arrogance that academics like us have been charged with having. We may be

authors, commentators, pundits, political analysts, or professors whose perspectives on a wide range of

issues are commonly sought by the media, with "intellectual" being the highly charged adjective in the

moniker. However, that would not grant us the right to the term, even in its more contemporary version as

"public intellectual." The term "intellectual" is highly abused enough as it is; one can only imagine what

complex work it is expected to do when it is paired with the equally contested term "public." I have

encountered many forms of conceit in my life, but I have yet to meet anyone who carries a calling card

with the profession: "public intellectual." If we can all agree on what that phrase means, do academics like

us have a duty to act as public intellectuals in the nation-building process? If so, what performance criteria

are used for this role? If the term "thinker" merely meant someone who relies on her brain more than her

instincts and emotions, then a "thinker" would be someone who spends her time producing, investigating,

or sorting out ideas rather than building things. This general phrase, meanwhile, would probably be too

wide to distinguish between the different kinds of labor that we tacitly expect intellectuals to conduct. The

most common responses from Filipinos nowadays when asked about Rizal are that he is the man shown

on the one-peso currency or that he was the man who was shot in Luneta. It is not by accident that Jose

Rizal's life, works, and writings are a required academic subject. While the course is far from being useful,

it does offer several advantages, and some modern academics claim that the subject, especially when

taught well, offers more advantages than many other disciplines found in other curricula. The Jose Rizal
course is a history subject and is chock-full of historical data on which one could make their decisions. For

instance, the subject conveys in a variety of ways that education is an essential component of a person's

or nation's ability to truly enjoy freedom and success. Our identity is best understood through our past.

We fully define ourselves in terms of both where we have come from and where we are heading. Our

nation's history, past actions, and set habits are all important factors of our current situation. Surprisingly,

Jose Rizal tried his hand at painting and sculpture. His life as a highly significant national historical figure

helps to illuminate our shared experience and identity as Filipinos. "The Triumph of Science over Death,"

a clay sculpture of a young woman with flowing hair standing on a skull with a torch held high, is his most

well-known creation. The woman represented the ignorance of mankind during the Dark Ages, and the

torch she carried represented the enlightenment that science delivers to everyone on earth. In the more

than a century after its publication, José Rizal's Noli Me Tangere has been widely regarded as the

greatest novel to be written in the Philippines. For this reason, I shall pick it. The beautiful love story "The

Noli," as it is known in the Philippines, is set against the obscene political backdrop of dictatorship,

torture, and murder. Rizal became a major figure and martyr for the uprising that would erupt in the

Spanish province because it was the first significant artistic expression of Asian opposition to European

colonization. In the English-speaking world, Penguin has long been the leading publisher of classic

literature.
