THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RIZAL

MODULE 8 ASSIGNMENT 1

WHAT SOCIAL VALUES CAN YOU GET FROM THE

PROPAGANDA MOVEMENT THAT YOU CAN APPLY IN
THE PRESENT SITUATION?
After seeing the film, I realized that the Philippine government movement has always
been cause of concern for Filipinos, who have been unable to express their opinions about what
is happening in their own communities or society. There is also Bayanihan or unity. Unity is
always crucial in solving individual concerns, and there are many difficulties and challenges we
are experiencing right now, particularly in our country. Using COVID-19 as an example, a
number of individuals are disputing on social media about their differing viewpoints, with some
of them fighting because of their disagreeable viewpoint. The problem will be solved instantly if
this country considers the word unity. In every aspect of life, individual rights are essential. We
must be heard as people; our emotion must not be suppressed, our thoughts must not be
dismissed, and our feelings must be spoken. The Propaganda Movement also emphasizes the
value of education. Due to a mental health issue, a big number of students have stopped
studying in recent years, feeling that education is unimportant in assuring their own future.

IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF LALIGA

FILIPINA, WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN KKK AND
CUERPO DE COMPROMISORIOS? DEFEND YOUR
ANSWER.
I chose to be a member of the Cuerpo de Compromisarios because the country need
peace rather than bloodshed. These two propaganda campaigns battle for freedom, but Jose
Rizal's Cuerpo de Compromisarios also works to bring the people together. Rizal's outstanding
leadership inspires the people to fight all forms of violence and injustice. Rizal shows that
freedom may be attained by bringing people together in a peaceful manner, without the use of
violence or the loss of life. When you study the history of La Liga Filipina, you'll discover that
Rizal and Bonifacio put their all into fighting for independence. They both share a strong
commitment to their ideas, but Rizal's contribution was to open people's minds to the need to
unify rather than fear. Rizal died, but his leadership and ideas inspired many more to rise up
and fight.
