way. He expressed his love for the Philippines through his novels, essays and articles rather than through the use of
force or aggression.

people, because it inspires and influencing us to be obedient to the law, selfless and socially responsible , all for the
sake of the country. Rizal Law also empowers an individual to put his/her country and fellowmen first, before one’s

B. RIZAL AS A FILIPINO HERO

NAME: BACANA, ALFAD K. YEAR/COURSE/BLOCK: 2ND BS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Writing exercise:

Do you consider yourself as a hero? why or why not? (150-300 up words)

 Yes, I am doing what a hero does but not especially like Dr. Jose Rizal who died because he fought against the
Spaniards using only his Novels. However, I believe that a hero does not always have to wear a costume or always
risk his life and save the lives of others to be called a hero. I just help other people as much as I can like helping an
elderly person to cross the road, helping a man or woman to carry his heavy things, respect all people and of course
when a woman is being abused, I will talk to the abuser by responding politely, the abuser may change their
behaviour or realize that their verbal attacks have no good results and remove themselves from the situation.

In addition, I study hard for my parents and for myself and it is not easy to study hard but for them I will do everything
so that their support for me will not be wasted.

 Reflection paper about the film

Film: "Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon?" directed by Eddie Romero (1976)

Guide Questions:

 •Describe the nineteenth-century Philippines as represented in the film

 The film has really interpreted the situation of the Philippines during the 19 th century. It was shown that the priest were
powerful that time for they have close connections with the Spanish government as well as they have enough wealth.
Filipinos were living in fear because of the cruelty of the Spaniards that is why, some of them were living in
mountainous area to hide themselves.

In addition, Being against with the government is like a suicidal act.

 •Based on your reading and class discussion, what can you say about the film's representation of the nineteenth
century?

 Precisely accurate, they really studied the quality and the original way of life in the Philippines in the 19 th century, as
well as the way of speaking, the dialects are accurate. Slavery was clearly present, as was misuse of authority. They
also showed the way of execution of prisoners and imprisoning innocent people without trial which is very common at
that time, because without money you have no power at that time. Being friends with the priest and the government,
on the other hand, is advantageous since they may be able to assist you in times of need. Priests are often
said to be more powerful than government officials due to their length of service.

 What is the main question that the film seeks to answer? What is your own reflection based on the film and your
understanding?

 “Who is the real Filipino?” is often asked in the movie. The said question received several answers, including one that
a Filipino is someone who fought for his country, and another that Filipinos are those who were born and raised in the
Philippines. Since then, the answer to the question seems vague. This clearly shows that Filipinos were still confused
about their identity in the nineteenth century.

The Philippines had many obstacles in the 19th century, including human rights violations, slavery, and unjust rule. The
Spanish controlled the population, and many individuals were killed under their rule. But, on the other hand, such
problems only revealed that Filipinos have a strong sense of what is right for them and can stand for it. The Filipinos
were forced to revolutionize and end their way of life through the unjust actions of powerful people. Through this, the
Filipino people came together for a common goal and achieved independence from the Spanish colony that they had
fought for a long time. I discovered that the 19 th century was not only about overcoming a tyrannical ruler, but also
about overcoming the task of nation building.

ACTIVITY 7
J. NOLI ME TANGERE K. ELFILIBUSTERISMO

NAME: BACANA, ALFAD K. YEAR/COURSE/BLOCK: 2ND BS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Note: all activities are self explanatory.
Instruction: Write an essay with the aim of answering the following.

(a) What is freedom?

 I honestly believe that Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or
restraint, a choice of how the way you want to live for your life not just live free. Freedom is a state of our mind That
indicates your mind without fear or compulsion of safety in our life.

Dr. Jose Rizal also believe that freedom is won not through the sword but through the people making themselves
worthy of it. However, I believe that fighting for your freedom is one of the things you will not regret in your life.

Additionally, freedom is the choice to live what one wants, live where one wants, eat by one’s own choice and know
what one’s heart desires without any restrictions from anyone.

(b) How is the lack of freedom portrayed in the novel?

 The Novel is not just talking bout lack of freedom in the Philippines when it comes to politics, but life in general. The
novel portrayed the lack of freedom through the narration of Crisostomo Ibarra’s life. Spaniard want to control us and
it was also included in the novel about the slavery of the Spaniard to the Filipino’s.

(c) How is the situation in the novel different from today?

 So Rizal remains relevant to the 21 st century Filipino. Unfortunately, this also means that many of the social ills he
fought against continue to plague Philippine society, more than a century after his martyrdom. The unequal treatment
of colonized countries. Foreign powers, such as the U.S., treat our archipelago as its own backyard that needs to be
fortified from enemies, which explains the presence of American troops through the Visiting Forces Agreement,
Balikatan Exercises, and the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement .

 In life, people may come and go, some will be remembered and some will be forgotten. But one thing I am sure of, I

I personally believe that a hero is someone who is willing to help others.

For me, My Hero is My Teachers because being a teacher is kinda timeless role that inspired students to pursue their
passion and to emphasize. Teachers are heroes because of their dedication and perseverance to make teaching and
learning possible for all. However, all I can say is that I wouldn’t be where I am without them.
