1. The moth narrative is more than simply a story; it is a lesson that everyone must
learn from. One lesson to be learned from the moth story is to always obey people older
than you, notably your parents, since they know far better. In the narrative, the young moth
perished because he violated his father and got too near to the flame, which burned him
to death. When we are advised to avoid danger or evil, we likewise behave in this manner.
Then, similar to the tiny moth that was walking toward the fire and desired to touch flame
despite his mother's warnings, we start to go closer. We were told in the narrative that his
mother had warned him not to get too close to the flames because they would burn him to
ashes, but since he was stubborn, he did.

2. After 1849, the universal use of surnames was guaranteed by this important
statute. Progressing past 1849 for genealogy research might be difficult since our kin can
have gone by different surnames before then. Along with this ordinance is the Catalogo
Alfabetico de Apellidos, a mid-19th century publication that lists surnames from the
Philippines and other Spanish East Indies islands. This was in reaction to a Spanish
colonial law mandating that colonial subjects without previous surnames be assigned
Spanish family names and local surnames. Additionally, it explains why many Spaniards
and people from other Hispanic nations have several surnames with Filipinos. A Spanish
surname does not always denote Spanish heritage among Filipinos.

3. Jose Rizal's early years could be viewed by his curiosity. He even traversed the
church near his house to watch and study the congregation, despite not being very
religious. Jose Rizal wasn't very physically gifted or sturdy. But he had a tremendous will
that was nurtured and trained by his mother, who was his first instructor and almost entirely
without the aid of books, he learned. After demanding to be taught to read and to share
the things his older sister had acquired, he began learning his alphabet at the age of three.
As a child, he did not really have a great physique but with the help of his uncle, Manuel
worked on his physique until he was no longer a scrawny, sickly youngster but had a
physique steel. Rizal was taught by his uncle, Gregorio, that success requires work and
cannot be taken for granted. Jose, the youngest uncle, oversaw giving Rizal his regular
lessons. With the help of his loved ones, he was able to conquer his weaknesses and
became a great example to the Filipino people even up to modern days.
