Transcripts
hi students again i
welcome you all again to our discussion
on ge 1213 life and writings
of rizal so for today i think you
already have an idea what we will be
talking today because i know that you
already have read
the reading material assigned to you for
this module
and the title itself is flashed on your
screen
so for today we will be talking about
who
and what made rizal our foremost
national hero so there are two basic
double-aged questions
that will be presented to you in this
module it will be just very short
but we will try to dig in deeper to
these two reasons
given to us in the article written by
esteban ocampo but before that i'd like
to show you a short clip wherein
filipinos were asked about basic
questions
as wh questions about result
and let us see and let us try to assess
whether or not
they were able to answer this question
so
that was the video clip where in
filipinos were asked
about these basic double age questions
about rizal
but sadly no hindi lahat or most of them
was not able to answer
and um it's kind of sad because
rizal is our national hero in the hearts
of the filipino people
these things could have been basic but i
think
these are also things that we have to
consider
and the same reason why you are enrolled
in this subject that i hope
at the end of the course you will be
able
if someone will ask you randomly about
these questions
you will be able to answer and could
give your best foot forward but i know
you will
but anyway for today we will not be
talking about these basic objective
questions
but we will be talking about very
essential
what and who and it will be short we
will just try
to answer and to
understand the article that you've read
about
who and what made rizal our national
hero
so for our specific learning outcomes at
the end of the course
you should be able to identify who
and what made rizal our foremost
national hero
but before that let's first answer
what before we will go down to who so
what made rizal your foremost are
our foremost national hero again class
this is an article written by esteban
ocampo
and um this is the picture of
mr esteban de ocampo and he wrote very
precise definitions
about what a hero is and who really made
rizal our national hero
and alongside discussion i will try to
give you uh specific explanations
and to each things that mr diocampo
is able not to raise in this article
the first question is what made rizal
our national heroes so in this article
uh mr riojanpo was able to give us
three definitions from webster's new
international dictionary
of the english language susa nila for
you to define a hero you have to
quantify
whether or not he suits into these three
basic definitions so the first
definition is
a prominent person or central personage
taking an admirable part and remarkable
action or event
now if you go back to what rizal had did
in history
i think no with all the things that he
was able to do um creating the la liga
filipina
taking part in la solidaridad writing
the nolimithanga in el filibusterismo
encouraging illustradas to take part in
the revolution
becoming an exemplary person telling the
women to take part
the young women of malolos has a role
in the society and that men and women
has equal contribution to this history
these are just proof that rizal is a
prominent person in history
in short he qualified to our
first definition what about the second
definition
a person of distinguished veiler or
enterprise in danger
fortitude in suffering result
in the second definition willingly
accepted to take
part in the revolution even if no
he did not raise an arm but
writing the no limit igniting the spirit
of
nationalism to fellow filipinos like
andres bonifacio
and being able to lead the fellow
illustrators to
write propaganda campaign against the
spaniards
these are things that putting himself in
danger
and when he exiled himself in the pitan
and even eventually faced death
in hands of the spaniards
he was able to prove that he is willing
to put himself
in suffering in danger for the filipino
people
and again he fits our second definition
what about the last presentations are
communication tools that can be used as
lectures
speeches reports and more i think
there's no need for us to quantify this
because it's basic and elementary that
the reason why rizal is emulated and is
a person of distinguished veiler and
because
even up until today his books his
lectures
his writings and even why you are
hearing
about him in my lecture today it's
because his
life is worthy to be emulated and the
same reason
why all these three definitions
are fitting to resolve as a hero
in short there's no question that the
what
fits into our hero
which is rizal and so
who made rizal our national hero class
i would like to make this clear
there is no law no official proclamation
or any presidential proclamation
declaring rizal
as our national hero in short he is not
yet declared as the national hero of the
philippines so the question is
who made him in the minds and hearts of
the filipino people
our national hero so again there is no
single
person or groups of person who are
responsible for making him
the greatest person the malign race has
ever produced
but this three groups of persons
have made rizal our national hero
so rizal himself quantifies the first
who it's because again in the definition
of a hero that we had earlier there are
a lot of things that rizal was able to
exemplify
that made him a hero and those
are the things that we will be learning
as we go along with this course
his own people we you your parents
the filipino people before us and even
the filipinos of today considered him as
the national hero in their minds and in
their hearts
because of all the deeds that he was
able to contribute in history
and that is the basic reason why
we emulate results in the 21st century
philippines
and the third are the foreigners
blumenthrit ritana and a lot of
foreigners in today
who still recognized that result had
made a huge
impact on the filipino people so who
made rizal
our national hero no law no presidential
proclamation
but result himself his own filipino
people
and the foreigners overall
we can see all of this who and what
because we see rizal everywhere
we see his monuments being built in
schools
in parks because we believe that his
contributions are worthy to be there and
it serves as a reminder
to the filipino people that he is
everywhere he is worthy to be emulated
in coins why can't you see him in 1000
peso bill in 500 peso bill
or in any other paper bills
but he was put in a one peso coin
because sabine
these are just haka but i think this is
something that's worth it to be included
in this discussion
he serves to be the number one
one number one in the hearts of the
filipino people and the second reason
perhaps is
um any person or even the masses
the the lower middle class will also
have
will always have that coin in their
pockets
and result represents the common people
and that these people whenever they have
that coin
in their purses in their pockets would
remind them
that rizal is again a hero in the hearts
and in the minds of the filipino people
and in the stamps and everywhere in mugs
and shirts and everywhere you see rizal
everywhere because
again he is worthy to be emulated
in the mines and the hearts of the
filipino people
so class that's all for today i hope we
answer the question
what and who made rizal our foremost
national hero
and why and the question why that i just
mentioned earlier will be discussed in
module three
so for today thank you so much for
listening i hope you had a grasp on our
discussion today
stay safe and i'll see you again on our
next module
until then goodbye class
