Evaluation of the Group

Renato Constantino. wrote the Veneration without Understanding for him to convert Filipinos holding uncertainties on Rizal being the national hero. At the really beginning. he instantly compared the Philippine hero to many states in which he explained their heroes were leaders of the revolution and ours was next to such revolution: Washington – United States. Lenin – Soviet Union. Bolivar – Latin America. and others. In fact. he described Rizal as renunciation towards Bonifacio who is the leader of the revolution and the one combat for the country’s autonomy. Making his statement stronger. he added the Americans entry to the state. William Howard Taft was the individual. who suggested that the Philippines should hold a national hero. Chosen contestants were in the campaigner of being selected out of these were Bonifacio. Aguinaldo. Del Pilar. Mabini. Luna. and others. Choosing Rizal was supported with three different Act no. – 137. 243. and 346 whereas described to be honoring a state named after him. hard-on of his memorial. and his decease as a twenty-four hours of observation.

These are some of his different statements that stamped into the group’s head. About a half of our group was convinced of how Constantino presented his informations. One of us even said. “He was a voodoo doll casted on us Filipinos by the evil of Americans. ” As our professor stated. so he was really convincing – but if one knows Rizal so good. an person will believe Constantino’s work is pathetic. In the terminal. Constantino was marked as holding his ain criterions of holding a hero. His information was non based on facts. The heroes he mentioned. he didn’t even bother to dig deeper. Finding out. Washington was a rich adult male – having plantations and even slaves. Rizal had nil compared to what Washington had but his household and attainment of such high grade of instruction. Americans did non take the state to be named Rizal. it was a Filipino indigen who initiate the name of Rizal to be used at therefore was approved by the States. In add-on to this. the decease of Rizal was known to be celebrated even before the Americans arrived – Emilio Aguinaldo had set the twenty-four hours to an observation.

Last. Rizal was non the individual needed by the Americans because he was a good theoretical account of anti-thesis of revolution. he is non a marionette used to entice us. non a piper to hypnotise us – he is respected to be the hero of our heroes. Yes. so. he inspired many of our heroes and they consider themselves a toasting individual to Rizal. After saying some facts in contrast to Constantino’s statement. it was as usual – many of the members believed one time once more that Rizal was a merely hero of the state. As Esteban A. De Ocampo stated in his work: Who and what made Rizal our first national hero. he stated that no 1 can excel the things Rizal did. Each one of us knew from the get downing what Rizal did for the state. his plant. and other parts to societies. However. what we didn’t see was that he was more than that ; he was a selfless being.

He abandoned his childhood and entered adulthood at an early age. abandoned his personal involvements. and he chose to be functioning the Filipinos instead than basking his life with friends. adult females. and household. Upon reading this literary work associating to Rizal. it made us recognize – he was person truly merit to look up to. Indeed he was an ordinary individual. but what made him extraordinary was that he made the best out of his life functioning the citizens. A member of our group stated possibly he had a naming for the Filipino people that until his last breath. all he did was to animate the Filipinos. These two readings have different ends to put in the heads of the readers. As pupils. observed in our group – a batch are being flown by the current when statements can truly carry them. Possibly this is our standing in society ; we are the learning 1s who set our beliefs on the statements of others.
