TASK 5 – PAGE 54-55

1. Describe the background of Rizal's ancestry that might have contributed to his life and education. The background of Rizal’s ancestry was known as "Principalia" which means an aristocracy of Spanish in the Philippines. Principalia because they possessed land money, in fact they had sari-sari store before and their home is unique from the others. Having a carriage was a prestigious symbol for illustrados throughout the Spanish era. Jose Rizal's family was known as illustrados, which meant they were academically wealthy and belonged to a mestizo family. Their family held Calamba's largest library, which housed over 1000 volumes of literature. Their religiousness is well-known in their family. Jose and his siblings are morally pure and raise their children in a Catholic home. Rizal being in a privileged family, had the chance to get the education which few people can't get because of financial instability. Rizal's life was also impacted by his loving and caring large family, as well as his love of nature, as evidenced by the lovely scenery that surrounds their home, and his comprehension of faiths, which his mother taught him. Jose Rizal was able to read at the age of five because, as we all know, they are "ilustrados." From that time forward, he studied the Spanish family bible known as "Historia Sagrada," which enabled him to fight for social reforms for their land against Dominican friars. Rizal's forefathers had been famous even before he was born. They frequently attend a prominent school in Bian and succeed in Latin and Spanish, particularly Jose Rizal, who was recognized for his outstanding promise at a young age. 2. Compare the experiences of Rizal as a student in Ateneo Municipal, UST, and in Madrid. Rizal has always been eager to learn new things, although he has been a genius since he was a child. Ateneo, his first university, obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree to exhibit his love for the arts and language. He was originally behind in class in comparison to his peers, but because of his dedication to his studies, he has been dubbed the Emperor for being the most exceptional individual in just a month and graduated with the highest honors. He subsequently moved to UST to study medicine for his mother, although he was less involved in Ateneo. Rizal's academic performance in UST was not as impressive as that in Ateneo. He was a good student in Medicine but not as gifted as he was in Arts and Letters. Despite this, he was still one of the seven students who remained in the course in his last year at UST out of the original batch of twenty-four (Jose, 2011). At the Ateneo de Madrid, he traveled and studied French, English, and German. Rizal was regarded as a superb student who, despite the difficulties he experienced, never gave up until he completed what he started.

3. Who were the important persons that influenced Rizal in his intellectual pursuits? Rizal's brother, Paciano, had a big influence on his intellectual aspirations. Throughout his life, he mentored Rizal, and Rizal listened to him as if he were his second parent. His teachers had also influenced his schooling, but Leon Monroy was the one who truly taught him and sharpened his Basic Latin, reading, and writing skills. Doña Teodora Alonso, Rizal's mother, was the most significant person in his academic endeavors of all the people who had been with him; under her tutelage, Rizal acquired his appreciation for all sorts of art and the beautiful nature that surrounded them. She drew his attention to the world around him as she drew his attention to world around him. 4. What were Rizal's activities in Dapitan and their impact? Dapitan was Rizal's den for three years after his incarceration. He continues to study medicine there, where he meets his wife Josephine Bracken while serving people and treating their problems. During his time there, he completed a variety of initiatives, including the construction of schools, hospitals, a water irrigation system, and the placement of lampposts on every corner. Rizal's initiatives in Dapitan made him more active in his field, allowing him to help more people and better the situation in Dapitan. Rizal continued to pursue his medical career as well as his artistic interests in painting, sculpture, drawing, and poetry writing. One project that has had an influence that is still in use today is the big relief map of Mindanao shown across the plaza, which he employs in teaching Geography. 5. How would you assess Rizal's objection to the revolution? Rizal's resistance to the revolution was motivated by a desire to do the right thing and avoid a war between the Spaniards and the Filipinos. Rizal's true intentions are to educate his countrymen, the Indios so that they might study and grasp what is going on, and then to rally the Filipinos to redeem the land in a peaceful and orderly manner. Not the sharpest swords or weapons, but his knowledge and skills were his strongest weapons.

TASK 6 – PAGE 66 Change and Development

Relation to Rizal’s Life

The Philippines used to have a thriving export crop economy. On the other hand, the Spaniards' style of governance had a direct impact on the economy's obsolete progression, including the loss Economic of revenues as a result of priers' and senior officers' corruption. Importing books, journals, and newspapers from Europe became increasingly unpopular.

Importing and trading literary materials from other countries, such as books, allows Filipino reformists like Jose Rizal to think more freely. As a result of their blatant violence and avarice, Rizal felt obligated to condemn and oppose the church authorities' wrongdoings by publishing his works as a result of the Lord's words.

Chinese mestizos formed the Filipino middle class and were instrumental in reforms such as the 1898 revolution and the establishment of what is now known as Filipino identity. Furthermore, Political democracy is gradually spreading throughout the world. In the nineteenth century, the legal system was unjust, and Filipinos accused of crimes were subjected to harsher punishments.

Rizal's socialist side became more committed to achieving equality and freedom as a result of the unequal justice system brought about by the biased judgments of legislators. The effect of Chinese mestizos on the establishment of the Filipino middle class resulted in the construction of Rizal's friends in his quest for the independence he wished for his country.

The entrance of the Spaniards had a significant impact on the life of the Indio. They carried with them new cultures, religions, rituals, and institutions. Furthermore, Filipinos' social standing stays intact under the Spanish administration, and they are regarded as peasants Socio-cultural or low-wage laborers known as Indios. As the number of educated Filipinos grows, a new social class called Ilustrados arises, although they continue to experience racial discrimination from Spaniards.

During his education, he was influenced by the struggle for nationalism caused by the brutality of the Spaniards in the nineteenth century, which paved the way for the quest for freedom and independence in his mature age, having been able to explore a wide range of ideas and knowledge....
