December 30, 2012, the Philippines celebrated the 116th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero. Flags and tarpaulins had been visible in the major areas in Metro Manila since the beginning of December. There are also other significant activities but the highlight of course happened at the Rizal Monument at Rizal Park in Manila.
Honestly, I was only at home that day because unfortunately I was sick. I didn’t personally experience the celebration. I only referred to the stories of my classmates who went there and of course in news. According to my classmates, they really had fun. I really wanted to go but for some reasons I can’t.
Anyway, there are different ways Rizal day was celebrated. In Gubat, Sorsogon, there were marathon reading of the two novels of Jose Rizal, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo while wearing barong and filipiniana. In Sarat, Ilocos Norte, the Rizalistas offered a prayer and sang different versions of Lupang Hinirang.
While in Luneta Park, procession of the replica of the urn of Rizal was put in the karosa directed by the Knights of Rizal, MMDA, and the National Historical Council of the Philippines The parade started from Binondo in Manila to his monument in Luneta with the accompaniment of Rizal’s grandchildren. In front of his monument, the Philippine was raised which was lead by our president, Noynoy Aquino after that offering of flowers with 21 guns salute was done.

Editor’s note: The following is the article written by today’s most famous Filipino historian Ambeth R. Ocampo on Jose Rizal’s death. Simply entitled, “The Death of Jose Rizal,” this historical piece by the current head of the National Historical Institute (of the Philippines) could be deemed refreshing and controversial, as it offers several unpopular and unorthodox accounts of what (presumably) transpired on the day of Rizal’s execution. For one thing, it virtually proclaims that Rizal refused to kiss the crucifix before he was executed, thereby negating the claim of other historians (like Zaide) that the national hero even asked for this Catholic sacramental. Happy reading!…

Admit it. We are all regarding Dr. Jose Rizal as one of our role models. We look up to him and “praise” him for that slight contribution he did for us to gain colonial independence. It was so surprising, however, that there are, still, a lot of things that we do not know about him and what really happened during his existence. Constantino was right when he made mention of how we are blinded by our adoration of how great Rizal was…of how martyr he was…of how he died for our country through unjust execution by the Spaniards.…

José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda[1] (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896, ancestral home: Quanzhou, Fujian[2]), was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered the Philippines' national hero and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution. The seventh of eleven children born to a wealthy family in the town of Calamba, Laguna (province), Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts. He enrolled in Medicine and Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas and then traveled alone to Madrid, Spain, where he continued his studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine. He attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages.…

Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda, our national hero who is known for his nationalism and patriotism usually come side by side with these words; the doctor, the writer, the philosopher, the clairvoyant, and most of all the hero who died for the country. More than a hundred and fifty years ago, that hero was born and history says that he was the one who revolutionized a new uprising. Not through the literal bloody and violent revolutionary way but by unravelling the skeletons in the colonizers closet through his works and writings. Though he died in the hands of the colonizers, he fought the bloodless way and sparked the spirit of nationalism of the Filipino as an individual.…

Jose Rizal is our national hero but seriously i don’t know a lot about him. But when I watched the film about Dr. Jose Rizal I was shocked and amazed because of his sacrifice for our country. I though the he was a brilliant individual. He served as an inspiration to all Filipino. During his lifetime, he spent many years outside the Philippines, enriching himself through education, especially in Madrid, Spain. The distance did not diminish nor reduce his love for his country. Far from his motherland, he looked across the seas to find its strength, as well as its weaknesses, in order to uplift it from the abuses of foreign rule.…

Last Oct. 3, 2012 we had our field trip at Dapitan City. I arrived at the school campus before 7:00 A.M. I was ready for a fun-filled and exciting day. That was not my first field trip, but that was my first with JRMSU family. That fieldtrip was for our subject in History 12 (Rizal’s life, Works and Writings). Our first destination was the landing site called “Punto Del Desembarco de Rizal”. When we were on our way we passed through the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo Street.…
