I. INTRODUCTION
Philppines is one of the historical places in the world and one of the tourist
spot here is the Museum of Dr. Jose Rizal that located in Calamba, Laguna formally
known as ´´Bahay na Bato´´ or ´´Bahay ni Rizal´´. The ´´Bahay ni Rizal´´, as the locals
of Calamba used to call it, is a reproduction of the Spanish period stone house where
national hero Jose Rizal was born on June 19, 1861 and lived until he started his formal
studies in Biñan. It was located adjacent to the St. John the Baptist’s Parish Church,
where he was christened as Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda.
Rizal home has a spacious parlor including the wide windows, a library,
dining room, three bedrooms, a kitchen, one that lead to their balcony. The backyards
was planted with various fruit trees which Rizal mentioned in his writhings including:
atis, santol, makopa,kasuy, etch… A small nipa hut served as young Pepe´s hideaway.
The museum of Rizal has six (6) galleries that guide us to tour properly in
his museum and it featuring Rizal´s early education, his travels abroad, and nationalist
undertakings in Europe:
The first thing we noticed in Dr. Jose Rizal’s life was that he lived a simple
one. He did not choose to have a luxurious life like the most of us have wanted. Even
before he became under surveillance by the Spaniards, he had lived his life as simple
as possible. We think it was the work of his parents that made him lived like this. We
strongly believe that one’s lifestyle is influenced mostly by their parents. We learned
from the life of Rizal the importance of taking part of the parents to their children’s
morals.
Even though there is no tour guide when we go there that time, we read and
recognize carefully every details and history about Jose Rizal´s life. And we think that’s
a good place to go when we want a new knowledge about our hero.
