    Name: Course & Year: Subject: Date

    Read the following excerpt from a letter José Rizal wrote to Mariano Ponce. Answer the
    Questions that follow.

    Without 1872 there would not be now either a Plaridel, or Jaena, or Sanciangco, or would there
    exist brave and generous Filipino colonies in Europe; without 1872 Rizal would be a Jesuit now
    and instead of writing Noli Me Tángere, would have written the opposite. At the sight of those
    injustices and cruelties, while still a child, my imagination was awakened, and I swore to devote
    myself to avenge one day so many victims, and with this idea in my mind I have been studying
    and this can be read in all my works and writings. God will someday give me an opportunity to
    carry out my promise. Good! May they commit abuses, let there be imprisonments,
    banishments, executions, good. Let Destiny be fulfilled! The day they lay their hands on us, the
    day they martyrize innocent families for our faults, goodbye, friar government, and perhaps,
    goodbye Spanish government!

    1. What is Rizal’s main message in this letter?


    Rizal's main message in this letter is that, he assured that someday he will take
    vengeance against Spaniards, who took advantage of the Filipino who were victims of
    abuses and cruelties, he hopes that one day, our nation will become free of injustice and
    corruption. That one day Rizal will avenge for the injustice and cruelty of the victims,
    that one day Filipinos will begin fulfilling the timeless challenge of Rizal.

    2. List two things in the letter that support Rizal’s main message.
    Revenge and Justice

    3. What does the letter tell you about nineteenth century Philippines?
    Despite his deprivations, he continued to push himself to serve his nation’s cause
    finally producing his greatest work, the novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo,
    works that paved his way to an untimely death but also to a lasting place in the hearts
    and minds of his compatriots. For the welfare of the Native Land. On the day when all
    Filipinos should think like him [Del Pilar] and like us, on that day we shall have fulfilled
    our arduous mission, which is the formation of the Filipino nation. To Rizal that nation
    was a nation free of injustice, oppression and corruption. May the Filipinos of today
    finally begin fulfilling this timeless challenge of Rizal.
