    Rizal The Super Human

    Uploaded by

    Filipinos during Spanish colonial rule were largely uneducated, and hoped a figure like God would help them gain freedom from Spanish tyranny. After Jose Rizal was executed, seen as Spain's disgrace, some Filipinos started identifying him as the "Tagalog Christ" and believed he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ due to similarities in their lives like mistreatment and sacrifice for humanity. Religious groups also believed Rizal and Jesus shared missions to benefit mankind, contributing to Rizal's deification as the "Tagalog Christ" and inspiration for Filipino nationalism.

    Rizal the Super Human?

    Why and how Jose Rizal ( the human) became the super human like being
    identified as " Tagalog Christ" or venerated/deified as presented in the video?

    Filipinos were ignorant during the Spanish invasion here in the


    Philippines as they were not properly or have never been educated by
    Spanish colonizers. The bible served as a method of the Spaniards in
    educating our ancestors and use the sacred scriptures of Christianity to
    control the nation. Filipinos hoped for the occurrence of God in hopes of
    attaining freedom as they have suffered from the tyranny during Spanish
    colonialism. Rizal’s execution was characterized as Spain’s disgrace and this
    is when people started to identify Rizal as the “Tagalog Christ”. Filipinos from
    the past believed that he was the reincarnation of Christ. Religious groups
    believed that Jesus Christ and Jose Rizal have similarities such as the
    maltreatment, sacred birth, their fulfilled missions for the benefit of the
    mankind and their sacrifice. There are also other aspects which formed the
    belief of Jose Rizal being the Tagalog Christ, just like what was shown in the
    video “Santo Rizal” wherein the believers have praised Rizal being such an
    inspiring father of Filipino nationalism.
