    LESSON 4:

    RIZAL AND NATION-BUILDING


    LESSON INTRODUCTION:
    RIZAL HAD ENVISIONED IN THE PAST A FUTURE
    GENERATION OF ENLIGHTENED AND EDUCATED FILIPINOS;
    A TIME WHEN FILIPINOS WOULD READ HIS WRITINGS NOT
    AS A HERETIC BUT AS A PERSON WITH THE SAME
    NATIONAL SENTIMENT AS HE HAD ONCE. TODAY, RIZAL IS
    NOT JUST READ OUT OF APPRECIATION BUT ALSO AS A
    PRIMARY WEAPON TO DICTATE THE IDENTITY OF THE
    FILIPINOS, WHICH IN TURN HAS A DIRECT CORRELATION TO
    BUILDING THE NATION. THIS LESSON AIMS TO POINT OUT
    THE ROLE OF JOSE RIZAL IN TODAY'S PROCESS OF NATION-
    BUILDING.
    EXPLORATION: CHORAL RECITATION
    Rizal wrote a poem containing his farewell message before
    his execution. He put it inside a small cooking stove and
    gave it to his sister Trinidad. "There is something inside it,"
    he said in English to prevent any suspicion from the
    authority. This masterpiece is now known as "Mi Ultimo
    Adios" or "Last Farewell." After his death, Trinidad went to
    Andres Bonifacio and turned over the last message to him.
    Brilliant as he was, the Supremo translated the poem into
    Tagalog so that every Filipino can understand it. From the
    original 14 stanzas of Rizal, Bonifacio transformed the poem
    into his own work of art by adding stanzas and by using
    words close to the Filipino's heart. Moreover the meaning
    oled Ang Huling and the nation has been highlighted. This
    Masayang sa iyo’y aking idudulot ang lanta kong
    buhay na lubhang malungkot, maging maringal man
    at labis ang alindog sa kagalingan mo ay akin ding
    handog.

    Sa pakikidigma at pamimiyapis Ang alay ng iba’y


    ang buhay na kipkip, Walang agam-agam, maluwag
    sa dibdib Matamis sa puso at di ikahahapis.
    LESSON DISCUSSION:
    Philippine History is a repository of the nation's
    collective memory. It should not be seen as a mere
    subject waiting to be memorized by students. It
    should be taken from the heart. Like breathing out
    and breathing in, studying History should be second
    nature to all Filipinos. This is the reason why History
    is translated in Filipino as Kasaysayan. Its root word
    is Saysay (essence). The narrative of the past must
    be seen as vital to their existence.
    • Likewise, studying the life, works, and writing of Rizal must
    be well entrenched in every Filipino's soul. Lessons about
    his life, like his education, lovers, past time. etc. are all
    useless if not applied in real life. The same idea can be
    seen in the logic behind the annual commemoration of
    Rizal Day. How many among the youth today imbibe the
    essence of Rizal Day? Rizal Day is not just a non-working
    public holiday to serve as an opportunity to stroll around
    malls, swim in beaches, and watch movies on Netflix. It is
    an opportunity for everyone to fulfill what Gemino Abad
    referred to as the crucial infinitives in life "to read, to think,
    to write." Just like what Rizal did in the past, everyone is
    enjoined to participate in political and social processes of
    building the nation, not necessarily great things right away
    but in small yet impactful ways. Especially the youth, they
    CHAPTER 2 #RIZAL LIFE

    Description:This chapter introduces students to Rizal's life specifically his context. In


    studying the context of a certain individual or historic event, one must take into
    consideration the time, place, and the people or the overarching ideas present during
    the time in question. Rizal lived in the late 19th century, a time when various reforms
    were being implemented in the country. The situation of the Philippines, however, was
    not as inclusive and the gap between the rich and the poor created a tense
    atmosphere that eventually created nationalistic activities and organizations like the
    propaganda movement in Spain and the revolutionary movement (KKK) in the
    Philippines. It is important for students to know the events during Rizal's time, the
    places that he visited, as well as the people and ideas that he encountered to further
    understand the formation of Rizal's personality and consciousness.
