Jose Rizal's Biography
Personal Background
José Protasio Rizal Mercado y
Alonso Realonda or popularly known as José Rizal (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) was a Filipino nationalist and polymath during the tail end of the
Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. An ophthalmologist by profession,
Rizal became a writer and a key member of the Filipino Propaganda Movement
which advocated political reforms for the colony under Spain. He was executed
by the Spanish colonial government for the crime of rebellion after an
anti-colonial revolution, inspired in part by his writings, broke out. Though
he was not actively involved in its planning or conduct, he ultimately approved
of its goals which eventually led to Philippine independence. He is widely
considered one of the greatest heroes of the Philippines, and is implied by
Philippine law to be one of the national heroes. He was the author of the
novels Noli Me Tángere, and El filibusterismo, and a number of poems and
essays.
Reaction:
He is my idol in the field of poems and writings. He's brilliant enough than all can ever be. He leads the Filipinos to fight against colonizer. Through his writing, not through wars. He become a hero not by gun or sword but with his pen and brilliant mind he open our eyes to defend what's our. He's brave even though he show criticism to Spanish but what he brought is freedom for his country.
