RIZAL: HUMAN and HERO
1. Reverence without understanding is
for deities, not flesh and blood heroes
like Rizal. Hero-worship must be both
historical-critical.” (Ocampo: 1969)
2. Rizal was capable of unraveling the
myths that were woven by the
oppressors of his time, but he would
have been at a loss to see through the
more sophisticated myths and
recognize the subtle techniques of
present-day colonialist, given the
state of his knowledge and experience
RIZAL: HUMAN and HERO
3. Many of his social criticisms are still
valid today because certain aspect of
our life is still carry-over of the feudal
and colonial society of his time.

that matter, we must be able to learn
more about him – not merely his acts
but the thoughts behind his acts, his
reasons, the situation he found
himself in as well as his motivations

will show how you can
manifest your love for
your country?
b) State the best
sacrifice that you have
done or can do for
