 HOW TO USE THIS LEARNING MODULE

Dear Students,

WELCOME TO SMCBI and to ACADEMIC YEAR 2021-2022!

I would like to welcome you to the Rizal module, a guide to learning

about the life and works of the country's premier national hero. With the
advent of social media and the fast-paced dissemination of information
online, we know that by now, you have already met Rizal as the symbol
that is always being shared on the Internet especially in commemorative
days such as the celebration of Philippine Independence every 12th of
June, the birth of Rizal every 19th of June, and Rizal's martyrdom every
30th of December. Even offline, Rizal's image can be seen in
monuments, t-shirts, money, and various everyday items.

Despite the vast use of Rizal's image in the country however, the
question still remains: Who is Rizal? This central question further merits
different auxiliary questions mainly: 1) Who is Rizal as a hero? and 2)
Who is Rizal as a person? For students, a more personal question would
be: Why do we still need to study a person who lived more than 150
years ago? Are the ideas and works of Rizal still relevant today?

This book aims to answer these questions not only by looking at the life
and works of Rizal but also on understanding why Rizal still matters in
today's age. The book also hopes to regain students' interest in the
works of Rizal by looking at how the state promotes Rizal, how the
online world represents and reproduces the image and the story of Rizal,
Rizal's context, and finally, Rizal's ideas that are still relevant in today's
society.

Activities are designed to capitalize on today's technology, especially the

Internet, to provide a timely learning experience to the readers. We
believe that this will enhance not only the learning process but also the
appreciation of young leaders of one of the foundations of the Filipino
nation.

As Rizal stated in his letter to his sister, Trinidad on March 11, 1886, you
are still young, therefore "you should strive to read, read, and learn."
We are very much hoping that you will have a wonderful time using this
module.

To God be the glory!

IV. LESSON DEVELOPMENT:

Introduction:
Rizal, under the pen name P. Jacinto, wrote his own memoirs of his experiences as a student
from Biñan to Manila in 1872. This is a valuable document because it is Rizal's own recollection and
is a primary source regarding his childhood days. Reading through the document provides insight to
Rizal's sentiments towards love and family, as well as to the importance of education.
Now, I want you to read the discussions very carefully and complete all the
activities that follow. This will help you uncover some important points about the Jose
Rizal’s life as a student. Break a leg!
Activity:
You will select a famous individual in history. Then write a biography of the said individual.
Insert or omit at least ten facts about the individuals being written about. Then exchange
biographies with your classmate and identify the omitted and added facts in the biographies being
checked. Identifying errors entails a lot of cross-referencing of facts through different legitimate
sources. Avoid blogs and Wikipedia when searching the Internet. Use reliable sources of information .
Outputs will be written on the next page 6 (including the exchanged biography with your classmate).

Abstraction:
Biographies are literary works that highlight the life of certain individuals. These works,
especially autobiographies and memoirs, are crucial documents or sources in writing history
especially in important events like reform and revolution. Biographies, however, can also be used as
political tools because some facts may be omitted or added in the process of writing. In this sense,
writing a biography or memoir can be both empowering and incriminating. This activity teaches
students to appreciate critical thinking in evaluating facts found in biographies. This also encourages
students to reflect on why some aspects of one person's life are omitted while others are
highlighted.
Rizal wrote his memoirs from 1872 to 1881, composed of 8 chapters spanning his childhood to
his days as a student in Manila. A full translation of the document was made by the Jose Rizal
National Centennial Commission and is available in various sources including books and online
websites. Chapter 1 of the document highlights Rizal's childhood in Calamba providing a personal
description of the place including their house and their lifestyle. Another notable event in the first
chapter is the death of Concha, (Rizal's sister) for whom Rizal shed his first tears.
Chapter 2 documents Rizal's first time away from home when he was sent to study in Binan,
Laguna, as well as his daily routines as a student. This chapter is full of Rizal's longing for his family
and his hometown. Chapter 3 is Rizal's memories of the events that transpired between the years
1871 and 1872 particularly his mother's case. This event really devastated Rizal since his mother was
taken away and imprisoned, leaving them without guidance.
In Chapters 4 and 5, Rizal recounts his time as a student in Manila especially at the Ateneo de
Municipal. In here, he states the different rules implemented by Ateneo to ensure the
competitiveness of its students, as well as the different books that he read, which influenced his own
writing. An example is Alexanre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo that became influential to his
writing of El Filibusterismo.
Chapter 6 is dedicated to Segunda Katigbak, Rizal's first love. Rizal, however, remembers this
period of his life with bitterness. They were both young and Segunda was already engaged to
someone else when they met. There were no significant events in Chapter 7.
In the final chapter, Rizal recalls the fable of the lamp. This story is very important since it
captures Rizal's symbolic representation of the light. From the translation of the Rizal National
Centennial Commission:
My mother began to read to me the fable of the young and the old moths, translating it to me
piece by piece in Tagalog. At the first verses, my attention redoubled in such a way that I looked
towards the light and fixed my attention on the moths that fluttered around it. The story could not
have been more opportune. My mother emphasized and commented a great deal on the warnings of
the old moth and directed them to me as if to tell me that these applied to me. I listened to her and
what a rare phenomenon the light seemed to me more beautiful each time, the flame brighter, and I
even envied instinctively the fate of those insects that played so cheerfully in its magical exhalation.
Those that have succumbed were drowned in the oil; they didn't frighten me. My mother continued
her reading, I listened anxiously, and the fate of the two insects interested me intensely. The light
agitated its golden tongue on one side, a singed moth in one of its movements fell into the oil,
clapped its wings for some time and died. That assumed for me that the flame and the moths were
moving far away, very far, and that my mother's voice acquired a strange, sepulchral timbre. My
mother finished the fable. I was not listening; all my attention, all my mind, and all my thoughts
were concentrated on the fate of that moth, young, dead, full of illusions. "You see?" my mother said
to me taking me to bed. "Don't imitate the young moth and don't be disobedient; you'll get burned
GE 108/RIZAL- RIZAL’S LIFE, WORKS AND

WRITINGS
 like it." I don't know if I replied, promised something, or cried. The only thing I remember is that it
took me a long time before I could sleep. That story had revealed to me things unknown to me until
then. To me, moths ceased to be insignificant insects; moths talked and knew how to warn and
advice as well as my mother did. The light seemed to be more beautiful, dazzling, attractive. I
understand why moths fluttered around lights. Advice and warnings resounded feebly in my ears.
What preoccupied me most was the death of the imprudent, but at the bottom of my heart, I didn't
blame it. My mother's solicitude didn't have all the success that she hoped it would. No; many years
have elapsed; the child has become a man; has plowed the most famous foreign rivers, and
meditated besides their copious streams. The steamship has taken him across the seas and all the
oceans; he has climbed the region of perpetual snow on mountains very much higher than the
Makiling of his province. From experience he has received bitter lessons, oh, infinitely more than the
sweet lesson that his mother gave him, and nevertheless the man preserves the heart of a child and
he believes that light is the most beautiful thing there is in creation and that is worthy for a man to
sacrifice his life for it.

Abstraction:
Rizal's Family
Donya Teodora can be considered as Rizal's first teacher. In Memorias de un Estudiante de
Manila, Rizal looked up to her as the one who influenced his love for learning as shown by their
nightly readings in their house in Calamba. In Letters to the Women of Malolos, Rizal even
recognized the importance of mothers in inculcating this value to their children along with the love
for country as they are the first teachers of their children, at least in the traditional family setting.
Next to Donya Teodora is his brother Paciano, whom he recognized as the noblest of all Filipinos in
GE 108/RIZAL- RIZAL’S LIFE, WORKS AND
BSED/BSIT/BSHM A.Y. 2021-2022 Page 11 of 19
WRITINGS
 one of his letters to Blumentritt. Paciano was responsible for relaying the message of secularization
especially the ideas for reform from Padre Jose Burgos, one of the martyrs who were executed in
Bagong Bayan in 1972 after being accused of playing a part in the Cavite Mutiny.

As a Student in Binan and Manila

Rizal was also home-schooled before he was transferred to a private school in Binan, Laguna,
which was under the supervision of Justiniano Aquino Cruz. His love for painting was nurtured early
on by an old painter named Juancho in Binan. He stayed there for one and a half year.
From 1872-1877, Rizal studied in Ateneo de Manila under the supervision of Jesuit priests. Jesuit
education was characterized by rigid discipline and Rizal appreciated his time under Fr. Francisco de
Paula Sanchez who inspired him to study harder and write poetry. He Was also able to meet Fr. Jose
Villaclara who encouraged Rizal to study philosophy and the natural sciences. Rizal graduated with a
degree of Bachelor of Arts. He also completed a vocational course on surveying in the same school.
From 1877-1882, before his first trip to Europe to study ophthalmology, Rizal enrolled at the
University of Sto. Tomas to pursue his medical studies. Before taking up medical studies, however,
Rizal took up a course on Philosophy and Letters for a year.
In 1882, he was sent to Europe by his brother Paciano with the secret mission to observe the
life, culture, languages and customs, industries and commerce, and governments and laws of
different European countries. Rizal enrolled at the Universidad Central de Madrid on November 8,
1882. While studying medicine, he also studied French, German, and English at the Academy of Fine
Arts of San Fernando, and fencing and shooting at the Hall of Arms of Sanz y Carbonell.

Abstraction:

Rizal's Interests, Skills, and Talents

Rizal studied to become a doctor specializing in ophthalmology. However, he never let his
profession limit what he could do as an individual. Aside from being a doctor, he was also known
among his peers as a prolific writer and he would always be remembered because of his two
novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. He was also trained in the social sciences during his
time in Germany in 1889.
Some scholars attribute Rizal's versatility to his being a genius. The term genius, however, is
still a debatable term, with others measuring it quantitatively through the level of Intelligence

BSED/BSIT/BSHM A.Y. 2021-2022 Page 16 of 19
WRITINGS
 Quotient or IQ; while others measure it quantitatively through an individual's contributions to
society. Regardless of how we measure ingenuity, it is clear that Rizal was a remarkable individual
based on his credentials and his contributions to society.
First, Rizal graduated with high honors when he was studying in Ateneo. He also consistently
had high grades when he was attending school in different universities in the Philippines and
abroad. He was also a dedicated scholar who used his spare time studying other languages and
subjects, as well as other arts, such as poetry, sculpture, painting, and martial arts specifically
fencing. It was said that Rizal was one of the best practitioners of fencing among ilustrados during
their time in Europe.
Also, while we honor Rizal as the doctor and the writer, most of his scientific works were
done during his exile in Dapitan from 1892—1896, when he conducted numerous scientific works
that involved collecting and sending different animal specimens to Blumentritt. He also conducted
business ventures, improved the water system in Dapitan using his background in land surveying,
established a school where he taught arithmetic, writing, geography, and history to young boys in
Dapitan. In his spare time, he created various art works, and conducted various ethnographic,
linguistic, and geographical studies in Mindanao. When he won a lottery on September 21, 1892,
he used the money to buy 16 hectares of land in Talisay, Dapitan where he also practiced his
farming skills.
He did all of these activities while serving also as an ophthalmologist that eventually led to
the romance between Rizal and Josephine Bracken, who one day brought her blind father, Mr.
George Taufer, to R.izal for a medical consultation.
In retrospect, 1892-1896 can be considered as one of the golden ages of Dapitan because of
the help of Dr. Jose Rizal. He engaged in different community projects that boosted the economy
and quality of life in the area. He also remained true to his vow to educate the Filipinos by
establishing a school in Dapitan. Whether he was a genius or not by today's standards, Rizal
embodied his vision of a true scholar and citizen in the service of his country. Rizal was a model of
consistency when he said that the ilustrados in Europe must go back and serve in the Philippines.
In fact, he himself came back in 1892 despite the dangers he faced in the Philippines, even when
he enjoyed a relatively comfortable and safe life as an ophthalmologist in Hong Kong in 1891. He
made sure that even in exile, he used all of his abilities and talents to serve his countrymen.
