CLASS SCHEDULE: GE 1213 - 16-202 (Thursday – 11AM-2PM) PERSONAL REVIEW These episodes showed a tragic history of our country. The first episodes, especially one, were entertaining and full of thrill. However, upon watching the movie, the longer it takes, the worse it gets. The film presented to us how Filipino children were punished and suffered in the past. Torture and harassment were seen in three martyrs – the GOMBURZA. In this episode also shows Pasciano's determination to reform the justice system. Apart from that, maladministration is evident in Ilustrados, as Donya Lolay was imprisoned after falsely accusing her older brother's wife, Donya Teodora, of poisoning her. The characters involved are: At some point, watching this movie makes me want to go back to the past, Tiya Lina, Doña Lolay or Teodora Alonso y wherein men express courtship through Mercado, Don Kikoy or Francisco letters, poems, and serenading (harana). Mercado, Padre Amado, Leonor, Eduardo de Lete, Olympia Mercado, Pedro Paterno, Aside from that, Rizal demonstrated the abuse of the guardia civil. A guardia civil LESSONS I learned that we should learn to speak up and fight for our rights and freedom because these rights give us power and enable us to speak up and challenge poor treatment, like what Pasciano did in the movie. Another lesson that I learned is that being curious is not a bad thing at all. Curiousness will make us knowledgeable, like what Rizal did. The movie shows the early curiousness of Rizal in his surroundings. In the first episode, we can already see how Rizal explores things that he is curious about Rizal loves being told a story that will lead him to other conclusions. I learned that risking Is better than regretting. One of the most important methods to develop one's abilities and acquire experience, much like Rizal did, is to take risks. This revelation led Rizal Antonio Paterno, Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, Graciano López-Jaena, Mariano Ponce, Marcelo del Pilar, and Antonio Luna. Episodes 11-15 The characters involved are: Pepe or Jose Rizal, Maximo Viola, Venchito Monteverde, Eduardo de Lete, Consuelo Ortiga, Padre Amado, Conchita Monteverde, Paciano Mercado, Leonor Rivera, Juan Luna, Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, Gobernador Heneral, Francisco Mercado, Teodora Mercado, and Charles Kipping beat him up for not showing respect or courtesy. Aside from that, the Ilustrados' perspective on the friars was very appropriate at the time because they abused Filipinos by asking them to give more money to the Church to be absolved of their sins. Padre Amado was a selfish priest who rejected Tiya Lina's dead body and refused to pray for her body. I also observed that people would pressure women to marry a wealthy Spaniard at the time. Episodes 11 through 15 summarize Rizal's experiences living abroad, his battles and successes with his friends, his unwavering commitment to achieving academic success, and his notoriety as an eye surgeon. These stories also depict Rizal's unwavering devotion to the country and his purpose to abolish the oppressive rule of the friars and the Spanish government via his provocative to temporarily leave his motherland, his family, and the person he loved most in order to fulfill his aim of assisting his nation in achieving independence. I also learned how education would never be as expensive as ignorance. Education will allow us to gain new information that will enhance our lives. Rizal's relentless ambition to learn new things and further his academic career made this particular lesson evident. Due to his dedication to study, Rizal recognized the value of education in creating a group of Filipinos who might guide the country toward freedom and self-determination. I learned the importance of building a strong bond with family and friends. He was grateful to his friends and family who supported him on his journey. He expressed his devotion by doing well in school and expanding the information he had acquired from others around him. I also learned to better to die for freedom than be a prisoner all the days of my life. Rizal urges him to return to the Philippines and fight for what he believes and what he think is right. He speeches and writings, which prepared the way for the Filipinos' enlightenment. When he was about to give up on publishing Noli Me Tangere, I was moved when his buddy Maximo Viola stood by him and pushed him to keep going. Episodes 16-20 The characters involved are: Pepe or Jose Rizal, Juan Luna, Nellie Boustead, Leonor Rivera Kipping, Henry Charles Kipping, Doña Conchita Monteverde, Padre Amado, Venchito Monteverde, Isidra Monteverde, Antonio, Mariano Ponce, Doña Lolay or Teodora Alonso y Mercado, Maria Mercado, Carmen, Gregoria de Jesus, Valentin Ventura, and Eduardo Boustead. In this episode, Rizal began composing Noli Me Tangere, which Viola assisted him in publishing. The Noli Me Tangere gave the Filipinos the motivation and opened their eyes to defend their beloved nation because this book showed how the Spanish government was so unfair and unethical. After that, Rizal proposed marriage to Leonor. However, Leonor's parents discouraged her because they believed that Rizal was making enemies because of his writings. I felt sad how the relationship between Rizal and Leonor ended like that despite their love for each other. It is upsetting that Leonor was partnered with another man since women then had no voice and were expected to obey their parents. Furthermore, the Spanish government was afraid of the revolution of Filipinos, and they ended up burning the Noli Me Tengere. It is also upsetting that the friars set fire to the dwellings of "Filibustero," claiming numerous lives. Nevertheless, I was happy returned to let everyone know he was willing to die for the nation. Padre Amado portrayed his character as an abusive friar. I learned how the so-called leaders, a.k.a friars were selfish and greedy during that time. And this whole story/movie also reminded me to be aware and mindful to avoid having the same fate as Padre Amado. A book changed Filipinos. The Noli Me Tangere inspired revolt and enlightenment by addressing the injustices suffered by Filipinos or indios at the hands of its dictatorial rulers, friars, and the Spanish government. Like Rizal, whose life was cut short by the Spaniards, the inspiring legacy he left for Filipinos will live forever. As a result, regardless of how successful we are, we must see that Padre Amado died, along with his companion.
