    CONTRIBUTIONS OF DR.

    JOSE RIZAL

    Jose Rizal wrote El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere, which paved the way for a Filipino uprising
    against Spain.

    His novels and writing are the only which opened the eyes of all filipino and gave them the braveness to
    strive against.

    J. R. was an intellectual. He pushed for reforms and freedom via the pen. Rizal intellectual is only
    pushing reforms but not to liberate the filipinos from freedom or self governing , he just want liberal
    reforms but still the Phlippines will be under the spanish rule at that time. Not like Andres Bonifacio,
    whose idea is total freedom for the filipino , but for the Aguinaldo, he is the true color of our present
    political system , hunger for the power itself and not caring for the people.Rizal wrote a manifesto that
    expressed his disapproval of the armed revolution against Spain. He said that he has always opposed,
    fought, and made clear that armed revolution was impossible, absurd, and disastrous. He explained that
    reforms must "also come from above," because reforms that "come from below are upheavals both
    violent and transitory."

    He emphasized, however, that like any Filipino, he desired our country’s freedom; and that education
    and hard work might make the Filipino people worthy of that freedom. Elsewhere, Rizal wrote: "What is
    the use of independence if the slaves of today will be the tyrants of tomorrow? And no doubt they will,
    because whoever submits to tyranny loves it!" For Rizal, "The gift of reason with which we are endowed
    must be brightened and utilized” in order to overcome ignorance which causes slavery."When the
    Philippine Islands was under the oppressive rule of the Spaniards, his brilliance and dedication to his
    country served as inspiration for his fellow filipino men to fight for their homeland's independence.Rizal
    did have thoughts of eventual independence, but never through violent means. He sacrificed his life for
    the freedom of our country and became a good example of true nationalism. That’s the reason why he is
    the greatest Filipino hero ever lived.He led the Philippine Independence by fighting for reforms through
    writings instead of a bloody revolution. Reform Movement has became an indirect way to our country’s
    freedom. His novels and writings opened the eyes of the Filipino people and brought up a new idea
    called Filipinism. He didn’t use aggression because it will only invoke a revolution through bloody means.
    He fought passively and proved that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. He was able to use his
    intelligence to set forth his beliefs and opinions clearly.He believed that our freedom can be achieved or
    can be won without using force, and declaring war against our colonists. He also believed that the
    children are our hope, that the children will be the one who will seek and fight for our freedom like the
    way he did.He is great because he never used force in fighting the colonists, he used his knowledge and
    wisdom to fight them and let them know his feelings.
    Dr. Jose Rizal was never afraid to expose the wrong deeds of the colonists, even when he was already
    captured and was imprisoned; he never stopped fighting for our freedom and proving that we can do
    something to gain the respect we deserve. He prove that we can achieve our goals through
    perseverance and use our wisdom and knowledge as our foundation.He was able to awakened the mind
    of the people. Even if the Filipinos were scared to fight greedy Spaniards,Rizal helped us through his
    faith that we can conquer the Spaniards.He influenced most of our revolutionary leaders through his
    writings and articles.Most people believed that Rizal’s greatest legacy is his love for his country as
    embodied in his writings and the actions that he took.He accomplished so much in such a short period of
    time because he had a vision in his mind and a mission in his heart. The intensity of such mission and
    vision translated into action that enabled him not to waste time in any trivial matters but rather devote
    all of his time to the accomplishment of the mission and vision that he believed was given to him. I
    salute Rizal for he had faced death with boldness.He had proven the saying goes, "A PEN iS MiGHTiER
    THAN THE SWORD. " Through his works, he wakes the sleeping spirits of Filipinos that physical fighting
    is the only way to fight for our independence. He showed that without killing another man we can win.
    He also demonstrated how the power of the pen could be stronger than the sword. He also showed how
    someone could bring about change without resorting to violence instead of using one’s knowledge.

    One of the many reasons why Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines is because he looked far
    beyond overthrowing the Spaniards. He was more interested in the long situation of the country after
    over throwing Spaniards in our country. This only shows that Rizal is controlled enough to balance his
    eagerness to be free for Spaniards and his visuals after being free from the colonizers.

    The most important thing that Rizal contributed to every Filipino is his story. A story that tells us that
    every one of us must be a good man or a good citizen so that we can help our country to progress.He
    fought for freedom in a silent but powerful way.He used his intelligence, talents and skills in a more
    peaceful way rather than the aggressive way.He also used his outstanding intelligence and patriotic
    character; so he may be able to free his fellowmen from the wickedness of the dreadful Spanish
    government.He started the change for revolution, and although not the advocate, he still paid the
    ultimate price; death. Even without making rousing speeches or bold declarations, he was able to stir
    the people’s inner spirit. He also showed how someone could bring about change without resorting to
    violence. The Katipunan led a full scale revolutionary war against the Spanish colonial government.
    Although Rizal did not push for independence, his writings and execution inspired many to revolt against
    Spain. He instilled the sense of nationalism among citizens oppressed by centuries-old Spanish rule.
    Being a hero does not matter whether you died in a battlefield or not. Being a hero means dying for
    what you believed is true. Jose Rizal died for what he believed.

    He proved that a pen is sharper and mightier than a sword for it can deeply incise a person’s heart
    without causing any physical damage and can show love for its own contaminated country in a more
    serene and appealing way than shedding blood with the use of sword or any

    harmful weapons. Unlike warriors, an idea cannot be killed.The man knew that while they could kill his
    mortal body, the idea of freedom was forever in the minds of the people. It was a concept that would
    burn in the minds of every man. As long as the ideal was burning in the heart, the death of Rizal would
    only be in the physical sense. In spirit, he was in every individual. Rizal fights the spaniards by using his
    intelligence and not by his vengeance. His death is the main reason of all the secret movement in the
    philippines to finally come out and fight for its freedom. A hero could be identified by his noble deeds
    and integrity, as what Rizal has done and shown to us. Actually, it's not really all about the writings, it's
    about Rizal's drive in making the Filipino people realize that we are not dumb enough to be ruled out by
    the Spaniards.
