The Life of Our National Hero.
Why did Rizal say that there was no true civil liberty in the United States America?
Rizal had good and bad impressions of the United States. The good impressions were:
1. The material progress of the country as shown in the great cities, huge farms, flourishing industries, and busy factories;
2. The drive and energy of the American people;
3. The natural beauty of the land:
4. The high standard of living and
5. The opportunities for better life offered to poor immigrants.
One bad impression Rizal had of America was the lack of racial equality. There existed racial prejudice, which was inconsistent with the Principles of Democracy and Freedom of which the Americans talk so much but do not practice. Thus he wrote to Ponce: "They do not have true civil liberty. In some states the Negro cannot marry a white woman, or a white man a Negress. Thus America, said Rizal, 'is the land per excellence of freedom but only for the whites. However, America offers a place for the poor man who is willing to work."
What were the primary reasons why Rizal left for London?
Rizal chose England to be his new home for three reasons:
1. To improve his knowledge of the English language.
2. To study and annotate Morga's "Sucesos de las
Filipinas."
3. London was a safe place for him to carry on his fight against Spanish tyranny.
Why was Rizal interested in Morga's Book?
Rizal spent many months copying the book, "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas" by Antonio de Morga. Morga, who was once a Governor- General in the Philippines, had written about the life and customs of the Filipinos. But it contained some errors. Rizal wanted to publish this book of Morga again, with his annotations
"I am now busy with Morga," wrote Rizal, I will copy the whole book and have a new one. Published for the Filipinos. I am doing this only for my country because the work will bring me neither honor nor money."
While patiently copying for many months, Rizal at the same time corrected errors Morga had made.
While in London, why did Rizal say that his happy days were over?
The government in the Philippines wanted to punish him, but they could not reach him. So, they punished his relatives. One way of punishing them was to make their life hard. The lands of some of Rizal's brothers-in-law were taken away from them.
Rizal found out that, because he was trying to help his countrymen, his parents and relatives were made to suffer. "My happy days," said Rizal "were over when I read the news that Hidalgo was exiled to Bohol. I am giving trouble to my family." Rizal became even more eager to work hard to help his unhappy people.
While he was in London, How did Rizal spend his spare time?
Rizal spent his spare time wisely while he was living in London. After reading and studying in the British Museum, he would go to the house of Antonio Ma. Regidor and tell him the new things he had learned about the Philippines.
Sometimes Rizal would have interesting conversations with Dr. Rost who was a wise man, a librarian and a writer.
Rizal also spent his spare time carving and painting. He carved Prometheus Bound, The Triumph of Death over Life, The Triumph of Science over Death, and the heads of the daughter of Charles Beckett.
After annotating Morga's "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas", what articles were written by Rizal in London?
Rizal wrote articles for La Solidaridad. He wrote "Los Agricultores Filipinos" (The Filipino Farmers). In this initial article, he depicted the deplorable conditions in the Philippines, which cause the backwardness of the country.
He further wrote "La Vision de Fray Rodriguez" (The Visions of Fray Rodriguez) which was published in Barcelona under his non-de plume Dimasalang, where Rizal demonstrated his profound knowledge of religion and his mastery of style in Satire. He also wrote the "Letter to the Young Women of Malolos." This was written through the request of Marcelo H. del Pilar to praise the young women of Malolos for their courage and determined effort to establish a school where they could learn Spanish.
Mga bayaning babae.
Kapag tayo ay hinihingian ng mga pangalan ng isa sa ating mga bayaning Pilipino, sinu-sino sa kanila ang maaari mong isagot?
Marahil ang ating iisagot ay si Doktor Jose Rizal, Emilio Aguinaldo, Apolinario Mabini, Lapu-lapu, Diego Silang at kahit pa si Heneral Antonio Luna. Maaring sa mga nabanggit sa isa diyan ay ang iyong masasagot.
Walang opisyal na listahan ng mga bayani ang Pilipinas. May iba na nagpapasa ng pinal na listahan ng mga bayani pero ito ay di pinapasa ng lehistratura upang maiwasan ang mga debate at komplekasyon patungkol sa mga kontrobersiya ng nakaraan tungkol sa mga bayani.
Karamihang sa mga bayani ay pawang mga lalaki at iilan lamang at nakikilalang mga babae na naging parte ng kasaysayan sa Kalayaan ng Pilipinas.
Dito sa artikulong ito ay mababasa ninyo at malalaman ang tungkol sa limang matatapang na babaeng bayani ng bansang Pilipinas na karapat-dapat na alalahanin. Ang mga babaeng ito ay hindi lamang nagrerepresenta ng simpleng babae. Huwag mo silang kakalimutan at ang kanilang mga nagawa para sa susunod na may magtanong sayo, ikaw ay handa na iyong isasagot.
**1. Gabriela Silang** **(1731-1763****)**
Si Gabriela Silang ay marahil ang pinakakilala **na** babaeng Pilipinong bayani, pero siya ay lagi lamang nababanggit kasama ng kanyang asawa na si Diego. Dahil sa kanilang mga nagawa ay naisulat bilang iisa, nakakalimotan na ng nakararami na may sarili itong kontribosyon bilang "Unang babae na namuno ng grupo ng mga rebolusyonayo".
Si Gabriela ay isang matapang na mandirigmang Ilocaña na pumalit sa kanyang asawa bilang tagapagmuno ng hukbo matapos ito patayin noong 1763.
Pinamunoan niya ang pakikipaglaban nito sa mga kastila sa kanilang probinsya sa Ilocos. Inatake nila ang mga sundalong kastila na siyang nagpakilala sa grupo sa mga ito.
Sa huling pakikipaglaban nito sa Vigan, pinamunoan nita dalawang libo (2,000) na Pilipinong sundalo laban sa hukbo ng mga kastila na may anim na libo (6,000) na mga sundalo.
Sapagkat sila ay di nagtagumpay, nahuli at binitay, si Gabriela Silang ay kinilala pa rin dahil sa kanyang katapangan para sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas.
**2. Tandang Sora** **(1812-1919****)**
Ang totoong pangalan ni Tandang Sora ay **Melchora Aquino** na nakilala sa tawag na "Ina ng Rebolusyon". Isang ina na magsasaka na naiwan ng kanyang yumaong asawa pati na ang anim na anak nito.
Tinawag siya na Tandang Sora dahil sa paggagamot nito kila Andres Bonifacio at ng mga Katipunero noong taong 1896. Nakilala ang kanyang katapangan matapos siyang mahuli ng mga kastila para itukoy ang kinaroroonan ng ibang mga rebeldeng Pilipino pero tinanggihan niyang sumagot dito.
**3. Teresa Magbanua** **(1868-1947****)**
Isang Guro at dating asawa ng mayaman na nag-aari ng malalaking kalupaan. Hinusay niya sa panahong yun ang kanyang pangangabayo at pag-aasinta gamit ang baril sa kanilang malawak na lupain.
Nang malaman niyang sumali ang kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki sa hukbo, pinilit niya rin ang kanyang tiyohin na si **Heneral Perfecto Poblador** na siya ay isali sa Katipunan ng mga babae sa kanilang lugar. Pumayag ang Heneral, na siyang nagtakda kay Teresa Magbanua bilang kauna-unhang babaeng namuno ng rebolusyonaryo sa Visayas.
Nakipaglaban ito hanggang sa dumating ang mga Hapon sa Pilipinas upang sila naman ang manakop.
**4. Josefa Llanes Escoda** **(1898-1945****)**
Isa sa dalawang babae na nailagay ang larawan sa papel na pera ng Pilipinas. Ang isang babae ay Melchora Aquino o si Tandang Sora.
Pinakamatanda sa pitong magkakapatid at tumutulong sa kanyang ina na alagaan ang mga kapatid dahil namatay ang kanilang ama noong 1918, habang siya ay nag-aaral ng edukasyon sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.
Nang mangyari ang ikalawang pandaigdigang digmaan, ang kanyang pagtulong at paggamot sa apektado ng digmaan ay siyang kadahilanan upang siya ay hulihin, ikulog at bitayin.
**5. Magdalena Leones** **(1921-2012****)**
Isa sa mga di gaanong kilala na bayani noong World War 2 kahit siya lang ang kaisa-isahang Asyanong babae na nabigyan ng Silver Star sa World War 2 ng Estados Unidos.
Ipananganak siya sa bulubundokin ng Kalinga at anak ng isang misyonaryo.
Dahil sa pagtanggi nito na sumuko matapos ang pagbagsak ng Bataan, kinulong siya ng limang buwan. Habang nasa kulongan, sinanay niya ang sarili na magsalita ng Niponggo.
Naging "Special Agent" siya ni Kernel Russel Volckman ng Estados Unidos. At ginawa niya ito bilang oportonidad para makakuha ng mahalagang impormasyon sa mga hapon. Dahil dito, tinawag siyang "The Lioness of Filipino Guerilla Agents".
Si Magdalena Leones ay yumaon lang noong 2015.
Iilan lamang sila sa mga matatapang na babae ba lumaban para sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas na dapat nating pasalamatan at kilalanin.
Kung gusto mo pa malaman ang ibang mga bayani, sigurdahonin mo lang na naka-subscribe ka. Salamat!

What if you win millions of dollar?
You are just an ordinary guy living a very boring life. You spend your day doing almost nothing except for eating and going anywhere you want. Eat, social medias, sleep and repeat. That's all your activities for every single day.
One sunny day, the sky was bright and clear, you decided to go out and take a walk around, finally! You concluded to yourself that you need to have some light and fresh air in the morning.
Upon walking, you stopped in a shady place to take a rest as you were exhausted for a simple tour. You decided to take a rest in that shade even for just an hour.
You were about to lay down in a green grass and wanted to close your eyes for a nap, when something not so noticeable got your attention.
You saw a cellophane containing some coins around 30 cents and inside a cellophane is also some piece of paper wrapped in another cellophane.
You open it as you got so curious what it is and why does it looks like an important thing as it was wrapped inside.
After opening it, you notice that there are 6 numbers in it, in a squared piece of paper, it was printed, accordingly 34 43 12 25 23 11 - it was a lottery ticket!
You notice that the ticket will be drawn in the next day. So you look around if someone was looking for it. You waited for more than an hour....but no one came.
Then you just went home taking the lottery ticket with you.
When you have reached your house, you just simply put the ticket below your television and then directly head straight to your room to surf the internet.
Then you just spent your time again facing your smartphone till afternoon.... then night came... until you fall asleep.
And you didn't even take your dinner!
The next day came when the ticket should be drawn, but you have almost forgotten about the ticket.
As usual, you want to spend again your day doing nothing. That day, all you did was to sleep... sleep... and sleep!
You woke up exactly when night falls, then you heard your mother shout very loud that it looks like something very bad happen.
You quickly got up and went to your mother.
Then you saw her with her eyes almost gouging out, facing the television, holding a piece of paper.
Your mother asked you if you purchased a ticket yesterday and told you to look at the television.
You look at the TV and saw a numbers still flashing on the TV screen.
**34 43 12 25 23 11**
Then you remember the ticket you saw yesterday.
The number you are seeing on the screen was very much the same with numbers that were in the ticket.
After that moment, you heard the man on the TV announcing the Jackpot prize.
You heard it exactly.... **$23 million!**
You can't believe it! You are now rich!
The next day, you claim your prize started to make use of it.
You bought a house, lot, cars, motorcycles and even donated in a charity event in your area.
You make sure your money won't go to waste so you decided to put some in a bank, invested in a trusted names and avoids gambling like in the casinos.
And you also build a big business firm in your area to help those who are in needs financially.
You have now a very wonderful life, not boring anymore as you have decided to act as a business-minded man now. What a lucky life!
If you, the one reading this, won a jackpot on a lottery, what would you do?
What will you do with the money?
This is just an example story of lucky individual to win a big jackpot/amount of money.
