21-25 Rizal deserves to be called the First Filipino

Rizal is the First Filipino because he was the only one among our many heroes to inspire a nation.
Jose Rizal fought from freedom in a quiet and powerful way. He expressed his love for the Philippines
through his novels, essays, articles and poetry rather than the power of invasion. Above all, the
consciousness he helped shape, that sense of nation that he helped foster, define the Philippines as it is
today. He was truly deserved to be called the First Filipino.

26-30 Although Rizal was not awarded the grand prize for his play El Consejo de los Dioses, he was
able to prove something.

For the first time in the history, an Indio – a nineteen-year-old Filipino medical student that excelled in a
national literacy contest defeating several Spanish writers of his time in Manila. Rizal proved the
misbelief of the alleged Spanish superiority over the Filipinos and revealed that Filipinos could hold his
own fair competition against all races.

31-35 Rizal first brutally under the Civil Guard made a deep impression on him.

Rizal had his first taste of Spanish brutality during his first summer vacation at Calamba after his
freshman year at UST. When Rizal didn’t recognize the man who is Guardia Civil, he whips out his sword
and slashed it at Rizal’s back. Rizal was wounded and he sent a written a complaint to Governor- General
Primo de Rivera about the incident but nothing positive came out from his complaint.

31-35 Genius knows no race

I believe that being a bright minded person does not require you to belong in such successful or

flourished races to say that you are really born genius. Being a genius does not choose a country or race
and that everyone, even if you belong to one of the poorest countries in the world, is a born genius. We
just have to cultivate our innate brilliance in honing our own abilities, skills or intelligence.
