Have you ever looked at a one-peso coin and wondered why Jose Rizal’s face is in there? Most people would think that he's just a writer and a bayani that we have to study in school, but he was really more than that. He used his knowledge and awareness to show Filipinos that we did not have to live under the control of others. Without his courage, bravery, and determination we might not know what it truly means to be free just like today. He showed us that being brave is about speaking the truth and fighting for it.
In writing a research study, it taught us that you must find a problem first before you can formulate a solution to fix it. That is exactly what Rizal did when he wrote his famous books. He used his pen to show everyone the corruption that has been happening in our country back then and the unfair things happening in our nation. He did not use violence to fight his battles. Instead, he used his words to make people realize that they deserved a much better life.
Rizal helped us see that we are one single nation instead of just different groups of people. He taught us that loving our country means studying hard and always fighting for what's right. Today, his legacy lives on in every student who has big dreams for the future. He did not just die for the Philippines. He lived his life to make sure that our voices would finally matter.
