According to Ambeth Ocampo, “We have a national hero who wrote a lot for a nation that does not read him.”

Studying the life and works of Rizal influences the way we perceive things. Through readings about our history, we are able to ignite the nationalism that could’ve been lost prior to studying Rizal’s life. It enables us to remember the sacrifices of our heroes and provides historical and cultural context of the Philippines during his time.

For me, Rizal is the almost perfect embodiment of a nationalistic Filipino. I believe in education over violence. Thus, if I were to choose to study a national hero, Rizal is my go to hero.

Rizal was not only a human with great abilities in creating written literature but he bombarded us the true definition of how an individual should embrace the sense of true nationalism and what it means to be a Filipino. He reminded us how education can elevate the lives of many and how pure history can be the source of change :>>

As mentioned by Jose P. Laurel, Rizal's novels are "pages we see ourselves as a mirror". The novels give a depiction of what was it like back then. The flaws and injustices the time period had. The actions and sacrifices we had to take. By looking back, we get to be conscious and learn from the past. In the sense that these mistakes shall never be allowed to be repeated again. Reading Rizal enables us to be conscious people, by being conscious people is when we achieve peace and freedom.
