From the view of the image, it shows how heroic Jose Rizal became; it shows the peacefulness after he sacrificed his life for the freedom of the Filipinos.

The park, once known as Bagumbayan, was renamed in Rizal's honor and turned into a center of pride and remembering for the country. It displays the Rizal Monument, a bronze sculpture of Rizal, as well as the grandeur of the historic site with its elaborate architecture and rich landscaping. The imposing obelisk honoring Rizal is highlighted by the composition of the image, and the calm and openness of the setting are enhanced by the background's deep blue sky.

The memorial depicts a statue of Rizal standing tall with two of his famous novels in hand, "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo", and an obelisk with three stars behind him all on a stone base. The Rizal Monument boasts a distinguished shape that makes it immediately noticeable and with form and spacing that makes it the center of attention. The contrast between the obelisk and the statues grabs the viewer's attention and the difference in the statue's poses give an emphasis on Rizal himself all the while still attaining balance and unity among the whole piece. The monument represents the oppression that the Filipinos have suffered and the stand that Rizal took in order to combat the problem. It symbolizes the constant struggle of the Philippines with equality and suppression and it conveys the vast and rich history that the country holds. I think that the monument is a wonderful and inspirational work of art because of its historical meaning and simple yet deep composition.  ]]> 2023-03-08 19:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/maribelenriquezmarasigan/enr19pn6iidvjo3g/wish/2509128980 Zyi Tii M.

The government and other organizations have invested in its preservation, highlighting its importance as a cultural treasure. 
    
          The design of the monument has strong European influence, particularly in its neoclassical style. I saw this as a reflection of the Philippines’ colonial past and I think that the monument should have been designed in a more distinctly Filipino style. Despite of this, the Jose Rizal monument remains a significant symbol of Philippine history and identity.

The 1896 Philippine Revolution against the Kingdom of Spain was sparked by the execution of Filipino patriot José Rizal on December 30, 1896, in the same location.

The monument features a bronze figure of Rizal, standing upright in a noble pose, signifying his resolute spirit for the nation. The monument represents a symbol of national dignity and loyalty, and is widely acknowledged as a prominent landmark in the Philippines. 
Despite its intended purpose as a representation of national pride and patriotism, the monument suffers from significant shortcomings that detract from its efficacy as a public monument. The monument's location in Rizal Park, though situated centrally in Manila, is engulfed by busy streets and commercial establishments, rendering it incapable of serving its intended function as a tranquil and reflective space. As depicted in the image, there exists a particular building that completely ruins the entire view, and in my personal estimation, it is extremely exasperating. Improvements in the monument's placement, form, and maintenance are vital to elevate its effectiveness and pay homage to Rizal's legacy fittingly.

It is originally known as Bagumbayan during the Spanish era, marks the spot where the country's national hero Jose Rizal was executed in 1896. By honoring Jose Rizal's brave effort for his motherland, the Rizal Monument serves as a valuable national legacy for Filipinos. Despite its historical significance, Rizal Park has faced challenges in preserving its heritage. The park has been a victim of neglect, with many of its historic structures and landmarks left to deteriorate. One example is the Rizal Monument, which has been defaced and vandalized several times, most recently in 2020. The park's management has also faced criticism for allowing commercialization and development within the park, such as the construction of a hotel and a theme park.

Macalindong arisneilmacalindong https://padlet.com/maribelenriquezmarasigan/enr19pn6iidvjo3g/wish/2513182666 Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero, stood proud and tall over the heart of the monument. With his gaze casted upon the sky, he firmly clasped his hands around his novels that sparked the flames of revolution. Accompanied by a noble presence that prompted respect from all who gazed upon him, it was as if he was still watching over his beloved nation unrestrained by death. 

The monument itself was a classical masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. Every curve and contour of Rizal’s features had been chiseled in time with exceptional dexterity, creating a life-like statue that hummed in patriotism. 

But despite the monument’s magnificence, there was a sense of uneasiness that one cannot easily dispel. For as proud as the nation was of this symbol of heritage, there was a blemish that marred the otherwise perfect landscape. In the distance, a modern building towered over the scene, jarring against the artistry of the monument. In a single flash, the symmetry that the country fought to protect had been distorted.

Even so, people took solace in the footprints that Rizal had left behind. His memories and knowledge that freed us from the shackles of oppression will never be forgotten. His existence will continue to live and forever etched into history.
