    RIZAL’S LIFE, WORKS AND WRITINGS

    1. How important was “time” during the last minute of Rizal’s life?
    Discuss thoroughly & comprehensively.

    Time was extremely important during Dr. Jose Rizal's final minute of life since
    it represented the end of his hardships and the ultimate sacrifice he made for his beliefs
    and the fight for Philippine independence. The Spanish colonial authority executed Dr.
    Jose Rizal on December 30, 1896. "Time" was an important consideration in different
    aspects of his life at that moment. The timing of his execution is greatly influenced by
    time. Dr. Jose Rizal faced the firing squad early in the morning. The timing was
    intentional on the part of the Spanish government in order to send a strong message to
    the Filipino people and put down any potential rebellion. It was additionally assumed
    that Dr. Jose Rizal was aware of the short amount of time he had before his execution.
    He uses this time for reflection, collect his thoughts, and come to terms with the
    situation he finds himself in. He then penned his final poem, "Mi Ultimo Adios," a
    testimony to his love for his country and acceptance of his impending death. Time was
    especially important as he was writing his final letters and sending them to his loved
    ones and fellow revolutionaries, delivering his final thoughts and words of
    encouragement. There was one letter he wrote to his family in which he laid out his
    love and thanks while encouraging them to remain strong in the face of difficult
    circumstances. In addition, Dr. Jose Rizal sent letters not just to his family but also to
    his friend Ferdinand Blumentritt. Dr. Jose Rizal thanked him for their friendship and
    expressed his hope that their efforts to bring about change and progress for the Filipino
    people would continue after his death. His precious lover Josephine Bracken was at his
    side in his last moments. She offered him comfort and support, highlighting the
    importance of companionship and affection in his dying moments. Dr. Jose Rizal chose
    to turn his back on the firing squad rather than face them head-on in the final seconds
    of his life. This symbolic gesture represents Dr. Jose Rizal's defiance of rulers and
    refusal to be frightened by them, even in his death moments. As the seconds ticked by,
    each moment grew more valuable and meaningful.

    2. How did Rizal spend moments of his life? Discuss.

    Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines' national hero, lived an unforgettable and
    significant life from his childhood until his untimely death. Dr. Jose Rizal spent his
    childhood in Calamba, Laguna, where he excelled as a student. He excelled in school
    and received various academic achievements. During the time he lived in Manila, Dr.
    Jose Rizal witnessed the injustices and brutality endured by the Filipino people as a
    result of Spanish colonial control. He observed his countrymen's discrimination and
    maltreatment, which fueled his desire for social reform and nationalism. He also
    studied overseas for a while. He went to Spain to complete his medical studies and then
    studied in France, Germany, and other European nations. Throughout his travels, Dr.
    Jose Rizal immersed himself in the intellectual and cultural ambiance of Europe. He
    spoke with important philosophers, joined reform organizations, and improved his
    writing and speaking talents. Dr. Jose Rizal also used his time abroad to study about
    other European countries' political and social systems, which he eventually used to his
    fight for Filipino independence and social justice. When he returned to the Philippines,
    he kept up his fight for social reform and to campaign for the Filipino people's rights.
    He created numerous notable works, including novels such as "Noli Me Tangere" and
    "El Filibusterismo," which highlighted the Spanish colonial government's and the
    Catholic Church's corrupt practices and acts of violence in the Philippines. Dr. Jose
    Rizal's works wanted to alert the Filipino people to the injustices they faced and urge
    them to strive for a brighter future. He was also a founding member of La Liga Filipina,
    a progressive organization dedicated to uniting Filipinos and gaining representation in
    the Spanish government. His ideas and actions drew the attention of the Spanish
    government, who considered him as a danger to their power as well. He was arrested
    and charged with sedition and conspiracy. Dr. Jose Rizal continued to fight for his ideas
    while imprisoned. He created a manifesto titled "Mi Ultimo Adios" in which he
    emphasized his love for his nation and willingness to make sacrifices for its
    independence. Dr. Jose Rizal spent his final moments imprisoned at Fort Santiago.
    Despite his death sentence, he faced it with courage and dignity, refusing to abandon
    his ideals or betray his nation. Dr. Jose Rizal spent his time in prison contemplating on
    his life and the difficulties of his fellow Filipinos. He also expressed his affection and
    thanks in letters to his family and friends. Even when his own life was nearing to an
    end, he continued to inspire and impact others through his writings. The death of Dr.
    Jose Rizal on December 30, 1896, caused anger and fueled the movement for Philippine
    independence. In the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal's life and activities are still
    commemorated and appreciated. His ideas and principles continue to inspire future
    generations of Filipinos, reminding them of the need of fighting for their rights,
    conserving their culture, and constructing a brighter future for the country.
