Heroes are known for saving people's lives. when talking about them, who comes in mind first? Generally, Jose Rizal is considered as the national hero of the Philippines. among all the heroes in our country, he is what comes in our minds first. What was Jose Rizal's greatest contribution to Philippine society? He used his intelligence and skills in writing.
Jose Rizal used his skills in writing to open the minds of his fellow Filipinos. He wrote the Noli Me Tangere which contains all of the observed sickness of our country which is known as the "kanser ng lipunan". He wrote all of his observations in his book. He wrote all of the abuses every Filipino experienced and the bigger people using their power to get what they want from everyone of us. He published this book which was read by every Filipinos.
Their minds were opened when they read this book and was encouraged to fight for their rights as a human being but also as a Filipino in their very own country. He again published his book entitled "El Fili Busterismo" which shows his patriotism. His love for his country is incomparable, even if it's not safe for him to do something against the colonizers, he still did everything that he could do to save his fellow Filipinos and his country even if it means his death. He did everything for our country to have freedom and to have a bright future. And now, we finally have this freedom.
Jose Rizal may not used a sword like our other heroes did but he used his pen to open the minds of the people. He opened their minds using a simple pen and a paper with all of his skills and purpose which is more than enough. Let us not forget about this legend who also saved our country.
JOSE RIZAL
