We all know that Dr. Rizal is one of our national heroes and for me, he is the greatest. He is known for
his two great novels the noli me tangere and el filibusterismo and he live his life like us but his mentality
belongs is so great and he learned a lot of things in his journey in the other countries that he visited or in
other words, he is genius. He sacrificed his life in order for us to be independent.
Rizal is the greatest Filipino hero for me because he is genius and he planned all his moves against the
Spaniards in order for the Filipinos to lift or wake the Filipinos up and rise up from the unnecessary
things that was done to them. Rizal did not like the rule or the criticisms and the rage of the Spaniards to
the Filipinos because if you see that our country is like that now, we might be so mad and can’t do an
action to stop the rage or madness of the Spaniards. Rizal is so brave that he did an action against the
Spaniards to stop the wrong doings of them. By his two great novels, Rizal expresses his anger against
the Spaniards that he knows that his life would be in danger if he did that thing, with all his feelings; he
put his life in danger to wake us up. The journey that Rizal had gone through help him so much in order
to come up with a nice novel because in his journey, he learned the different cultures and the
government of the other countries and he wants to apply it in our country for us to have a nice or better
country than others. Being independent in our own country makes our life peaceful because you can live
your life without a ruler that is beside you and torture you if you commit a single yet simple or little
mistake.
All the things that was done to the Filipinos before, is not nice to see because living in your country, you
must die for your country that is what we called the nationality. What might be the essence of living in
your country without defending it? So that is why Rizal is our greatest national hero.
