    Rizal viewed the role of educated individuals in society as transformative agents of change. He believed education could elevate a country to glory and drive social progress by developing people's minds. Works like A la Juventud Filipina and Por la Educasion Recibe Lustre la Patria also demonstrated Rizal's views on the importance of education. Intellectuals like Jose Burgos and the Illustrados were targeted by the repressive Spanish colonial regime because their education empowered them to advocate for Filipino political rights, secularization of the church, and equality under Spanish rule - threatening the regime's oppressive control.

    1. How did Rizal view the role of an educated individual in society?

    For Rizal, the mission of education is to elevate the country to the highest seat of
    glory and to develop the people’s mentality. Since education is the foundation of society
    and a prerequisite for social progress, Rizal claimed that only through education could the
    country be saved from domination. Rizal views the role of an educated individual in
    society as a transformative weapon. For him, education will lead you to a lot of
    realizations. It will open your eyes to reality. During the Spanish Era, Rizal experienced
    being bullied and criticized for being an Indio. Filipinos were called “Mangmang”,
    “Walang alam”, “Bobo”, “Makasalanan”and “Inutil”. Filipinos were deprived of their
    freedom and human rights, especially their rights to education. When he studied he made
    a lot of realizations, he was able to learn a lot of things, he gathered some knowledge and
    important information that he used in creating novels that lead to revolutions and
    changes. Educated people viewed Rizal as a hope and a change. Remember that
    knowledge is a powerful weapon in the world. Through education, it will help you to be
    aware of multiple problems, you can formulate solutions to solve that problem, to put an
    end to the country's social problems, be free from a colonial mindset and education will
    make everything impossible possible. It will lead you to a better future.

    2. Aside from the works mentioned in the discussion, what other works of Rizal mentioned
    or showed the importance of education?
    Aside from Memorias de un Estudiante de Manila and El Filibusterismo, the
    value of education was also demonstrated by Por la Educasion Recibe Lustre la Patria
    and A la Juventud Filipina. Rizal underlines the importance of schooling in one's future
    in A la Juventud Filipina (Ronica Valdeavilla, 2018). While in Por la Educasion Recibe
    Lustre la Patria, the poem speaks of the Jesuits, the ratio studiorum (study plan),
    (WORLD 'S PHILIPPINE Knowledge HUB), who formed a close relationship between
    education and faith.
    3. From the 1860’s to 1890’s intellectuals were tagged as destabilizers of the colonial
    government. In your opinion, why were intellectuals, such as Jose Burgos and the
    Illustrados, becoming the favorite target of the repressive regime ?
    Padre Jose Burgos was made known in their position as an educated elite and a
    secular priest, his capacity empowered him to rise rapidly within the pecking order of the
    Philippines, However, he was dismayed by the cruel rule of the Spanish and that
    hypocritical minister who supports the foreign system, which led to him becoming a
    victim of authoritarian regimes who labeled him a destabilizer. The same with the
    Illustrados, their objectives were to fight for the political rights of Filipinos, which were
    supposed to be the same and non-discriminator y possessed by Spaniards. Also they
    aimed to secularize the parishes in the Philippines, and to render the Philippines a
    province that availed itself of equality under the Spanish system. They became the target
    of the repressive regime because they do not want Filipinos to have their freedom and
    enjoy their basic human rights, their rights to equality and more. They targeted Illustrados
    and Jose Burgos to stop them in achieving their objectives and restricted them so that
    their repressive regime would still continue.
