Everytime people asked who is Rizal? , two answers will always be present: some will say "He is our National Hero" and others will say " The Dude in the one peso coin". But do they know how Rizal became our National Hero? Well, maybe I can share what I do know about Rizal.
Jose Rizal, a man with so many talents and accomplishments. A man who inspires us to be brave and hard-working. And most of all, a man who has the courage to fight against the Spaniards even it cost his life.
Two months ago, Our adviser told us that we will be watching another play entitled "Batang Rizal" and it costs three hundred pesos. At first, I don't like to pay for it but Ms. Marquez said that it is compulsary si I don't have a choice. But on the second thought, maybe I would enjoy watching it.
We held SAC elections in the morning and at noon. we went to the theater and arrived there two or one hour before the play so we don't have a choice but to wait outside. Some of the students sat on the ground while others sat on the fences there. And after a few minutes or hours, the play started.
Once we were inside the theater, all i can do is to drooled and be amazed because the theater is so beautiful that I even wished and dreamed I have one like that in our house.
And after some reminders before the play will start, the play started. The play is all about Pepito, a young boy from the future who opened a book about Rizal. But little he don't know, the book is magical to the point it became a portal to go in the past and the future. This is when Pepito's journey started. When he was transported in the past, He got a chance to have a talk face-to-face with the young Rizal or others call him "Pepe". And there he learned about Rizal's accomplishments when he was young.
All in all, the whole play is good and I don't regret that I have paid for this play. The play gave me lessons in so many things. Like, the importance of family, heroes, love, and friendship. It also help us to realized who really is Rizal. He is not only the "Dude in the one peso coin" but he is the man who inspires us and the one who showed the true meaning of heroes.
