History 17 Rizal’s Life, Works and Writings History 15 or 16 Three (3)

Course Description: The Rizal Course is a study of the biography of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the Philippines foremost national hero, and so far, the documented Filipino hero today. Specifically, it focuses on his crucial role behind the making of the Filipino nation, as seen in the influence made by his novels, the “Noli Me Tangere” and the “El Filibusterismo” on the thinking of the men and women behind the Philippine Revolution of 1896, as well as, the other Filipino leaders who would later carry on the stewardship of the new-born nation. The study of his novels and other writings would allow the students a view into the historical realities of the Spanish colonial era in the Philippines, specifically the 19th century from the perspective, not only of a direct observer, but also of a participant in the making of history. General Objectives: One semester of study of Rizal Course is designed to accomplish the following goals: 1. To inculcate in the minds of students the inspiring life and achievement, especially the selfless contribution to the growth of nationalism, of our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, which have shaped to a large extent of our national identity; 2. To inspire the students with a special love of country through a closer study of the biography of Jose Rizal. 3. To inspire the students to dedicate their lives to the ideals of freedom and nationalism; 4. To develop in the minds of the students the moral virtues that could be learned through a closer look into the life of Dr. Jose Rizal; 5. To develop in a more realistic manner the ideals of moral character, personal discipline, and civic virtues as inspired by Dr. Rizal; 6. To develop a more meaningful understanding of the relevance of the study of the multi-faceted aspects of Rizal’s life so that the students may truly appreciate his great love and services of his country and fellowmen.
