... Almost everyday on my way to Paco, I trail the old and long Pedro Gil Road along which I get to see the historical La Concordia College. The emphasis is on the term “historical”, for indeed this institution founded in 1868 really is, as it is the alma mater of Jose Rizal’s sister Olimpia, of his youngest sister Soledad, of his “first” love, and of his so called “true” love ...

History: The Two Great World Wars (quiz)

Lessons about history are both interesting and fascinating. Learning is much easier when able to understand the events and reasons beyond a situation or a concept in the past. History is interesting for it uncovers things that are unknown to most of the people and the forgotten memories of the past. It gives humanity lessons that has been tested and hardened by time. History is fascinating because of some events might just give astonishment to many who never thought of things happened in the past which actually did. People’s knowledge of our history is minimal, that is why for those who acknowledges this reality should at least contribute for benefitting the many.

As a lover of history, the writer would like to present a small quiz on the two great world wars. It provides facts that contributed the face of the reality of today.

The writer encourages every reader and examinee of this simple but precious quiz on the great World Wars to love history and contribute for the benefit of many.

The Importance of the Jose Rizal Subject

The Importance of the Jose Rizal Subject

THE RIZAL BILL was as controversial as Jose Rizal himself.

The mandatory Rizal subject in the Philippines was the upshot of this bill which later became a law in 1956. The bill involves mandating educational institutions in the country to offer a course on the hero’s life, works, and writings, especially the ‘Noli Me Tangere’ and ‘El Filibusterismo’.

The transition from being a bill to becoming a republic act was however not easy as the proposal was met with intense opposition particularly from the Catholic Church.

Largely because of the issue, the then senator Claro M. Recto—the main proponent of the Rizal Bill—was even dubbed as a communist and an anti-Catholic. Catholic schools threatened to stop operation if the bill was passed, though Recto calmly countered the threat, stating that if that happened, then the schools would be nationalized. Afterward threatened to be punished in future elections, Recto remained undeterred.

Jose Rizal’s Poems

Jose Rizal’s Poems

© 2013 by Jensen DG. Mañebog

“The Filipinos forgot their writings, their songs, their poetry, their laws in order to learn by heart other doctrines, which they did not understand.”

- JOSE RIZAL

 

ONE WAY TO GAUGE a person’s life is to look at his works and writings. Poetry reveals an individual’s thoughts, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and even heartaches. The genius in Jose Rizal, our national hero, had resulted in several poems during his childhood, schooling, life struggles, and right before his martyrdom. Let us take a peek at our national hero’s poetry. (For Rizal’s poems themselves, please see “Jose Rizal’s Poems: A Compilation” through the search engine of www.OurHappySchool.com).
