JOSE RIZAL

Si Dr. José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda [1] (19 Hunyo 1861– 30 Disyembre 1896) ay isang Pilipinong bayani at isa sa pinakatanyag na tagapagtaguyod ng pagbabago sa Pilipinas noong panahon ng pananakop ng mga Kastila. Siya ang kinikilala bilang pinakamagaling na bayani at itinala bilang isa sa mga pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas ng Lupon ng mga Pambansang Bayani.[2]

Ipinanganak si Rizal sa isang mayamang angkan sa Calamba, Laguna at ikapito siya sa labing-isang anak ng mag-asawang Francisco Engracio Rizal Mercado y Alejandro at Teodora Morales Alonzo Realonda y Quintos. Nag-aral siya sa Ateneo Municipal de Manila, at nakakuha ng diploma sa Batsilyer ng Sining at nag-aral ng medisina sa Pamantasan ng Santo Tomas sa Maynila. Ipinagpatuloy niya ang kanyang pag-aaral sa Universidad Central de Madrid sa Madrid, Espanya, at nakakuha ng Lisensiya sa Medisina, na nagbigay sa kanya ng karapatan na magpraktis ng pagmemedisina. Nag-aral din siya sa Pamantasan ng Paris at Pamantasan ng Heidelberg.Isang polimata si Rizal; maliban sa medisina ay mahusay siya sa pagpinta, pagguhit, paglilok at pag-ukit. Siya ay makata, manunulat, at nobelista na ang pinakatanyag sa kanyang mga gawa ay ang nobela na Noli Me Tángere, at ang kasunod nitong El filibusterismo.[note 1][3] Poliglota din si Rizal, na nakakaunawa ng dalawampu't dalawang wika.[note 2][note 3][4][5]Itinatag ni José Rizal ang La Liga Filipina, na samahan na naging daan sa pagkabuo ng Katipunan na pinamunuan ni Andrés Bonifacio,[note 4] na isang lihim na samahan na nagpasimula ng Himagsikang Pilipino laban sa Espanya na naging saligan ng Unang Republika ng Pilipinas sa ilalim ni Emilio Aguinaldo. Isa siyang tagapagtaguyod ng pagkakaroon ng sariling pamahalaan ng Pilipinas sa mapayapang paraan, sa halip na isang marahas na pag-aalsa na susuporta lamang sa karahasan bilang huling paraan.[7] Naniniwala si Rizal na ang tanging katuwiran sa pagpapalaya sa Pilipinas at pagkakaroon nito ng sariling pamahalaan ay ang pagbabalik ng karangalan ng mga mamamayan,[note 5] at winika niya "Bakit kalayaan, kung ang mga alipin ngayon ay magiging maniniil ng hinaharap?"[8] Ang pangkahalatang napagsang-ayunan ng mga dalubhasa sa buhay ni Rizal ay ang pagbitay sa kanya ang nagtulak upang magsimula ang Himagsikang Pilipino.

The Story Behind My Interest in Poetry

Poetry was introduced to me and piqued my interest when I was in 7th grade. I just started writing a poem to impress my crush back then. Several weeks and months had passed; poems became more than just a mere love letter. It became my past time, my safe space, and allowed me to cross the border between reality and fantasy. It gives me confidence to share my craft with my friends and Facebook followers. One time, I just found myself busy constructing a piece so that I could post my amateurish poem in my Messenger story. Through poetry, I can vent out my emotions whenever I feel anguish, bliss, love, anxiety, or adoration. Poetry never fails to make me feel better when my chest is lingering with melancholy.

A year ago, I stopped writing poems. I felt unmotivated and illiterate, and I haven't written even a single line. The urge to write poetry has completely vanished because of my depression. On November 8th, 2022, I wrote a poem entitled "Pagbabalik," my first poem since the last quarter of 2021. The interest didn't just come back as an interest but also became my passion. Back to the present, I've already written hundreds of poems, but I haven't kept some of the older ones. The poems are usually written in Filipino, for I'm much more creative when I'm using my native language. Most of my pieces are about love under the aliases Uno and Protacio, which constitute 75% of my entire work. The most memorable piece of mine is entitled "Tagtuyot," which was commended by one of my teachers, whom I look up to. Other notable pieces are "Labindalawa," "Tinta't Tangis," and the untitled poem about the moon that have been posted along with this one. 

Protacio, one of my aliases, is obviously inspired by a prolific poet, essayist, and novelist, Jose Protacio Rizal. Rizal's unparalled expertise in writing is the reason I kept on writing. This interest became a dream: a dream of becoming the Rizal of the 21st century. However, over the years, I gave up on becoming Rizal, and now I dream of becoming known for my own style of writing—the Uno that will be known around the world.

Get to know History by exploring streets around UST

The University of Santo Tomas (UST), located along España Blvd, Sampaloc Manila, is one of the leading universities across the Philippines. Founded on April 28, 1611. UST has a rich history surrounded by street names with historical backgrounds connected to our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. 

Dr. Jose Rizal in UST

José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, known as Dr. Jose Rizal, studied at the  University of Santo Tomas when he was only 16 years old, from April 1877-1882. He finished a program in Philosophy and Letters before shifting to a medicine program and leaving the country to continue his studies in Spain.

While at UST, Rizal wrote several poems, including “A la Juventud Filipina” (To the Filipino Youth), which was dedicated to the Filipino youth during the Spanish oppression, urging them to use their talents and potential to shape the future of our country.

Additionally, he also founded a secret society called Compañerismo, whose members are called “Companions of Jehu”.

Street names around UST historically related to Dr. Jose Rizal 

1. Laong Laan St.

Laong Laan was Dr. Jose Rizal’s pen name when he was a contributor of poems and articles in “La Solidaridad,” an organization that later became a newspaper based in Barcelona, Spain. Established on February 15, 1889, by Filipino exiles, serving as a platform for Filipino nationalists advocating for political reforms and social justice in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial rule. 

Laong in Tagalog means “a long time” while “laan” means “reserved for a purpose”. Therefore, Laong Laan conveys as “kept in reserve for a purpose for a long time”

2. Dimasalang St.

Dr. Jose Rizal also wrote under the pseudonym “Dimasalang” when he was a correspondent for the same newspaper “La Solidaridad”. He published a literary piece titled “El Amor Patrio” (Love of Country) during his time in Spain. It was later on included in “Diariong Tagalog”, a daily newspaper established in Manila.

3. Blumentritt Road

Blumentritt Road is named after Ferdinand Blumentritt who became Rizal’s closest friend. His friendship with the national hero dates back to as early as July 1886. They often exchanged letters that were used as significant sources for historians prior to Rizal’s execution on December 30, 1896.

4.España Boulevard

España Boulevard was named after the Spanish word for the country Spain, which became the colonial power that governed the Philippines for 333 years.

5. Dapitan Street

Dapitan Street was derived from the coastal town of Dapitan in Zamboanga del Norte where Dr. Jose Rizal was exiled from July 17, 1892, until July 31, 1896.

7.Piy Margal Street 

Piy Margal Street was followed by Pio del Pilar Margal who was a Filipino general in the Philippine Revolution, although not entirely connected to Rizal, he was still one of the figures who fought for the Philippine Independence

Additional streets inspired by Dr. Jose Rizal’s novels;

Here is the list of street names that were inspired by the characters of Dr. Jose Rizal’s novels, “Noli me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo”.

1. Ma. Clara St.

2. Tiago St.

3. Isagani St.

4. Crisostomo St.

5. Ibarra St.

6. Simoun St.

7. Elias St.

I Left my Heart in Luneta

People that are parts of your life now were once strangers. The friend you always run to whenever you have nowhere else to be was once someone you just pass by on sidewalks. The classmate you always ask about academic tasks was once someone you bumped into in train stations. The person you like was once someone who walked on the same streets you did at different times. People that have now occupied space in your life, each having significant purposes that somehow helped you to be able to become who you are today, were once just any other humans witnessing the world evolve. Whether they are individuals in your life or simply strangers you have encountered, briefly conversed with, or perhaps even laid eyes on, each has a unique life that they are leading from this day on. You may have seen certain people walking down the street before, and you may see them again without realizing it. There are people who have entered the same streets as you and are now walking in directions other than what they had originally intended. People, regardless of their relationship with you, have been with you, may it be indirectly—they were once together with you despite both of you not remembering when and where.

The location of the national hero's death holds a special place in my mind, heart, and soul among all the tourist destinations in the nation that are associated with momentous historical events that are now verbatim recounted. Luneta Park became renowned during the colonial era, when the country was becoming more educated and religiously oriented. The history of colonization in the Philippines is extensive and includes hundreds of years under Spanish rule, American colonization after Spain sold the country to the state, Japanese occupation during which only violence and harassment pervaded the area, and corruption involving the transfer of power from fellow Filipino citizens to Filipino politicians who abused their position of authority. The Philippines has experienced far too many colonizations, both by foreigners and by natives, and as a result, its cultures, languages, and religious beliefs have all changed over time. Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda was a hero during the Spanish colonization period who was well-known for his extraordinary patriotism and commitment to overthrowing the colonizers. After seeing the brutality and bloodshed that Spain had imposed on the once tranquil and rich Philippines, Rizal turned to writing as a form of protest as well as a coping strategy. He used his abilities and knowledge to write about the experiences the Philippines had during the Spanish colony. As a result, he was executed by firing squad in front of his fellow Filipinos to demonstrate the futility of rebellion. However, Filipino nationalism was activated at that time because of Rizal's courageous act, which demonstrated why we shouldn't allow aliens to influence or colonize us. Not only does the site of Rizal's execution hold the affection of every Filipino, but it also holds my mind, heart, and soul. It not only shows his valiant demise but also serves as an indicator to preserve your nation's greatness and never allow any other nation to turn it into theirs.

Luneta is a part of my childhood. On every occasion, during birthdays, holidays, or just special days that hold value to our family, Luneta Park is where we go. That's why growing up, I have had Luneta Park as a major part of not only my childhood, but a part of me entirely. Because every time I walk through the areas of the vast park where the sweltering rays of the sun and a gentle breeze from the trees are felt, I consider all the other people who have walked where I have. I always wonder about those people, who they are, how they are doing, and whether they are still with us. I feel the presence of people who have walked in the same space as me as I continue to stroll through the park, in addition to the nostalgic atmosphere that brings back memories of my family's past visits. I wonder in my head if I've met them before or if I've even seen them in waiting sheds, jeepneys, or any other place. Grasping the cold grass with my hand at night and gazing up at the glowing fountain and fireworks, I can't help but think of all the people who have touched the same grass. This idea speaks to me more in the Japanese Garden, which is my favorite part of the park due to its calming and restorative mood, which makes you want to sit on a bench and gaze up at the sky even if it hurts your neck to do so. I wonder what kind of people have been to the Japanese Garden, too, considering those who have considered it to be a healing place. I was in the same location as them, I was walking on the same ground, and I was holding the same objects. It's phenomenal to consider how people are connected not by their shared humanity but rather by the number of unintentional encounters they have had, and that's what Luneta reminds me of.

No matter how they feel about you, people have been with you at some point, even if it was only briefly—even if neither of you can recall the exact moment or location. That idea—that everyone around you has already met, you just haven't introduced them to one another—resonates with Luneta Park. You've probably become friends with the people you've passed by in the past after you apologized for leaving their belongings on the ground. However, you were still not meant to be acquainted at that point. You have only ever met. The string that connects you gets narrower and narrower by the time you actually become part of each other's lives. Meeting new people is obscure as you never know if you've met them before—in Luneta or somewhere else in the world—you just didn't know. Therefore, the next time you run into someone you know in Luneta, it's possible that their name is all you don't know about them besides their well-known appearance. Your strings haven't come closer yet.
