Remembering Rizal
Who is Rizal? What did he do for
the Philippines? Why is he a hero? There so many questions when we’re talking about
Rizal but as we all know he did many things, good things for our country to
save us from the brutal Spaniards. And I saw this when we watched a play
entitled “Batang Rizal”
At first when I heard we are going
to watch the play I say to myself “lame” because since I’m already at third
year high school we are ready known Rizal
for we studied him since grade 1 until know, but our adviser said we must. When
we arrived at the assumption theater I saw a huge dome in the middle of nowhere
(it’s kinda creepy) All the students of our school are there from kinder (with their
own parents of course) from fourth year students, teachers, principal, and even
our very own priests are there but of course we waited and watched.
The plot of the play is this: Pepito,
a young boy from the future opens a magical book that becomes a magical portal
to the past and future. In his journey, he comes face-to-face with another
young lad, Pepe aka Jose Rizal and finds himself exploring colonial Calamba. He
takes Pepe to the future and they journey into an exciting series of events
that reveal the truth about heroes, love and friendship.
And when I was already at home
after we watched the play I finally realized Rizal is a true Philippine hero.
