...First, a few basics on Hangul (Don't worry! You will be reading in Hangul perfectly extremely soon!). Hangul is an alphabet, just like the Roman alphabet English speakers use. The only two differences are Hangul blocks syllables, and there are no lowercase or capitalize letters in Hangul. The letter is always written the same, no matter when it is used. Characters will be stacked into squares to form each syllable. For example ㅎ, ㅏ, and ㄴ are three separate characters. But, as they would form one syllable, they would be written 한 instead of ㅎ ㅏ ㄴ. ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ= 한 want another example? ㄱ + ㅡ + ㄹ = 글 We then combine syllables to form words, just as we do in English. 한 + 글 = 한글 Recognize that word? That's right! It's Hangul . It consists of han (한) and gul (글). Two syllables. Six characters. As you begin to learn all the different characters, you will see how to construct the syllables properly depending on which character you are using. Just keep this one thing in mind. Every Korean word, syllable, anything...begins with a consonant. A vowel will always follow it, either positioned to the right of it, or below it. With each vowel, I will tell you where it should be positioned. Also, there will be 2,3, or rarely 4 characters in a syllable. 한 is one way of stacking, having the vowel to the right of the first consonant, with the third character under those two. 글 is the other main way of stacking, where the vowel falls below the first consonant, with the third character below...

...Reflections on Rizal - Three Thoughts Tiny Dancer Hero There is this idea that heroes inevitably reflect their country. When you think about it historical heroes exist as receptacles of a nation’s hopes and dreams. They are the guiding lights, the individuals who helped shape the nature of a people. Heroes are, in other words, can be considered the soul and conscience of a country. Their philosophies, ideals, and examples acting as the benchmarks for right collective action. That, as well, is why each generation must recast their nation’s heroes in new forms and view them in new perspectives. Heroes and their actions, much like all of history, are consistently up for reinterpretation. Without that process they will never be relevant. A disturbing question to ask is if our heroes are really relevant today. As a result, studying how our heroes are approached and constructed in the public sphere gives a country an understanding of who they are as a people. Heroes are a reflection of the values of a people. And if that is the case, as I strongly suspect it is, then the way we currently construct Jose Rizal (the way we approach him and his legacy) does not speak too well of us. There is something faintly disturbing about the fact that more is written, and known, in popular society (and pop history) about how many languages Rizal spoke (and how many women he supposedly bedded) than the importance of his annotated Morga. Or even that there is this pervasive sense of Rizal the...

...Reflection on the poem, To my Fellow Children Jose Rizal was then eight years old when he wrote this poem because he wanted to reveal his earliest nationalist sentiment. In the poetic verses, he proudly and pompously asserted that a people who trully love their native language will definitely srtive for liberty like the bird which soars to freer space above. Indeed, he is a great hero! He also wrote it to encourage the youth to be proud of being who they are and the first step to do that is to use their mother tongue or native language in communicating or speaking.The attitudes and values found in the poem is being nationalistic and loving and using ones mother tongue. To my fellow youth by Rizal is a poem that was written to the youth in Philippines. This poem was a form of motivation for the youth to use their talents. Reflection on the poem, Through Education, the Country Receives Light At a very young age, Jose Rizal, our national hero, wrote the poem “Through Education the motherland receives light”. He indicates here how he values education a lot. Out of his fervent love for our motherland, education seems for him a way for us to extend our deep and warm gratitude to every wonder that we receive from her every day. Rizal, a man full of intelligence, knows that the key to improve our dear country is the awareness of everything. Thus, education is the one that trains people how to become a productive and civilized citizen to our motherland. ...

...idea of Rizal using his writings especially the Noli Me Tangere as a catalyst of revolution. He stated there that Rizal intentionally used his writings to fight against the Spaniards and he did not want to take the power of Spaniards over us, instead he wanted us to be assimilated with Spain. It was also mentioned by the author that Rizal would rather use pen and a paper because he didn’t want useless bloodshed. He believe that Filipinos are not prepared for the revolution. 2. Do you agree with the idea that he wants to convey or not? Why? Yes, maybe Rizal intentionally wrote his articles to ignite the emotions of his readers and show their nationalism through a revolution. There are several events in the novel Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo that reflect the kind of oppression that Filipino experienced from the Spaniards. These written proofs are enough to ignited the urge of Filipinos to fight for their own rights. 3. Based on this writing, what kind of 'Rizal' does the author want to portray to us? Rizal as a reformist. He was able to fight for what he believes in without using any force. However, I would say that he can also be considered as a revolutionalist because his writings were one of the reasons why Filipinos fight against Spaniards. We know Rizal as an educated person, and he would not want anyone to die because of any revolution. He planned his ideas and he was not an impulsive decision maker. 4. Connect the relevance of the author's idea/your reflection of the...

...RIZAL: WHAT MADE HIM A HERO? "What matters death if one dies for what one loves, for native land and cherished ones?" A hero may be easy to spell but it is never easy to become. Heroes are people who have gained enormous identity among others. They are role models, well-respected, nationalistic and have contributed to society causing national unity resulting to something really big like freedom. Between the different faces of heroes we know who stands out among the rest? Is it Rizal or is Bonifacio of better identity? Would it be Aguinaldo or Mabini? If there is a need to place someone as national hero then who should we pick between those huge names? It is always said in many cultures that the pen is mightier than the sword, the blood of academic scholars are better than that blood of warriors, wars are not won in the battlefield, it’s pure politics. The name Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio are some of the well-known personalities that have been mentioned in the annals of Philippine history. The exemplary deeds that they had done for our country; in order to achieve freedom from the hands of the Spanish colonizers is worth to be remembered specially by the present generation. Indeed, their heroism is well done. Apparently, there are some students, faculty, leftist, writers, critics and even we perhaps questioned the credibility of Rizal when he got the title of being our “Philippine National Hero” why not Bonifacio which results to the existence of pro-Bonifacio...

...MOVIE JOSE RIZAL The movie tells the life story of Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. Athree-hour epic on the life and struggles of his poet and patriotisms. It covers his life fromhis childhood to his execution at the hands of the Spanish forces occupying thePhilippines in the late 19th century. We are also thrown into the world of Rizal's novels(filmed in black and white), so we get a glimpse of how he viewed Filipino society under the Spanish heal.The film also through a series of flashback showing Rizal as a genius, a writer, adoctor, an artist, a lover, a friend, a brother and a son, thus giving a rich texture of Rizal’scharacter.The movie introduces us to the life of subjugation of the Filipino people under therule of the Spanish friars. From the execution of three Filipino priests in 1872 for allegedsubversion to the harsh and unequal treatment of Filipino students in the schools, thisfilm is a stinging indictment of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines.I also commend the film for its bravery in showing the evil tyranny of theCatholic Church during that time. Considering that the Philippines is a Catholic nationthat is like butchering a sacred cow but alas, Abaya works her magic in depicting thesuffering of the Filipinos because of the friars.This is by far the best Filipino movie that I have seen so far. I would urge anyonereading this who likes movies, to either rent it or buy it.I particularly love the last scene of the film when Rizal fell in...

...Rivera, Lieca R. June 6, 2016 Sec 1 Prof. Pelias Reflection: We visited 5 places in our Viaje de Angono. We depart from Santolan Station by roughly 8 am. The travel time to reach our first destination which is the Rizal windmill is 2 hours, as far as I remember. I have not been to Ilocos Norte to witness the famous Bangui Windmills, and it is included my bucket list to have a picture with those. I was really amazed to see the wind farm in Rizal since it seems like I get to see those in Ilocos. I also found out that the same company is operating both the Bangui and Pililla windmills. The Pililla windmills are on top of the hills overlooking the beautiful plains of Tanay Rizal on one side and Laguna on the other side. One will also get a very good view of Laguna de Bay. There are infographic boards there about Pililia and the wind farm. One interesting fact on why Pililia was chosen as the site for these wind turbines –these hills have a natural wind corridor with a monthly average of 36kmh windspeed passing through the hill and heightens during Amihan (north-east winds) season from October to March. We took plenty of photos with the wind mills for remembrance. Also, we bought memorabilia that the residents are selling there. We had our lunch after windmills. Then, we went to Nemiranda Art Haus and Balaw-balaw restaurant. This arthouse is surrounded by mythical relief murals and three dimensional mythological characters such as the “Ang Nuno” , “Habagat” and...

... Since 1995, the National Heroes Committee had recommended several heroes to be proclaimed the National Hero of the Philippines; among which are Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo, Apolinario Mabini, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Sultan Dipatuan Kudarat, Juan Luna, Melchora Aquino, and Gabriela Silang. However, the country has been granting greater credits to Jose Rizal as he has been regarded as the National Hero, but by the words of Americans. Furthermore, he was labeled “United States-sponsored hero” and many were taking doubts in the said veneration. But in the present, still there is no definite law supporting the said claim and that only means that our denomination of Rizal as our National Hero, though in some sense significant, has never been official and continuously remains to be the subject of debates. But first, let me ask the question: why is it important to declare a National Hero for our country? And who is really deserving to be called our National Hero? By declaring a national hero, we do not only recognize the important persons who had contributed much for the good of the country, for struggling to achieve independence from Spanish conquerors, and for living an exemplary life that would ignite every Filipino’s sense of nationalism. In my own view, a national hero should at least be a reflection of who we are or who we should be as Filipinos in general, our simple love for our land and respect for our Filipino culture as well. There is no query...

...José Rizal, a Filipino nationalist and medical doctor, conceived the idea of writing a novel that would expose the ills of Philippine society after reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. He preferred that the prospective novel express the way Filipino culture was backward, anti-progress, anti-intellectual, and not conducive to the ideals of the Age of Enlightenment. He was then a student of medicine in the Universidad Central de Madrid. In a reunion of Filipinos at the house of his friend Pedro A. Paterno in Madrid on 2 January 1884, Rizal proposed the writing of a novel about the Philippines written by a group of Filipinos. His proposal was unanimously approved by the Filipinos present at the party, among whom were Pedro, Maximino and Antonio Paterno, Graciano López Jaena, Evaristo Aguirre, Eduardo de Lete, Julio Llorente and Valentin Ventura. However, this project did not materialize. The people who agreed to help Rizal with the novel did not write anything. Initially, the novel was planned to cover and describe all phases of Filipino life, but almost everybody wanted to write about women. Rizal even saw his companions spend more time gambling and flirting with Spanish women. Because of this, he pulled out of the plan of co-writing with others and decided to draft the novel alone. Plot Having completed his studies in Europe, young Juan Crisóstomo Ibarra y Magsalin comes back to the Philippines after a 7-year absence. In his honor, Don Santiago delos Santos...

...Heneral Luna: Reflection Paper Unlike most films about heroes, this one manages to tell a compelling story about the brilliant and fiery general. In this film, Antonio Luna is depicted as a real human being, full of virtues as well as faults. It stimulates a special kind of reflection we need in rethinking our own state of patriotism and sense of nationalism and nationhood. This film enables us to understand not just the life of Luna but also the historical context of his struggle and heroism. The Choleric Filipino General Antonio Luna as what I have perceived from the movie has this notoriety of being a “hot-headed” individual but he is beyond than that. I find Antonio Luna as powerful, passionate and resilient. He is fierce and is not afraid to go after what he wants. He has a very complex personality he is extremely powerful and capable but is also highly emotional. I would see him if he is in the right people that surrounds him as a very capable General and able to accomplish anything. But when he goes dark side (his demons) and out of balance he can become a terrible tyrant, equally capable of using power for destruction and manipulation. He is fearless in any conquest and will not back down to anyone. He doesn’t take no from anybody. On the outside I see him as tough, mysterious and unable to be broken. Deep down, he is quite fragile and complex. He has this deep wisdom but often comes with it are resentment and contempt for the common man. He only really respects those...

...Reflection I’ve realized that NSTP served as an eye opener to us students, as we become aware of the current situation of our country--poverty. I have learned the value of having a family who can provide their basic needs. I’m very fortunate that I am going to a school with quality education. I realized the blessings that I have right now, that I’m indeed fortunate enough to own the things that I own right now. I also felt gratitude with the kind of different families in that community because even though their condition is not that good and they encounter problems in their daily living, they are still happy and fighting in every challenges of life. I saw the simplicity of life, even having less, every family of the community does not fail to thank God that they are all healthy and still surviving their daily lives. My experience with this activity will be much cherished because this had taught me how to be contented for what I have. I think if the officials in our country will work together with compassion and honesty and will focus in improving our country not on fighting and blaming each other, Philippines will achieved a high level as compared to other countries, there will be no depressed, deprived, and underserved families or communities in our country. Also, as a citizen of Philippines, we should also be aware and cooperate in solving the problems of our country. We should work hand in hand and develop the value of camaraderie because we cannot solve these problems...
