SY AND SEM: 2020-2021/ FIRST SEMESTER
 INTRODUCTION TO THE LESSON
Rizal had envisioned in the past a future generation of enlightened and educated
Filipinos; a time when Filipinos would read his writings not as a heretic but as a person
with the same national sentiment as he had once. Today, Rizal is not just read out of
appreciation but also as a primary weapon to dictate the identity of the Filipinos, which in
turn has a direct correlation to building the nation. This lesson aims to point out the role of
Jose Rizal in today's process of nation-building.

 LESSON DISCUSSION
Philippine History is a repository of the nation's collective memory. It should be taken from the
heart. This is the reason why History is translated in Filipino as Kasaysayan. Its root word is Saysay
(essence). The narrative of the past must be seen as vital to their existence.
Note: Nation-building is constructing or structuring a national identity using the power of the state.

Nation-building aims at the unification of the people within the state so that it remains politically stable
and viable in the long run. Nation-building is the process through which these majorities are constructed.
Likewise, studying the life, works, and writing of Rizal must be well entrenched in every
Filipino's soul. Lessons about his life, like his education, lovers, past time etc. are all useless if not
applied in real life. The same idea can be seen in the logic behind the annual commemoration of
Rizal Day.
It is an opportunity for everyone to fulfill what Gemino Abad referred to as the crucial infinitives
in life "to read, to think, to write." Just like what Rizal did in the past, everyone is enjoined to
participate in political and social processes of building the nation, not necessarily great things right
away but in small yet impact ways. Especially the youth, they are expected to be "Rizal-like" in terms
of deep nationalism.
Note: History education has often been associated with the inculcation of citizenship values, especially in the
forging of national identity. It is important to look at the evolution of theories of nation-building and at the other
concepts which it has both supplanted and included.
NOTE: Rizal’ Role in Nation Building are:

Rizal Insist on Education as the Instrument for Social Progress
The Ultimate Means at Nation- Building is National Unity

 LESSON SUMMARY
Philippine History is a repository of the nation's collective memory. A major contribution to

the making of the Filipino nation was Rizal’s insistence on the education of his people, a social
commitment of any government. He considered this as a cornerstone of the reform the country so
urgently needed at the time. Rizal’s greatest contribution to the building of Filipino nation was his
untiring efforts in urging his countrymen to work together for national unity, a condition for national
survival.
