    A Hero’s Legacy: The Beacon of Enlightenment for the Youth

    Of all the amazing people of Philippine history, one name stands as a beacon of
    enlightenment, compassion, and unwavering love for the homeland—Jose Rizal. Revered as
    the national hero of the Philippines, Rizal's enduring legacy transcends the pages of
    textbooks, resonating as a testament to his profound impact on the nation. Beyond his lore
    as a revolutionary leader, Rizal's good nature manifested in his unwavering dedication to
    uplift his countrymen, champion of education, and an advocate for social justice. Jose Rizal
    not only wielded the pen as a powerful weapon against oppression but also embodied the
    virtues of a true patriot, leaving an indelible mark on the Philippines that continues to
    inspire generations. In this exploration, we delve into the benevolent spirit of Jose Rizal,
    examining how his noble nature and significant contributions became a guiding light in the
    pursuit of Philippine independence and progress.

    Rizal has various contributions to the nation starting off with his literary
    masterpieces, "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo." Novels such as these are not only
    made of fiction but powerful enough to unmask the harsh realities of Filipino life that were
    hidden under the rule of the Spaniards. Rizal observed the injustice, abuse, and corruption
    within the nation. However, with these writings awakened the sense of the Filipino
    consciousness and gave strength to fight oppression. Secondly, Liga Filipina, an established
    organization that focuses on uniting Filipinos together while promoting education and
    uplifting the Filipinos’ moral intellect. Not long lasted, however, due to Rizal’s arrest, but
    that could not stop the spirit in making good-quality education and enlightenment. With
    that said, Rizal was a peace sided kind of person – a pacifist. He empowers education in
    advocating change. Rizal believed that problems can be solved through peaceful means and
    with that all people could benefit and would have a smile on their faces.

    Jose Rizal, our national hero, a person whose nature is rooted in education – the
    pride of the nation. As a youth of this modern times, embodying and applying Rizal’s values
    is not just a choice but a responsibility wherein we the children of the Philippines could
    shape our nation’s future – “Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan.”

    For me, education is the key to improvements and yes you would bump into
    unexpected obstacles along the way but the outcome is worth it. Just like Rizal who's
    committed to education for me it means a dedication to our intellectual growth and critical
    learning. As a “not-so-young” individual it is not just for personal improvements but utilizing
    it for the betterment of our society.
    As part of an esports organization here in the University of St. Lasalle - Bacolod, we
    should not forget our social responsibility. We should always engage in activities not only in
    education but provide different ways of engaging activities apart from the usual ones. Giving
    aid without asking in return could not only give you satisfaction, but happiness, joy and love.
    Helping those communities who are in by giving them a chance to access quality education
    through donations and that could address the evolution of an ever-changing community. As
    a Lasallian student, we should always uplift our three Lasallian core values – The spirit of
    Faith, Zeal for Service and Communion in Mission.

    In conclusion, as a member of the youth, applying Rizal’s values in today’s time


    would serve as a guide in making significant and meaningful contributions not only to
    ourselves but to society as well. Embracing our social responsibilities, prioritizing our
    education and being an advocate for peace and justice would honor our national hero’s
    legacy and build the future of our nation which continues slowly but surely.
