The course Life and Works of Rizal is a mandated subject that examines the life, writings, and contributions of Dr. José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. It focuses on his major literary works—Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo—as well as his essays, poems, letters, and political ideas, within the context of Spanish colonial rule.
The course analyzes Rizal’s role in the Philippine nationalist movement, his advocacy for peaceful reforms, education, and social justice, and the impact of his ideas on the Philippine Revolution and nation-building. It also highlights Rizal’s values, such as patriotism, civic responsibility, intellectual freedom, and moral courage, and examines their relevance to contemporary Filipino society.
Through critical reading, discussion, and reflection, students develop historical awareness, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation of Filipino identity and nationalism.
