The film entitled "Jose Rizal" gives me an idea of how spaniards treated the Filipinos during the old times.Our present Society would be nothing but a Province of spanish.And also,there wouldn't be Malacañang and REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. The way we speak would be like the spanish way if our heroes didn't protect our country from the invaders or conquerors. We, filipinos love to have our independence no matter what and whatever it takes, that they will sacrifice their own life for the independence of the Philippines and the people under its jurisdiction.

Historical significance of the film
For me,the historical significance of the film is that it may inspire the other Filipinos that we should never fear anything beside God.Because God controls everything.And with this the present and next generation will never be afraid to say "I'm a PILIPINO!".Like others say,"Past can affect the future".Imagine yourself sitting on a top of a tree,instead of hearing birds and the sound of the wind,you will hear;SCREAMS,BULLETS FIRING,BOMBINGS and PEOPLE and CHILDREN ASKING FOR HELP.Thanks to our heroes and to God,if there is NO HERO + NO GOD = NO PEACE.That film is really useful especially for the Filipinos who don't know what our heroes did just for our Justice,freedom and Democracy.

Jose Rizal
In the story of Jose Rizal starring Cesar Montano, it all started with a man writing a certain novel that illustrates the bad things about how spaniards treat the filipinos. He started to tell his true life. Then a day came that Rizal was about to go Ateneo de Municipal on 1872, to study. Many years passed, he became a college student at UST. He used to be bullied by the other spaniards that was also studying in UST. Then a day came that Rizal got into a fight, while they were having a meeting at their school. He fainted after their fight, then he woke up lying on the bed where he saw his uncle and his fellow classmates, when his uncle is about to leave his uncle asked his daughter Leonora or also known as Maria Clara, to take care of Jose Rizal, then Maria Clara asked Pepe to recite a poem for her. After few years passed Rizal was sent to Europe to study his doctorate, he is always the top student of the class. After he studied he made 2 novels entitled Noli Me Tangere as his first novel and El Filibusterismo as his second novel. When he is in Spain he joined an organization called La Solidaridad, the time came when Pepe and Del Pilar got into an arguement about who will be the president of their organization, Del Pilar wanted himself to be the president but one of the members insisted that Rizal should be the president, this made Rizal go back to the Philippines and made a organization called La Liga Filipino where he met Bonifacio, who was a great fan of him.Then after a few days, he recieved a letter from his brother and his cousin. In his brother's letter, it states that the spaniards forced the filipinos to vacate their properties. And in his cousins letter (Leonora) she stated that she will be marrying an English man. And even if she will be marrying another man and not Pepe, she will still remember him through out her life. After a few days, he went to the Supreme Court and faced the judges but till the end, he was sentenced to die. And on December 31, he was shot at Bagumbayan. His death resulted to a full scale rebelion and movements of the Katipunan and its Legion.

What customs of the early Filipinos are still practiced at present?Are they still pracrical in keeping with modern times?
The customs of the early Filipinos that are still practiced at present are:
a.)FARMING->farming is still practiced as of today because TECHNOLOGY still haven't invented a process to replace farming.That's why its still known at present.
b.)TRADITIONAL DANCING->for me this is still practiced,even though not most of the Filipinos knows this,this was still considered as an existing custom because this was still studied by students ang practiced by some Igorots,Muslims,Malays,etc. scattered around the Philippines.
c.)KAINGIN SYSTEM->at present this Kaingin system is still illegally practiced by most of the Factory workers.Even there is a law that states not to do this anymore,this illegal logging process is still a hobby for others,and this is also the reason why we Filipinos suffered so much by the past typhoons because there is no more enough trees to drain tha rain.
d.)MAKING HANDICRAFT PRODUCTS->making handicraft products is still practiced by other Filipinos even though its only practiced on th rural area their handicrafts is still released to other parts of the philippines which inspired other Filipinos to make one too due to its uniqueness,so this custom is still on going.
I think this customs will only be pracitcal in keeping with modern times if we Filipinos will keep on using them.So,in order to keep them in modern times,we should continue on enriching them for them to be visible til the end.

Taking pride of our origin
Taking pride of our origin,by following this phrase,then we can improve so many things in our country and even with ourselves.So,we should keep this in mind,because taking pride with our origin is also an another way to be proud of who we are and to whom we started."PRIDE"
can also be simplified as 'to be PROUD' so if we are proud with our origin then we will be confident enough to share to other people the things that our Anitos or Ninunos did for us and also their theories.So,taking pride of our origin would be like something that Filipinos should apply to themselves and remember until the next generation.
be proud!
