1. What government position do you think Rizal would occupy for the benefit of the Filipinos? Why?

- Department of Justice. Because Rizal always practice practices self-discipline wherever he is. He is a citizen who really wants justice for all the Filipinos who are being deprived and undergo oppression. As he really want to state in his novel El Filibusterismo. Rizal was inspired and a raging fire for justice was ignited in him.

2. What virtues of Rizal could be best emulated by:

a. Youth of today

His nationalism, because some of the youth of today they

don’t care about their motherland. His eagerness in his

academics. Being industrious and his love to his family.

b. Government officials

Leadership. His patriotism, optimism, and undying love

for his country his belief in his countrymen which set

him apart.

c. People seeking for change

His desire to possess happiness. His ability to think,

aspire and strive to rise; and the proper use of hearth,

brain and spirit-all of these combining to enhance the

intricacies, beauty and values of human nature.
