ABOUT OUR NATIONAL HERO
Dr. Jose Rizal known as a Philippine national hero was a very multi talented man. The saying 'the pen is mightier than the sword' can certainly be applied to his writings, which were often critical of the governing Spanish officials and friars of his era. In
fact his written work frightened and angered them so that he was charged with sedition. He was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad. On December 30, 1896 a man who only wanted more for his beloved country and people became a martyr. During his short life of 35 years, besides becoming an opthalmologists, he wrote and published two books titled "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo". He also wrote a
significant amount of poems, articles (for some papers) and plays. The theme of his poems were largely about his longing for the Philippines since he traveled abroad for the most part of his adult life.
