As we commemorate the birth of our National Hero, let us not forget the adversity our heroes had done for us just to save our independence from invaders.
One hundred years has passed but the memories of Dr. Jose Rizal and our heroes are still alive up to this century. We can see a lot of inside stories from books, historical things, to school, television, newspapers, magazines and even internet and blogs about our National Hero and heroes but just a shout out to all citizens – let’s try to bring into action all the qualities he reminded us of and the importance of being a Filipino. By blood, we are one of the generations he hopes to continue what he started and to helped this country for. He is like a father, he has some wishes for us and knocked on wood to come true. Blood is thicker than water as they may say.
These days, we are in a difficult situation. Heinous crimes and corruption are rampant. Negative news and articles are seen on the side of the street. Families broken and relationships are blotted out. People are taking advantage of the kindness others are giving. They don’t mind if they stepped on other’s life as long as they are guaranteed by their own welfare. People in the government are aware but tend to be deaf and blind.
What’s going on now?
Are they aware?
Of course, they see what’s going on in our country but because they don’t have any idea of our whereabouts and cries so they won’t really understand and won’t feel anything. Some are helping but pretending to be good to the eyes of the commoners, hiding their faces with masks which falsify their own identities and motives. They travel to different places in the Philippines to proclaim their intentions but did all of their promises happen? Neither one of which they say can’t be seen to this day. Promises of false hopes and dreams have been said but didn’t come into reality.
As a Filipino, we need to loosen our grip from being ignorant of what is happening around us and focus on something that will be beneficial to people. Let us help one another to make this country progressive. Let’s follow the footsteps of Dr. Jose Rizal to nourish the good things and improve our lives.
Probably, if he could come down, for sure he would nag us out of our system and punish us because we are not doing right. Same with our Lord. If only I could see him, one thing I’m going to ask:
How could you be so perfect to fight what is right that all people listen and respect you and when we do just petty things for the country, why would they won’t care and listen?
May we reflect on this as we walk through our journey in this chaotic home we live in.
