Jose Rizal is our national
hero. He fights for our country without using any violence. He used his own
talent over the Spaniards. He died without hesitate just for the sake of the
next generations. That is why, every year we commemorate his memories and give
importance to his sacrifice for us.
Last month, we had this play
entitled “Batang Rizal”. The story of it started with Pepito. Pepito is an
honored student in Rizal Elementary School. He has these bully classmates that
always puts him on trouble. He had trouble with Kaye, his crush, because of
those bullies. They are preparing for the coming program, “Linggo ng Wika”.
Mayor Rapku, the city mayor, brought a statue of Rizal in their school which
cost an arm and a leg. Pepito got curious what’s behind the white blanket so he
peeks on it but suddenly his bully mate pushed him. He bumped on the statue
then it fell on the ground broken. His teacher told him that he needs to settle
the things until the program came.
He found a magical book about
Rizal on the shelves. The book brought him on the past, on Rizal’s time. He met
some of Rizal’s sister, his mother and Pepe in their place. He witnesses some
happenings in Rizal’s life in a short period of time. He even brought Rizal in
the present. Pepito tried his best to introduce Rizal to them but they did not
believe in him and thinks that he is insane. They discover the truth at the end
when Pepe and Pepito resolve all the problems together.
I’d learned that we, as
teenagers, should be responsible enough of the things that matter. Nothing will
happen if we’ll not start it with ourselves. Love your own country even though
it’s not the ideal country that everyone of us wish.
