In not more than five sentences, reflect on how powerful the Catholic church was during Rizal's time.
Give clear examples of instances its power was manifested. Write your answers on the space provided.
Catholic church during Rizal's time has had an enormous power that majorly influenced the now we call
Government powers (Police Power, Eminent Domain, and Taxation) which they took advantage of and
made an unlawful and abusive hierarchy wherein the friars were at the highest echelon themselves. For
instance, powers were reflected as they were the founders of major institutions and professions in the
Philippines, such as towns and cities, educators, builders of roads and bridges, philologists and scientists,
doctors and pharmacists, farmers' introductions, and farming techniques, etc. Unfortunately, abuses by
the friars happened due to such indispensable contributions in the country, which entitled themselves
to be the superiors and reputed Filipinos as "Indio" or the inferiors. Thereafter, Dr. Rizal disclosed the
corruption and hypocrisy of the Spanish clergy in his novels "Noli me tangere" and "El filibusterismo"
which became an eye-opener to the Filipinos in his glorious times. To sum up, the reign of the Catholic
church back then had both positive and negative impacts on the country; although, cynical events were
the highlights which ignited the hearts and souls of Filipinos during Rizal's time.
2. For this part of the unit, you are required to answer the question, but your scores will not be counted
towards the final grade: (elaborate)
Reflect on a present day social issue where the intervention of a religious organization is clearly
perceived. Discuss it in not more than 5 sentences.
In these present times, our world is in the midst of a global pandemic due to Corona Virus, which started
more than a year ago and devastated many lives. The latter becomes the primary social issue that most
countries are trying to solve, whereas many organizations intervene with national governments and
movements. Accordingly, various religious organizations like the Roman Catholic play their role during
such pandemic, which perhaps being felt by the people, especially in the Philippines with 81% of its
population per se known to be Roman Catholics. Moreover, Catholic congregations in the Philippines
provide essential and sustainable healthcare services that revolve around all the dimensions of wellness
(e.g., Emotional and Spiritual) such as Online masses, Community prayers, Donation drives, Feeding
programs, Community pantries, etc. Lastly, perhaps there's a separation between church and state; the
religious organizations didn't let such separation be a barrier to what is right and just; hence, they let
their voice be heard regardless of the contradictions and decisions by the state, particularly the national
government.
Proclaim literature as the catalyst that forges Filipinos' patriotism and nationalism.
GRIZAL MODULE 1b ( ESSAY)
1. Briefly explain the importance and relevance of the Rizal subject in your chosen
degree program (10 points).
2. Briefly discuss the role of nationalism in the face of the global pandemic. (10
points)
We define nationalism as love and devotion to one's country or nation. Nationalism must
be practiced by the countrymen every day as it symbolizes how much we value our own
land. Amid this global pandemic, nationalism has been notably greater than before
because people are aware that many are experiencing struggles and crises. Thus, the
role of nationalism is for us to help each other to survive such pandemic without causing
prejudice to the people who need more benefits. Moreover, civic unity and
interdependence are observable as people created many programs such as Community
pantries, Donation drives, Feeding programs, Fundraising, etc., which could cope with
the needs of every individual in the nations. Nationalism can also be practice by voicing
out our opinions, suggestions, contradictions, and rights to our national government as it
is not just for self-interest but for the whole interest of the nation.
Module 2. Summative Assessment (a)
[Chorus in Tagalog]
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
Ako'y may dala-dalang, balita galing sa bayan ko
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap
Sa lupang pinangako
[English Translation:]
(Come closer my friends and everyone listen
I brought news from my homeland
I'll tell you how we live and what goes on
From my beloved homeland.)
[Chorus]
(Retrieved from https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blackeyedpeas/theaplsong.html)
The concept of nationalism that was depicted in the song is the love for the country and the satisfaction
to live to the land where our blood and souls belong.
Discussion:
In a general sense, nationalism may be defined as "loving one's country," which is empowered
by right and just actions. Although, nationalism can be described in many forms because it being
subjective in manner. As in this case, nationalism was depicted through a song that mainly projects love
for the country and the satisfaction to live in the land where our blood and souls belong.
To elaborate, it is pretty quotable that the lyrics describe the proud declaration that their
country is different from others and voicing out the Philippines' best, which is an indication of
nationalism. Also, based on the first verse, they defined nationalism as a concept of living with freedom
wherein it stated the Filipino way of living normally by utilizing what is available to sustain life with
satisfaction. The latter statement is subject to sustenance in which can be achieved when the country
can provide the necessities we need. Moreover, it portrays that nationalism is not just about an isolated
case of fighting for freedom but also how Filipinos perceive life in a manner that is creating something
from nothing to survive. In addition, Filipinos are also famous for their civic union, such as Bayanihan,
the share of wealth, trading of goods, donations, programs, etc., which are indicators of nationalism as
people care for their fellow countrymen.
Further, it also narrated the concept of condescension of the homeland per se. Nationalism
brings back our roots to the soil of the mainland and not forgetting where we came from. As we go back
to our land, we remember every event that brings happiness, learning, and experiences. Hypothetically,
even if we left the country for years and went home, we felt the home we were seeking. Nothing feels
like home, as they say, and that's how I can portray the concept of nationalism as it can provide good
wellness and well-being because we are surrounded by people who love us, an environment that can
supply demands and values that can give satisfaction.
Chorus- proud, voice out the best of the Philippines
Verse one-Looking in the positive side of the country. Telling what are the things that are memorable
and should be treasured.
Flexing the tradtional way or the Filipino way of living the life normal by utilizing what are available to
sustain life with happiness and satisfaction. Sustenance can be achieve as the country can provide the
basic necessities we need.
It portrays that nationalism is just not about an isolated case of fighting for freedom but also how
Filipinos perceive life in a manner that is creating something from nothing to survive. Bayanihan, share
of wealth, trading of goods
Verse two- Nothing like home. Nationalism brings back our roots to the soil of the main land and not
forgetting where we came from. AS we go back to our natural land, we tend to remember every events
that happened that brings happiness, learnings, and experiences. Hypothetically, even we left the
country for years, as we go back, we feel the home we are seeking for. Nothing feels like home as they
say and that's how I can portray the country as it can provide good wellness and well-being because we
are surrounded by people who loves us, environment that can supply demands, and values that can give
satisfaction.

We define social context as the specified set of social interactions in a society. Further, it
consists of norms, meanings, interpretations, expressions, and impressions that one group or
society practices or applies. It affects a person's beliefs and ideologies because we socialize as
humans, resulting in the acculturation of the social context we live in. As they say, no man is an
island, and to become part of a group, we must adapt to whatever context they have, which may
invalidate our own beliefs and ideologies. Such matter is subject to ad populum as people tend to
create fallacy to the extent that right ideologies are being disregarded and even wrong ones can
be right.
2. In 2-3 statements, how do you participate and the means you express this right of
expression?
By voicing out in social media sites, participating in evaluations, voting, and formally
addressing the concerns. As a student, I still have limited means of expressing my rights;
thus, to fill the holes, I do participate in activities that can satisfy my rights. Further, I
also use my social media accounts to provide awareness to others to avoid malice and
misdemeanors.
3. What is your take about the Bloggers at FB, in the exercise of their freedom of
expression? Limit statements to 5 only.
Some of them exercise their right with just, and some do not. I always encounter bloggers
at FB that give fundamental points, which enlighten social media users. Such bloggers
are the ones that people should follow as they provide knowledge that can be applied to
people's daily lives. On the other hand, we must be careful of some bloggers who give
fallacies to deceive or defraud people to gain fame and profits. These bloggers don't care
about the nation's sake; hence, we must avoid supporting them.

What relevance of the political message of the El Filibusterismo is in today's time in terms of:
1. Leadership style of the current Philippine president and defects of his government(3-
5 sentences only)
Opinionated statement, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has a dictatorial-
like leadership style wherein he possesses the power to rule the nation, resulting in
his administration's abuse of authority. Concerning, there have been many reports
subject to corruption, abusive use of power, police brutality, etc. In relation to El
Filibusterismo's political message, it portrays what should be applied and avoided in
terms of leadership and governance. Dr. Jose Rizal explicitly rendered the
significance of nationalism in securing the nation against all oppression and
injustices. Hence, our leaders should note the things that must be executed, not
prejudicing our laws, morality, and lives.
Interrelate, correlate
Activity 2:
Rizal attributed the indolence of the Filipinos of his time to meritorious reasons. At present, how do you
assess the attitude of the modern Filipino towards work, responsibility and accountability in his/her
respective undertaking? (Limit your answer to 3-5 sentences only)
Like a coin, there are two sides of Filipinos relating to approaching work, responsibility and
accountability. I cannot generalize Filipinos when it comes to attitude because they differ in
such. Some have decency, and some have not; however, I still think that a greater number of
Filipinos have astounding attitudes towards responsibility and accountability. Unfortunately,
there are cases in which the authorities and administrations are the ones who are incompetent and
cannot take accountability. Like in the pandemic, they should lead the nation, but they don't want
to handle accounts and become irrelevant to what people need.

For this part of the module, the following will be required to be appropriately responded for pre-
assessment purposes, but your scores will not be counted towards the final grade : Use this page for your
short answer.
1. Why did Rizal embark on the task of annotating Morga's book? Cite the main objective.
Rizal commenced on annotating Morga's book to correct what has been altered about the
Philippines, particularly the civilization, traditions, and way of living because of the colonization of
Spanish. He knew that he had the right or capability to change what has been misrepresented about the
country because he is a Filipino and a nationalist.
Module 7: Formative Assessment (Rizal's view of the Future of the Fiipino Nation)
Why should you be interested in the question about the future of the Philippines? Do you
think we can be at par with our neighboring countries like Singapore and Malaysia in the
next few decades? (limit your answer to a maximum of 5 sentences.)
We should question the future of the Philippines because we want a better life and
country for the next generations. As we are trying to develop the nation in the present, we want
to determine and forecast if the results will be favorable to us not to suffer. In my perspective,
yes, we can be at par with our neighboring countries, but to achieve this, we must also change
our concepts regarding society, government, and economy. Our hands are grasping the fate of
our nation; hence, to have development, the progress must start from the smallest unit (Filipino
civilian) to the largest unit (government). Disciplined citizens and exemplary leadership in the
government are the key factors to change the country's status quo.
