Its more fun in the Philippines

Philippine is one of the most beautiful countries in this world. Because there
are many beautiful cities like, Palawan City, Baguio City, Vigan City and many
more. And one of the most notable characteristics of Filipino society is its
strong family, community relationships, very kind and polite.
Here is one of the most beautiful in the Philippines, Palawan. As we go try to
visit a spot, we can feel the great preservation of the trees surrounding the
entire area which keeps ambience cool and refreshing. Infact Palawan is said
to be a City in the Forest. Aside from that, we commend their love for the
local fauna and flora species through establishing wild life preservation
centers and cultural facilities.
Their authentic dish like Tamilok is one of a kind and their fresh Buko juice
is refreshing. And their white pure sand along the seashores of the beaches
is good also the clean blue sea is like the sky.
And you think traveling is your passion try to visit Baguio City also called
Summer Capital of the Philippines a place that every people dream to of
going. To see Panagbenga Festival the fresh flower design into the giant
float for the parade is really amazing. The cool breeze brought by the fine
trees makes feel. And there are famous parks of Baguio like Burnhamn Park
and Minesview Park. There are so many people there, probably tourists,

enjoying the beautiful view of the place. We also go to the strawberry garden
and you can pick sweet strawberries.
And one of the place, I found interesting and beautiful scene is Vigan City
one of the historical place in the Philippines and one of seven wonders in the
world. If you are tourists you can go to Calle Crisologo or we called it the
Heritage Village because of the many old houses and cabbed narrow streets,
we also tried the Calesa tour and you can enjoy it.
I think there are things that you would achieve it you want it. It was all worth
it to be on Philippines because it was a one of a kind place that you could
treasure in your memory.

Rizal the Mason

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that took root in Europe and spread all
over the world. Its basic aims are to strive for moral betterment, work for the welfare of others, and bring
about a universal league of mankind (Watson in Licauco, 2008). Jose P. Rizal was a freemason who
condemned the corrupt ways of the Church and upheld individual and national liberty.

When Rizal arrived in Spain in 1882, he found a country that was strongly influenced by Masonic thought.
In 1868, less than twenty years before his arrival, Masons like Juan Prim led the revolution that set up a
liberal government which advocated for education. Masonic principles like individual liberty, freedom of
speech, equality, religious tolerance, separation of Church and State, and others were also made part of
the laws. (Fajardo, 1996)

In 1884, Rizal began to write Noli MeTangere to expose the political and religious corruption of Philippine
society. Later that year, he delivered a speech at a banquet organized in honor of Juan Luna and Felix
Resurreccion Hidalgo, who had both won gold and silver medals at the Exposicin Nacional de Bellas
Artes. In the speech, Rizal expressed his deep regard for Spain, but condemned the friars in the
Philippines. When copies of the speech reached Manila, he earned the anger and enmity of the
authorities who called him a filibustero or a subversive. According to Jorge Bocobo, Rizal believed that
one could be a good and moral person without the need for organized religion or the one true faith.

Rizal adopted the Masonic name Dimasalang when he was anointed under the Gran Oriente de Espaa.
Rizal is said to have been influenced to join Masonry by Miguel Morayta, a history professor at the
Universidad de Madrid. Revolutionaries such as Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Ladislao Diwa,
Marcelo H. del Pilar, Juan Luna, Deodato Arellano, Graciano Lopez-Jaena, H. Pardo de Tavera, and so
many others in the Propaganda Movement and La Liga Filipina were also Masons and as such were
automatically excommunicated as decreed for all Catholics becoming Masons since 1738 and reaffirmed
by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines in 1990.
In 1912, Rizal's family did not heed the Jesuits request to rebury their eminent pupil. That honor was
instead bestowed upon the Masons, led by Timoteo Paez who, in full regalia, carried Rizal's remains in a
long procession to the Masonic Temple in Tondo for funeral rites, before final interment at the Luneta,
where he had been executed for rebellion, sedition, and conspiracy 16 years before.
However, a controversy remains on whether or not Rizal recanted Masonry before he died. There were
allegedly three eye-witnesses to his retraction: Fathers Balaguer and Viza of the Society of Jesus and
Captain Rafael Dominguez, who claim that Rizal had signed a document of retraction and conversion
before he was executed. Captain Rafael Dominguez, who was with Rizal during Rizals last hours,
mentioned it in his notes, which were an hour by hour record of Rizals last moments (Zafra, 1951). On
the other hand, others believe that the documents produced by the Jesuits were fake and altered and the
testimonies given were coached. They assert that the Catholic Church only started to claim Rizal as their
own once they realized that the people had learned to love and admire Rizal (Fajardo, 1996).

BUOD NG PELIKULA:

Ang "Jose Rizal" ay maituturing na isa sa mga pinakamalaki at

pinakakontrobersyal na epikong Pilipino na binigyang buhay sa puting
tabing sa makabagong panahon.

Ang tatlong oras na palabas ay naglarawan ng buhay at

pakikipagsapalaran ng ating pambansang bayani at martir na si Jose
Rizal. Ang pelikulang ito ay itinaong ipalabas nuong "1998
Centennial", sa pagdiriwang ng kalayaan ng Pilipinas sa ilalim ng
kapangyarihan ng Kastila.

Si Rizal ay maituturing na henyo. Bukod sa pagiging isang manunulat,

siya din ay isang pintor, eskultor, manggagamot, guro, siyentipiko,
ekonomista, at enhinyero. Magaling din siya sa eskrima at paggamit
ng baril.

Siya ay nag-aral sa matataas na paaralan sa Europa, Amerika at Asya,

nakapaglakbay sa maraming bansa at natutong gumamit ng 22 na mga
lenguwahe katulad ng Latin, Spanish, German, English, French,
Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Russian, Tagalog
at iba pang salita. Si Rizal ang siyang nagpaalab sa damdamin ng
mga Pilipino upang mapoot sa mga pang-aapi ng mga Kastila. Ang
kanyang kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng "firing squad" sa edad na 35 ang
siyang nagsilbing mitsa ng unang himagsikan noong 1896-98.

Ang dalawang aklat na kanyang sinulat, ang Noli me Tangere at El

Fiilibusterismo, ay nagdagdag kamulatan sa mga Pilipino patungkol sa
mga kasalanang panlipunan ng mga Kastila.
