    The document discusses the poem "Sa Aking Mga Kababata" and questions its traditional attribution to Jose Rizal. It summarizes a book that argues the poem was not originally written by Rizal based on differences in style, language use, and historical evidence. The poem was first published in 1906 by Hermenegildo Cruz, who cited it coming from a friend of Rizal's, but not Rizal himself. Under the repressive Spanish regime, uncertainty surrounded authorship of works critical of the government. Overall, the document raises doubts about Rizal being the true author of "Sa Aking Mga Kababata."

    Rizal : Makata

    By : Virgilio S. Almario
    Reviewed by : Stephanie A. Ballaho

    The Youth Are the Hope of Our Nation. This is the most symbolic and patriotic cry
    penned by our very own National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal to empower young people to practice
    the spirit of nationalism. Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are some of his writings
    associated to his heroism. However, majority of the present generation has drastically reduced
    their passion to know the foundation and contribution of Jose Rizal to Philippine History and
    culture.

    This reflection focusses on his poem entitled Sa Aking Mga Kababata. The focal point
    of elaboration will substantially move us to asking a question: Did Jose Rizal Really Wrote The
    Poem Sa Aking Mga Kababata? Most of us truly believes the poems Sa Aking Mga Kababatas
    was written by Jose Rizal himself as taught by our professors during our secondary and tertiary
    level.

    The Book entitled Rizal: MAKATA authored by Virgilio S. Almario. He partially expounded
    his ideas about the authenticity and veracity of the true author of the poem. Accordingly, there
    was massive fear of being wrongfully tortured during Spanish Regime in the Philippines. This is
    the very reason why most of them were tight-lipped against the tyrant ruler. The poem was
    written in originally Spanish language that requires translations to Tagalog for Filipino to
    understand better. The translations to Tagalog become a poem in question of its true author.
    The content and text compared to other books of Rizal does not coincide and this explains the
    real author is mastered in Tagalog . Its punctuation marks used were not generally used by Jose
    Rizal in his writings too.

    It was believed that this poem Sa Aking Mga Kababata was being transferred from one
    hand to another. Hermenegildo Cruz first published the poem Sa Aking Mga Kababata on 1906.
    This book was the most important source for the details of life of Balagtas in Florante at Laura.
    All details related to this topic is based on his book. Where did H. Cruz got this? He had a
    paragraph in the written poem that says Ang tulang ito ay utang ko sa kaibigan kong si G.
    Gabriel Beato Francisco. And it was said that this was originally offered to him by certain G.
    Saturnino Racellis who was a then a very good friend of Dr. Jose Rizal.

    The Spanish Regime led most of the people kept their mouth shut and stayed within the
    protection of uncertainty. Jose Rizal, among the few, was the most vocal and brave individual
    facing against the tyrant. Perhaps, this could be the very reason why Sa Aking Mga Kababata
    was linked to him and gave much more importance than the supposed original authors.
