    READINGS IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY – GED103 | E01

    Going inside the museum is like travelling to the past through a time
    machine. Light and sound museum was divided into different parts, wherein each
    segment depicts some of the highlights of the Philippine history. The light and
    sound museum consists of dioramas and manequins which shows the histrorical
    event of the Philippines from the pre-colonial times to the life and death of Jose
    Rizal. This museum showcases the history of our country and journey to freedom.
    On the first part, we were shown how Magellan arrived in the Philippines in
    16th of March 1521. He was the first european that arrived in the country. The
    bravery of Filipinos can be clearly seen when the colonizers went in our country.
    Lapu-lapu’s fearlesness to resist Spanish colonization delayed the subjugation and
    conquering of our country for about 40 years. Indeed, Filipinos’ patriotism,
    courageness and nationalism is deep-rooted from our ancestors.
    We were also able to see the life of Jose Rizal and his works, from the
    publishing of La Solidaridad and the characters of Noli me Tangere. How he studied
    in Germany and Spain and his venture in conquering the Spanish colonization
    through his words and writings. Jose Rizal used his proliferate skill of writing to fight
    for our freedom. His devotion to change and strive for the well-being of our country
    is prodigious and remarkable.
    In this trip, I’ve also learned more about the walled city of Manila, which is
    Intramuros. It was one of the highlight of the show, on how the intramuros was built.
    I have learned that, back then, only the spaniards were allowed to go inside the
    Intramuros. It was exclusive only for the spanish friars, government officials, and
    their guests. The narrator of the museum also said that it was a happy place for the
    spaniards before where they held feasts and meetings, leaving the Filipino outside
    of the walls, starved and oppressed. Filipinos, through time, have shown their
    bravery and resiliency. They have continue aspiring for independency admists of
    chaos.
    This museum trip made me treasure more our history and value our national
    hero. Despite with his wealthiness and brillancy he never forget to look back from
    where he was raised. He bacame the voice of the voiceless, and instilled the sense
    of nationalism among Filipinos.

    After Rizal’s execution, I know his legacy, undertakings and ideology will
    always remain and will still live on. He died but his teachings and ideologies did not
    and will not. Philippine history will always be my most favorite story. It symbolizes
    strength, courage, freedom, love, and hope. Hope is one of the most powerful tool
    that the Filipinos of the past have and never lost. Their sacrifices and sufferings are
    remarkable.

    Filipinos may not be armed with weapons and guns in the spanish
    colonization but they were armed with their strong faith, hope and perseverance.
    Jose Rizal is the hero of our country but I think Filipinos before were also the hero of
    themselves. They may not be achieved the freedom earlier but their valor and
    courage in still moving forward for their love ones were astounding.
    If I were in these years, where the Spaniards were the ruler of our country, I
    think I will not be able to live longer than they can. The struggles and adversity that
    needs to overcome before were far beyond my strength, that only stronger people
    can overcome. Everyday is a battle of survival. The battle for oppression, the battle
    for freedom. Every drop of blood and every shed of tears were their everyday lives. I
    can’t imagine the pain and sorrow they have experienced to obtain the freedom
    that we have now.
    From this museum trip, I realized that it is the Filipino fortitude that made us
    win the battle for our freedom. I also learned that agression does not always
    siginifies power but silence with rational mind can do so. “On this battlefield, man
    has no better weapon than his intelligence, no other force but his heart.” – Jose
    Rizal.
