Explains the political ideas and beliefs of a group of people refers to a Political
Theory or Philosophy. A lot of people became famous because of their different
philosophies such as Aristotle, John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, Francois Marie-
Arouet, Jean Jacques Rosseau and there are also Filipinos like Jose P. Laurel, Manuel
Quezon, Andres Bonifacio and Jose Rizal. Our national hero is known not just in our
country but as well as all over the world because it brings a big impact not just for an
individual but as well as for the nation. His theories and ideologies spread throughout
the world that were still alive up to this day. That’s why I would like to reflect about his
works that made me realize and aware with some things.
His poem A La Juventud Filipinas became known for it describes the Philippine
youth as the fair hope of our motherland. With my age right now, I am so humbly
honoured to be part of the so called youth. Because I am one of those people that Rizal
is pertaining to be a hope of our country. It means that I have the obligation and
responsibility to do things that should bring light to our country whenever it faces
struggles and problems that would hinder the growth and development of the
Philippines. That’s why it became our basis especially for the teenagers that should be
satisfied and followed. It is also used in the Philippine Constitution, Article 2 Section 13.
But as for myself, I would like to admit that sometimes I forget my responsibility for our
country. Sometimes I do things that for sure Dr. Rizal would be disappointed. And I know
I’m not the only one who forgets about it because a lot of issues involving the youth were
arising nowadays such as their involvement in the usage and selling of drugs, rape
suspects and other violations in the Philippine laws. It’s so saddening and frustrating that
the hope Rizal pertains to are the ones who actually bring burden in not bringing light to
the country. But I know it’s not yet late to make it fresh again in our minds what Rizal has
said. He may be disappointed with what’s happening but for sure he still believes in us.
We only need someone who believes and trust us in order to get things done. We should
start with ourselves, do things that make ourself proud. Then the next thing is to make a
change outside our box, things that the society would be proud of. I believe that time will
come, the hope Rizal pertains to would bring the much needed light for our country and
no problems would be impossible to solve because there’s the youth who will make
solutions to such problem.
