Rizal Park
March 21, 2008 | 1,345 views
Between Burnham Park and the City Hall of Baguio is a rectangular piece of city property known as Rizal Park. The park was erected in honor of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, and is similar to numerous other parks found in towns and cities all over the Philippines, which are also named in his honor. It is on this site that the annual celebration honoring Rizal every 30th of December is held. Rizal was an academician, a linguist, historian, writer, a scientist, and a medical doctor. He wrote a book titled “Noli Me Tangere” where he depicted the condition Filipinos were living in under the hostile and oppressive rule of the Spanish friars. His books were banned by the Spanish friars in the country at that time since it sought to expose their corruption and greed. Rizal’s second novel was the “El Filibusterismo” which was the sequel to his first book and where he clarified his political ideas. Rizal is said to be one of the greatest Filipinos who ever lived. At a time when the Philippines was under the oppressive rule of the Spaniards who came to colonize the country, Rizal’s brilliance and dedication to his country served as inspiration for the Filipinos to fight for their independence. Rizal was a believer in the potential of the Filipino to seek the greatest heights amid adversity, and he lived a life that proved this.
