The ticket (not the same design from what I have)

He is one who sacrificed his life for us. The author of the book that we read, the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. By his doings here in our country, the Filipinos never forget about him. Our Philippine National Hero, Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda or also known as Jose Rizal. Jose Rizal was born on June 19, 1861. His parents are Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonso. He is the seventh child among his siblings named Saturina (1850–1913), Paciano (1851–1930), Narcisa (1852–1939), Olympia (1855-1887), Lucia (1857–1919), María (1859–1945), Concepción (1862–1865), Josefa (1865–1945), Trinidad (1868–1951) and Soledad (1870–1929). He studied at Ateneo Municipal de Manila, University of Santo Tomas and Universidad Central de Madrid with different courses. But in the end... he sacrificed his life, died on Deecmber 30, 1896 at Bagumbayan (Rizal Park now) and became our hero.

As a tribute for him, the whole campus of Don Antonio de Zuzuarregui Sr. Memorial Academy (DAZSMA) visited Assumpta Theater here in Antipolo City to watch the play "Batang Rizal." We waited for almost an hour before we entered the theater. Beside our section III - St. John the Evangelist, is the section of IV-St. John the Baptist doing random things like what we are doing to entertained ourselves. And finally, we entered the theater! It's so beautiful and cold inside, and we are on the second floor of the theater that's why we can't clearly saw the actors and actresses who participated the play. There are many things happened inside. Some parts of the play are funny, sad, historical, amazing and the others are boring... The story "Batang Rizal" is about Pepito, a young boy from the future opens a magical book that becomes a magical portal to the past and future. In his journey, he comes face-to-face with another young lad, Pepe aka Jose Rizal and finds himself exploring colonial Calamba. He takes Pepe to the future and they journey into an exciting series of events that reveal the truth about heroes, love and friendship. 

I learned many things while watching that play. I learned what the true meaning of the word "hero" is. You can be a hero also by doing good little things for the others. How to value "friendship". In the play there are three students who are always bullying Pepito but in the end those three make up with Pepito and helped with his problem. And many more.

Thus, our hero have those values. Even though he still alive until now or he is already dead, the only thing he wanted from us is to be proud that we are all Filipinos who lived in this country Philippines. He also wanted us to know the true meaning of "hero". Whether you are using a dangerous weapon or not, but you are saving someone/something... you are still a HERO.
