1. Teodora Alonzo played a crucial role in shaping Jose Rizals perspective and ideas during his younger years. She was a highly educated woman and taught in Rizal a strong sense of patriotism, love for education, and moral values. Teodora's influence on Rizal can be observed through her teachings, her encouragement of his intellectual pursuits. She taught him to read at a young age and encouraged his love of learning. Rizal quickly advanced beyond his fellow classmates standard education under her teaching and developed a deep passion for knowledge and critical thinking. Making Rizal has a passion on loving the country and have a critical mind on thinking beyond an ordinary at his age. 2. Paciano served as a mentor, guide, and role model to Jose, imparting valuable lessons and ideals that would greatly impact his future endeavors Paciano's influence on Jose Rizal's perspective can be seen in their witnessed firsthand the mistreatment of Filipinos by the Spanish authorities, teaching Rizal a strong sense of nationalism and a desire to fight for justice and equality. The influence of Paciano can also be seen at the famous works of RIzal the "El FIlibusterismo and Noli me Tangere" where they fight injustices inflicted on Filipinos and advocate for revolution under the Spaniards 3.

I think the most influential in molding Dr. Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a little child was his mother, Teodora Alonzo Realonda. Because his mother is his first teacher, she is the one who taught Dr. Jose Rizal how to read and write properly, she also taught him mathematics, she is also the one who opened Dr. Jose Rizal's eyes to the world around him, he also learned how to improve and grow himself and how important money is from his mother. Teodora Alonzo is a very supportive and caring mother to his son Dr. Jose Rizal, she did all she can to her child like all mother's do. That's why Dr. Jose Rizal became a very passionate and refined person and eventually become our national hero. I think if Dr. Jose Rizal got a different mother he wouldn't be known and be called as our national hero today. Yes. CABATAC (A07)
1.) Teodora Alonzo was influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child, she was his mother and his first teacher. His mother showed him how important education is, she instilled in him that education was very important and should be recognized because it is the one thing that no one can be stole from us. This idea and perspective was can be seen in Jose Rizal because of his outstanding grades in Ateneo and UST. We can also see his perseverance on gaining knowledge and wisdom by studying in big schools but he also studied outside of our country. He just proved his hunger for knowledge with his dedication. Teodora Alonzo also ingrained to Rizal her deep love for our country and we saw how Rizal did his best to achieve the freedom that we deserve by studying and Europe to observe liberalism there. He fought the Spaniards through the use of his knowledge even if it will cost his life just to achieve our freedom. 2.) Paciano was the older brother of Jose Rizal, he has also influenced Jose Rizal in his perspective and ideas when he was a child. As Paciano being the older brother of Jose Rizal, he became a role model to him and gave him guidance when Jose Rizal was a child. Paciano guided Jose Rizal and shared his wisdom to him, he also accompanied him when Jose Rizal went to Ateneo which shows that Paciano was supportive in his studies and shows him how important education is. He influenced him to study hard because he recognized the intelligence of Jose Rizal and what he could be in the future if he will use his intelligence and improve it by studying. Jose Rizal's patriotism was Paciano's influence, he told Jose about the execution of the GomBurZa and he opened his eyes to the reality how Spaniards are abusing the Filipinos, and by this, Jose Rizal got the determination to fight for his country by using his knowledge, wisdom, and a pen. 3.) Yes RAMOS, B43
1. Teodora Alonzo instilled a strong sense of nationalism and love for the country to Jose Rizal. She taught him the importance of education and hard work. As a kid, Rizal was captivated by her mother's stories of the history and the heroic deeds of the past. She taught him how to read and write at a young age despite the authorities prohibited it. This inspired Rizal to be a writer and intellectual. 2. Paciano Rizal strongly advocated for reform and social justice and influenced Rizal to inherit the same values. He taught Rizal to question the authorities and not just to agree on anything. Paciano was a model of selflessness and sacrifice as he gave up on his dream to support his family. He also encouraged Rizal to study abroad because he believed that it would expose him to new ideas and perspective that he could use to help our country. 3.Yes Loyola,A18
1. The most influential in molding Rizal's perspective and ideas was his mother, Teodora Alonzo, as we all know Teodora was his first teacher, he taught his son very neatly and properly as he grew up to be an intelligent person. When Rizal was just only 5 years old, he already learned how to read and write, Teodora was there to guide and teach Rizal by reading stories such as The Story of the Moth. Rizal grew up as an intelligent and kind person just like his mother, and that proves to us that Teodora did her very best just for her child to grow up beautifully and properly. We individuals can very much relate when it comes to our mother being our first teacher. Our mothers taught us how to talk and properly treat others with politeness, and they used to introduce us to what it is like in the real world. Without his mother, Rizal's personality wouldn't be complete as Teodora had a massive help and impact on Rizal as well as his family. 2.YES. BALBENTA, A01
1. In my opinion, the person who was the most influential in molding the perspective and principles of Dr. Jose Rizal when he was a child was his mother, Teodora Alonzo. His mother was his first teacher. She was the one who taught Rizal the values and conduct that a person must have. It didn't take long for him to realize the significance of time as life's most valuable gift because she taught him never to waste a single second. Teodora Alonzo has a vast effect on Rizal's life, for she influences him in the virtue of the world, which includes injustice and intolerance, which also inspires Rizal to the wonders of freedom and self-choice. His mother instilled in him the importance of self-improvement and how to become a righteous individual by not giving up on education on his dreams. Above all, I can say that his mother became his inspiration, and without Teodora Alonzo's teachings and obedience, Rizal would not be the person we used to know. 2. Yes. Bañocia (A06)
Of all the persons who had the greatest influence on Rizal’s growth as a person was none other than his mother Teodora Alonso. It was she who opened his heart and eyes to the world around him, with all its poetry and soul, as well as its injustice and bigotry. Throughout his brief life, Rizal proved to be his mother’s son, as he constantly strive to keep the lessons she taught him. His mother was his first teacher, and from her he learned how to read and to value reading as a means for learning and spending his time meaningfully. It did not take long before he realized that time is life’s most precious gift, because she taught him never to waste a single second of it. As a student in Spain he became the most the smartest among students. He never missed a class despite his activities as a Propaganda leader, or an exam, despite having to take it on an empty stomach. By his mother as example, he inspired his companions. From his mother he learned the value of improving himself. Growing up, he took pains to understand the logic of mathematics, to draw, to write poems, to paint, and sculpt. All of these he earned not only glory but also the fear of his enemies. ENDEREZ, A06
1. Teodora Alonzo is not only the first person to teach her, but also her mother. The values of discipline, fairness, and kindness were instilled in Rizal by his mother. Most importantly, she instilled in them a sense of respect for Filipinos. Rizal was inspired to begin writing poetry by her mother, who was also a poet. Dona Teodora has a gentle attitude and a heart of gold. She saw Rizal's talent for writing poetry and encouraged him to pursue it. Influenced by her mother, Rizal continued to pen poetry that called attention to the injustices committed against Filipinos and inspired the Filipino people to take action. His mother and his country are the inspiration for everything he achieves, despite his modest stature. She made sure that Rizal's talents were not wasted by giving him with a tutor. Because of this, Rizal's enthusiasm increased, because he realized that he had the backing of his peers. This ultimately led to Rizal's independence and success, making him a key figure in the fight for independence from Spain's colonial rule. 2. The influence of Paciano Rizal on Jose Rizal's early development as a thinker and writer cannot be underestimated. Paciano inspired Jose Rizal to fight for Filipino human liberties and rights. Paciano belonged to the Propaganda Movement, a faction of Filipinos living abroad in Europe that advocated for political change in the form of Spanish colonial rule. Paciano's influence on Jose Rizal can be seen in his choice to pursue higher education in Europe. Paciano supported Jose Rizal financially and morally when the latter told him of his wish to study in Europe. Paciano had a significant impact on Jose Rizal, particularly during his formative years, encouraging him to pursue a career in nationalist and reformist politics. The influence of Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother, was formative during Jose's formative years. He introduced Jose Rizal to the liberal and nationalist views that would form the basis of his writings and turn him become a nationalist and reformist. 3. YES MOSTIZO, A18
1.) Teodora Alonzo's influence in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was very vital as she plays a significant role as a mother to Rizal. She instilled in him important values, such as a love for education, a sense of justice, and nationalism. Teodora Alonzo herself was an educated woman and deeply passionate about the welfare of her family and country. She recognized her son's potential and took great care of his upbringing. An example of Rizal's mother's influence on him is despite their having challenges and limitations due to their financial situation, she encouraged Rizal to study diligently and supported his pursuit of knowledge. Her belief in the power of education to uplift individuals and societies greatly influenced Rizal's views on education. He grew up valuing education as a means to bring about positive change and empowerment, which later became one of the core themes in his writings and advocacy. 2.) Paciano Rizal's influence in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was very vital as well because he is his older brother and he played a crucial role in shaping Rizal's perspective and ideas during his childhood. Paciano served as a mentor, guide, and source of inspiration for his younger brother. He had a profound influence on Rizal's moral and intellectual development. One example of Paciano Rizal's influence on Jose Rizal can be seen in his involvement in the martyrdom of the Gomburza priests. Paciano witnessed the execution of these priests, who were falsely accused of treason by the Spanish authorities. This event deeply impacted Paciano, and he shared the story with his younger brother, Jose Rizal. The incident fueled Rizal's growing awareness of social injustice and oppression, and it inspired him to fight for reforms and advocate for the rights of his fellow Filipinos. 3.) Yes -DE GUIA,B43
Of all the persons who influence Jose Rizal, the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child is Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal’s mother. Jose Rizal’s mother was known for being a disciplinarian and hard-working mother. Jose Rizal’s mother was the one who opened his eyes and heart to the world and environment around him. Teodora Alonzo was the first teacher Jose Rizal had, she taught Jose Rizal various things. From all the lessons Teodora Alonzo gave, I think the one that impacted Jose Rizal the most is the primacy of improving oneself, this was the reason Jose Rizal was able to learn write poems, draw, sculpt, paint. She was the one who molded Jose Rizal on how he decided to become a pacifist. His mother, Teodora Alonzo’s gift, the lessons and knowledge that was bestowed to Jose Rizal had the greatest impact since his mother was involved greatly in Jose Rizal’s life. Yes DACANAY (A01)
1. Teodora Alonzo was influential in molding Rizal's ideas and perspectives. Her impact on Rizal's early years was so profound that he referred to her as his first teacher and credited her with inspiring his patriotism. Teodora Alonzo's ardent advocacy for education is one example of her influence on Rizal's perspectives and ideas. She believed strongly in the potential of education to uplift individuals and communities, and she supported Rizal in continuing his studies despite the obstacles he faced. She taught him to read and write at a young age and made certain he obtained the greatest education possible, even sending him to the prestigious Ateneo Municipal in Manila to study. This emphasis on education had a major impact on Rizal's worldview, prompting him to become a proponent of school reform in the Philippines. He believed that education was critical to national development and worked to encourage universal access to education as well as the use of Filipino in schools. 2. Paciano Rizal was influential in molding Rizal's ideas and perspectives. Paciano Rizal introduced Jose Rizal to the movement's principles, and he was strongly urged to continue his education since he saw it as crucial to their success. Paciano Rizal's teachings also cultivated Jose Rizal's admiration and affection for his native Philippines. An example of how Paciano Rizal influenced Jose Rizal is evident in his work "Noli Me Tangere". In the book, Jose Rizal details the mistreatment of Filipinos at the hands of the Spanish colonial authorities and the friars. Paciano Rizal's involvement with the Propaganda Movement and his exposure to the brutality of the colonial government served as the inspiration for this book. By writing the book, Jose Rizal hoped to galvanize the Filipino people to stand up for their independence. In conclusion, Jose Rizal's intellectual and moral growth was influenced by Paciano Rizal's support for political and social changes, his patriotism, and his mentorship, which led to Jose being one of the most significant figures in Philippine history. 3.

1. When we were born into this world, the first person that we trust is our mother. As a baby, we cry when we’re hungry, when we’re hurt, when we don’t know how to express thoughts, etc. By the time it happens, the first person that we or other people look for is our mother as they know what we want and what we feel. That is what we call the “mothers love”. As we grow up, most of us have a mother or a mother figure, to begin with. In the case of Dr. Jose Rizal, it was his mother. Mrs. Teodora Alonzo was Rizal first teacher. She molds and disciplines Rizal in his young years, and that is reflected in how Rizal grew up as a child. She didn’t let Rizal's intelligence become a waste and supported him through the means of providing a tutor. This led to the improvement of Rizal's passion as he knows that other people support him. And later, this is the reason why Rizal became successful on his own and he became an instrument on how we free from the Spain Colonizers. 2. Yes Herrera - A07
1. For me, Teodora Alonzo, Dr. Jose Rizal's mother, was the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child. We now all know that his first teacher was his own mother Teodora, and she was the one who opened Rizal's eyes and influenced him to learn about reading and cherishing one's time. Teodora even brought Dr. Jose Rizal to maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz in order to study and learn and by that he became a better writer and speaker. His mother taught him to value time, work, and not waste money, unlike the others. Teodora taught Rizal how to improve himself and help people who are in need. Rizal learned to obey his mother's guidance and for me, she was the reason why Dr. Jose Rizal grew up to be the person and hero he was. 2.Yes Ladrido, A01
1. Teodora Alonzo was a significant person in Jose Rizal's life, affecting his perspective and views from a young age. She instilled in Rizal a great appreciation for the information and the power of education as a highly educated woman in a period when women were not granted the same opportunities as men. She pushed him to pursue a variety of courses and languages, such as Spanish, English, and Tagalog. Teodora Alonzo's involvement in the Propaganda Movement, an association of Filipino intellectuals who attempted to foster awareness about the injustices of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, was one significant instance of Teodora Alonzo's influence on Rizal. Teodora Alonzo was an activist who frequently discussed political and social concerns with her son. Her fight for the Filipino people's rights and her confidence in the power of collective action to affect change inspired Rizal to become a key role in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish rule. 2. Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's elder brother, influenced his younger brother's perspective and views from an early age. Paciano was recognized for his nationalist and anti-colonialist ideas, which he imparted to Jose and instilled in him a strong sense of Filipino patriotism. Paciano's participation in the Propaganda Movement, a group of Filipino intellectuals who attempted to raise awareness about the wrongdoing of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, was one significant example of Paciano's effect on Jose. Paciano was a major member of the movement who aggressively strove to bring others on board. Jose was inspired to become a key figure in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish authority by his advocacy for the rights of the Filipino people and his conviction in the power of collective action to affect change. Indeed, Jose Rizal's masterpiece "El Filibusterismo" was dedicated to his brother Paciano, who was a major source of inspiration and advice for him. 3. YES (DE LEON, A18)
1. Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonzo, was influential in shaping his perspective and ideas during his formative years. She instilled in him a strong sense of nationalism, a love of education, and a strong sense of justice and equality. One example of Teodora Alonzo's influence on Jose Rizal can be seen in the fact that she taught him to read and write at a young age. This provided him with an advantage in school and allowed him to learn more about his country and its history. Teodora also taught Jose Rizal the value of standing up for what is right and just, no matter what the consequences were. Furthermore, Jose Rizal was inspired by Teodora Alonzo's patriotism and love for her country. She was a member of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that sought to unite Filipinos to fight for their rights and freedom. Jose Rizal, who was only a child at the time, witnessed his mother's commitment to the cause and her unwavering belief in her beliefs. This experience had a profound impact on him and inspired him to pursue his own nationalist ideals. 2. Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother, was instrumental in shaping his younger brother's perspective and ideas as a child. Paciano had a significant influence on Jose and served as a role model for him to emulate. Paciano instilled in Jose the importance of education and standing up for one's beliefs. He also taught Jose about the harsh realities of life under Spanish colonial rule, which influenced Jose's subsequent writings and activism. Paciano also encouraged Jose to continue his education and financially supported him, allowing him to study abroad in Europe. This experience broadened Jose's outlook and exposed him to new cultures and ideas, which he later incorporated into his own writings and activism. 3. YES MARTINEZ, A18
1. The most influential and the one who had a caused a huge impact upon the career, personality and life of Dr. Jose Rizal in my opinion was no other than his great mother, A. Teodora Alonzo. It was her mother who first opened his eyes and his heart to the world around him. She became his first teacher through out his early days. It was through her that Dr. Jose Rizal has learned to read, which as a result, it came to the point that he truly values reading as it means of learning and spending one's time as meaningfully as it is. He learned the value of self-improvement from his mother, and as he grew older, he worked hard to understand the concept of mathematics, to write poems, to draw, to sculpt, and to paint. Throughout his short existence, Dr. Jose Rizal demonstrated that he was his mother's son, resembling his mother in character and personality, as he constantly strived to keep faith in the lessons she taught him. 2. Yes Peralta, A01
Teodora Alonso, as a well-educated and passionate advocate of education, played a crucial role as one of the first teachers in Jose Rizal's life. As a child, Rizal was profoundly influenced by his mother's teachings and example. Among the stories she shared with him, one of the most memorable was that of the moth. Through this tale, Teodora taught her son about the risks of blind obedience and devotion, warning him against blindly accepting authority without questioning its validity. This lesson would stay with Rizal for life, informing his views on critical thinking and individual responsibility. This story left a deep impression on young Rizal and it became a recurring theme in his work. In his novel "Noli Me Tangere," he used the story of the moth to criticize the blind obedience of the people towards the Spanish colonial authorities. Rizal believed that just like the moth, the people were blindly following the Spanish colonial government, despite the obvious dangers and consequences. Teodora's teachings and example had a profound impact on her son's perspective and ideas, shaping his views on education, justice, and social issues. The story of the moth is just one example of the many lessons and values that Teodora instilled in her son. Rizal's success as a writer, a doctor, and a revolutionary can be attributed in large part to the guidance and inspiration he received from his mother. Paciano was highly educated and involved in political activities, exposing Rizal to various social and political issues that influenced his work as an activist and writer. The execution of the Gomburza martyrs in 1872, which Paciano shared with Rizal, was a pivotal event that left a profound impression on his brother. The execution of the three Filipino priests by the Spanish colonial government stirred Rizal's outrage towards the injustices and abuses of the colonial government, leading him to become an advocate for social and political change in the Philippines. Apart from sharing historical events, Paciano also served as a role model for his younger brother. As an older sibling and a respected member of the community, Paciano instilled in Rizal the values of education, critical thinking, and civic responsibility. Through his guidance and mentorship, Paciano helped shape Rizal's worldview and inspired him to pursue his passion for writing and activism. In conclusion Paciano played a crucial role in shaping Rizal's perspectives and ideas through his political involvement and mentorship. Rizal's work as an activist and writer can be attributed to the influence of his older brother's guidance and support. YES Ramirez A18
1.One of the people who, in my opinion, had the greatest influence on Doctor Jose Rizal's perspective and thoughts as a child was his own mother, Teodora Alonzo. His mother served as his first teacher, source of inspiration, and role model. She is the woman and mother who shaped the spirit and thoughts of Doctor Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. Also, she was the one who had an impact on our national hero's favorite story, which was subsequently found to be eerily identical to what occurred in his own life. When Dr. Jose Rizal was a little older, his family relocated him to Binan Laguna, the town where his mother was born, so that he might continue his education and achieve success. We are well aware that Dr. Jose Rizal's mother served as his primary source of inspiration for pursuing a career in medicine. He wished to be able to provide for and heal his mother's needs. Jose Rizal's life was heavily influenced by his mother in a variety of ways, and it all culminated in his being recognized as the country's national hero. 2.Yes. (Morfe, A01)
1.Jose Rizal was known for being a bright person even when he was only a child. He possessed such creativeness and was gifted with intelligence and some other talents. However, without the help of his mother he won’t be able to enhance and mold his talents and share them with the world. Thus, I do believe that his mother, Teodora Alonzo, plays a huge role in Dr. Jose Rizal’s life by being the most influential person who helped him to see and understand the different perspective of life back when he was a child. We all know that his mother was his first teacher meaning, all the knowledge, wisdom, and insight he has came from his mother. There are ample of learnings that we can get from our mothers, especially those lessons that schools do not teach. Our mothers can open our hearts and minds in their own different way that only they can make us realize the importance of seeing what is beyond in a certain situation, which indicates that what we see is not the whole part but only a portion of a whole. Likewise, Dr. Jose Rizal’s mother puts an effort to teach and influence him on how to be a good person and with that we have known him for being our National Hero who fought for the Filipinos by the use of his wit and knowledge. 2. YES - Emperador (A07)
1.) For me, I think the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child is none other than his mother, Teodora Alonzo. His mother was his first teacher and based on the lecture, she taught Rizal the basic but most essential tools in life; which are reading and writing. With his mothers' aid, he was able to read and write at the age of five, which is a very early age for a kid to be able to do those things. Despite his sisters' "pang-aasar" he knows and his parents know that he is someone special. He is special and different from other people because of his skills that were developed early in his age; reading, writing, molding, and poem writing are just some of them. We can account the contribution of Maestro Cruz because he was his first actual teacher where he easily excelled among his classmates, but the initial contribution of his mother is incomparable with others. 2.) YESSS!!
1.Teodora Alonzo, the mother of Jose Rizal, was a key figure in shaping the national hero's perspective and ideas during his childhood. Her influence on Rizal was profound and far-reaching, touching on important issues like education and the struggle for Philippine independence. As a highly educated and cultured woman, Teodora understood the importance of education in achieving social and political reform. She was determined to provide her son with the best possible education, despite the difficulties and limitations of the time. Through her efforts, Rizal was able to develop a deep love for learning, which he later used to advocate for education as a means of uplifting the Filipino people. Teodora's influence on Rizal also extended to his sense of Filipino identity and pride. Through her stories of Philippine history and culture, she inspired Rizal to become a champion for Philippine independence and to resist the injustices of the Spanish colonial regime. Her teachings helped to shape Rizal's worldview and his eventual role as a national hero of the Philippines. In conclusion, Teodora Alonzo's impact on Rizal's perspective and ideas was immense, and her legacy continues to inspire Filipinos today. Her commitment to education and her love for her country helped to shape Rizal into the visionary leader and hero that he became. 2. Paciano Rizal, the elder brother of Jose Rizal, played a crucial role in shaping his younger brother's worldview during his formative years. As a passionate advocate for Philippine independence and a mentor to his younger brother, Paciano was an influential figure in Rizal's intellectual and moral development. One example of Paciano's impact on Rizal was his strong sense of nationalism and resistance against colonial oppression. Paciano's political activism and unwavering commitment to the cause of Philippine independence inspired Rizal to challenge the status quo and work towards a better future for his country. Under his brother's guidance, Rizal developed a deep sense of pride in his Filipino heritage and a determination to fight for justice and equality. Moreover, Paciano provided Rizal with invaluable support and encouragement throughout his academic and artistic pursuits. He helped him to secure funding for his studies abroad and introduced him to influential individuals in Manila's intellectual circles, further expanding his horizons and deepening his knowledge. In short, Paciano Rizal's influence on his younger brother was profound and far-reaching, contributing significantly to his eventual role as a national hero of the Philippines. His unwavering dedication to the cause of Philippine independence and his role as a mentor and supporter of his younger brother's intellectual and artistic pursuits make him a figure to be admired and celebrated in Philippine history.

1) The most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was his mother, Teodora Alonzo. She allowed him to see the world and open his heart to it. She opened his eyes and heart to the world around him with all its soul and poetry and its bigotry and injustice. Rizal proved to be his mother's son, a chip off the old block, throughout his brief life, as he constantly strived to keep faith in the lessons she taught him. His mother was his first instructor, and she was the one who taught him. Here that he learned to read and, as a result, to value reading as a means of learning and meaningfully spending one's time. He quickly realized what he had done. An essential gift that life can bestow is time. Because she taught him never to waste a single second of it. As a result, as a student in Spain, he became the most conscientious of students, never missing a class or an examination, despite having to take them on an empty stomach due to his activities as a Propaganda leader. By his example, he inspired his compatriots those who had fallen into a life of squandering, wasting time and allowances on gambling and promiscuity to return to their studies and earn the sacrifices made by their parents. He learned the importance of self-improvement from his mother, and as a result, as he grew older, he strove hard to comprehend mathematics rationale. Write poems, draw and sculpt, and paint. Unfortunately, he garnered not just honor but also the terror of shortsighted souls for all of this. 2) Yes OLAES, A07
I think the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was Justiniano Aquino Cruz who was a native maestro in his mother's hometown of Binan. At an early age based on the video, Dr. Jose Rizal who has been sent to Binan for his schooling under his maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz. Where Dr. Jose Rizal excelled over his other classmates, he became better at writing and speaking Spanish. His tutor or maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz was his second parent who guided and taught him many things in education and life. It is mentioned that he idolized Napoleon Bonaparte where he molded clay into a little statue of Napoleon, which was also one of the ones that gave him the influence to be a hero someday. But I think what gave him more influence was the teacher that he was with when he was young. It is normal for you to idolize someone who can inspire you, especially children. But the person who will awaken you in many things in life is probably the one you have been with for a long time. And I believe that Dr. Jose Rizal while studying and staying with his maestro was also learning something in life because he is smart. Not only academically learning but also in the broader mind and a lot of ideas in life. Yes Balubar (A07)
1.) Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonzo definitely was a major impact in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas. She was known for bravery and intelligence. Education, Teodora Alonzo influenced Jose Rizal and her children on emphasis on education. Teodora instilled her children to pursue education and to strive for excellence. She believed that education was the key to success and independence. She also encouraged her children to read books and learn new things. Teodora Alonzo played a crucial role in molding Jose Rizal, she served as a foundation for Rizal's beliefs and advocacy. 2.) Jose Rizal's brother, Paciano Rizal, was a nationalist who fought for Philippine independence. Like his mother Paciano encouraged Jose to pursue education, he wanted Jose to have the knowledge and skills to fight for their country's independence. Through Paciano's guidance and influence, Jose Rizal developed a strong sense of nationalism this molded Jose's beliefs and principles, shaping the course of Philippine history 3.) Yes. Mopera (A18)
1.) She was influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child because it was said in the youtube video that Teadora Alonzo was his first teacher of Rizal. It was also mentioned that his mother used to tell him a story about the moth which has a great moral lesson that he may apply in life. I am certain that there are more stories that have a great moral lesson that his mother told him. Teodora Alonzo was a well-educated, experienced woman who taught her kids the importance of education, hard work, and fairness. She had a big impact on Rizal, and he often said that she was the reason he was so patriotic and wanted to fight for the rights of his fellow Filipinos. Rizal's works and writings are evidence of the influence of his mother, his works are commonly for Filipinos making them realize the importance of our rights and the truth behind the treatment of the colonizers. 2.) His brother is also influential to him, Paciano was an important figure in Rizal's life, and he had a considerable impact on the development of Rizal's personality, intellect, and sense of nationalism. His own experiences as a rebel served as one of the primary means by which he imparted his worldview and beliefs to Rizal. Paciano got imprisoned and tortured as a result of his participation in the 1872 Cavite Mutiny, which was an unsuccessful revolt against the Spanish colonial government of the Philippines. This event had a major impact on Paciano, who in turn would have an effect on Rizal's later political activism and revolutionary drive. Paciano studied fine arts, and he told Rizal that he should do the same. He gave Rizal books and other things that helped him learn more and become more interested in the world. Rizal became a well-educated person because his brother helped him become interested in learning. He went to college in Europe, where he learned more about politics, society, and history and deepened his understanding of them. 3.) YES.
1. I personally think that Teodora Alonzo was the most influential in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child because she was his first teacher. He learned how to read and write before the age of 5 because of her. He learned to love and appreciate reading as a form of learning and as a meaningful recreational activity. She also taught him to value time which he readily practiced when he went to Spain to study. Also, she taught him the importance of continually improving oneself and as a result, he learned and practiced a lot of hobbies that he would soon use to help the nation when he grew up. Besides that, she also taught and exposed him to labor and to always see the importance of hard-work and camaraderie. She also taught him to be generous and to always be willing to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate. Also, she taught him to value earned money, to be thrifty, and to be responsible enough in handling it. Most importantly, Jose learned about obedience with his mother’s story entitled “The Story of the Moth (Gamo-gamo)” which he struggled to abide by with everything that the Church had done during those times. All in all, these lessons helped Rizal with his everyday life in Europe and when he went back here to help the Filipinos. 2.

1. For me, his mother Teodora Alonzo had the greatest influence in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child. Rizal's mother was her first teacher, from her he learned how to read and as a result of this, reading is valued as a way of learning and using one's time productively, she teaches him everything he knows when he was younger. She was the one who first opened his eyes and heart to the reality around him, with all of its soul and poetry as well as its prejudice and injustice. Also, Teodora taught in him the importance of manual labor, self-reliance, and business. And by sharing with others, she taught him kindness and how to support people in the world who had less material goods. So, his mother really had the most significant role in his life. He would not be able to do the things that he accomplished without the help of his mother. 2. Yes. (Tabafunda, A06)
Ramilo, B43 1) Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonzo, was very influential in forming his viewpoint and thoughts during his early years. She was a well-educated, powerful woman who taught Rizal the importance of education, patriotism, and a strong sense of national identity. The mentoring and support provided by Teodora Alonzo greatly influenced Rizal's growth into a national hero and a leading figure in the Philippine independence struggle. Teodora Alonzo's encouragement of Rizal's academic and intellectual endeavors is one illustration of her influence on him. She made sure that Rizal had the greatest education possible while being a woman of her day who understood the value of education. Teodora Alonzo made significant sacrifices for her son, including selling her own farm to pay for his study abroad expenses. During his time studying in Europe, Rizal was exposed to a wide range of ideologies and cultures, which had a significant impact on the development of his nationalist beliefs and his dedication to the cause of social justice. Teodora Alonzo's unwavering commitment to his education and her faith in the power of information made this exposure possible. It is impossible to exaggerate Teodora Alonzo's influence on Jose Rizal's thinking and worldview. She lay the groundwork for Rizal's intellectual and patriotic growth, ultimately molding him into the national hero and significant figure he became through her support of education, her cultivation of his sense of national identity, and her stories of tyranny. 2) During his formative years, Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother, was extremely influential in forming Jose Rizal's viewpoint and views. Jose looked up to Paciano as a mentor and role model, helping him grow both intellectually and personally. Jose Rizal was greatly influenced by him, and his beliefs, national identity, and dedication to social justice were all shaped by him. The fact that Paciano had a deep dedication to the Filipino people and their struggle for independence was one of the major factors that influenced Jose Rizal. Jose was made aware of the abuses experienced by their fellow countrymen during Spanish colonial control by Paciano, who was a prominent member of the Filipino nationalism movement. He imparted his wisdom and experiences, which shaped Jose's perception of the difficult living conditions faced by Filipinos. Jose Rizal's viewpoint was also affected by Paciano's participation in covert groups like the Katipunan that sought to oust Spanish colonial control. Jose gained a strong sense of nationalism and the will to fight for the rights and welfare of his fellow Filipinos as a result of the talks and actions that took place within these groups. Jose Rizal's viewpoint and beliefs were greatly influenced by Paciano Rizal. Jose's awareness of social injustices, his nationalism, and his development as a national hero were all moulded by Paciano's dedication to the Filipino cause, support for Jose's education, and mentorship. It is impossible to overestimate Paciano's influence on Jose Rizal's life and later contributions to the independence movement in the Philippines. 3) Yes
1.) During his early years, Teodora Alonzo, the mother of Philippine national hero Jose Rizal, had an important part in shaping his viewpoint and views. She had a significant impact on Rizal's character development and intellectual progress, instilling virtues like nationalism, perseverance, and a thirst for knowledge in him. Teodora Alonzo, noted for her wisdom and strength of character, understood the value of education and encouraged Rizal's quest of knowledge. She believed in the ability of education to improve both individuals and nations. For example, she personally taught Rizal to read and write at a young age, cultivating his intellectual curiosity and establishing the groundwork for his future achievements. In addition, Teodora Alonzo instilled in Rizal sensitivity and social conscience. She exposed him to the social injustices and oppression felt by Filipinos during the occupation of the Spaniards. This bore fruit to Rizal's unwavering love and compassion towards his country and men. 2.) Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother, was instrumental in shaping his younger brother's viewpoint and views during the early years of his life. Paciano was Jose's mentor, advisor, and source of inspiration, shaping his character and cultivating his desire for social justice and independence. Paciano, being an enthusiastic reader and nationalist, introduced Jose to a vast selection of books and ideas that motivated his intellectual development. He introduced Jose to notable works by Filipino nationalists and writers, aroused his interest in his people's history and conflicts. Paciano encouraged in Jose a sense of national identity and pride by sharing his own experiences and specialization. Paciano Rizal's education, nationalist convictions, and personal example contributed in the formation of Jose Rizal's viewpoint and views throughout the course of his childhood. Paciano's influence was critical in shaping Jose into the national hero he became, with a strong sense of patriotism, a keen understanding of society, and an insatiable passion for Philippine independence. 3.) Yes Macario(B43)
1. Jose Rizal's mother had a significant influence on how he was raised and developed as a writer and thinker. She taught him values that would eventually shape his opinions and beliefs, such as fearlessness, independence, and a strong sense of justice. His mother gave him an insightful moral lesson. Teodora Alonzo was an educated, sophisticated woman who instilled in her children the values of learning, perseverance, and fairness. She had an influential impact on Rizal, who frequently referred to her as the inspiration behind his strong sense of patriotism and desire to defend the rights of his fellow Filipinos. She showed him how to use his time wisely by encouraging him to view reading as a means of expanding his knowledge. Because his mother was literate and could speak Spanish better than he could, Rizal claims that she gave him his dreamy disposition and love of poetry. 2. Patriot and reformer Paciano instilled similar views in his younger brother. Rizal was affected by Paciano's exposure to the injustices and cruelty the Filipino people experienced under Spanish colonial rule. Paciano took involved in a variety of nationalist and reformist activities. He talked to his younger brother about his findings and observations. Rizal may have picked up some knowledge from his brother Paciano Rizal regarding the unfair treatment of our country and the state of the world. These occurrences may have opened Rizal's eyes to what he needs to do as he matures. Because of the influence of his brother, Rizal was able to acquire an outstanding education. Rizal was taught the importance of education, critical thinking, and civic responsibility by Paciano. Paciano influenced Rizal's outlook and encouraged him to pursue his passion for literature and activism through his guidance and mentorship. 3. Yes MALABANAN, B43
1. Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal's first teacher, was the most significant person in shaping his perspective and ideas as a kid. Teodora Alonzo was patient, diligent, and understanding, and it was she who opened his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all its soul and poetry. She was the one who first saw her son's ability for poetry, and she was the one who taught him to read, pray, the value of hard earned money, saving part of one's earnings and thus he learned to save despite growing in comfort and wealth. As Jose got older, his parents hired private tutors to teach and educate Rizal, send him to school and that helps shape his perspective and ideas about life. 2. yes
1. Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonso, in my opinion, was the most significant in shaping his perspective and thoughts as a child. Teodora was Rizal’s first teacher, and it was through her that he learned to write and read as a result, he value reading as a useful way to spend one's time learning. His mother was also the one who first exposed him to the world around him, with all of its passion for poetry. Teodora taught him to be a soft-hearted man and helped to make the world a better place for those who lacked material belongings by giving to others. His mother also reinforced in him the importance of hard-earned money, as well as the significance of being frugal and limiting oneself to save aside a portion of one's earnings as a cushion against life's whims. He learned to save and scrape despite living in comfort and riches. 2. Yes VINZON, A06
1. What became more influential on Dr. Jose Rizal when he was a child most likely was Teodora Alonzo, his mother. His mother was his first teacher. Like other children, their mother was their first teacher in their life. She taught him how to read and write. He awakened her son to the real world as she led him. His mom is the most positive and significant influence on his life. Teodora Alonzo was the first person to teach him how to pray, read, and write. His mother enjoyed poetry and encouraged him to compose it. Rizal joined the realm of literature with the assistance of this, which led him to write masterpieces such as El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere, which ignited a revolution. Like many Filipino boys, Jose Rizal had fond recollections of his youth. He grew up in a loving environment, surrounded by parental love, imbued with family joys, and sanctified by prayers. He spent his childhood in the middle of such a serene, sophisticated, God-fearing household. Teodora Alonzo, his mother, opens his eyes to see the goodness and reality of the world they live in at that time. 2. Yes Brillo(A07)
1) My answer for this question is similar to a question on a previous coursework, Teodora Alonzo had a great affinity for the arts, notably music and literature, which she would pass on to her children. She also made a greatest impact on Rizal's development, she taught him discipline, justice, and compassion. Since she was Rizal's first teacher, Teodora Alonzo became Rizal's inspiration and a role model to the point that Rizal manage to inherit his mother's practical temperament, stoicism, self-sacrifice, temperament of a dreamer, and fondness of poetry. 2) Based on what I've reseach more about Paciano, he served as Rizal’s guardian while the latter was studying in Spain. Paciano was a huge influence to Rizal’s life. He would constantly send money to Spain and update his younger brother of the friars’ abuses in the Philippines through letters. He also supported the Katipunan and later on became one of the generals of its Revolutionary Army.

1.) If I were to choose among them, I think the most influential person that molded Jose Rizal especially during his childhood was his mother, Teodora Alonzo. I believe in the saying that our parents are our first teachers, and it is the same in Rizal's case. His mother was responsible in teaching him and opening his eyes with the world around him and as well as the issues during that time. Teodora Alonzo also helped Rizal in finding the love for writings and poetries that made him famous during his time as of his remarkable works. She also taught him the value of every second in his life and how he should manage his time wisely, this then made Rizal create a meaningful life of his own. By this, Rizal did not waste any single moment in his life which made him inspire a lot of people around him that despite of the many schedules, he never missed any of it. His mother also taught him about obedience and generosity. Rizal valued and loved his mother very much. 2.) Yes. Barbastro (A01)
1. Of all the choices given, I think, the most influential in molding Dr. Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child is his mother, his first teacher, Dona Teodora Alonzo. From previous discussions, it was stated that Jose Rizal inherited some of his mother’s qualities, which I think also molded Rizal’s morals, values, and stand in life. With this thought in mind, his mother certainly made an impact during his childhood days. He also literally lived his favorite story which his mother told him during his childhood, which was the story of the moth. We can conclude from all of these that Teodora Alonzo made a huge impact in his life, especially during his childhood which also reflected his choices and actions during his adulthood. We can also learn from this that a child’s upbringing can affect their values and morals. It is important to educate them early on. 2. Yes. Santos (A07)
1. Teodora Alonso, Rizal's mother, had the greatest influence on his perspective and ideas. She was the one who first opened his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all of its soul and poetry as well as its intolerance and injustice. Rizal proved to be his mother's son, a chip off the old block, throughout his young life, as he continually strived to preserve trust in the lessons she taught him. His mother was his first teacher, and it was from her that he learned to read and, as a result, to appreciate reading as a means of learning and productively spending one's time. He quickly learned to respect time as life's most valuable gift, as she encouraged him to never waste a single second of it. 2. Yes Agraviador (A07)
1). Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonso, was extremely influential in shaping his perspective and views during his early years. The highly educated Teodora Alonso had a significant impact on her son's education and upbringing. She was renowned for being stern and orderly, and she instilled in her kids a strong sense of moral principles and patriotism. Jose Rizal was influenced by Teodora Alonso in part because she instilled in him the value of knowledge and reading. In his memoirs, Rizal himself relates how his mother used to read to him and tell him stories. She would also spend money on books for him, even at the expense of their own requirements. In his autobiography, Rizal stated, "All that I am, I owe to my mother, who taught me to read when I was only three years old." Teodora Alonso was a nationalist and an advocate for Philippine independence, in addition. She frequently told her kids tales of Filipino heroes and their battles with Spanish colonialism. As may be seen in his own works as an adult, Rizal was profoundly impacted by his mother's passion for the Philippines and her longing for freedom. In his books "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo," for instance, Rizal showed the harsh reality of colonial life and the necessity for reform in the Philippines. In conclusion, Teodora Alonso had a big impact on Jose Rizal's education and sense of national pride. She cultivated in him a strong sense of discipline, moral principles, and patriotism that would influence his beliefs and worldview as an adult. 2). When Jose Rizal was a young boy, his older brother Paciano had a significant impact on his viewpoint and views. Paciano, the family's eldest member, served as an example for his younger siblings, especially Jose. Paciano's fervent belief in the value of education is one instance of how his thoughts influenced Jose's. The educated Paciano urged his younger brother to acquire a decent education in order to succeed and advance in society. Jose learned from him about the social injustices and inequalities he had seen in their society, and this had a significant influence on the younger Rizal's perspective on the world. Jose's beliefs were greatly influenced by Paciano's engagement in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial control. Jose became increasingly interested in political and social concerns after Paciano, a member of the revolutionary movement, planted seeds of revolution on to Rizal after Paciano witnessed the execution of the Gomburza, which was a common discussion between the brothers. This led to Jose developing his own revolutionary beliefs and writings. Jose's opinions on colonialism and oppression were also heavily influenced by Paciano's interactions with Spanish officials and his eventual imprisonment for his participation in the revolutionary struggle. In fact, Jose was profoundly impacted by Paciano's imprisonment, which may have even served as inspiration for him to pen "Noli Me Tangere," his most well-known composition. Overall, Paciano Rizal had a big impact on his younger brother's beliefs and viewpoints. Jose would be inspired by him to become a key player in the Philippine Revolution and a significant literary voice for Filipino nationalism because of his emphasis on education, social justice, and patriotism. 3).

1) We all know that our parents will be the ones who will be there beside us as we grow. They will be the primary source or our basis of how life should be. Our family will be the first people who influences us on how we will go on with our lives, especially our parents. Now, Teodora Alonzo was Dr. Jose Rizal's mother, so it is natural that Rizal's perspective will be molded and influenced by his mother. It was also mentioned that Rizal's first ever teacher was his mother. Since, Teodora Alonzo was known as someone who is disciplinarian and hardworking. I believe that he taught Rizal not only what you need to learn from school or to expand your knowledge. I believe, Teodora Alonzo also taught Rizal some principles of life. These teachings and guidance from her mother, Teodora Alonzo molded Dr. Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas as he grows. 2) I have mentioned that families are the first ones who will we look up to as a child. Since Paciano Rizal was his elder brother, I believe that there are times that he is amazed and wants to be like his brother someday. Paciano Rizal was active in the revolution even his family that is why I believe that Rizal's perspective was also affected on how his brother's life went on. Rizal might have learned from his brother, Paciano Rizal some things about how our nation was being treated unequally and how is the world going on. These things might have been an eye-opening for Rizal on what he needs to do as he grows up. Those things influenced Rizal which he learned from his brother and molded Rizal to be a man of Revolution also just like his brother. Rizal was also the one who is responsible to make a great start of the revolution. 3) YES Lachica, A18
1) Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal's mother, was influential in shaping his perspective and ideas during his formative years. She instilled in Rizal a strong sense of moral values, a deep love for education, and a firm belief in the power of knowledge to bring about positive change as a highly educated and devoutly religious woman. Teodora Alonzo's encouragement of Rizal's intellectual pursuits and emphasis on the importance of education are two examples of her influence on Rizal's perspective. Teodora recognized Rizal's intellectual potential at a young age and provided him with the resources and support he needed to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. She enrolled him in prestigious schools and made certain he received a well-rounded education. Also, Teodora Alonzo's personal experiences as a victim of injustice influenced Rizal's viewpoint on social inequality and his desire to fight for justice. Rizal's mother was wrongfully accused of poisoning her sister-in-law when he was only eight years old. She spent nearly three years in prison before being acquitted. This traumatic event deeply affected Rizal and brought to light the flaws in the Spanish colonial system, inspiring his later advocacy for reforms and social justice. 2) Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother, was instrumental in shaping his younger sibling's perspective and ideas during his formative years. Paciano's influence on Jose Rizal was instrumental in shaping his character, instilling a strong sense of national identity in him, and in fostering his love for his country. Paciano became a source of inspiration and mentorship for his younger brother through his own experiences and guidance. Paciano's fervent dedication to fighting for the rights and welfare of the Filipino people was a key aspect of his influence on Jose Rizal. Paciano was an active member of anti-colonial movements and organizations, exposing Rizal to nationalist sentiments and ideas at a young age. He shared his knowledge and experiences with Rizal, instilling a sense of national pride in him and reawakening his desire for justice and independence. Paciano's unwavering dedication to the cause of liberty had a significant impact on Rizal's later writings and actions as a national hero. Paciano was also important to Rizal as a moral guide. As the older brother, he was in charge of instilling moral values and providing guidance. Paciano's exemplary character and firm principles had a long-lasting influence on Rizal, shaping his worldview and influencing his actions. 3) YES Montemayor, B43
1. Teodora Alonzo Rizal's mother was his first teacher. Dr. Jose Rizal Learned how to read and write before the age of five which is outstanding to me, his mother should be a great educator if he made Dr. Jose Rizal learn to read and write before the age of five, or it could be Dr. Jose Rizal was just gifted or a combination of both. Teodora Alonzo also told the story of The Moth which is the most popular story that was also taught to us during our elementary days. For me the story with lessons like this that Teodora Alonzo taught helped shaped Dr. Jose Rizal's critical thinking and perception and is also one of the reasons he is destined for future recognition. 2.) Paciano Rizal, (Dr. Jose Rizal's older brother) was a patriot from the very start. His older brother was an eyewitness when the GOMBURZA was executed. I learned that Paciano Rizal told his younger brother, Dr. Jose Rizal of what he had seen, and for me, it is one of the reasons why Doctor Jose Rizal had grown so patriotic and growing up and learning he did not forget to include his desire for change and use it as an inspiration to study harder, travel the world and learn and at the end he used his learning and expertise to help the Filipinos to become aware of the Spanish abuse. 3.YES
Teodora Alonso, Rizal's mother, was the person who had the biggest impact on his development as a person. She was the one who first opened his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all of its soul and poetry as well as its intolerance and injustice. Rizal proved to be his mother's son, a chip off the old block, throughout his young life, as he continually strived to preserve trust in the lessons she taught him. His mother was his first teacher, and it was from her that he learned to read and, as a result, to appreciate reading as a means of learning and productively spending one's time. It didn't take long for him to realize that time is the most valuable gift that life has to offer, because she taught him to never waste it.He learned the importance of self-improvement from his mother, and as a result, when he grew older, he worked hard to understand the logic of mathematics, write poems, draw and sculpt, and paint.That is why his mother was the biggest influence to him.

1). In my perspective, the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child was his mother, Teodora Alonzo. She was his first teacher who taught and put a lot of good morals and values when he was a child. During Rizal’s time, mothers were the ones who were mostly at home with their children, doing household chores and looking after their children. I believe that Rizal looks up to her mother admiring her personality as a loving mother and her devotion to raising and teaching them. He also took medicine to cure his mother’s cataract, and it only shows how much he loved his mother. The core value was vital as it will last longer than the new ones obtained, and Teodora being the first teacher and mother of Dr. Jose Rizal, can justify that she is indeed the most influential among the rest. 2). Yes. (SARMIENTO, A07)
1. The most influential person in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child is his mother, Teodora Alonzo. As Jose Rizal’s first teacher, the foundation of what he knows and how he thinks is from his mother. Jose Rizal was raised by his mother in a manner that he was aware of the social issues of the Philippines as early as possible. His eyes were not closed by his mother but rather opened widely in order to see not just the tree but the whole forest. The opening of his eyes helped mold Jose Rizal’s perspective toward the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. The teachings of his mother shaped Jose Rizal’s mind and heart to fight for his country and countrymen. Contrastingly, the gamo-gamo story taught by his mother which is similar to the story of Icarus the boy who flew too close to the sun was not yet understood by young Jose Rizal. Little did he know that he will suffer the same fate as the gamo-gamo in the story. 2. Yes TORRES (A01)
1. Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal's mother, was the most significant in shaping his perspective and views as a child. We studied that Jose Rizal's mother was his first educator during the Jose Rizal lecture. Rizal's early schooling resembled "a jar that formerly carried the stench of the body that it now retains. The necessity of education, which must begin at a young age, has been demonstrated by Rizal's wisdom. His mother's education gave him the discipline of listening, reading, and learning at home, and he learned the fundamentals of artistic admiration, empathy, and respect for nature. Rizal acquired his intelligence from his mother, Dona Teodora Alonzo Realonda, who supplied all of Rizal's academic support and helped him polish his genuine role in education. She elevated him toward the highest level of combatant in the sphere of human intellectual conflict at the moment. Rizal's delicate love and humanity, tempered by his brilliance, were converted into literature and philosophy triumphs that would later define the fate of the Filipino country. Rizal's poetical talent, which was connected to his mother's education, became a powerful tool for stimulating his creative literary development in poems and theater. He learned how to read the Bible at a young age and he started writing poems at a young age. 2. Yes DEL MUNDO, A06
I believe that Teodora Alonzo, Rizal's mother is the most influential in Jose Rizal's life. She had a major impact on Rizal's growth as his first instructor and was his incentive for pursuing medicine. Rizal's first teacher was Teodora Alonzo, she was the one who inspired him to fight for his principles and never give up. She also opened his eyes and heart to the world around him. His mother taught in him the value of hard-earned money, as well as the importance of becoming economical and limiting oneself, and saving a portion of one's wages as a hedge against life's whims. Rizal wouldn't be Rizal without the influence of his mother. Every mother wants the best for their children and will give up so much to see that they get it. However, A mother's only dream is for their children to grow up to have a healthy, happy, and successful life. Datay (A06)
1. Teodora Alonzo had a great impact on Rizal’s life. She taught conduct, equality, and love to them. Most importantly, she instilled in her kids the value of treating Indios with respect. Later in life, Rizal would use these abilities and his sense of justice to defend his mother, who he loved dearly. She also imparted many valuable life lessons to Rizal, including obedience, self-improvement, kindness, and the worth of money acquired through labor. His eyes and emotions were first opened to the outside world by her. His mother served as his first instructor, teaching him how to read and, as a result, how to value reading as a means of education and meaningful leisure. He was inspired by her to write poetry. She is also responsible for Rizal's accomplishments and his motivation to pursue a career in medicine. She was also the reason behind Rizal’s way of dealing a war in a peaceful way. 2. Jose Rizal's life was significantly influenced by his brother, Paciano Rizal. He was always with Jose when he was a child. Additionally, he accompanied the young Rizal while he took the College of San Juan de Letran admission examination.He kept his younger brother informed of the excesses committed by the Spaniards through letters and would frequently send money to Spain which led him to create a novel entitled “El Filibusterismo” when he grows up and that’s when he was being aware about the situation that is happening in our country. Paciano helped Jose on his path to greatness and partnered with him to achieve it. He may have had the greatest impact on Jose's life. It's unclear that Rizal would have progressed as far as he did without Paciano's support. It cannot be overstated how deeply they care for one another. He was a great guardian and hero for Jose. 3. Yes
1.) I think that the most influential person to Jose Rizal is his mother Teodora Alonzo. When Jose was young or starting to learn his first teacher is his mother which taught Jose a lot of things that sparked inspiration to his future. Jose learned how to read and write, value of reading during hard times, improving oneself, mathematics, write poems, draw, sculpt, paint, and the value of hard earned money. Teodora Alonzo taught Jose basics of subjects and the way of life, by doing so it helped Jose get through a lot of things that the other family members could not. The story of the moth was one of the stories that was told to Jose which also happened to be the future that Jose will face. In conclusion the perspective that Teodora gave to Jose gave so many meanings and enjoyable things to do in life while helping other through self sacrifice. 2.) Yes Cajucom (A07)
1.) In my opinion, among the following people the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was his mother Teodora Alonzo, as we all know she was Rizal's first teacher and the one who develop him as a person. She is the one who taught Jose Rizal from the beginning like how she taught him to write, read and value reading as a means of learning and spending his time meaningfully and as far as I remember in my previous subjects about Rizal's life his mother was also the one who taught him improving oneself, comprehend the logic of mathematics, draw, sculpt, paint and especially write poem. So I think the one who influence most Jose Rizal was his mother, the one who mold him from the beginning to be a wonder child although the other said people also help him and inspires him in some different way like Napoleon Bonaparte the one Rizal idolize when he was young. 2.) YES NARVAEZ, A06
MACANDOG, A07 1.) All of them had a greatest influence on Jose Rizal's life. But no one can beat the mother's love. Teodora Alonzo is the most influential in molding Jose Rizal. She is the mother of Jose Rizal and her first teacher. She taught Jose Rizal to read and write also she opened the eyes of Rizal also his heart around him. Jose Rizal also learned the primacy of improving oneself. Not only that but Teodora Alonzo also taught him about valuing hard earned money. Dr. Jose Rizal loves her mother so much above all of that he also learned about obedience from his mother. He learned it because of the story of the moth which is his favorite story before who told by his mother where he learned many things. All though their were many people who influenced Jose Rizal growing up but no one can compare the way how her mother teach him and understand the things around him. 2.) Yes
Quicay (A01) 1.) All of the choices play a role in how the perspective and ideas of Jose Rizal were developed. The knowledge and virtue that Jose Rizal inherited from the people who molded his childhood had a great significance on how he became a hero. I think Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal's mother, was the most influential person in molding his perspective and ideas. Her mother was his first teacher. She used literature to open Jose Rizal's eyes and heart. She was also the inspiration why Jose Rizal love writing literature. Teodora Alonzo embedded discipline, equality, and justice in Jose Rizal. He valued all of her mother's teachings and integrate them into his life. In line with this, Jose Rizal even applied it through works. Even though Teodora Alonzo had become blind, Jose Rizal studied hard and became an ophthalmologist for his love for his mother. It shows how significant Teodora Alonzo is in Jose Rizal's life. 2.) Yes.
As Rizal's mother and first teacher, I think that Teodora Alonzo was probably the most influential in molding Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child. Alongside academics, she most likely taught him lessons on morals and humanity, thus influencing Rizal's character as a child. It's not uncommon that our parents' beliefs and character influence ours especially in our younger years before we branch out and meet other people whose ideas inspire us. As a child our minds are like a blank slate ready to be filled with knowledge and ideas, and therefore the people who raise us normally have the most opportunity to influence our minds. Rizal's mother possibly inspired him as she spent time schooling him at home, teaching him things that she believes he needs to know. Yes, I watched the whole video. Villena - A07
1. The most influential in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas among the following was ‘A. Teodora Alonzo’ because of the following reasons; first, Teodora Alonzo was his mother and also his first teacher. She brought her ideals and ways to Rizal and thus, he was able to learn how to read and write before the age of 5 which is quite impressive as I don’t recall myself being able to understand such things or have the ability to comprehend letters at that age. Second, Teodora Alonzo was also fond to poetry and as a mother and a teacher she brought poetry to Rizal which we can say made a very big part to how Rizal became a writer and our hero as his writings focused on meaning with the use of poetry. Not only that she made him love poetry, she also gave Jose Rizal traits that in which are a factor in being a hero, Rizal became a dreamer - a person who dreams for the future, he also became a person capable to self-sacrifice which is displayed for his death for the country. Lastly, your personality and perspective taught to you are always aligned in your early age, yes it may be changed especially when your ideals will contradict one another in the future but it will always be in your mind to consider or to thought. And fortunately, her mother’s ideals and even his surroundings gave him a positive mindset which accumulates to his resume as a hero. 2. Yes. MEDALLA, A06
1.) The most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was his mother, Teodora Alonzo. With his soul and poetry, she assisted him in comprehending the world. As we know, Doña Teodora was his first teacher and inspired him to fight for his principles and never give up. She instilled in Rizal the value of money from hard work, the importance of being frugal and denying oneself, and keeping a portion of one's wages since life is unpredictable. Thus, despite growing up in luxury and affluence, he learned to save and scrimp. The wrongful arrest of his mother on the suspicion of conspiring to poison a relative, despite the lack of evidence against her, was one of the turning events in his life, which had a tremendous influence on his eventual decision to become a political activist. But what made the arrest even more humiliating was the treatment she received from the police, who forced her to walk from Calamba to the provincial jail in Santa Cruz. She was imprisoned there for two years before being released. All of this she handled with calm and quiet dignity, which Rizal, then a young boy, would recall and imitate in his final moments, right before a firing squad extinguished his important existence. 2.) Yes, I have watched the entire video. -CERES, A01
1. In my own opinion, Jose Rizal’s mother, Teodora Alonzo, was the most influential in molding his perspective and ideas when he was a child. His mother was his first teacher who exposed him to the realm of literature, he also learned how to read and observe the other side of life that is not seen with the eyes. Rizal learned from his mother pragmatism, self-control, self-sacrifice, and a passion for poetry. She educates him on values that will help him become a good person and flourish in life. She also fostered in her children, especially Rizal, a love of spirituality and ethics by encouraging them to read the Bible. Rizal's first educator was Dona Teodora, who taught him the fundamentals of writing and reading. When he was young, he was educated a plethora of great lessons, including the importance of time. As an outcome, while he studied abroad, he was always on time for his classes, resulting in an amazing academic achievement. Rizal learned to be generous and submissive from his mother as well. His mother also taught him about the injustices inflicted on us by the Spaniards, which fueled his desire to dedicate his life to granting us Filipinos the freedom we deserve. 2. Yes - Sebastian (A07)
1. In my opinion, Jose Rizal’s mother, Teodora Alonzo, was the most influential person that helps shape Rizal’s ideas and perspective. When Rizal was still a child, his mother was accused with a charge of scheming to poison a relative resulting in an unjust arrest even though there was a lack of proof against her. This scene made a huge contribution to Rizal’s perspective on how unfair the system is and influence his becoming of a political activist later in life. Additionally, the authorities made Teodora walk 50 kilometers far from Calamba to Santa Cruz. Although it was humiliating, his mother took it all with calmness and dignity which will be remembered and replicated by Rizal through his death in 1896. Teodora also taught a lot of things to young Rizal as she was his first teacher. His passion for reading, writing, the importance of improving oneself, the value of working, saving up, managing his financials, etc., made him an outstanding person and a man full of ideas and knowledge. 2. Yes. HERNANDEZ, A07
1. If I were to base my answer from the lecture video, I would say that the most influential in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was still a little boy was his very own mother, Teodora Alonzo. First and foremost, Donya Teodora was practically Rizal’s first ever teacher. She began to teach him how to read and write even before he was five years old. At the same time, I believe that she was also able to successfully instill her knowledge and principles upon her young son. Like most mothers, Donya Teodora also read or told Pepe different stories. Without a doubt, her stories have some important lessons, which would further help in terms of nourishing his perspectives and ideas. Furthermore, she is the one who introduced the wonders of literature to Rizal. Soon after, Rizal has come to love writing and became a wonderful poet. Of course, Rizal also have other figures whom he has also learned from. However, I truly believe that when he was still a child the most influential figure that taught him was his mother. Donya Teodora’s teachings became one of the factors that helped shape the person that he has become. 2. Yes. (Llames, A01)
Maceren (A01) For me, the most influential person for Rizal to mold his ideas and perspective was his own mother, Teodora Alonzo. Teodora Alonzo was his very first teacher, due to her valuable lessons that she taught to Rizal, Rizal has opened his eyes to the reality of the country he was born in. Teodora was a good mother and a good teacher, she did not waste a single moment to teach Rizal every value and ethics that a person should have. When she sent Rizal to a school in Binan under maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz, Rizal did not forget the important basic lessons that he learned from his mother. Rizal knew the idea of being disciplined, obedient, good-mannered, etc. by which it helped Rizal excel in his subjects, especially Spanish writing and speaking. Even as he went abroad to study more, he eventually became a doctor so that he could heal his mother's eyes, as a way of repaying the lessons and kindness he has learned from his own mother. Teodora was initially the one who molded Rizal to become a great person until the present of which whom we know of. Yes I have watched the entire video lecture.
1.Jose Rizal's mother had a big impact on his upbringing and the way he became a writer and thinker. She instilled in him virtues like bravery, independence, and a strong sense of justice that would later influence his viewpoints and thoughts. Teodora made sure that her children received the best education possible. She encouraged Rizal to study hard and to learn not just from his textbooks, but from the world around him. Rizal was influenced by her mother Teodora Alonzo because she insisted on teaching him Tagalog and fostering a passion for his home tongue in him. Teodora Alonzo saw the value of conserving and advancing the Filipino language and culture at an era when Spanish was the language of the educated and the government. She thought her kid would be better able to comprehend and respect various cultures if he was familiar with and proud of his own culture. 2.With a strong sense of justice and love for his country, Paciano was a patriot and reformist who taught similar ideas in his younger brother. Due to Paciano's exposure to the injustices and mistreatment endured by the Filipino people during Spanish colonial authority, Rizal was influenced by it. Paciano participated in a number of nationalist and reformist activities he discussed his observations and learnings with his younger brother. Rizal gained knowledge of the oppressive conditions of colonial rule, the exploitation of the farmers, and the fight for Filipino independence from Paciano. Paciano Rizal played a significant role in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas during his childhood. Through his exposure to his brother's nationalist and reformist ideals, Rizal developed a sense of justice and a love for his country, which would later inspire his nationalist writings and activism. Influence on Rizal's moral and ethical values also helped shape him. 3.YES ESCALADA, A18
1. Jose Rizal's mother and first teacher, Teodora Alonzo, had a significant impact on his growth and thinking as a young child. She was a disciplinarian and a strong-willed woman who instilled in Rizal a love for literature, self-sacrifice, and a sense of loyalty to his country. The tale of the moth and the lamp is one instance of Teodora Alonzo's influence on Rizal. In spite of getting burned, a moth that attracted Rizal as a boy kept attempting to reach a lamp. Teodora Alonzo used this situation to impart to Rizal a lesson on the value of perseverance and the risks of recklessly pursuing one's desires. Like the moth, people should pursue their goals, but they should also be cautious and deliberate in their actions as she explained. Rizal's outlook on life and his reaction to this tale was profoundly affected. He learned the value of introspection and critical thought, which he eventually applied to his political and social beliefs. Later on, this tale became a revelation and an omen of Pepe's fate. 2. Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother, was an outspoken nationalist and revolutionary who significantly influenced Rizal's political and social beliefs. He played a significant role in getting Rizal accepted into prestigious institutions and urging him to seek a career in medicine so that he could help his fellow Filipinos. The tale of the pebble and the stream is an additional instance of Paciano's influence on Rizal. When Pepe was a little child, he questioned Paciano as to why the river's water was constantly flowing. The stones and pebbles in the riverbed, Paciano said, caused obstructions that the water had to go around. He told Pepe that by speaking up against social injustices, people could make a difference in the same way. Jose was motivated by this to pursue writing as a career and utilize words as a tool for change rather than using force or other coercive tactics. Through his teachings and influence, Paciano gave Rizal a sense of social duty, a dedication to nonviolent reform, and a passionate love for his homeland. 3. YES (BENJAMIN, A18)
1. I think Teodora Alonzo, and Dona Teodora had a big influence on Jose when he was younger. His mother because he taught a lot of things to Rizal’s and it really didn’t take long for someone like him Rizal to realize to value time as life’s most valuable gift, her mother did really educate him and Rizal carry all the things that he learned from her mother. She greatly helped him in understanding the world through his inner self and poems. Teodora was Rizal's first teacher, and she inspired him to fight for his aspirations and never give up. His mother also did teach him to value hard-earned money and, more importantly. Despite growing up in comfort and wealth, he learned to scrimp and save. She was the one who first opened his eyes and heart to the world around him. He learned the importance of self-improvement from his mother, so as he grew older, he worked hard to understand the reasoning of mathematics and write novels. She embedded in them the values of discipline, equality, and kindness. Most importantly, she instilled in her children the importance of treating Indios as equals. Later in life, Rizal would use these skills and his sense of justice to fight for his mother, whom he adored. 2. YES SAOIT A01
1.) In my opinion, the most influential individual in molding the perspective and ideas in the life of Jose Rizal when he was still a child is her mother, Teodora Alonzo. Moreover, Jose Rizal’s mother became his first teacher, where he learned how to read and write before the age of five. Besides, his mother taught him how to appreciate the knowledge and achievements of a person by spending one’s time efficiently and meaningfully. Furthermore, his mother molded his perspective and ideas in life when he was a child by creating awareness and opening his eyes and heart to treasure the beauty of our country and the world around him. Also, his mother taught him some literary works to express his feelings and ideas about the bigotry and injustice of the government that his mother and fellow Filipino experienced. As a result, the knowledge that he learned from his mother became his stepping stone to becoming our national hero. 2.) Yes - Lafiguera (A07)
1) Teodora Alonzo encouraged Rizal's love of reading, which is a prime example of how she influenced him as a child. She gave him early instruction in reading and writing as well as a love of books and education. Later, in his memoirs, Rizal recalled how his mother would read to him tales of heroes and legends, which inspired him and encouraged his need for knowledge. Rizal also acquired a strong sense of social responsibility and justice from Teodora Alonzo. She participated actively in charitable work and social concerns, including promoting women's rights and giving the needy access to healthcare. The dedication to these concerns and his mother's unshakable commitment to social justice can be seen in Rizal's subsequent writings and activities. Teodora Alonzo fostered Rizal's love of learning, sparked his imagination, and instilled in him a strong sense of social responsibility and justice, all of which significantly shaped Rizal's perspective and views during his formative years. 2) Paciano supported Jose's education and intellectual growth by giving him access to books and other materials that, at the time, were not widely available to most Filipino children. Jose gained a profound love of learning and a thirst for information as a result of this exposure, which would later drive him to become a writer, scientist, and scholar. Paciano's own participation in the Philippine independence struggle was one of the biggest impressions he had on Jose. Paciano belonged to the Propaganda Movement, a group of intellectuals from the Philippines who worked to spread the word about the difficulties the Philippines faced under Spanish colonial rule and to promote reforms. Jose was exposed to the concepts of nationalism, democracy, and social justice because to Paciano's involvement in this movement; these concepts would later become major topics in Jose's writing and activism. Jose Rizal's early development was greatly influenced by Paciano Rizal, who exposed him to critical concepts and viewpoints that would later inform his advocacy. 3) Yes Mendoza, A18
1. In my opinion, his mother, Teodora Alonzo, was the most influential person who molded Dr. Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas. His father, his siblings, his former teachers, and even Napoleon Bonaparte undoubtedly helped him shape his character, but the person who had the greatest influence was Teodora Alonzo. First of all, she was his very first teacher. She taught him so many things that a child could learn from his or her parents. One of these things is the fundamentals of moral values and their importance for being a good person. A child relies so much upon their parents to make sure they are safe and their needs are being fulfilled. Dr. Jose Rizal’s mother made sure that he will grow as a good person by nurturing him and caring for him when he needed him the most. At a very young age, Teodora Alonzo taught him life lessons by telling little Jose Rizal some fun stories. In return, Dr. Jose Rizal carried the life lessons from these stories until he aged. Teodora Alonzo’s love and support for Dr. Jose Rizal made him the person he was. He was able to create meaningful relationships with people around him because of the values he learned from his family, especially from his mother. From my perspective, there are a lot of factors that helped Dr. Jose Rizal in molding his ideas and aspirations. It could be from his culture, customs, or even family traditions. However, I could say that the construction of his principles was molded the greatest by his mother based on the lessons presented in current and previous video lectures. 2. Yes Submitted by: Collado (A01)
1. Teodora Alonso was the one to teach Jose Rizal basic skills such as reading and writing. However, she also taught him justice, the importance of self-improvement, obedience, art, and literature later on. Because he could learn the basic skills at an early age, he could already write good poems to the point that other people couldn't believe that he was the one to write them. Having the ability to read and write, opens up Rizal to new ideas and information around him. He can absorb lessons through paper already which allows him to learn anything without limit. This is important because without the guidance of Teodora Alonzo, Rizal's perspective in life could have gone in the wrong direction. Alonso's guidance includes her teachings to her children such as discipline, art, literature, self-improvement, justice, and compassion. All of these became the roots of Rizal's view of the world when he was still a child. 2. Paciano Rizal's influence to little Jose is more about him being a big "kuya" to Rizal. He served as the guardian to Jose Rizal when he was still a little child. Paciano is older than Jose, therefore he has more experience in life. He also had a connection to Fr. Burgos who was his teacher, who was then falsely accused and sentenced to death and Paciano was there to witness it. All of those experiences and life learnings of Paciano, were taught to Jose for his sake. Jose's "kuya" took care of him and part of it was he chose Jose's tutors. Paciano was the National Hero's hero, guardian, mentor, and brother. It is hard to think that Rizal would be able to reach his success without the help of his older brother. Paciano served as a bridge to Jose Rizal and greater education. Rizal was able to access tutors and information because of the company of his older brother. 3. YES Rivera (A18)
1. Teodora Alonzo was the mother of Jose Rizal; she is a disciplinarian and the first teacher of Jose Rizal. Most of us are molded and influenced by our parents since we look up on them. The schooling of Rizal from was guided heavily by his mother putting him with a tutor in Binan Laguna. Jose Rizal’s success was not only because of his passion, determination, and perseverance. His mother and his family members played a vital role in shaping Rizal’s attitude and mindset to become the Rizal we all know. However there is no wonder that Jose Rizal was a gifted child, he wrote amazing poems that adults such as his priest-uncle Fr. Leoncio wouldn’t believe that a little boy could write a poems that good. Teodora Alonzo was a great mother who raised a great man. Rizal was even influenced by her mother to take up medicine to cure her mother’s cataract, with that we can see how Rizal was deeply connected and influenced by her mother. 2. Jose Rizal only had one brother, Paciano. He backs up Jose Rizal with his propagandas and ideas, he also acted as Jose Rizal’s guardian in school. Paciano chose the tutor of the national hero when he was young. When Jose Rizal was in Spain, Paciano updates his brother with what is happening in the Philippines, additionally He would also send money to Rizal. When they grew up Paciano and Rizal remained good, Paciano supported Rizal and the Katipunan making him one of the generals during the revolution. Having family members who supports and believes in you is a blessing, it makes your success easier and fulfilling knowing that they got your back. Jose Rizal won’t be the great man we know today if there is no help given by his family members. Jose Rizal’s lifes and works was truly inspirational to us and thankfully this course teaches us who is behind Rizal’s successful life as a hero in our country. 3. YES Balagtas (B43)
1. In my perspective, Teodora Alonzo is the most influential person in molding Dr. Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas since she is his first teacher and his mother. Children are easily influenced by the things they see and hear in their environment. In Dr. Jose Rizal's childhood, his mother was the one he had seen the most. Thus, her characteristics such as her practical temperament, stoicism, self-sacrifice, justice, and temperament of a dreamer which was inherited by Dr. Jose Rizal. Moreover, his mother taught him how to write a poem, which she helped him explore the things around him, and she taught him to be motivated, and expressive about something (through poetry). Learning poetry helps a person to be more curious about his or her surrounding and be open about his or her environment. Hence, because of his mother, Dr. Rizal's eyes and heart were open to the world he lived in. 2. Yes. Buenconsejo, A01
1.) Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonzo, had a big influence on how he developed his points of view and regards as a young boy. She was an extremely clever and well-educated woman who taught Rizal the importance of working hard, loving to study, and caring for the well-being of his Kababayan. Teodora Alonzo's insistence on the value of education is one instance of how she influenced Rizal. She ensured that her kids, especially Rizal, got a good education despite the little chances available to women at the time in the Philippines. To make sure they were given access to a high-quality education, she even established a school inside their house. Teodora Alonzo showed to Rizal the value of independence, self-reliance, and critical thinking. She drove him to challenge the current status order and think independently, which impacted his later perspectives on political and social issues. Throughout his life, Rizal frequently credited his mother's morals and teachings as an ongoing source of motivation and guidance. 2.) During his formative years, Jose Rizal's older brother Paciano Rizal, who was crucial in shaping his perspective and beliefs. As a significant person in Rizal's life, Paciano acted as his confidante, teacher, and inspiration. In Rizal's writings and chronicles of his life, his impact on his childhood and growth is extensively noted. Paciano's intense feeling of nationalism and patriotism was one of the methods by which he inspired Rizal's view point and thoughts. Rizal was instilled with a feeling of Filipino ancestral pride and a determination to fight for their country's sovereignty and independence by Paciano, who was fervently concerned about the situation for the Filipino people during Spanish colonial authority. Rizal was motivated to take up the cause of his nation's rights and welfare by Paciano's unbreakable dedication to the idea of Philippine independence. Paciano was Rizal's guardian and counselor as well. Despite criticism from the community and their relatives, he urged Rizal to continue his study and supported his goals. He gave Rizal direction, counsel, and emotional support, particularly during trying moments. Paciano's influence influenced Rizal's willingness to face challenges head-on and achieve his objectives with tenacity and perseverance. 3.) Yes (DORINGO, A18)
1) There is a quote by Malcom X that says, “The mother is the first teacher of the child. The message she gives that child, that child gives to the world.” This is why I believe that Teodora Alonzo, the mother of Rizal, was the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child. The mother of Rizal was his first teacher. He was able to learn and read at an early age of 5 because of his mother. Teodora Alonzo was the one who instilled in Rizal the values of self-sacrifice, stoicism, discipline, and poetry appreciation. Rizal was able to be moral and good in his works because of the principles and ideals that Teodora Alonzo instilled in him. She was hands-on in parenting and teaching Rizal and his siblings. This is evident in Rizal’s favorite story, The story of the Moth, because this story was told to Rizal by Teodora Alonzo when he was young. Teodora Alonzo may not be the most knowledgeable teacher but she was the best teacher of Rizal because she is his mother. 2) Yes, I watched the video lecture. Abdon (A01)
1) Teodora Alonzo was Rizal’s first teacher. He was able to read and write before the age of 5. Without Rizal’s mother’s discipline and lessons to him, he would not be able to have the love for this country, as his mother taught him that he should treat everyone equally, no matter what their status are, they should be treated nicely. As Teodora Alonzo tells the story of the Moth, Rizal was already impressed by the story and looked up to it about sacrificing and being a martyr. Rizal’s mother became an instrument for Rizal to mold his perspective about how important education is, how we should give the justice to those who were treated unjust, how to give importance to hard-earned money and what does the real world have, all the challenges, pain, cruelty, unjust treatments, harshness and sadness. Teodora Alonzo was really the first one to influence Rizal and an eye opener to him, from practicality, intelligence and justice, it is his mother, who was able to engrave it to Rizal’s personality and bring it even while he was studying abroad. 2) As education was taught to Alonzo-Rizal children, Paciano was able to also influence Rizal by also carrying the love for this country. He was able to send money to Rizal when he was still studying in Spain so Rizal will be able to continue his studies abroad. Paciano Rizal was also the instrument for Rizal to know about how the friars were abusing the Filipinos within their own country. By writing letters to Rizal, Rizal was able to know and keep him updated to whatever is happening to the Philippines during the time that he was studying abroad. Paciano Rizal was also having a heart for this country to be freed from the conquerors as their mother influenced them about justice. When Rizal was still studying in Spain, through the letters from his older brother Paciano, he was influenced and inspired that the Philippines should have its independence, it is their right to lead their own country. Through the letters, Paciano is proving that he has the courage to fight for this country, as it is its right to feel safe and valued in their own territory. 3) YES (WALO, A18)
1. We all know that parents have a huge influence in molding ourselves, especially our mother who gave birth to us. Teodora Alonzo had a huge influence in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child and the first thing that influence Rizal is his mother’s attitude, we all know that from the previous lessons he inherits her fondness in poetry, temperament of a dreamer, self-sacrifice, and stoicism. She is also the one who teaches him how to read and write because she is his first teacher. Lastly is when his mother told him the story of the moth or gamo-gamo. We know that in this story the little moth didn’t listen to her mother when the mother said that don’t go near the fire because it is dangerous. That also reflects on Rizal when he tried to go near the fire, the fire is the reflection of the enemy or the Spaniards but still he doesn’t listen to her mother, so he died. 2. His big brother has a huge influence in his perspective and his ideas because Paciano became his role model. When Rizal was still a child Paciano was a member of a propaganda movement and I think it inspired Rizal to fight against the Spaniards. His brother also tells him what happened to the GOMBURZA, in his young age he already knew about the inequality in his country, just because they are an Indio, they don’t have the right to fight the decision of the Spaniards. Paciano always tells him about what is happening in his propaganda movement and what is happening in his fellow reformists, I think this also triggers Jose Rizal to go against the Spaniards. Paciano is a nationalist, revolutionary and advocate of equal rights, this attitude can also be seen in Jose Rizal, that is why I can say that he has a big influence in molding Jose Rizal. 3. Yes (Zaguirre, A18)
1.) I think that Teodora Alonzo, Rizal’s mother, had the most influence in molding his perspective and ideas when he was a child. Aside from teaching Rizal self-sacrifice, discipline, and compassion, Teodora Alonzo also taught Rizal a sense of fondness to poetry which he later on would use to impact others. Being his first teacher, Teodora had the most influence during his childhood that molded his perspective and ideas of pursuing what is right, fighting for what you believe in and staying your ground. His ways and love with poetry started early on when he was a child which may really suggest that because of his mother’s teaching to him when he was younger really influenced how he grew up and saw the world around him. With the story of the Moth being Rizal’s favorite story, and the story practically applying itself during his adulthood just goes to show how much he had learned from his mother. 2.) Yes Pomperada (A06)
1. Paciano Rizal, in my opinion, had the most impact on Jose Rizal's life and changed his perspective on the world's reality. Paciano's plan to send Rizal to various countries to study their cultures and discover the beauty of each country started it all. During his journey, he encountered many new individuals who inspired him to write poems, essays, and novels about liberalism, racism, equal rights, and other topics. Unfortunately, his mother, Teodora Alonzo, urged him not to write pieces that would upset the friars or the Regime since they could result in torture or, worse, death. However, he became even more determined to continue what he was doing and maintained his stance, saying, "A son can pay honor to his parents through honesty and good name." As a result, if Paciano's plan had not been implemented, Rizal may not have been aware of what was going on in our country and the suffering that his fellow countrymen were experiencing at the hands of the Spaniards. 2. Yes. DELA CRUZ, A07
1) The most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective when he was a child is his mother, Teodora Alonzo. Fact that Jose Rizal's mother was her first teacher, he learned to be obedient through the story of "The Story of the Moth" that to not go near the flames so the moth will not go to get burned. He learned how to write at the age of 5-years old because of his mother. The story of the moth was like a revelation of what would happen in Rizal's adulthood. His mother also taught him the value of money and also the importance of thrift and of denying oneself. We also learned everything from our mother there are many life lessons we could learn from our mother, the best life lessons will always be coming from them. 2) Yes Soriano, A06
1. I think the most influential person in Rizal's life was his mother, Teodora Alonzo. His mother was his first teacher. She taught him how to read and write. She taught him to not waste any second of his life and make every minute worth every work. She was the person who had the biggest impact on his growth as a person. She molded him to open his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all of its soul and poetry as well as its intolerance and injustice. Rizal proved to be his mother's son, throughout his young life, as he continually strived to preserve trust in the lessons she taught him. As a result, as a student in Spain, he became the most conscientious of students, never missing a class or a test, despite having to take them on an empty stomach due to his work as a Propaganda leader. 2. YES. (PINEDA, A06)
1.) Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonzo, became his first teacher. She taught him how to read and write at a very young age. Aside from teaching him how to appreciate reading, she also taught him to spend his time meaningfully. She also taught him reveral life lessons like, generosity, the value of hard-earned money and most specially, obedience. The way Doña Teodora brought up Jose Rizal made him a fine young man. He grew up with the proper guidance from his family, specially his mother. These are perhaps, what molded Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas. 2.) Paciano Rizal, was better known as Jose's second father. He was his guardian while he was growing up. Paciano was the one who took Jose to Biñan to study. He became Jose Rizal's guardian specially when it comes to education. From picking the schools he will go to and even the course to take up in his tertiary year. Paciano's life, it simply exemplifies the story relationship between sibling and the importance of loyalty and unity in the family. He become the model of how an older brother should be. And perhaps this molded Jose Rizal's perspective in life, the love from the family and most specially, the love for his country. 3.) YES BONDAD, A18
1.) As for my opinion, the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas was his own mother, Teodora Alonzo. His mother was the first teacher in his life before he went to school and was taught by his maestro, Justiniano Aquino Cruz. Just like us, our mother is the one who taught us first since we were young. Teodora taught and helped Jose Rizal to read and write at such a young age. Rizal’s favorite story was told by his mother, which happened in his adulthood. Then, Rizal was able to learn and gain knowledge about his mother’s stories. Moreover, he would be able to write poems such as "Sa Aking Mga Kabata", which he wrote when he was 8 years old. Throughout those years, Rizal became popular, and other writers were pleased to attribute their works to Rizal. Because of Rizal’s mother, Teodora Alonzo, he was able to learn and write incredible poems at a young age and became the greatest novelist when he became an adult. His mother was also an inspiration in his life and work. 2.) Yes. Sunga (A07)
1) For me the one who is the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child is Teodora Alonzo which is his mother. The reason I have chose Teodora Alonzo is because she was Jose Rizal's first teacher. His mother is the one who have integrated the foundation of his learnings at a very young age which is important in his future ideals in life. Due to the foundation that his mother has built, Jose Rizal has already started forming his ideals and perspective at a young age. This formation of ideals and perspective can be observed on how he already talks about social problems at such a young age which shows how open his mind already. The foundations that his mother had formed for him were one of the main contributors on this formation of ideals and perspective. We can't deny that the foundations and basics were one of the contributors on being a genius and the person he was known to this day. 2) Yes AMISTOSO, A07
For me I think the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child is his mother Teodora Alonzo. First of all Teodora Alonzo was Jose Rizal first teacher so that's mean that all of his knowledge is learned first from his mother. Even in this days mother is the big influencer of the child. The other choices is they influence Rizal in molding his perspective and ideas when he was child but Teodora Alonzo was the most influential for Jose Rizal because she was the mother. Teodora Alonzo influence Rizal's development as a person and she was who opened Rizal's eyes, heart to the world around him. He also learned about obedience, through the story of the moth (Gamo- gamo) that got burned by the flame because he disobeyed to his mother moth’s warning not to get too near the flame. Teodora Alonzo teach Rizal's about life not only in writing and reading. YES (GUTIERREZ,A07)
1. Teodora Alonso, Rizal's mother, was the person who had the greatest impact on his development as a person. She was the one who first opened his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all of its soul and poetry as well as its injustice. His mother was his first teacher, and it was from her that he learned to read and, as a result, to value reading as a means of learning and meaningfully spending one's time. It didn't take long for him to realize that time is the most valuable gift that life has to offer, because she taught him to never waste a single second of it. He learned the importance of self-improvement from his mother, and as a result, as he grew older, he worked hard to understand the logic of mathematics, write poems, draw and sculpt, and paint. Unfortunately, he earned not only glory but also the fear of myopic souls for all of this. His mother also instilled in him the value of hard-earned money, as well as the importance of being thrifty and denying oneself, and saving a portion of one's earnings as a hedge against life's whims. Despite growing up in luxury and wealth, he learned to save and scrimp. These would later come in handy for him during his time in Europe, as he struggled with poverty due to his family's meager and often delayed allowance. Beyond all else, he learned about conformity from her, as illustrated by the story of the moth who was burned by the flame because he disobeyed his mother's warning not to get too close to the flame. But, as life often does, life turned out to be a cruel joke, because his mother's teachings about obedience to the Catholic Church proved too difficult to follow, especially when he was struggling with a crisis of faith in its teachings. 2. Yes. Banzon (A07)
Lara(A07) 1. I think the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child is his mother, Teodora Alonzo. I chose Teodora Alonzo as the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child is because she was the first teacher of Jose Rizal. The role of the mother is to teach her children, to disciplined them, and give them knowledge. Teodora Alonzo had a big impact to Jose Rizal’s life since she taught Jose Rizal well. She was one of the reasons on why we got an inspirational and talented national hero which is Jose Rizal. She is also one of the influential people in the life of Jose Rizal. She also introduced the story of moth to Jose Rizal in which it became Jose Rizal’s favorite story. Teodora Alonzo is also one of the inspiration of Jose Rizal in pursuing his dreams. 2. Yes
1. Teodora Alonzo, the mother of Rizal, was one of the first people to mold Rizal into becoming a hero because she was little Pepe’s first teacher. She was known to be a disciplinarian and well-educated. Dona Teodora instilled Rizal with such great lessons and values that left a profound impact on Rizal’s views and ideas. Among the stories she shared with Rizal, “the story of the Moth (Gamo-gamo)” became his favorite. The story tells how the moth is captivated by the fire and continuously approaches it despite the danger it poses. Eventually, because of the moth’s urge to approach the fire despite the danger, it died along with it. The story of the moth somehow predicted what the future is for Little Pepe because, like the moth, Rizal died because of his principles and love for the country in pursuit of our freedom. He knew that it could get him killed, but he still decided to fight for it till the end. 2. The older brother of Jose Rizal, Paciano Rizal, was one the key figures that influenced Rizal into becoming a liberal and nationalist. Throughout Jose Rizal’s life, Paciano was there to support and guide him; he became a role model to his younger brother. Paciano was well-educated and active in politics, exposing his younger brother to different sorts of issues in society and politics. He also supported Jose Rizal when he studied in Europe, where he would send him money and keep him updated on the events transpiring in the country. After Rizal’s death, Paciano became the General of the Revolutionary Army and made his younger brother’s sacrifices worth it. The role of Paciano in Rizal’s life was really crucial, contributing to shaping Rizal into becoming our hero. 3. YES SALVADOR, B43
1) Teodora Alonzo is the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child. During the childhood of Rizal, Teodoro Alonzo was the first teacher of Dr. Jose Rizal. He learned to value reading to learn more educating lessons that complements to his character. The Story of the Moth which was told by his mother was one of the many lessons that affect Rizal’s perspective. The plot of the Story of the Moth can be seen in Rizal’s life as it was happened in his adulthood. Dr. Jose Rizal is like the young moth mentioned in the story as he became determined and courageous on fighting for his ideals and never giving up as he grew older. The great character of his mother was passed to his son, Dr. Jose Rizal. She was also the inspiration of Jose Rizal in taking up medicine course. Furthermore, Rizal wanted to pursue his medicine career as he wanted to be the eye specialist that will cure his mother’s eye illness. At some point, Teodora Alonzo was against on the decision of Rizal on taking higher education because she does not want his son to experience a tragic fate. To sum it up, Rizal became the young moth who burn down on the flame as he got near into its danger. The character of Dr. Jose Rizal continues on developing that made him the person who is known in today’s world, a hero who challenged the oppressors and fought for his countrymen. Teodora Alonzo is the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas during Rizal's childhood. 2) Yes. SUMARIA, A07
1) Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal's mother influenced or molded him to become the national hero we know today as she was his first teacher. She would often tell stories to Rizal when he was still a little boy that had moral lessons that he would later use during his adulthood. As his mother and first teacher, Teodora Alonzo guided his little boy to become a person that would later shine in his later days. She influenced Rizal's education as she provided the best for him, for him to be able to have the best access to education there is at that time. She would tell him all about equality, compassion, and justice. She taught him that he should always stay on the right path even if no one else is there and to stand up for what is right. Teodora Alonzo molded Jose Rizal to become the national hero of our country today. 2) Paciano Rizal, Jose Rizal's older brother influenced his perspective and ideas that he is now our national hero as he supported Rizal on the path that he took. Paciano, like his mother Teodora, would provide the best education for Rizal that would be the foundation for his improvement and development and well and his intellect and being wise. He served as Rizal's guardian growing up and would guide him throughout his journey. He was the source of inspiration for Jose Rizal to be upright and bring justice to our nation from the Spaniards. He would even send Rizal some money when he was still studying in abroad and update him on what is currently happening in the country through some letters. As a big brother, Paciano Rizal is the kind of person that will still be an inspiration and a good example for big brothers to their younger siblings today. He was a guardian, advisor, and sometimes leader that help Rizal to walk on the path of being the hero we know today. 3) YES (CAGAMPANG, B43)
1. Teodora Alonzo, Rizal's mother, was the one who had the biggest impact on his development as a person. She was the one who first opened his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all of its soul and poetry as well as its intolerance and injustice. Rizal proved to be his mother's son, a chip off the old block, throughout his young life, as he continually strived to preserve trust in the lessons she taught him. His mother was his first teacher, and it was from her that he learned to read and, as a result, to appreciate reading as a means of learning and productively spending one's time. He quickly learned to respect time as life's most valuable gift, as she encouraged him to never waste a single second of it. He learned the importance of self-improvement from his mother, and as he grew older, he worked hard to understand the logic of mathematics, write poems, sketch, sculpt, and paint. His mother also instilled in him the value of hard work and, more importantly, the importance of being thrifty and limiting oneself in order to save a portion of one's earnings as a hedge against life's whims. Above all, he learnt about obedience from her, as in the fable of the moth who was burned by the flame because he disregarded his mother moth's caution not to approach too close to the flame. That is why I believe Teodora Alonzo had the greatest influence on Jose Rizal's childhood outlook and ideals. 2. Yes. Firme (A07)
1) I believe the most influential person in molding Dr. Jose Rizal perspective and ideas was his mother Teodora Alonzo, not only that she was his first teacher, to where he learnt how to read. It was Teodora Alonzo who opened Rizal's mind to everything he believes in. She made clear that her son understood the situation at which Philippines is suffering from, all the injustices, bigotry, and corruption under the Spanish Empire. Which is why I think that she was the most influential person that molded Dr. Jose Rizal perspective and ideas, because without explaining or teaching all her knowledge to young Pepe he wouldn't have a concrete consciousness of what is happening around him. His other relatives such as Francisco Mercado and Paciano Rizal, (his father and brother) also played a role on molding Dr. Jose Rizal as they all have one thing in common and that is to ultimately free their motherland from Spaniards. Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz also had his fair contribution to Rizal's life as he was his teacher for Latin and Spanish, where he Mastered Latin and learnt Spanish. I believe Napolean Bonaparte was Rizal's idol, to which he looks up to maybe because he resembles himself to the French leader as they both share some similar physical features and that maybe Rizal was motivated on how influential he can be just like Napolean Bonaparte. 2) Yes Meranio-(A06)
1 The person who had the biggest influence on Rizal's personal growth was his mother, Teodora Alonso. She was the one who first allowed him to see the world around him for what it truly was, with all of its soul, poetry, and injustice. His mother served as his first instructor and taught him how to read. As a result, he came to respect reading as a tool for education and a fulfilling way to pass the time. She instructed him to never squander a single second of it, therefore it didn't take him long to learn that time is the most valuable gift life has to offer. His mother taught him the value of self-improvement, and as a result,As he became older, he put a lot of effort into learning mathematics, writing poetry, drawing and sculpting, and painting. Unfortunately, for all of this, he acquired not only fame but also the dread of narrow-minded people. His mother also taught him the value of hard work, the virtues of self-denial and economy, and the wisdom of setting aside some of one's earnings as insurance against the whims of life. Despite living in luxury and prosperity as a child, he learned how to conserve money. These would subsequently be useful to him as he suffered with poverty in Europe as a result of his family's limited and frequently delayed allowance. Above all, she taught him about conformity, as evidenced by the story 2 Since Paciano was politically active and highly educated, he exposed Rizal to a variety of social and political topics that later shaped his activism and writing. The Gomburza martyrs' 1872 execution, which Paciano and Rizal witnessed together, was a turning point in history that deeply affected Paciano's brother. Rizal's fury at the injustices and excesses of the colonial administration was sparked by the Spanish government's killing of the three Filipino priests, which inspired him to fight for social and political change in the Philippines. Along with recounting historical incidents, Paciano acted as an example for his younger brother. Rizal learned the importance of knowledge and critical thinking from Paciano, his older sibling and a well-respected member of the community. 3 yes Barcellano b43
1. Based on my own learning from our previous lesson, I can say that her mother, Teodora Alonzo, played a significant role in shaping his perspective and ideas during his childhood. I remember what I said last time: that his parents have a huge influence on Rizal’s perspective today. I believe that Teodora Alonzo, Rizal's mother, was a well-educated woman who played a significant role in shaping his outlook and ideas during his childhood. She encouraged his intellectual pursuits and placed a strong emphasis on education. Teodora Alonzo taught Rizal how to read and write from a young age, exposing him to various books and literature that sparked his curiosity and skills. Her love for their country deeply influenced Rizal, and it became a central theme in his writings and activism. Teodora Alonzo also guided Rizal's religious upbringing, introducing him to different teachings and practices. This exposure to diverse perspectives nurtured his open-mindedness and his inclination to question prevailing beliefs, leading to his writings on religious reform and advocacy for religious freedom. 2. His older brother, Paciano Rizal, had a profound influence on shaping his mindset and beliefs during his formative years. As a mentor and guide, Paciano shared meaningful experiences and teachings with Jose. He shares stories of the hardships and oppression endured by their fellow countrymen under Spanish colonial rule, instilling in Jose Rizal a strong dedication to advocating for social justice. Paciano's influence ingrained in Jose a firm commitment to stand up against injustices and fight for the rights of their people. One example that illustrates his influence is Paciano Rizal, who understood how education could empower people and make a positive impact on society. He supported and motivated Jose in his studies, pushing him to succeed academically. Although Paciano couldn't pursue his own educational dreams due to financial limitations, his belief in the power of knowledge greatly influenced Jose. This shaped Jose Rizal's strong dedication to learning and his determination to use education to improve his nation. 3. Yes, sir, I watched the entire video lecture in my course work: Rizal, the Wonder Child. Carañagan, Section B43)
1. The most influential amongst all of them is Teodora Alonzo since she was the first teacher of Rizal at an early age. The foundation of a person is built when they were young in which the same concept applies to us. The person and the environment Rizal grew up in were responsible for who he was born and lived to be. The creation of this core foundation served as Rizal's basis for his perspective and ideas on our society and our world during his time, thus allowed him to discover great things such as the freedom of the Filipinos. Fortunately for us Filipinos, there was a Teodora Alonzo and a healthy environment for Rizal that taught Rizal the importance of being obedient as an individual, being punctual in his classes, and being generous towards others. Importantly, he was taught the injustices dictated upon us by the Spaniards. Therefore, besides the other people mentioned in the question, the most influential person is the person Rizal grew up with at an early age which is his mother, Teodora Alonzo, since she molded the core foundation of Rizal's character. 2. Yes. MANAPAT, A01
1) Jose Rizal's mother, Teodora Alonzo, had the greatest influence on his perspective and ideas as a child. His mother was his first teacher, and it was from her that he learned to read and, as a consequence, to appreciate reading as a means of learning and productively spending one's time. It didn't take long for him to realize that time is the most valuable gift that life has to offer, because she taught him to never waste a single minute of it. Most of all, he learnt about obedience from her, as shown by the story of the moth who was burned by the flame because he defied his mother's warning not to approach too close to the flame. But, as life often does, things turned out differently, and his mother's teachings about obedience to the Catholic Church became too difficult to follow, especially while he was struggling with a crisis of faith in its teachings. 2) Yes - Ortiz (A01)
(SALUNDAGA, A01) 1. If you would imagine it is somehow fantastic to think if Rizal was really been influenced by the people around him or it is really inherent to him about his notable patriotism. While some of his line have been authentically true in his lifetime he may have some sort of power who can contemplate the future etc. we should remember that it is Teodora Alonzo who provide the substantial contribution on Rizal in molding Rizal's perspective, he may be a wonder child full of potential but since today, our mother has been our first teacher from speaking, counting, and reading etc. The question is, if Rizal is the best thing since slice bread of his mother why do her siblings were not nominated as one of the national heroes? I think the other part of it is the innate soul and personalities of his father plus the the education on Spain on where he learned the word "libertad" is a complete package that made him as influential as today. 2.Yes
1) I think that all of the people who Dr. Rizal encountered and interact with him during his childhood give influence unto him and not only being relatives and friends for him but they gave him insights about what the real world is, outside of his own knowledge and perspective. But I can say that the most influential in molding Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child was his mother A) Teodora Alonzo. It is because since our childhood, our parents are the ones who taught us to behave, have a moral among ourselves, and respect the elderly; and not only that but also to have virtues that we can carry all through out of our lifetime. However, there are still several factors that can affect one’s perspective and ideas, one of these is his / her experiences in life. This is due to in effect of different opinions and facts that a person encountered every day, but the most important here is that our parents / guardians are still at our side whom we can seek advise if we did not know what we might done unless we are aware and convinced that our decision will bring us good. This is the reasons why I think that his mother was the most influential to him. 2) Yes po. Reyes (A06)
In my opinion, the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas was Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon was well known because of what he did for his country. He had an essential role in the French Revolution and promoted French nationalism. Napoleon was also famous due to his outstanding leadership and strong characteristics, and he was always focused on his goal. Napoleon did all those good things because of his love for his country. In addition, as stated in the lecture video, Jose Rizal was fond of him and even created a small statue of Napoleon by molding clay. Napoleon gave Rizal an idea of the wrong things that every nation had. He set Jose Rizal's perspective that every country and nation deserves its freedom. Lastly, Napoleon influenced Rizal to fight for what was right for the country's sake. So therefore, Napoleon Bonaparte was the most influential person in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child. Yes. ROXAS, A07
1.) Many people influences the knowledge and beliefs that Jose Rizal used in the journey of his life. Of all the persons who had the greatest influence in Rizal's character development as a person, it was his mother Teodora Alonzo. She was the first teacher of Rizal. She is the one who opened the eyes and heart of Rizal to the world around him. From her, Rizal learned how to read and to value reading as a way of leaning different things that could help in developing a great knowledge for the future career of the young Rizal. The values and education that he have gained from the guidance of her mother has been a big part in the achievements that Jose Rizal made in his life. Without the influence that her mother brought in his life, Rizal may not be able to achieve his achievements or maybe it would be difficult for him without the influence of his mother. 2.) Yes. (Dela Cruz, A01)
SALIBIADA (A07) 1. All the people who have had the biggest influence on Rizal's development are his mother, Teodora Alonso. It was she who opened his eyes and heart to the world around him, with all her soul and poetry. His mother was his first teacher, and from her he learned to read, and therefore he values reading as a way to learn and spend his time in a meaningful way. It didn't take long before he learned to appreciate life's most precious gift, because it taught him never to waste a second of it. Teodora drew from him the value of the work of his hands, of self-control, and by sharing with others, she taught him generosity and helped him make the world a better place for him. people with less material lives. It was mainly from her that he learned obedience, through the story of the moth burned by the fire because he disobeyed his mother's warning not to get too close to the fire. 2.) YES
1) From my perspective, I think Jose Rizal’s mother - Teodora Alonzo, was the most influential in molding Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas when he was a child because she was his first teacher. Although Teodora Alonzo was not the only who shaped Jose Rizal’s perspective and ideas as a child, she had the most impact when it comes to how the young Jose Rizal viewed life. Teodora Alonzo taught Rizal the basics like how to read and write in his early years, and she told Jose Rizal stories like the story of the moth which perhaps served as a lesson for him. These things that his mother taught him, especially reading, allowed him to interpret and write different ideas as a child because, as my English teacher would say, “what will you write if you do not read.” Without Teodora Alonzo, Jose Rizal would have had his eyes closed to injustice and cruelty of the world. 2) Yes, I did. GARCIA (A01)
1.) Among the following persons, though they all had a part on shaping Jose Rizal's character, it was his mother, Teodora Alonzo who played the biggest part in influencing his perpective and ideas when he was a child. Teodora Alonzo was Jose Rizal's first teacher who taught him how to read and write before the age of 5, though it seems common for a child to attain that level of literacy, it was not the case during Jose Rizal's time, so he was fortunate that his mother became a teacher to him when he was a child. Being taught at a young age, he would be able to write poems which is indeed unbelievable and this allows him to sharpen his skills in writing early on. Other than literacy, Teodora Alonzo as his mother, is able to teach him lessons about life and culture, in which, together with his passion to write, would be a key in opening the minds of his fellow countrymen to attain independence. 2.) Yes. MANONGDO, A06
1) In my opinion, many people influenced Rizal but the most influential in molding Jose Rizal's perspective and ideas when he was a child was his mother, Doña Teodora Alonso. We all know that the mothers are the first teacher of their children like Doña Teodora who opened Rizal's eyes to the world and from her, he learned how to draw, paint, read, write poems and taught him about the culture and religion. Above all, she taught him about obedience through a story which is his favorite story about "the moth" who got burned by the flame because of disobeying the mother moth's warning to not to get too near to the flame. However, this story happened to him when he became a political activist, his works or his deeds had caused him to his early death. Although he is already dead, we will see in his works how his mother helped him to mold his character which became an instrumental to set us free from the Spaniards. 2) Yes Parsaligan (A07)
1. We all know that the first teacher of Jose Rizal is his mother Teodora Alonso. Teodora Alonso has a big impact that helps Jose Rizal to be motivated. Teodora Alonso opens Jose Rizal's eyes and heart to the country with all its poetry and soul. From his mother, Jose Rizal learns how to improve himself to write a poem and other skills. Jose Rizal learns how to be obedient, like from the story of the Moth (Gamo-gamo) that it got burned by the fire because of disobeying his mother moth’s message that not go near the fire. Jose Rizal learn what is justice, discipline, and compassion from his mother, the most important of all that his mother Teodora Alonso raised her kids to treat the Indios with respect. Rizal will indeed use these capabilities, as well as his sense of fairness, to battle for his mother, whom he admired. 2. Yes -Milo (A07)
1.) A. Teodora Alonzo. I believe it is Dr. Jose Rizal's mother Teodora Alonzo, was one of his most important influences on his personal growth. Specially when in molding his perspective and ideas when he was a child. She was Dr. Jose Rizal's first teacher, and she was the one who first exposed him to the world, with all of its passion, poetry, bigotry, and injustice. Dr. Jose Rizal learned about obedience from his mother who told her the story about gamo-gamo which had the most impact to him until he reach adulthood. Teodora Alonzo was also a strict disciplinarian and a cultural mother who taught Rizal how to be a humble and gentle soul and how to raise his voice for the those people who experienced bigotry and injustice. Which Rizal did to fight for our Country. He did fought for our country in his own way. 2.) Yes Acuyong (A06)
