Many years have passed, and today is our obligation as Filipinos to guarantee that the
opportunity they battle, and drive containers will keep on being safeguarded for individuals
later. Like our general picture of mental fortitude and hesitance to be Filipinos, power, and
love for God has driven us into our well-known country today. We are individuals they longed
for and battled for previously, and we are a nation where we need to proceed with their
inheritance.

Individuals in all actuality do truly have contrasts that outcome in their uniqueness
that will remain in the personalities and hearts of individuals. Jose Rizal, our National Hero,
needs to battle in a way that maintains the law that was given to them in a quiet fight.
Through his books, Noli Me Tangere published in 1887 and El Filibusterismo that was
published on 1891, he uncovered the savagery of the Spanish rulers in his country. Spanish
oppression spread rapidly all through the world and this caused him his life. Andres
Bonifacio, who was also known as “The Father of Revolution”, then again, wants a perilous
upset in which blood will be seen all over and weapons will be utilized. Bonifacio's adoration
for his local land and his kin is cherished in his famous line: "Freedom or Death." In addition,
Emilio Aguinaldo, the President of the main Philippine Republic, however youthful as he may
be, was provoked to be a recognized pioneer through various military triumphs. He cultivated
extraordinary authority in the Philippine-American conflict.

Moreover, General Antonio Luna, named as the best Filipino warrior of the upset and
the red-hot general, involved his knowledge in making a Department of War to join each
commonplace powers unit in battling the Americans. His life was additionally a significance
being a dependable revolutionist having faith in military discipline that neglected to be
perceived by many warriors.

Rizal, Bonifacio, Aguinaldo, and Luna are the progressive legends of our country.
Jose Rizal or also known as "Pepe" is really a result of his current circumstance which
incorporates his general public, his environmental elements, and the circumstances
predominant at his time. The various conditions of Rizal's life that lead to a progression of
lucky and appalling occasions lead him to creator the books; Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not)
and El Filibusterismo (Subversion) which are considered an imaginative appearance that
prompted the stirred hearts and brains of the persecuted Filipino to stand and excited the
protection from Spanish imperialism.

Then again, Andres showed how the Filipinos experienced the mercilessness of the
Spanish rule. The abuse and unfairness each Filipino got through gave the ascent of a solid
feeling of patriotism. They are ready to lay their lives, shed tears, and pass on their families
to battle for a purpose they immovably accept merits battling for: to recover and recapture
our freedoms in our own country. Once more and this is a result of their solid feeling of
boldness and solidarity as one that we are partaking in the aftereffect of their strenuous and
rough battle with the Spaniards — a free country.

Emilio Aguinaldo nicknamed "Miong" had a significant impact as he stick headed the
upheaval during the Philippine-American War against United States protection from
Philippine Independence. Aguinaldo forced an impermanent fascism in Cavite through force.
On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo announced Philippine freedom subsequent to gathering with
the Malolos Congress and composing another republic's constitution. Aguinaldo's statement
shut down four centuries of Philippine abuse under Spanish pioneer control.

Additionally, Luna applies his tactical science foundation to the youngster armed force.
He coordinated proficient guerrilla fighters later known as the "Luna Sharpshooters" and the
"Rogue." His three-layered protection, presently known as the Luna Defense Line, caused
problems for American soldiers during their mission in the areas north of Manila. This
cautious line brought about the foundation of a tactical fortress in the Cordillera. The harsh
demise of General Luna was one of the numerous incredible misfortunes of the whole Filipino
Nation, it was said that the death of Luna reviews the comparable destiny of Andres Bonifacio
in the Cavite area in the start of the upset. General James F. Chime noticed that Luna "was
the main general the Filipino armed force had" and Aguinaldo's powers experienced tragic
loss after awful loss following Antonio Luna's homicide.
These legend's lives show the amount they will cry tears, shed a great deal of blood,
and even pass on to recover our property and freedoms in our own country. It very well may
be seen that battling the Spaniards is incredibly troublesome on the grounds that they are
many focuses in front of the Katipunan’s. Nothing comes even close to the Katipunan’s'
blades, despite their prevalent weapons like rifles and cannons. Regardless, they didn't
permit themselves to be crushed by the Spaniards because of their solid feeling of fortitude
and solidarity, which they utilized as their essential weapon.

Their courage pushes us to instill patriotism and positive energy to our homeland so
that we can carry on with our lives continuously remembering how our legends adored our
nation such a lot of that we can partake in the their rewards for all the hard work and forfeits.
It showed the goal, responsibility, and strength of the Filipinos which appeared to the
development of our public character. We can continuously think back to their traits and
qualities that we can use in taking care of and dealing with our advanced issues, may it be
on a bigger scale(national) or even our own fights throughout everyday life.

Education and being educated truly is an amazing asset in the spread of patriotism.
This will encourage an enemy of frontier, against radical direction in view of our aggregate
authentic experience. Such a set of experiences ought to make sense of how, why, and for
whose benefit our kin have been taken advantage of and persecuted. What's more, that is
being outlined by The Rizal Law, which commands generally instructive establishments in
the Philippines to offer courses about José Rizal and in the long run, other gutsy and
remarkable individuals like him.

Our undertaking currently is to save their heritage and to keep the increases they made
for us to the detriment of their own lives. Also, the most effective way to recall them is to save
the light igniting with the qualities for which they lived and kicked the bucket. We can't be
generally extraordinary legends like them, yet we can all be legends in our own little manner
by getting things done and setting models to ultimately benefit the local area and the whole
Philippine society.

These four national heroes really contributed a lot for the Philippines just to make our
country free from the foreign colonizers. They dedicated their lives for the betterment of the
future of our beloved country which is the Philippines, and the history they created will
forever be in the minds of all Filipinos as an inspiration to enhance their patriotism and
nationalism.
