Pagkatakot

Buod

Ipinangalandakan ni Ben Zayb sa El Grito na tama siya sa madalas niyang sabihing nakasasama sa Pilipinas ang pagtutuo sa kabataan. Ito’y pinatunayan ng mga paskil.

Naging takot ang lahat mula sa Heneral hanggang sa mga intsik. Ang mga prayle ay di nakasipot sa basar ni Quiroga. Ang intsik man ay nag-ayos ng tindahan na madaling maisara kung sakali. Inisip ni Quiroga na magtungo kay Simoun at isangguni kung panahon na upang gamitin ang mga baril at pulbura’t bala na ipinatago nito sa kanya. Ayon sa himatong ni Simoun iyon ay palihim na ilalagay sa mga bahay-bahay at saka magpapahalughog ang pamahalaan. Daami ang madarakip at mabibilanggo. Maami, lalo sa mayayaman, ang patutulong sa kanila ni Simoun at iyon ay mangangahulugan ng malaking salapi. Nguni’t di niya nakausap si Simoun. Ipinasabi lamang na huwag galawin ni Quiroga ang anuman sa kinalalagyan.

Nagtungo si Quiroga kay Don Custodio upang isangguni kung dapat sandatahan ng intsik ang sariling tahanan. Ayaw ring tumanggap si Don Custodio ng sinuman. Kay Ben Zayb nagtungo ang intsik. Nang makita niya na nakapatong sa mga papeles ng manunulat ang dalawang rebolber, kaagad nagpaalam ang intsik. Umuwi ,nahiga at nagdahilang maysakit.

Kinahapunan ay kumalat pa ang balitang may panayam ang mga estudyante at mga tulisan sa San Mateo; niyari daw ang balak na paglusob sa lungsod sa isang Pansiterya; may bapor pandigma aw ang mga Aleman sa look, katulong ng mga estudyante; may mga estudyante pa aw na nagtungo sa Malakanyang upang magpahayag ng pagkamaka-Kastila ngunit nahulihan sila ng armas kaya’t pinagpipit; naligtas daw ang Heneral dahil noo’y nakikipanayam sa mga puno ng orden o provincial sa Pilipinas.

May nagpanukalang magpabaril kaagad ng isang dosenang pilibusterilyo upang matigil ang gulo. Anang isa’y sapat nang palakarin sa mga lansangan ang mga kawal na kabayuhan at may hilang kanyon at ang lahat ay magsisipanhik ng bahay upang manahimik. Anang isa naman, pagpapatayin ang mayayaman at linisin ang bayan.

Kina Kapitan Tiyago. Una’y ibinilanggo na si Basilio at naghaluhog sa mga kasulatan ng binata. Nayanig ang kahinahunan ni Kapitan Tiyago. Saka ngayo’y dumating si Padre Irene at nagbabalita ng kung anu-anong mga nakatatakot. Nanginig sa takot ang matanda. Nakadilat ang mata na napakapit sa kura. Nagpilit bumangon. Nguni’t di nakaya. Bumagsak na bumubula ang bibig. Patay na. Nasindak ang kura. Tumakbo. Nakahawak sa kanya ang patay na nakaladkad niya hanggang sa gitna ng silid.

Kinagabihan. Sa isang binyagan ay may nagsabog ng kuwalta. Nag-agawan ang mga bata. Nagkaingay sa may pinto ng simbahan. Isang opisyal ang nagdaan. Nabigla ito sa pag-aakalang gawa iyon ng mgs pilibusterilyo. Hinabol ng sable ang mga batang nagsipasok sa simbahan. Nagtakbuhan ang mga tao. Nagsimula na raw ang himagsikan.

Dalawang tao ang nahuling nagbabaon ng sandata sa silong ng isang bahay na tabla. Hinabol ng mga tao ang dalawa upang ibigay sa pamahalaan. Di ito nangahuli. Ang mga baril ay lumang eskopeta na maari pang makasugat sa gagamit.

Isang beterano ang napatay dahil pinagkamalan ng isang kawani na yaon ay estudyante. Isang bingi ang sinino sa Dulumbayan. Hindi ito sumagot. Binaril. Patay!

Sa isang tindahan ay si Tadeo kaagad ang ipinakibalitaan. Binaril na raw, anang pinagtanungan. Napadaing ang babae. Malaki raw ang utang ni Tadeo sa kanya. Anang kausap ay baka raw madamay pa kay Tadeo ang may tindahan. Natahimik ang babae.

Luku-luko raw si Isagani. Kusa pa raw nagpadakip. Babarilin daw malamang. Walang anuman daw sa kanya’t walang utang sa kanya si Isagani, anang ginang na may tindahan. Ano raw kaya ang gagawin ni Paulita. Baka raw pakasal sa iba, anang tumugon. Halos lahat ng bahay ay may mga nagrurosaryo.

Sa tirahan nina Placido Penitente, hindi naniniwala ang platero sa mga paskil. Gawa lang daw iyon ni Padre Salvi. Ayon naman sa isa’y si Quiroga ang may gawa. May ibig daw ipasok na kontrabando si Quiroga at nasa look na sandaang libong pisong mehikano. Nagkaroon daw ng kaguluhan. Pinadulasan ang mga kawani sa adwana at nakalusot ang salapi.

May narinig silang mga yabag. Natigil ang usapan kay Quiroga. Kunwa’y binanggit ng isa si San Pascual Bailon. Ang dumating ay si Placido . Kasama ang manggagawa ng kuwitis o pulbura si Simoun.

Hindi raw nakausap ni Placido ang mga bilanggo.Tatlumpu raw. Ayon sa manggagawa ng pulbura ay magpupugutan ng ulo sa gabing iyon. Hindi raw mangyayari iyon, anang isa, dahil si Simoun na siyang madalas magpayo niyon ay maysakit. Nagkapalitan ng tingin ang dalawang bagong dating.

Nang gabing iyon ay pinalitan ang mga tanod sa pinto ng siyudad. Ipinalit ay mga artilyerong Kastila. Kinabukasan ay nakatagpo sa Luneta, malapit sa pinto, ng bangkay ng isang dalagitang kayumanggi. Halos hubad. Ngunit nakita man iyon ni Ben Zayb ay di na nabalita.

Mga Tanong at Sagot

1. Ano ang palatandaan na takot ang mga prayle sa mga pangyayari?

Sagot

Ni isa’y walang sumipot sa tindahan ni Quiroga gayong may mga bagong dating na panindang "nabibili" ni (nang walang bayad) sa intsik.

2. Bakit ayon kay Ben Zayb ay nakasisira ang pagtuturo sa Pilipinas?

Sagot

Natututo raw na maging rebelde ang mga Pilipinong dumudunong. Iisa sila ng katuwiran ni Padre Damaso (Noli Me Tangere)

3. Ano ang balak ni Simoun sa mga baril at kartutsong ipinatago niya kay Quiroga?

Sagot

Ipamamahagi iyon sa mga taong bayang sasanib sa kanyang paghihimagsik.

4. Bakit ayaw makipagkita si Simoun kahit kay Quiroga?

Sagot

Siya ay sugatan. Ayaw niyang mausisa ukol doon. Masama rin ang kanyang loob sa mga pangyayari. Namatay si Maria Clara. Nasira ang balak na paghihimagsik. Mainit ang kanyang ulo. Kailangan niya ang mapag-isa , makapagisip-isip.

...We knew Rizal was our Philippine national hero but do you even wonder who Jose Rizal really is? Having this privilege to fully watch the documentary film about the life of a hero directed by Butch Nolasco made me think that it’s very rare to find such person who would give his own life knowing he have all those wealth and intelligence that others don’t have for the sake of his motherland and fellow citizens. If you would be dare to die for your country, will you have the courage to accept it given at this particular moment? That’s the question that surely most of us would decline, wouldn’t we? The documentary film of Jose Rizal shows his life starting from his young age up until the day he died. There featured all the information about his family, the schools and courses that Rizal entered and toke up, his travels across different nations, the particular people he had made friends with and those of his enemies as well, and of course his sacrifices he did for the success of the 2 novels that play an important role in the awakening of patriotism among Filipino patriots .It was also featured the women that Rizal had flings with. As I remembered Segunda Katigbak was Rizal’s First girlfriend while Leonor Rivera his cousin became his first love that lasted for 11 years until her parents arranged a wedding to Kipping. It’s a genuine frustration indeed for a person to be in that kind of situation. Despite Rizal is in the moment of great sorrow with how his relationship with...

...Jose Rizal at the University of Santo Tomas Gian Linardo Mari T. Estrella  Enrolment at the University of Santo Tomas Even if Rizal liked painting much, he was not then intending to make art as his profession. He was not yet certain of what course to pursue. In his Memorias de un estudiante, he says that he was still undecided then about the university career he would follow as the school year 1877-1878 is nearing. Different authors of Rizal give different answers on what and who influenced Rizal in opting what course to take. It is the question of who made the final choice, he himself, his mother, his father, his brother or the Jesuits. Rizal tells us that his mother was worried about him pursuing a university career in Manila because of her ingenuity, or possibly her motherly instinct. His mother Teodora feared that Rizal would come to a bad end just as the fate of ilustrados before like Father Burgos. Buthe does not say in memorias de un estudiante, he did not specify what her mother preferred for him. His brother Paciano discouraged him from taking law, because of the belief that Rizal would not be able to practice that profession due to the political conditions that time. In his memorias de un estudiante, he recalls: “I enrolled in Metaphysics because, aside From the fact that I had doubts about the career I should follow, my father wanted me to study it (Metaphysics).”  Very likely, Don Francisco had pictured Rizal having a career in Civil Law. And due to this, Don...

...Reflections on Rizal - Three Thoughts Tiny Dancer Hero There is this idea that heroes inevitably reflect their country. When you think about it historical heroes exist as receptacles of a nation’s hopes and dreams. They are the guiding lights, the individuals who helped shape the nature of a people. Heroes are, in other words, can be considered the soul and conscience of a country. Their philosophies, ideals, and examples acting as the benchmarks for right collective action. That, as well, is why each generation must recast their nation’s heroes in new forms and view them in new perspectives. Heroes and their actions, much like all of history, are consistently up for reinterpretation. Without that process they will never be relevant. A disturbing question to ask is if our heroes are really relevant today. As a result, studying how our heroes are approached and constructed in the public sphere gives a country an understanding of who they are as a people. Heroes are a reflection of the values of a people. And if that is the case, as I strongly suspect it is, then the way we currently construct Jose Rizal (the way we approach him and his legacy) does not speak too well of us. There is something faintly disturbing about the fact that more is written, and known, in popular society (and pop history) about how many languages Rizal spoke (and how many women he supposedly bedded) than the importance of his annotated Morga. Or even that there is this pervasive sense of Rizal the Reformer...

...The movie Jose Rizal which was excellently played by Cesar Montano as the lead role was a heartwarming one that shows how Rizal runs his life. While watching the movie, I felt mixed emotions given the fact that it was made to help us, Filipinos, understand what our national hero had done for the country. It shows how Rizal really love his mother country for him to sacrificed his own life. The film also works through a series of flashback showing Rizal as a genius, a write, a doctor, an artist, a lover, a friend, a brother, a son that gives texture to his character. It shows the great explanation of the Philippine history, the nationalism and heroism in a non-violent manner, though, there were times that the characters speak in Spanish language and I couldn’t understand it unless I will read the subtitles. I could also say that the other characters weren’t having any difficulties in reciting their Spanish lines. The actors’ dedication for the film is inevitable especially Cesar Montano who is very perfect for the role of Rizal. His values and great performance as the lead actor is impeccable and has a great impact on me as the audience of the said film. Also, the supporting casts like Jhong Hilario who played as Rizal’s servant, Jaime Fabregas as Rizal’s attorney did a great job on portraying their role fluently. They made it easy for me to understand the flow of the story. However, there are also negative comments that I must say about the movie. The plot was...

...Rizal Sa Dapitan Rizal Sa Dapitan A Film Analysis There are only a few people who are able to stand up and fight for what is right. Only few can get the courage and believe that there really is hope if we all just fight for our rights, our beliefs and our country and one of these people showed Filipinos that we are not inferior and that we deserve a life that is the same as others. Our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, opened our eyes and fought for our freedom even if it means endangering himself and his family. He knew the consequences of his actions yet he still continued and never gave up the fight and stood till the very end. Being exiled in Dapitan is not really a haven for him, it was a prison, a place where he is away from his family and friends, where he felt sad and alone and still made the most out of it. Rizal Sa Dapitan is probably the one that stands out from the other Rizal movies that I know since it was very specific, focusing only on Rizal’s exile in Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte. It gave viewers a quick glance of what life was like when our national hero was in a remote place and how did he cope up not only with the lifestyle in Dapitan but with his separation from his family. The film was able to depict how he used his talents and intelligence to help the small community in Dapitan and impart knowledge to young men. He made an irrigation system; he planted plants and crops, raised chickens and cure those who are sick. Even if our hero is in a remote place...

...JOSE RIZAL JOSÉ PROTACIO RIZAL MERCADO Y ALONSO REALONDA (born 19 June 1861, Calamba, Philippines- died 30 December 1896, Manila, Philippines), patriot, physician and man of letters whose life and literary works were an inspiration to the Philippine nationalist movement. Rizal was the son of a prosperous landowner and sugar planter of Chinese-Filipino descent on the island of Luzon. His mother, Teodora Alonso, one of the most highly educated women in the Philippines at that time, exerted a powerful influence on his intellectual development. He was educated at the Ateneo de Manila and the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. In 1882, he went to study medicine and liberal arts at the University of Madrid. A brilliant student, he soon became the leader of the small community of Filipino students in Spain and committed himself to the reform of Spanish rule in his home country, though he never advocated Philippine independence. The chief enemy of reform, in his eyes, was not Spain, which was going through a profound revolution, but the Franciscan, Augustinian and Dominican friars who held the country in political and economic paralysis. Rizal continued his medical studies in Paris and Heidelberg. In 1886, he published his first novel in Spanish, Noli Me Tangere, a passionate exposure of the evils of the friars rule, comparable in its effect to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. A sequel,El Filibusterismo, 1891, established his reputation as the leading spokesman of the...

...RIZAL SA DAPITAN The movie “Rizal sa Dapitan” shows Rizal’s life in exile in the said place before his execution. During his exile, he refused to just mope around and wait for his freedom. Instead, he made his exile in Dapitan very fruitful as much as possible. For fruitful leisure, he planted several kinds of plants, made an irrigation system, and sculpted. He offered free medicinal check-ups for the locals and even performed a surgery on his mother, blinded by a severe cataract, when she and Jose Rizal’s sisters left from Hong Kong to visit him. He became a local teacher or “maestro” for the young boys, offering free education for the less fortunate. And of course, like any other young man, he fell in love and got married to an Irish-American who came from Hong Kong to Dapitan, Josephine Bracken, who asked for help to cure her blind father. Towards the end of the movie, a fellow doctor and a member of the KKK, Pio Valenzuela, visited him to ask for advice on their planned “revolution”. But since the colony was not yet ready for a revolution, he just advised that the KKK should first stock up on armory and weapon through their rich fellow countrymen and train for battle. By watching the movie, I learned more on the life of our national hero. I was even able to establish the “good and bad” about our beloved Jose Rizal. For the “bad”, I can only think of one thing.
