Rizal and Bonifacio

Rizal class this morning started out as a real boring class. Our professor had this baritone voice that seemed to lull me to sleep. I am really mean to say this but I was irritated by the way he talked. He had a "p and f" defect. It's just so distracting! As our discussion progressed, I was feeling more and more irritable. I can say that we had another biased discussion.

I'm not against the fact that Rizal is the country's national hero, but that doesn't mean I like him as a national hero. I just don't see why Bonifacio (according to our book) is not capable of being recognized as a national hero because he lost all his battles against the Spaniards. I just don't think that would be a good basis or justifiable reason why he isn't capable. If failuers are the basis of the greatness of a person, it's just like saying students who had failing grades isn't capable of working at all! Sobra naman! Hindi naman sukatan ng galing ang mga kahinaan mo diba? Hmm... feeling ko kailangan naming magdebate sa klase. Masyadon lang bookish professor namin. Everything is just so biased... hmph! I miss UPLB days when students can really speak their minds out!
