ESSAY 1
A. What impressed Rizal in Japan? Explain.
From February 28 to April 13, 1888, he was in Japan for a month and a half. He was delighted
by Japan's stunning features, the Japanese people's demeanor, and the magnificent shrines. He also
fell in love with a Japanese girl, whose beauty filled his sorrowing heart with joy and romance.

B. Describe Rizal’s relationship with O-Sei-San.


Seiko Usui, also known as O Sei San, was the daughter of a Japanese samurai. When she first
encountered Jose Rizal, she was 23 years old. He had relocated to a Spanish Legation in Tokyo's Azabu
district, where she worked regularly. During his time in Japan, she acted as his interpreter. Rizal's brief
stay in Japan proved to be one of the greatest days of his life, as he was not only enthralled by the
scenery but also fell in love with O-Sei-San. When Rizal had to depart, their love came to an end.

II. ESSAY 2
A. Describe the Chinese customs/tradition that Filipinos adopted from the Chinese.
Chinese culture has tried to infiltrate our culture for the better, from food and clothing to
superstitions and traditions. The beginning of a major influence and contribution inside Filipino
culture was the trade with China. Culinary arts was one of the great cultural contributions made by
the Chinese. Sauteed foods, rice cakes, and noodle meals (like Pancit!) were among the culinary
techniques introduced to the Filipinos.

B. Explain Rizal’s bad impression about America.


"The place par excellence of freedom, but exclusively for the whites," Rizal said of America.
Because the ship arrived from the Far East, where a cholera outbreak was rumored to be raging,
American health officials quarantined it.

III. ESSAY 3
A. Why was the case of Gertrude Becket with Rizal a different case?
Rizal stayed in the Beckett family's residence in London while annotating the Sucesos de las
Islas Filipinas, which was close to the British Museum. Gertrude, the oldest of the three Beckett
daughters, was a blue-eyed beauty with a curvy figure. Rizal was her true love. Tottie assisted him
with his sculpture and painting. Rizal, on the other hand, abruptly left London for Paris in order to
avoid Gertrude, who was madly in love with him. He may finish the Beckett sisters' group carving
before departing London. As a token of their brief relationship, he handed Gertrude the group
carving.

B. Explain Rizal’s legacy to the Filipino Women as embodied in the famous essay “Letters to the young
women of Malolos”.
Jose Rizal's legacy to Filipino women is encapsulated in his renowned essay "To the Young
Women of Malolos," in which he addresses all types of women - mothers, wives, unmarried women,
and so on – and expresses all he desires them to remember. In his letter, Rizal maintained that
women's worth was determined by their contribution to the Filipino identity, emphasizing how
motherhood mirrored motherland.

IV. ESSAY 4
A. Explain why the relationship between Rizal and Nelly Bousted dis not end up in marriage?
Unfortunately, their romance did not lead to marriage. It failed because Rizal refused to
convert to Protestantism as Nellie requested, and Nellie's mother did not approve of a physician with
insufficient paying clients to be a son-in-law. When Rizal departed Europe, the couple parted as good
friends.

B. Do you think that Rizal stopped contributing to the La Soliidaridad because of his being inactive in
the Propaganda movement and needed his time to work on his book? Justify your answer.
Yes, Rizal did stop contributing to La Solidaridad because, first, he needed time to work on
his second novel, El Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed); second, he wanted other Filipinos in Spain to
work as well; and third, he couldn't lead an organization without work solidarity.
