04.2 - Rizal's Life: Higher Education and Life Abroad (Part 2) | Life and Works of Rizal

Grabe, ang daldal ko.

Welcome to Part 2 of the chapter 'Rizal's Life: Higher Education and Life Abroad.'

In an era when opportunities were limited for most 19th-century Filipinos, Rizal was born into a privileged family, setting him apart. This advantage allowed him to attend prestigious universities in the Philippines and undertake journeys to distant lands—an extraordinary opportunity that many of his compatriots could only dream of.

Within this chapter, we will delve into the life of Rizal as a scholar and advocate. We will trace his footsteps as he ventured across various universities, cities, and countries, uncovering how these diverse experiences contributed to shaping his outlook on the world.

Editor's Note: Kamusta! There are a few mistakes on this video (I hope this will not be a recurring theme) and I would like to apologize. I have already corrected the handout and subtitles to avoid furthermore confusion.

In 42:27, the word "met" should be used instead of "became friends." In 45:51, Rizal's criticism was focused on the lack of racial equality among African Americans, not Native Americans. In 51:17, the complete sentence should be: "Rizal spent about a year in Brussels. In Biarritz, he completed the manuscript of El Filibusterismo." And in 51:22, it should be August 1890.

I apologize again for spreading misinformation and for my stupidity.
