Opinion:
“Rizal and Bonifacio have fought differently for the country. Although they fought in different ways they still shared a common goal and that is to free the Filipinos from the Colonization of Spaniards. Their lives were unique and remarkably different from each other.
Who wants to be compared anyway? Yeah, the statement is right. No one wants to be compared because each and every one is bounded as to be a unique being, regardless of what they do or what they have accomplished.
Rizal fought without using swords and guns. Yet he fought by writing that had been much sharper than blades, awaken the Filipino people to fight for freedom and their rights.
Bonifacio fought and launched a revolution for the Filipinos and the land. Used his sword and started the KKK to end the sufferings of his kababayan.
Yeah. Rizal and Bonifacio used different weapons, but the most important thing is that they fought for the land and for their country man. All the rest doesn’t matter at all. They are two people who fought for their country and they should be respected and not be compared.
Lastly, there are a lot of heroes even those people who were not recognized by many. The fact that they have fought our country would be enough to be consider them as one of our hero. It didn’t even require age, wealth, looks, or a pleasing personality in doing so. The only requirement is the heart to fight for the country and his/her countrymen and everything will follow.”
