    Study Notes

    Lesson 2: Concept of a Hero

    • This lesson explores the concept of a hero in Filipino culture and history, examining whether the traditional definition applies to only figures like Rizal, or if it can be applied to ordinary people like millennials and Gen Z.
    • Students should have an understanding of the importance and relevance of studying Rizal, and why historical events continue to have parallels with the present.

    Instructional Objectives

    • Trace the Filipino concept of a hero/bayani throughout time.
    • Analyze the criteria set by the nation for recognizing heroes.
    • Assess Rizal's heroism using established definitions and criteria.

    Inputs

    • The term "hero" is often mistakenly viewed as an award given solely to deceased individuals.
    • Great deeds are sometimes incorrectly perceived as only achievable by heroes like Rizal.
    • This can lead to an individualistic mindset, hindering contributions to the country.
    •  Filipino society values collectivism (bayanihan) and collaborative efforts rather than individualized achievements.

    Reminder

    • Work hard.
    • Prepare for activities.
    • Communicate with your teacher/facilitator if you need clarification.

    Concept of Hero in Filipino Culture and History

    • Traditional Western definitions of hero often portray a person of illustrious background, divine descent, or distinguished accomplishments in times of danger.
    • The Filipino concept of a hero (Bayani) is broader and less focused on grandeur. Bayani were ordinary community members fulfilling daily needs.
    •  Pangangayaw(raiding) in early Philippine societies was often motivated by securing resources, avenging affronts, honouring mourning customs or earning recognition.
    • Bayani weren't lone warriors but collaborated with others, reflecting a communal approach. 
    • Bayani were characterized by bravery, boldness, quiet demeanor, and calm nature. 
    • They were also depicted as community servants.
    • Early heroes are not viewed as barbaric or bloodthirsty but as community servants; the concept of bayanihan – cooperation – is integral to this definition.

    Criteria for Recognizing Heroes

    • The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) established criteria for recognizing heroes:

      • Extent of a person's sacrifice for the country (Teodoro A. Agoncillo).
      • Motives and methods used for achieving objectives (Teodoro A. Agoncillo).
      • Moral character (Teodoro A. Agoncillo).
      • Influence on their own time or generations (Teodoro Agoncillo).
      • Promoting freedom and order in the nation (Onofre D. Corpuz).
      • Contribution to the quality of life and destiny of a nation (Onofre D. Corpuz).
      • Representing the people (Alfredo Lagmay).
      • Consideration for future generations (Alfredo Lagmay).
      • Contextualizing the hero's actions within historical events (Alfredo Lagmay).

    • The NHCP requires a 50-year waiting period before officially declaring someone a national hero.

    Rizal as a Filipino Hero

    • Jose Rizal's heroism is state-sponsored through Republic Act 1425 (Rizal Law).

    • His hero status predates World War II; already a recognized figure long before.

    • Emilio Aguinaldo, President of the First Republic declared a national day of mourning for Rizal.

    • The American colonial government promoted Rizal's heroism based on criteria such as non-violence or avoiding conflict, no opposition to American imperialism, and Rizal’s death.

    • Multiple commemorations of Rizal have been key to solidifying his current status as a hero.

    Activity

    • Reflect on the modern-day Filipino hero.
    • Evaluate if Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and frontliners meet the hero criteria, considering that a hero's actions should be assessed within their respective contexts, and based on their impact on society.
    • Determine if additional criteria are needed to reflect modern interpretations of heroism and update how present day heroes are recognized.
