Padre Faura Witnesses Rizal's Execution, a poem by Danton Remoto, is the text. A poem is a complete and self-contained work of verse that is written in a fixed number of lines and employs rhythm, imagery, and frequently rhyme to accomplish its effect.
José Rizal, also known as José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, was a Filipino nationalist and polymath during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. Rizal began his career as an ophthalmologist before becoming a writer and a leader of the Filipino Propaganda Movement, which pushed for political reforms in the colony under Spanish rule. From 1521 through 1898, the Philippines were under Spanish colonization. After the Philippine Revolution, which was sparked in part by his writings, he was executed by the Spanish colonial authorities for the crime of insurrection. Despite the fact that he was not actively involved in its organization or execution, he finally approved of its objectives, which resulted to Philippine independence. A backup group of regular Spanish Army troops stood ready to kill the executioners if they failed to heed orders moments before his death by a squad of Filipino soldiers of the Spanish Army on December 30, 1896.
Padre Faura's reaction to Rizal's execution is the subject of this text. Some of the topics Padre Faura and Jose Rizal discussed are also included in the text. The writer placed himself in front of Padre Faura's eyes and spoke about the execution. Padre Faura observed Rizal's state or mood prior to the execution and determined that Rizal was not afraid to die because he did the right thing.
Colonization, a widespread activity prior to the twenty-first century, is one culture that can be mirrored. Spain, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and the United States of America possessed the most colonies. It represents the fact that the Philippines had not yet achieved independence at the time. Filipinos felt oppressed by foreigners, which is why they decided to struggle for independence.
