3. Write your own interpretation of this passage written by one of the
greatest Filipino epic poet, Cecilio Apostol. (4 points)
"Rest in peace in the shadows of oblivion,
Redeemer of a country in bondage!
In the mystery of the grave, do not cry,
Heed not the momentary triumph of the
Spaniard
Because if a bullet destroyed your cranium,
Likewise your idea destroyed an empire!"​


Sagot :

Answer:

In my opinion, this pasage is written for our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Rest in peace redeemer of a country in bondage means to wish peace for a deceased person who contributed greatly to set a slaved country free. Do not cry because if a bullet destroyed your cranium, likewise your idea destroyed an empire means grieve not, because even if that person died, his sacrifices would not be wasted. Even if a bullet killed him, his ideas destroyed the Spaniard's rule.

I hope it helps! Sorry natagalan :)
