Essay on Rizal's Reforms
Rizal’s Program of Reforms

Political Idea #2: Granting and protection of human rights such as freedom of press, freedom of speech and expression, religious freedom, equal protection before the law and freedom of association.

This topic relates as much in the present because of the anti-cybercrime law that the government made. It is now on hold because there were many who opposed in implementing this law. The main reason in opposing the said law is the freedom of speech and expression and the freedom of press which is also in conflict with another existing law.

My opinion regarding this matter is that the government should become specific on what this law contains and have limitations to what it should prevent. I have not read the whole statement but I have heard from the news that there are preventions they wanted to do that is not necessary to prevent. They should not get involved in the social networking sites. They should be focusing on malicious sites and others that could harm the netizens and those who are committing crime through it. I am not against the intention but I think that there are more reasons inside this law other than keeping the people safe from cyber-bullying or preventing crime through the internet.

What’s the point of having this law if even those who made it do not know what they are implementing?

If they are to put into action Rizal’s reforms regarding human rights, they should be appropriate, precise and honest in implementing such programs for the good of the people of the

Through the internet, manufacturers are able to communicate with consumers, hence personalizing and expanding their market niche. As such, censoring social media violates an individual`s right to trade and earn a living which is a fundamental human need.…

    Today, internet is the most helpful technology which is used worldwide among the society. It helps us in our everyday life because it is utilised by people of all ages in various aspects of life. Internet is also used to communicate among each other, such as sending emails and messages. Other than that, for example if someone has a distant relationship or even families from other countries, there is also a website called Skype, where we can see and talk to each other through the computer. Facebook is also another website where people keep in touch with others and are able to make new friends. According to the statistics shown from December 1995 to June 2012, there is an increase of approximately 2,400 million internet users from all over the world (Internet World Stats, 2012). This clearly shows that internet has played a big role in helping us in many ways. In recent years, internet censorship has been a globally discussed topic among governments as well as the public. There are a few of the internet users that want some of the internet information to be censored. Contrary to common belief that internet content can be damaging and should be censored, censorship in the internet should not be encouraged because it impacts the growth of economy, freedom of speech and expansion of knowledge.…

    The Diary of Jose Rizal

    Night, I don't know what vague melancholy, an indefinable loneliness, smothers my soul. It is similar to the profound sadness that cities manifest after a tumultuous rejoicing, to a city after the happiest celebration. Two nights ago, that is, 30 December, I had a frightful nightmare when I almost died.1 I dreamed that, imitating an actor dying on the stage, I felt vividly that my breath was failing and I was rapidly losing my strength. Then my vision became dim and dense darkness enveloped me -- they were the pangs of death. I wanted to shout and ask for help from Antonio Paterno, feeling that I was about to die. I awoke weak and breathless.…

    "People use the internet as a database for their most private information. A large number of citizens use digital banking, complete their taxes on the internet, and may even upload private family information for various reasons. Although the internet is regularly used as a means of sharing with friends and family, as well as a more efficient way to perform daily activities, it is commonly perceived as unsafe.

    Verma and Raman Mittal in their book “Legal Dimensions of Cyber Space” have explained the basic concepts of cyberspace like types, features and major components of computers; history and development of internet; merits and limitations of internet; various computer contaminants like virus, worms, Trojans etc. They further suggest that not only we need to be computer-literate, but we also need to understand the myriad issues that surround our extensive and necessary dependence on computers. Commenting on the interlink of human-conflicts-law, they states that where humans are, crime and conflict of interests cannot be far behind, further, where crime and conflict of interests are, law must necessarily march in order to take control and regulate. Thus, they have made a detailed study on the indispensable role of computer and internet, and the resultant cyber…

    On February 28, 1888, a year after the publication of Noli Me Tangere, and six months after his arrival in the Philippines, José Rizal sailed from Manila again, by "advice" of the government. The letters he wrote back home show how his heart ached at going, yet his judgment told him that it was best for him to go. The phenomenal effect of Noli Me Tangere made it clear that Rizal could wield a mighty influence through his pen, but to write the truth he would have to go to some country where he would be free from spies or plots. The spot he chose was the Library of the British Museum, the greatest library in the world.…

    These days the Internet has advanced at an alarming rate in the last 20 years. The Internet is an electronic communications platform that connects computer networks around the world. It is commonly recognised that Internet can help people finish what they would like to. Although plenty of people feel that Internet should not be controlled because people can freely access to information and the government can have less control over people thinking, it will be argued that Internet ought to be controlled for three main reasons: some negative information such as violent and pornographic contents are appeared on the Internet, Internet can exert the negative effects of national security, and some lawbreakers commit a crime via the Internet.…
