Until Where Can Rizal Go?
Singapore, Spain, China, France and Belgium. These are some countries that our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal had travelled. There were many places and countries that Rizal had toured for a certain reasons. But how about Rizal designed in our one peso coin? Until where can he go?
Piso Net
Before you can surf, you will need an internet connection and it takes a great amount of money to buy a desktop or a laptop to search for the assigned homework and projects. But with the creation of the so called “Piso Net”, you will just need one peso that could last for four minutes to research for a certain topic.
Food
Inside the campus of College of Saint Benilde (CSB) some foods are expensive. It’s impossible that your one peso could buy your lunch and sometimes your 100 pesos is not enough. Even outside the campus your one peso is not also enough to buy a burger in Zark’s Burger or even in McDonald’s but still, there are food that Rizal could buy. Some of these are candies, cheap chips like Tattoos or Boy Bawang, bubble gums and lollipops. Rizal could also go to your what so called “tusok-tusok” like kikiam or fish ball.
Print and Photocopy
Most of the reaction or reflection papers and assignments of the students were required to be type written. There is a one peso print in front of the University Mall (U-mall) for one page of a black and white document and if you wish to have more copies, there is also a photocopy that costs only one peso in a certain photocopying stores.
School Stuff
Rizal is still important to the Filipinos because there are things that he could buy. One peso could be equal to two pieces of bond paper, a piece of yellow pad, graphing paper, index card or a carbon paper.
Wager at Fairs
When going to amusements like Tom’s World, World of Fun and Quantum, your Rizal brings happiness to you especially to the kids. Your Rizal could be surrendered to a slot machine for a chance to win the tickets or the other Rizal.
Payphone
If there is any emergency or you want to talk to someone, your one peso could connect you to that person. There are payphones that need only one peso which is equal to one minute per call
Now, we could realize that still, Rizal could go anywhere and buy the things that bring joy to you. As we all know, without a peso, one million could not be complete just like in our Philippine history, without Rizal, independence will not be felt by the Filipinos.
