For the integration project of the course "RZL110-The Life and Works of Rizal”,
the students are asked to make a project that would incorporate their knowledge and
learnings/lessons that have been acquired from this course. Any creative form is
possible here as long as Rizal should be discussed and well-presented in a way that will
get and catch the attention of the Filipino youth, specifically the college students. Since
we are in a modern era, there are so many possible ways due to the presence of
way that will touch the personal thoughts, ideas, perspectives, or opinions of the
students. After we had a meeting with the group, we came up with a decision with the
project that is easy to produce and efficient to create. In this case, the group had come
with an agreement that the project must be related in the modern period. Since the
students are discussing about the reflections in this course, the group would like to use
spanning July 2021 to global podcast consumption, the total number of podcast
listeners throughout the globe has been gradually growing and is expected to continue
doing so. There are 332.2 million internet users worldwide who listened to podcasts in
the year 2020, but that figure has increased to 383.7 million in the year 2021 (Gotting,
2022). As a result of the rise in demand for podcasts, an increasing number of people
and small organizations are beginning to use this distribution method. Additionally,
significant firms are making efforts to establish their television series. According to the
research that is conducted by Insider Intelligence, there will be 424.2 million podcast
listeners throughout the globe by the year 2022. This is a projection that podcast
listeners will account for 20.3% of all internet users by that year (Wise, 2022).
To put this definition into Layman's terms, you could say that a podcast is a focused
broadcast in the video and the audio format that discusses a specific theme that the
listener finds attractive. The number of hosts on a podcast can also vary in either some
prefer to work alone, or while others prefer to work in groups. A podcast offers the
countless opportunities since it enables listeners to form more robust associations with
the subject. Unlike the radio and talk shows, it is not performed in a formal
environment, and it allows the hosts to speak informally so that they may speak to a
particular audience.
The students believed that through a podcast, we could deliver and be able to
share and discuss our opinions, perspectives, and learnings of Rizal. A podcast is a
great way to use during this kind of discussion because we interact through the
different stories and different experiences. Believe it or not, many people can only
handle taking the little pieces of information without zoning out. Through the
feeling of a good podcast takes its listener on their journey. Here, the students could
talk about each other's perspectives, opinions, learnings, and takeaways regarding
learning the teachings of Rizal. This does benefit not only the listeners, but also the
audience as well. The students believe that a podcast is the most suitable tool for this
project because it humanizes the topic outside the reigns of an academic setting while
making it digestible and easier to consume. The group members believe that a podcast
can make it more relatable through a conversation or a discussion. The podcast aims to
make it easier for the host to share their thoughts, opinions, perspectives, and learnings
Students should study Rizal as someone who was just like them, a Filipino who
suffered at the hands of those at the top. Above importantly, the study should show
how the typical Filipino can understand, relate to and learn from him. The study should
demonstrate that they comprehend, understand him outside of textbooks and lectures.
There is nothing more to offer to the study of Rizal's life. There are hundreds of books
and studies have previously been produced about his life, his works and his activities.
Our project would be unneeded if we presented it in the way of our talks. Moreover,
studying Dr. Jose Rizal’s life is already enough and we cannot add or erase the other
things about him. Being a student who studied The Life and Works of Rizal, the words
that is written on the books that he made is enough for us to gain knowledge on how
interesting terms were expressed to which even comes a change of viewpoint, such as
sensing the value of appreciation being as a Filipino. This such discussion is made such
as the learnings ideologies and valuing the essence of time put in the work we do and
act unto the everyday life. What is unique regarding to this podcast is that the motion it
gives resembles to what structure a student’s mind to function, it shows how the span
of two months with the best effort to have knowledge of Rizal can actually impact a lot
to care about as they move on to new heights from time to time. The environment does
settle into a chilling environment but more progressive into compromising Rizal’s
