2. Explain what Al Junto Pasig is, including its context and purpose. Identify and differentiate the religious ideas of the play's main characters, Candida and Pascual. Analyze the play's central conflict as a reflection of different attitudes towards belief. Interpret Rizal's deeper, more personal message about faith and sincerity. Connect the themes in the play to Rizal's later, more complex writings and his critique of religious rituals. At the end of the lesson the student must;

3. What is Al Junto Pasig?

4. Background A one-act zarzuela (a Spanish musical play) written by Jose Rizal in 1880, at the age of 19. It was a celebratory piece for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, performed by students of Ateneo Municipal. Purpose: The play was not just a religious homage; it served as a subtle commentary on personal belief versus institutional dogma, a theme that would define Rizal's later works.

5. The Main Characters Candida: Embodies a pure, childlike faith. Her belief is sincere and requires no physical proof. Pascual: Represents a more skeptical, worldly perspective. He is a foil to Candida, seeking tangible evidence for his faith. Leonido: The young hero who stands firm in his belief against the forces of temptation. Satan: The antagonist who questions the authenticity of Christian faith and represents a pre-colonial, pagan ideology.

6. The Two Sides of Belief Sincere Faith (Candida & Leonido): Their faith is rooted in devotion and sincerity. It is an internal, spiritual connection. It is not swayed by doubt or external threats. Skeptical Faith (Pascual): His approach is based on a need for validation and proof. His faith is more fragile and susceptible to doubt because it lacks a deep, personal foundation. Central Conflict: The true drama of the play is not just good versus evil, but the battle between a genuine, internal faith and one that is external and dependent on miracles.

7. A Personal View on Religion Beyond the Obvious: While the play is a devotional work, Rizal's message is complex. He suggests that true faith is not a result of forced conversion or grand spectacle, but a product of personal conviction. True Piety: The play subtly elevates sincere and personal belief over strict, unthinking adherence to religious ritual. Foreshadowing: This early play hints at Rizal's later, more critical views on the religious institutions of his time, as seen in his novels.

8. Summary: Al Junto Pasig is a sophisticated, layered work. It explores the essential conflict between internal faith and external ritual. Rizal's message is a call for a more sincere and personal approach to one's spirituality. Final Question: How can Rizal's ideas in this early play help us understand his views on the role of religion in society?
