Jose Rizal (1861- 1896)
NATIONAL HERO OF THE PHILIPPINES (led the Filipinos to start a revolution
against the Spanish Gov.)
Born on June 19 in Calamba, Philippines.
Son of a Filipino Father and Chinese Mother
Multilingual (knew 22 languages)
Studied medicine in Manila and traveled to Spain to complete his medical degree in
1882. While in Europe, José Rizal became part of the Propaganda Movement, connecting
with other Filipinos who wanted Reform
Wrote Novels that talked about the discrimination of Spain’s colonial rule in the
Philippine. Ex: Noli Me Tangere(Touch me not/The Social Cancer), El Filibusterismo
1891(The Reign of Greed), La sodidaridad (Article)
He called for equal treatment of Filipinos, limiting the power of Spanish and
representation for the Philippines in the Spanish Parliament. Rizal claimed that only
through education the country could be saved from the domination.
Rizal went to the Philippines in 1892 and founded the Liga Filipino (Philippine League.)
They supported non-violent action even so he was exile.
In 1895, he went to Cuba as an army doctor. “Katipuna” a nationalist Filipino society
founded by Andres Bonifacio revolted. Though he had no ties to the group, he was
arrested and sentenced to death by firing squad. The execution was carried out in Manila
on December 30, 1896.
His death created more tension and the Philippines earned their independence in 1898,
though the country didn’t gain lasting independence until after World War II.
Jose Rizal remains a nationalist icon in the Philippines for helping the country take its
first steps toward independence.
