    BACKGROUND (WHY, WHERE, WHEN, HOW)

    El Amor Patrio is the first essay written by Jose Rizal as a propagandist means Love of

    Country. It was the first published work of Rizal that appeared in Diariong Tagalog in

    Manila. Jose Rizal was displeased with the intellectual environment at the Universidad

    de Santo Tomás. He had to leave the Philippines because of repression, and with

    Paciano’s help, he arranged for Jose Rizal to continue his medical studies in Spain.

    Before Jose Rizal left the Philippines for the first time on May 3, 1882, for Spain, Basilio

    Teodoro, managing editor of the Diariong Tagalog, a new established bilingual

    newspaper, asked him to send articles for publication. After arriving in Barcelona in

    June, he wrote it and sent it to Manila for his family during his three-month stay.

    CHARACTER OF JOSE RIZAL

    Rizal wrote at the age of twenty-one shortly after his arrival in Spain even before being

    subjected as a university student to the full impact of liberal thought, in the study of

    development of his political thought. He was primarily not a philosopher nor theologian,

    but a political ideologue and reformer. El Amor Patrio was penned in the first months he

    was overseas under the pseudonym Laong Laan on 20 August 1882. He wrote under

    the pseudonyms “Laong Laan” which means “kept in reserve for a purpose for a long

    time” when he contributed poems and articles in the 1890s for La Solidaridad, the

    medium of the Propaganda Movement, and as “Dimasalang” which means

    “untouchable” when he wrote articles as a Freemason. Rizal's religious thought was

    developed, how from a pious student at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila and the

    University of Santo Tom, much given to prayer and religious practices of the Catholic

    Church and devoted to the Blessed Mother, he became enamored by the


    Enlightenment. Rizal was motivated with liberal politics, took to the principles of

    philosophical rationalism, he enrolled in the Universidad Central de Madrid, much

    influenced by liberal thought. Rizal's religious ideas and his engagement in religious

    debate were in function of his politics. He moved from assimilation to reformism; in

    moments of anger, he thought of revolution; but in the end he opted for 'laying the

    foundations of the nation’ by returning to his country, working directly with the people,

    and founding the Liga filipina.

    REFLECTION

    During his trip, it was freeing for the young and impressionable Rizal as he saw peoples

    of many different races, heard numerous languages, saw beautiful and strange

    landscapes, and had time to recover the inner peace and optimism he had lost over the

    last several years. Rizal showed us that we, Filipinos, had our own native land to love

    and that land was the Philippines, not Spain. Rizal’s love for the motherland meant

    absolute independence for our country. There are many reasons behind that deep

    fondness for his land of birth.

    EFFECTS OF RIZAL’S MORALS AND VALUES ON OUR CURRENT SOCIETY

    Rizal’s morals and values contributed in our nation and helped us to be awakened in

    our sense of patriotism and nationalism. His values such as, honesty, integrity, peace

    based on justice and patriotism will make us capable in achieving great things in life.

    Because of his morals and values, we learned to not just accept the injustices that we

    are facing in our country but fight for it in a right way. We are inspired by Rizal, until
    today Filipinos apply his virtues that we know and will help us to lead this generation to

    continue and finish what he began forming a nation where every Filipino is truly free.
