(History of JOSE RIZAL )

Submitted by:
(FRANCIS KARL V. HISONA/4TH YEAR/BSIT)
José Rizal called for a nonviolent revolution in the Philippines to end Spain's colonial
domination. He became a symbol for the nationalist cause after his execution in 1896.
José Rizal wrote about the inequality that accompanied Spain's colonial authority of his homeland while
living in Europe. In 1892, he returned to the Philippines, but was deported owing to his reformist zeal.
Rizal was convicted of sedition and killed on December 30, 1896, at the age of 35, despite his desire for
peaceful change. Rizal returned to Europe and continued to write, publishing El Filibusterismo (The
Reign of Greed) in 1891 as his follow-up novel. He also contributed to La Solidaridad, a publication
affiliated with the Propaganda Movement. Rizal's reforms did not involve independence; instead, he
pushed for equal treatment of Filipinos, the limitation of the influence of Spanish friars, and Philippine
representation in the Spanish Cortes (parliament).

In 1892, Rizal returned to the Philippines, believing that he needed to be there to effect change.
Despite the fact that the Liga Filipino (Philippine League), which he established, promoted nonviolent
action, Rizal was exiled to Dapitan, on the island of Mindanao. Rizal practiced medicine and took on
students during his four years in exile. Rizal requested permission to travel to Cuba as an army doctor in
1895. Although his request was granted, Katipunan, a nationalist Filipino society formed by Andres
Bonifacio, revolted in August 1896. Rizal was arrested shortly after, despite the fact that he had no ties
to the gang and was opposed to its violent methods.

The Philippines were under Spanish authority until 1898, though they did not obtain permanent
independence until after World War II. Rizal is regarded as a nationalist figure in the Philippines for his
role in assisting the country's early moves toward freedom. Every year on the 30th of December, the
entire country commemorates the death anniversary of our great national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. This is
to honor Rizal's patriotism and martyrdom, which will be commemorated with flag raising and wreath
laying rituals at Luneta Park, Rizal Shrine in Calamba and Zamboanga, and Rizal Monument in Baguio
City. As a result, the 30th of December has been designated as a national nonworking holiday. This
year's Rizal Day theme is "Rizalismo: Sandigan ng Kaunlaran, Pagkakaisa at Kapayapaan," which seems to
be relevant to the current situation, given the economic crisis and political tensions that the Filipinos are
facing. We frequently employ a theme like the one indicated above to awaken the nationalism of the
people.
