Who Was Jose Rizal?
Jose Rizal was a writer. He composed all of these pieces in addition to letters, diary entries, and some other speeches. He was a major advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. His works and his words made him a major target during the revolution, and he was put on trial and executed for his beliefs, making him a martyr of the revolution. When he was put to death, he was only 35 years ago. He had achieved so much as a young man, that we can only imagine that he would have accomplished had he been given the opportunity.
