1. Why did Rizal and Del Pilar fight during their stay in Europe?

Del Pilar’s friendship and comradeship with Rizal can be gleaned through their
exchanged letters and the famous classic photographs in which both heroes stood
alongside each other.

Because they have different ideals which sparked a Rivalry between Del Pilar and
Rizal, mainly because due to Del Pilar's Editorial policy and Rizal’s Political Beliefs.

The editorial policy of La Solidaridad under Del Pilar’s management enhanced the
cleavage between Rizal and Del Pilar. Rizal and his close friends objected to the
periodical’s editorial policy which was occasionally contrary to Rizal’s political
views.

When the year 1890 was about to end, an unwanted rivalry between Rizal and Del
Pilar nonetheless arose. By the time, Del Pilar had become the owner of La
Solidardad and had taken the place of Graciano Lopez Jaena as its editor. Del
Pilar’s management and editorial policy were occasionally dissimilar to Rizal’s
political vision.
2. How did Rizal honor the GomBurZa in El Filibusterismo?

Jose Rizal devoted El Filibusterismo to the GOMBURZA, which fundamental topic

is to communicate the message that the system of government within the
Philippines represented by corrupt authorities and ruled by the friars can lead to
the ruin of the Spaniards, to GOMBURZA since they are the ones who motivated
him to do everything in the first place.

The three priests inspired the Ilustrado movement and Jose Rizal paid tribute to
them in his second novel, El Filibusterismo. In 1998, their common grave and
bones were located in Paco Cemetery. A memorial marker has been placed on the
burial site.

The execution of GOMBURZA was a turning point in our history. Rizal initially
wanted to be a Jesuit priest but when he heard about their execution, their death
awakened strong feelings of anger and resentment among Filipinos, most
especially Rizal. He dedicated ElFilibusterismo, which main theme is to convey the
message that the system of government in the Philippines governed by corrupt
officials and dominated by the friars can lead to the downfall of the Spaniards, to
GOMBURZA because they are the ones who inspired him to do everything in the
first place. Their deaths lead the rise of the book which will open our mind and
hearts that the colonization would be at end, and sparked the beginning of the
Propaganda movement.
