“Rizal’s Sense of Nationalism”

 He emphasized the importance of the Tagalog language and its impact

upon the Philippines.
 He was openly criticized of the friars.
 He defended Filipino civil rights.
 He discovered the power of the pen.
 He conceived a form of gradual nationalism.

He defended Filipino civil right

 Rizal’s main mission in life was to fight social inequity. He couldn’t stop
thinking about liberating his fellow Filipinos. He was always willing to
struggle for independence, and I believe that his Filipino spirit has left an
unforgettable mark on all Filipinos around the world. Whenever our
people are represented, we prefer to show our Filipino pride. Rizal had
outstanding qualities without a doubt. History would never forget his
patriotism.
