What did Rizal do in Europe

 According to Guerero (1998) Rizal was not only in Europe to write letters to foreign
friends and attend parties, he was there to study and eventually campaign for reforms.
His stay exposed him to different cultures and practices, good and bad. And through
these he was also able to formulate ideas as to what reforms are needed in his home
country, among them having a free press. Rizal and his convictions were a product of his
European experience. Readers of history should see that along with Rizal’s return to the
Philippines was the arrival of his European-inspired thoughts. He chose the English city
to be his new home for 3 reasons which are to improve his knowledge of the English
language, to study and annotate Morga’s Sucesos de las eslas filipinas and London
