Contribution
Rizal pursued a degree in medicine at the Universidad Central de Madrid,
where he was exposed to European culture and ideas. He also witnessed the
injustices suffered by Filipinos living in Spain and developed a deep sense of
nationalism. It was during his stay in Madrid that he wrote his famous novel
"Noli Me Tangere", which exposed the abuses of the Spanish colonial
government in the Philippines.
Rizal continued his medical studies at the University of Paris, where he
also studied art, literature, and other subjects. He met many prominent
intellectuals and thinkers, including Juan Luna, Felix Hidalgo, and
Ferdinand Blumentritt. It was in Paris that he completed his second
novel, "El Filibusterismo", which further criticized Spanish colonial rule
in the Philippines.
Rizal studied ophthalmology in Berlin and received his doctorate in
medicine. He also observed the German system of education, which he
believed could be adapted for use in the Philippines. He wrote articles
about his observations and experiences, which were published in
Philippine and European newspapers.

Hong Kong (1891) After his exile from the Philippines in 1892, Rizal traveled to Hong Kong,
where he continued to write and participate in the Philippine nationalist
movement. He founded the La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that
aimed to unite Filipinos and fight for their rights.

Japan (1888) Rizal visited Japan for a brief period, where he observed the Japanese
culture and society. He admired the discipline and order of the
Japanese, and believed that the Philippines could learn from their
example.

American society and government. He expressed admiration for the
American system of government, but also criticized the treatment of
African Americans and Native Americans.

country. He was particularly impressed by the Italian Renaissance and
its emphasis on humanism and individualism.

named Ferdinand Blumentritt. Blumentritt became a close friend and
mentor to Rizal, and the two corresponded frequently about Philippine
culture, history, and politics.

technology in education, and believed that the Philippines could benefit
from adopting similar methods.

Singapore (1882) Rizal stopped briefly in Singapore on his way to Europe. He observed
the multicultural society of the city-state, which he believed could serve
as a model for unity and tolerance in the Philippines.

Brunei (1888) Rizal visited Brunei and observed the Malay culture and society. He
noted the similarities between Malay and Philippine cultures, and
believed that the two peoples could learn from each other.
