Second Homecoming of
Jose P. Rizal
•Rizal’s bold return Manila in June, 1892 was his
second
homecoming
•Rizal firmly believed that the fight for Filipino liberties
had assumed a new phase: it must have fought the
Philippines not in Spain. “The battlefield is in the
Philippines,” he told countrymen in Europe, “There is
where we should meet…
•There we will help one another, there together we will
suffer or triumph perhaps.”
