Write a 4-Paragraph Reflection Paper about Dr.

Jose Rizal's 2nd

Homecoming, his plans, projects and socio-political actions.

truest sense of unity and solidarity against violence and deprivation. He liked to
prove to Eduardo de Lete that the criticism published against him in La
Solidaridad had no basis but only pure speculation.

4:00 o'clock, he went to Malacañan Palace to seek audience with the Spanish

governor general, General Eulogio Despujol, Conde de Caspe. He was told to

come back at the night at 7:00 o'clock. Promptly at 7:00 pm he returned to

Malacañan and was able to confer with Governor General Despujol, who agreed

Wednesday. rs e
