change Philippine society for the better, first by illuminating the problems that plagued it and
then by rousing the nation's young people. Rizal was motivated to write the novel by an
unending love for the Philippines, and he did it in order to shed light on the social problems that
existed in the Philippines during Spanish colonial rule. In a personal letter to his friend

delicate perversity and smiling cruelty. Because of this, Jose Rizal is frequently referred to as the
"Father of Filipino Nationalism" and the "First Filipino." This is not because he was instrumental
in the establishment of an independent Philippine state; rather, it is because he was
instrumental in the creation of the conceptualization of "Filipino" as an ethnopolitical collective
or as "a people," or, in the language of nationalism, "the people." In other words, Rizal's
intellectual and idealistic support for Philippine Independence led to him being hailed as the
"founder" of "Philippine nationalism." Because of his dedication to his country and the length of
time he lived, he was able to bring the Filipino people together after he passed away.
