    RIZAL: WORKS AND WRITINGS

    Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, was a prolific writer and intellectual who played a crucial
    role in the country's struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule. His works and writings can be
    categorized into three main phases:

    1. **Early Life and Education:**

    Rizal's early writings reflect his education and life experiences. Notable works from this period include:

    - **"Noli Me Tangere" (Touch Me Not):** This novel exposed the injustices and abuses of Spanish friars
    and government officials in the Philippines. It was published in 1887 and is considered a catalyst for the
    Philippine Revolution.

    - **"El Filibusterismo" (The Reign of Greed):** A sequel to "Noli Me Tangere," this novel, published in
    1891, continued to criticize Spanish oppression and corruption.

    2. **Political Activism:**

    As Rizal became more involved in the Philippine nationalist movement, his writings took on a more
    political tone. Key works during this period include:

    - **"La Liga Filipina":** A civic organization he founded in 1892, aimed at uniting Filipinos and
    promoting social reforms.

    - **"Mi Último Adiós" (My Last Farewell):** A heartfelt and patriotic poem written on the eve of his
    execution in 1896, expressing his love for the Philippines and his desire for its freedom.

    3. **Exile and Martyrdom:**

    Rizal's writings during his exile in Dapitan and until his execution included personal letters, essays, and
    poems, highlighting his unwavering commitment to the Filipino cause. Examples of such writings include
    letters to his family and friends and various essays on history and society.

    Rizal's writings and actions inspired a generation of Filipinos to stand up against Spanish colonial rule and
    laid the groundwork for the eventual Philippine Revolution. His works continue to be studied and
    revered for their enduring impact on Philippine history and the quest for freedom.
