RIZAL LIFE AND WORKS

1. Why did Rizal and del Pilar fight during their stay in Europe?

The expatriates in Europe were having some difficulties dealing with each other even before Plaridel
arrived. Rizal who has been named as the honorary leader of the expatriates was not so happy by the
arrival of Plaridel. However this misgivings were pacified when their collaboration commenced,
especially with regards to Rizal’s work for La Solidaridad, the fortnightly newspaper, which was owned
by Plaridel. But their ideas and policies are at times dissimilar. This tension and differences among the
expatriates developed, and on New Year’s Day of 1891 a meeting was held. Another tension arose
between Rizal and Plaridel, this time on the issue of the subjugation of the Soli to the Responsable.
Plaridel rejected the provision because the Soli, according to him, was a private enterprise. This I
suppose aggravated the rivalry between these two gengentleme

2. How did Rizal honor the GomBurZa in El Filibusterismo?

The three priests inspired the Ilustrado movement and Jose Rizal paid tribute to them in his second
novel, El Filibusterismo. In 1998, their common grave and bones were located in Paco Cemetery. A
memorial marker has been placed on the burial site. He was parish priest in Mariquina when he
developed a gambling habit. He loved playing a card game popular during the Spanish period called
panguingue. He also placed bets in cockfights. ... The three priests inspired the Ilustrado movement
and Jose Rizal paid tribute to them in his second novel, El Filibusterismo. He dedicated ElFilibusterismo,
which main theme is to convey the message that the system of government in thePhilippines governed
by corrupt officials and dominated by the friars can lead to the downfall ofthe Spaniards,
to GOMBURZA because they are the ones who inspired him to do everything inthe first place.
