Why Rizal wrote El Filibusterismo?
El Fillibusterismo was written by Dr. Jose Rizal as a
Sequel for his famed work " Noli Me Tangere "
which sparked the philippine revolt against the
spaniard. Dr. Jose Rizal wrote El Filibusterismo in
dedication to the three martyred priests Mariano
Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora, Expressing
conviction that their treatment and deaths at the
hands of the spanish authorities was unjust.
Like Noli Me Tangere, El Fili aims at enlightening the
society, at bringing the Filipinos closer to the truth. But
whereas in the first novel, we are encouraged to ask and
aspire for change and liberation, in this novel, the society
is urged to open its eyes to reality and rebel against the
Spanish government for its oppression and abuse.
