    José Rizal (1861-1896) was a Filipino nationalist, writer, and revolutionary who played a key

    role in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. He is considered a national
    hero in the Philippines. Rizal was a polymath who excelled in various fields such as
    literature, medicine, and sociology.

    Here are some key points about his life and contributions:

    1. Education and Early Life: Born on June 19, 1861, in Calamba, Laguna, Rizal came
    from a well-to-do family. He studied in Manila and later in Europe, where he earned
    degrees in medicine and philosophy.
    2. Literary Contributions: Rizal wrote several works that exposed the abuses of
    Spanish colonial rule and inspired Filipino nationalism. His most famous novels are
    "Noli Me Tangere" (1887) and its sequel "El Filibusterismo" (1891). These novels
    depicted the social injustices and sparked the Filipino nationalist movement.
    3. Advocacy and Reform: Rizal was an advocate for peaceful reform rather than violent
    revolution. He called for the Philippines to become a province of Spain with equal
    rights for Filipinos. He founded La Liga Filipina, a progressive organization
    advocating for these reforms.
    4. Exile and Execution: Due to his outspoken views and influence, Rizal was exiled to
    Dapitan in Mindanao for four years. Despite his calls for peaceful reforms, he was
    implicated in the Philippine Revolution led by the Katipunan, a revolutionary society.
    He was arrested, tried for sedition, and executed by firing squad on December 30,
    1896, in Manila.
    5. Legacy: Rizal's martyrdom galvanized the revolutionary movement, and he is
    remembered as a national hero. His life and works continue to be studied and
    celebrated in the Philippines and beyond. Rizal Day, observed on December 30, is a
    national holiday in the Philippines.

    Rizal's contributions to Philippine society and his advocacy for human rights and national
    identity have made him a symbol of Filipino pride and resilience.
