Explain
Rizal decided to leave Paris in January 1890 for Brussels for two reasons. (1)
the high costs of living; and (2) because of too many invitations to social gatherings,
which hampered his literary works, particularly his second novel, El Filibusterismo.
In spite of protests from his family and friends, Jose Rizal decided to return
home. On June 26, 1892, accompanied by his sister Lucia, Rizal arrived in Manila.
For the following reasons: (1) he wanted to discuss with Governor-General Eulogio
Despujol about his Borneo project; and (2) to establish La Liga Filipina in the
Philippines.

Elaborate
 Rizal started to write his second novel in October 1887, while he was in
Calamba and finished it in Biarritz on March 29, 1891. It took him three years
to write his second novel and the next thing on his mind was to publish the
novel. Owing to his generous friend Valentin Ventura, he was able to print
the novel on September 18, 1891 at Ghent, Belgium (“Jose Rizal:
Correspondence with Fellow Reformists”, 2011).
 The El FIlibusterismo expressed the theme of Philippine nationalismin a most

profound and dramatic manner to arouse the spirits of frustrated people. The
Novel presented
 According to Charles Debyshire (1974), the EL Fili contains a more mature

perspective of political and social condition in the Philippines, and “less
hopeful tone reflects” his discouragement and anger over the Spanish
attitude towards the reforms they been asking for the Philippines.
 Soon after the publication of El Filibusterismo, Rizal left Ghent for Paris to bid
farewell to his friends. After a while, he boarded a train to Marseilles and
boarded the steamer Melbourne bound for Hong Kong. He lived there from
November 20, 1891 to June 21, 1892. He left Europe because his life there
became unbearable after of his political differences with M.H. del Pilar and
other Filipinos in Spain. He also wanted to be near to be Philippines and
family.
 On July 3, 1892, Rizal attended a meeting with several Filipinos at the home
of Doroteo Ongjunco. Among those present were Apolinario Mabini
(Katabay), Andres Bonifacio, Pedro Serrano (Panday Pira), Jose A. Ramos
(Socorro), Deodato Arellano, Agustin de la Rosa, Ambrosio Salvador and
otherpatriots.
 In the meeting, Rizal explained the La Liga as a civic league of Filipinos,
whose desire was to establish a role in the socio-economic life of the people.
 The La Liga Filipina has the following aims:
1. Unification of the archipelago into a compact and homogenous body;

2. Mutual protection in every want and necessity;
3. Defense against all violence and injustice;
4. Encouragement of instruction, agriculture, and commerce; and
5. Study and application of reforms.

As the La Liga gained favorable audience on that same night, new officers of
the league were elected.
Ambrosio Salvador – President
Agustin de la Rosa – Fiscal
Bonifacio Arevalo – Treasurer
Deodato Arellano – Secretary
 Rizal’s exile in Dapitan lasted from 1892 to 1896. His four years in Dapitan
was abundantly fruitful. He continued to better himself by his practice of
medicine, pursuit of scientific studies, continuing his artistic and literary
works, and widening his knowledge of languages. By this time Rizal exile was
finished, he became knowledgeable of 22 languages and dialects, including
Bisaya, Malay and Subanon,
 Rizal’s behavior and talents brought positive impressions on Spanish Captain
Ricardo Carnicero, and his successor Captain Juan Sitges who replaced
Carniero on May 1893.

Prayer before Study

by St. Thomas Aquinas
C reator of all things, true Source of light and wisdom, lofty origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of Your brilliance penetrate into the darkness of my
understanding and take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, an
obscurity of both sin and ignorance.
Give me a sharp sense of understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to

grasp things correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations, and the ability to express
myself with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in completion; through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Prayer after Study
T hank You, Lord God, for opening my eyes to the light of Your wisdom. You
have delighted my heart with the knowledge of truth. I ask You, Lord, help me
always to do Your will.
Bless my soul and body, my words and actions.
Grant that I may grow in grace, wisdom and virtue, that Your name may always be
glorified, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
