1.Differences between the 8 most important literarypiece of dr. Jose Rizal

To the Filipino Youth
For Dr. José Rizal, the well-respected
national hero of the Philippines, “the
pen is mightier than the sword.”
Through his literary masterpieces, he
voiced strong opposition to the abuse of
Spaniards and conveyed messages that
he hoped would inspire his fellow
countrymen. We round up his best
works and uncover the underlying
meaning behind them.

To the Filipino Youth

Goodbye to Leonor
Rizal wrote this literary poem when he
was still studying at the University of
Sto. Tomas (UST). Originally written in
Spanish (A la juventud filipina), Rizal
submitted this piece for a poem contest
organized for Filipinos by the Manila
Lyceum of Art and Literature. At the age
of 18, this work is beaming with strong
messages to convince readers, the
youth in particular, that they are the
hope of the nation.
This literary piece gives an insight into
the romantic relationship of Rizal and
his beloved, Leonor Rivera. The two met
when in the province of Dagupan when
Rivera was only 13-years-old. Rivera’s
parents were not in favor of their
relationship and though distance
separated them, the two kept in touch
by sending letters and photographs to
each other. Rizal later found out that
her lady love would soon tie the knot
with Henry Kipping, and the news
definitely disheartened him. The lonely,
heartbreaking feelings he felt, resulted
in this melancholic poem.
To the Young Women Addressed to the
of Malolos Filipino women,
Rizal’s letter entitled
To The Young Women
of Malolos reflects his
inheritance and issues
reminders to Filipino
women. In his letter,
he addresses all kinds
of Filipino women –
mothers, wives, and
even the single
women. Throughout
this literary piece, he
highlights the qualities
that Filipino mothers
should possess, the
duties of wives to
their husbands and
children, and a
counsel on how young
women should choose
their lifetime partners.

Kundiman A kundiman traditionally refers to a love

 song where a man serenades the
woman he loves. For scholars, this word
was derived from the Tagalog phrase
“Kung Hindi man” (if it should not be so)
which suggests that people put their
faith in a Higher Being who decides
whether or not something is meant for
them. But in Rizal’s literary work, he
wrote a kundiman to profess his intense
love for his motherland.
Junto Al Pasig When translated into English, the title
of this work means Beside Pasig River.
In response to the Jesuits’ request, Rizal
wrote this one-act play in the Spanish
language for the velada – a gala variety
program during the principal feast days.
The play centers around Leonido (a
young Filipino who has a strong faith in
the Virgin) and the Diwata/Satan, which
symbolizes the Spanish oppression
towards Filipinos.
Noli Me Tángere
Noli me Tangere is the first novel
written by Filipino patriot and
national l Dr. José P. Rizal in 1887
and published in Germany. The story
line goes detailed with the society of
the Philippines during Spanish
colonial period and features
aristocracy behind poverty and
abuse of colonialists.
EL FILIBUSTERISMO El Filibusterismo, also known by its
English title The Reign of Greed, is the
second novel written by Jose Rizal and
 the sequel to Noli Me Tangere.
Published in 1891, it continues the
Noli's criticisms of the abuses and
corruption perpetrated by the Spanish
government.

Mi último adiós After being associated with the

Katipuneros, Rizal was arrested and
later sentenced to death by firing squad
for acts of sedition and rebellion. During
his final days in Fort Santiago of Manila,
Rizal bid farewell to his motherland and
countrymen through letters. Mi último
adiós or My Last Farewell is one of the
few last works that Rizal wrote.
