The La Liga Filipina was founded by Jose Rizal in 1892 with the goals of uniting the Philippine archipelago, providing mutual protection and defense for its members, encouraging instruction, agriculture, and commerce, and studying and applying reforms.

However, it disbanded shortly after due to lack of unity among members and Rizal's exile.
