assumed a new phase: it must be fought in the Philippines not in
Spain. “The battlefield is in the Philippines,” Rizal told fellow
Filipinos in Europe, “There is where we should meet… There we
will help one another, there together we will suffer or triumph
perhaps.”

Lucia (wife of late Mariano Herbosa) arrived in Manila. Rizal
founded La Liga Filipina and also went to Malacaǹang to seek
audience with the Governor -General Eulogio Despujol.
