 Finally, answer the question: “How does Rizal and his work relate to Philippine
nationalism?” in no less than 200 words.
Most people think of Jose Rizal as a nationalist of the Filipino people. He is a writer who inspired
people to support the cause of Philippine independence. The patriotism of Rizal is unselfish and
all-encompassing. He openly expressed his love for the Philippines by supporting significant
improvements during the Spanish colonial period. The majority of his writings, which appeared in
papers and magazines, focused on personal freedoms and autonomy, particularly for Filipinos. He
didn't use force to defend the Filipinos; in the end, he chose to use a pen rather than a sword. His
written works, such as "Noli Me Tángere" and "El filibusterismo," are just a couple of the many
books he produced that have helped Filipinos see what is going on in their nation as well as the
abuse, desecration, and ruthlessness that Filipinos experienced during Spanish colonization.
Many Filipinos now admire his strategy of writing about the harsh double-dealing of the Spanish
government on the Philippines to fight against it. He is an example of a loyalist who uses words
rather than violence to make his points. His methods for defending our nation had an impact on
many Filipinos, particularly the young people of today.
