José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda è stato un poeta, scrittore, rivoluzionario, scultore, pittore, oculista e linguista filippino.

Considerato il più grande eroe filippino e de facto un eroe nazionale, la sua vita e le sue opere furono ispiratrici del movimento nazionalista filippino. L'esecuzione e la conseguente morte nel 1896 lo hanno reso uno dei martiri della rivoluzione filippina. L'anniversario della sua morte è oggi considerato giorno di festa nazionale nelle Filippine.

Rizal studiò all'Università Ateneo de Manila, ottenendo un bachelor nelle arti. Si iscrisse a medicina e filosofia all'Università di Santo Tomás per poi andare a Madrid, dove continuò a studiare presso l'Università Complutense di Madrid, ottenendo il titolo di licenziato in medicina. In seguito frequentò l'Università di Parigi e poi l'Università di Heidelberg. Si laureò in tre anni sia in medicina che in lettere e filosofia. Uomo d'ingegno e talento universale, oltre al tagalog sapeva parlare almeno altre dieci lingue. Era anche un poeta lirico, tra le sue opere figurano i romanzi Noli me tangere ed El filibusterismo.

Come figura politica, era leader di un'associazione di riforma non violenta, la lega filippina. La sua morte e le sue attività politiche furono ispiratrici della rivoluzione filippina, guidata da Andrés Bonifacio e poi da Emilio Aguinaldo. Wikipedia

Letter to the Young Women of Malolos

“Fame to be sweet must resound in the ears of those we love, in the atmosphere of the land that will guard our ashes. Fame should hover over our tomb to warm with its heat the chill of death, so that we may not be completely reduced to nothingness, that something of us may survive.”

Letter to his family, Dapitan (c. 1884)

“No, let us not make God in our image, poor inhabitants that we are of a distant planet lost in infinite space. However brilliant and sublime our intelligence may be, it is scarcely more than a small spark which shines and in an instant is extinguished, and it alone can give us no idea of that blaze, that conflagration, that ocean of light.”

El Filibusterismo

“He who knows the surface of the earth and the topography of a country only through the examination of maps.. is like a man who learns the opera of Meyerbeer or Rossini by reading only reviews in the newspapers. The brush of landscape artists Lorrain, Ruysdael, or Calame can reproduce on canvas the sun's ray, the coolness of the heavens, the green of the fields, the majesty of the mountains…but what can never be stolen from Nature is that vivid impression that she alone can and knows how to impart--the music of the birds, the movement of the trees, the aroma peculiar to the place--the inexplicable something the traveller feels that cannot be defined and which seems to awaken in him distant memories of happy days, sorrows and joys gone by, never to return”

“The Philippines should be grateful to you if you would write a complete history of our country from an impartial point of view.. But don't expect thanks and laurels--crowns of flowers and laurels are the inventions of free people. But perhaps your children may gather the fruit of what the father planted.”
