Rizal Report Outline

Rizal took a vacation in Biarritz, France in 1891 where he finished writing his second novel El Filibusterismo. He then moved to Ghent, Belgium which had lower printing costs than Brussels. El Filibusterismo was published in Ghent in 1891 after Rizal had difficulties finding a publisher willing to print it. The novel was darker and more revolutionary than Rizal's first, focusing on the issues of oppression under Spanish colonial rule. It was dedicated to three Filipino priests executed for their nationalist activities.
