Because He died just to defend our Country
essay regarding the arrival permission for rizal to go cuba as a military doctor
José Rizal challenged Mariano P. de los Reyes Retana to a duel primarily due to Retana's critical portrayal of him in his writings, which Rizal considered defamatory. Retana had published a book that misrepresented Rizal's views and character, leading to a clash of honor. Rizal, valuing his reputation and integrity, sought to defend himself through the traditional means of a duel, a common practice for settling disputes of honor during that era. Ultimately, the duel did not take place, as it was a matter of principle rather than a genuine desire for violence.
Rizal thought that London is safe because of the democracy and the freedom to express himself freely in the UK.
Jose Rizal was a Philippine author. He wrote a story about a young moth which he personified by comparing it to himself.

José Rizal adopted the surname "Rizal" as part of a strategy to reflect his family's heritage and to distance himself from the colonial authorities. The name "Rizal" was derived from the Spanish word "rizal," meaning "green field" or "meadow," and he chose it to symbolize his connection to his roots and the Filipino identity. Additionally, he used this name to assert his individuality and distinguish himself in a society where surnames often indicated social status and colonial ties. Ultimately, it became a symbol of his nationalistic ideals and his fight for Philippine independence.

Whether this assessment is accurate or not, Dr. Rizal has been considered a hero of the Philippines from the outset: a public holiday was declared honouring Dr. Rizal in 1898, whereas that for Bonifacio was not declared until 1921. Dr. Rizal was considered to be his inspiration by Bonifacio himself.
Beacuse Rizal wants to learn more about starting a revolution. At that time the American country is revolting against the Spaniards. He wants to prepare himself and the country when their time for liberation would come. Remember he said that Philippines is not yet ready for war, further calculations must be done. This is Rizal's motive when applying as doctor in Cuba.
Crisostomo Ibarra is the lead character for Jose Rizal's novel which is Noli Me Tangere and actually some Filipino's may tell that his character is associated with Jose Rizal's himself.
