Jose Rizal started his career as an ophthalmologist but transitioned to become a renowned writer and a vital figure in the Filipino Propaganda Movement. He pushed for political changes in the Philippines during the era of Spanish colonization. Rizal’s literary creations, such as the novels Noli Me Tángere and El Filibusterismo, along with his poems and essays, greatly influenced the Philippine Revolution.
