He had his first lessons from his mother Teodora Alonso, learned the

Ateneo Mu nicipal de Manila in 1872, and obtained a bachelor's de gree with
highest honors in 1876. He studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas,

sculpture, languages, and wrote articles about the Philippines. Wrote an

Filipinos had a civilization of their own even before the Spaniards ar rived. He
became known for advocating political reforms through his novels, Noli Me
Tangere (Touch Me Not), published in Berlin, 1887; and El Felibusterismo
(The Subversive), printed in Ghent, Belguim, 1891; and through the society
La Liga Filipina, which he founded in Manila in 1892. On the charge of
fomenting unrest against Spain, he was exiled to Dapitan in northwestern
Mindanao where he met, fell in love, and lived with Jose phine Bracken. To
avoid being involved in the move to start a revolution, he asked Governor-
General Ramon Blanco to send him to Cuba. Instead he was brought back to
Manila and jailed in Fort Santiago after the out break of the Revolution in
August 1896. A military court found him guilty of rebellion, sedition, and
establishing an illegal association, for which he was sentenced to death. On
the eve of his execution, at the age of 35, he wrote a long poem, Mi Ultimo
Adios (My Last Farewell). Three minutes past seven o'clock on the morning
of that fateful day, December 30, 1896, he was executed by a firing squad in
Bagumbayan Field.
