Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila from 1872 to 1876 where he excelled academically, winning numerous medals. He then attended the University of Santo Tomas from 1877 to 1882 to study philosophy, medicine, and earn additional literary awards. While studying in Manila, Rizal wrote poems and plays that explored themes of education, history, and nationalism which won him high praise from his professors and literary societies. In 1882, Rizal secretly left for Spain to continue his medical education.

38. In the poem, Rizal praises the benefits that Spain had bestowed upon the Philippines.
Rizal had frequently depicted the renowned Spanish explorers, generals and kings in
the most patriotic manner. He had pictured Education (brought to the Philippines by
Spain) as "the breath of life instilling charming virtue". He had written of one of his
Spanish teachers as having brought "the light of the eternal splendor".
It is the Filipino Youth who are the protagonists, whose "prodigious genius" making
use of that education to build the future, was the "Bella esperanza de la Patria Mia!"
(beautiful hope of the motherland). Spain, with "Pious and wise hand" offered a
"crown's resplendent band, offers to the sons of this Indian land.“
It was presented in 1879 in Manila at a literary contest held in the Manila Lyceum of
Art and Literature, a society of literary men and artists, where he won the first prize,
composed of a feather-shaped silver pen and a diploma.
A LA JUVENTUD FILIPINA

39. The play exposes how an Asian teenager seizes the cultural elements of the
Western humanistic tradition, overcoming not only its formalism, but at the same
time laying the foundations for an effort toward self-knowledge.
Depicting Olympian deities discussing Western literary standards, it becomes a
reference text of literary criticism in the Philippines. Rizal further explores the true
meaning of human desire for knowledge and designs the guidelines for a Filipino
speculative thought.
The play won the first prize award in an 1880-1881 literary contest commemorating
the death of Cervantes sponsored by the Liceo Artistico Literario de Manila. “Con el
recuerdo del pasado entro en el porvenir” (“I enter the future remembering the
past”), was Rizal's epigraph for the award.
