    This famous letter was written by Dr. Jose P. Rizal while he was residing in Lodon, upon the request of Marcelo H. Del Pilar. The story behind this letter is there was this group of twenty young women of Malolos petitioned Governor-General Weyler for permission to open a ‘night school’ so that they might study Spanish under Teodoro Sandiko. But the Spanish parish priest, Fr. Felipe Garcia, objected their petition and so that the Governor-General turned down their request. However, the young women of Malolos, in rebellion of the friar’s wrath, bravely continued their agitation of the school. Until they have finally succeeded in obtaining government approval to their project on condition that Señorita Guadalupe Reyes should be their teacher.

    On February 28, 1888, a year after the publication of Noli Me Tangere, and six months after his arrival in the Philippines, José Rizal sailed from Manila again, by "advice" of the government. The controversy over the Noli took its toll on Rizal. He soon found that he had to travel abroad once again to guarantee his intellectual and personal freedom. He would have to go to some country where he would be free from spies or plots. As he prepared for his return to Europe, Rizal had an intensified sense of his own country. The reaction to the Noli and his own intellectual growth prompted him to look beyond the Philippines to all of Asia. Rizal decided to spend some time in London’s famed libraries, where he can find the sense of the Philippines he was searching for.…
