Transcript of Hong Kong, Second Homecoming & La Liga Filipina
“ all men are born equal, naked, without bonds. God did not
create man to be a slave; nor did he endow him with
intelligence to have him hoodwinked, or adorn him with a
reason to have him deceived by others. It is not fatuous to
refuse to worship one’s equal, to cultivate one’s intellect,
and to make use of reason in all things. Fatuous is he who
makes a good of him, who makes brutes of others, and who
strives to submit to his whims all that is reasonable and
just.”
“Letter to the young Women of Malolos”Dr. Jose Rizal, February 1889
Hong Kong, Second Homecoming &
La Liga FilipinaCHAPTER X
Hong Kong was clearly the right place to go, at least for the time being, not only because it was near the Philippines, but also because his
dear friend Basa was there.
December 6, 1891, his father, Fraancisco, Paciano and brother-in-law Silvertre Ubaldo arrived in Hong Kong to be with Jose.
Rizal expressed his profound joy on seeing some of his family and talk about his father’s improvement at the same time he revealed how he missed his mother.
His mother together with sisters Lucia, Josefa and Trinidad arrived also in Hong Kong.

To unite the whole Archipelago into one compact, vigorous, and homogenous body.
Mutual protection in every grievance and need.
Defense against violence and injustice.
Encouragement of instruction, industrial, and agricultural enterprises.
The study of reforms and putting them into practice.
La Liga Filipina had no intention rising up in arms against the government; but the Spanish officials still felt threatened.
It’s membership was active in the beginning; but later, they began to drift apart.
The rich members wanted to continue supporting the Propaganda Movement; but the others seemed to have lost all hope that reforms could still be granted.
Andres Bonifacio was one of those who believed that the only way to achieve meaningful change was through a bloody revolution.
