Rizal's Early Writings

#RizalOnAir comes back with a new episode! We mark the beginning of this season's third phase, focusing on Rizal's writings, by talking about his early writings from his Ateneo days until he left for Europe. It's an exciting mix of historical and nationalistic poems (most notably, A La Juventud Filipina), religious plays (El Consejo De Los Dioses and Junto Al Pasig), and some love writing too! We also talked about Rizal writing for kids, as he translated some of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.
