Ilustrado
- Drama
Near the end of the 19th century, 35-year-old Jos Rizal turned into the Philippines' most beloved hero when he was martyred by the Spanish colonial government at Bagumbayan. He died an extraordinary man of his times: renowned novelist, poet, ophthalmologist, journalist, and linguist. But behind these achievements, there remained the story of a man every Filipino can relate and connect to. Like today's overseas Filipino, Rizal needed to leave his family to fulfill his studies and career abroad, suffering from homesickness, and enduring a long-distance relationship with the woman he loved most. He was also the best example of the Filipino who came back home and used the knowledge and skills he learned abroad to help improve the lives of his family and countrymen.
Ilustrado is a 2014 Filipino historical drama series that tells the untold personal story of Jos Rizal, the Philippines' most celebrated national hero. Beyond his achievements as a novelist, poet, ophthalmologist, and journalist, the series explores Rizal's struggles with overseas work, homesickness, and long-distance love during the late 19th century. The show completed its run and is available for viewing.
