La Liga Filipina

La Liga Filipina was a reform movement founded in 1892 by José Rizal, a Filipino nationalist. It aimed to unite Filipinos peacefully and advocate for political and social reforms from Spanish colonial authorities, including fair governance, improved education, and human rights. The organization sought to promote collaboration among Filipinos to achieve these goals through non-violent means, contrasting with more revolutionary approaches. Although it was short-lived, La Liga Filipina played a significant role in inspiring future efforts for independence and fostering nationalist sentiments among Filipinos.
