My Last Farewell It was written one night before his execution in Luneta Park in Fort Santiago. That is why the poem, which literally means My Last Goodbye, is entitled "Mi Ultimo Adios." Because of the given social condition, this popular literary piece was written in which he experienced slavery, cruelty and aggression against his beloved fellow men. Rizal expresses his wish to die for his motherland and bids farewell to his loved ones, his homeland and all the people he cared for. He hopes that today's youth will continue what he had just begun for the freedom for which he had fought and he is also grateful to those Filipinos who had just dedicated their lives for their motherland's affection. He never resented putting his life in danger and was successfully executed because of his determination and strong willingness to reform the political aspect of equality between the Spaniards and the Filipinos, his destiny to die for his country. He freed those words in his poem just to convey what he had felt during the time he was in the cell and knowing that it was his last moment to devote his life to his country, but his cry-laden agenda had not yet been fulfilled. The wisdom and insight of Rizal upon writing his last poem "Mi Ultimo Adios" is mirrored in the present on many edges. His love for the nation and many activists is still formed today to fight for the country, to have freedom of speech and criticism. We are fighting for our country, just as Rizal and many national heroes are fighting for our country....
