''Estatuto de la L. F. (Liga Filipina)'' by José Rizal is a foundational document written in the early 1890s. This book serves as a significant historical account that outlines the statutes, goals, and organizational structure of the Liga Filipina, a society established to promote mutual aid and reform among Filipinos under colonial rule. The document not only reflects the sociopolitical landscape of the time but also Rizal's vision for national identity and solidarity among Filipinos. The content of the book details the constitution of the Liga Filipina, including its aims such as uniting Filipinos, offering mutual protection, advancing education, and combating injustice. It specifies the roles and responsibilities of different positions within the organization, such as the ''Goberndor'' and ''Secretarios,'' as well as the rights and duties of its members. Additionally, it lays out how members should support one another in times of need, fostering a sense of community and collective responsibility, which is crucial for the social and political advancement of the Filipino people during the colonial era. Through this document, Rizal not only articulates the principles of the Liga but also emphasizes the importance of fellowship and cooperation in the pursuit of social justice and national reform.
