Junto Al Pasig
''Junto Al Pasig'' is a one-act melodrama written in verse by José Rizal in the 1880s, showcasing Filipino culture and Marian devotion. Set along the Pasig River, the play features children preparing to celebrate the Virgin Mary's feast, interrupted by the character Satán, who represents temptation. Through the interactions of Leónido, Cándido, and Pascual, the themes of good versus evil, faith, and divine protection are explored. This work is notable for its poetic dialogue and its reflection of Rizal's early prophetic views on colonialism in the Philippines.
