Si Rizal at Ang Mga Diwata is a two-act Tagalog zarzuela written by Jose N. Sevilla in the early 20th century. The play explores the life and ideals of Dr. José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, focusing on themes of sacrifice, duty, and national pride. Through interactions with allegorical characters representing virtues and temptations, Rizal reflects on his responsibilities to his mother and country, ultimately rejecting distractions in favor of serving his fellow Filipinos. This work serves as both a tribute to Rizal's heroism and a call to action for the Filipino people.
