Every Filipino knows Jose Rizal as a hero. But the spotlight was never on his family's patriotism. It's good that this show does that, focus not only with JPR but also shines some with family.

Like on how JPR's older brother Paciano influenced his ideals on patriotism. Or like how the Spaniards made JPR's mom walk from Calamba to Sta Cruz. Well, Ilustrado shows not only JPR and his family's heroism and patriotism but also their sacrifices for each other and specially for the country.

I have one question though. Where is Josephine? JPRs wife?
