This Filipino patriot from Bulacan (1850-1896) was a leading propagandist for Philippine reforms during the Spanish colonial era who belonged to a
society of Filipino intellectuals (illustrados) in Spain and was the editor and co-publisher of the paper "La Solidaridad" - the paper that they published.

The so-called 'patron saint' of today's Pinoy journalists died of tuberculosis while still in exile in Spain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcelo_H._del_Pilar
