José Rizal, the Philippine national hero, used several pen names throughout his literary career. The most notable among them are "Laong Laan," which means "ever prepared," and "Dimasalang," meaning "untouchable." He also wrote under the name "P. Jacinto" in some works. These pen names allowed him to express his thoughts and critiques of colonial rule while maintaining a level of anonymity.
