While in Jaro, he wrote [[Fray Botod]] a short story critical of the current Spanish colonial government. However, his real fame came in Spain when he teamed up with others advocating for reform, including [[Marcelo H. del Pilar]] and [[José Rizal]], and became a leader of the so-called [[ilustrados]] and of the [[Propaganda Movement]]. His newspaper [[La Solidaridad]] was particularly influential. He died in 1896 of [[tuberculosis]], before the outbreak of the [[Philippine Revolution]]. ==Recognition== In 1970, [[Republic Act]] 6155 declared his birth an official public holiday in Iloilo province and the independent Iloilo City.<ref name=RA6155>{{cite web\|title=REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6155 - AN ACT DECLARING DECEMBER EIGHTEENTH OF EACH YEAR AN OFFICIAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN THE CITY AND PROVINCE OF ILOILO TO COMMEMORATE THE BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF GRACIANO LOPEZ JAENA\|url=http://www.chanrobles.com/republicacts/republicactno6155.html#.UUaau1s42KQ\|publisher=Chan Robles\|accessdate=18 March 2013}}</ref> It is marked every year in Jaro with the [[Graciano Lopez Jaena Foundation Inc]] taking a lead role. <ref name=TDG>{{cite news\|last=Yap\|first=Tara\|title=Iloilo celebrates Lopez Jaena Day\|url=http://www.thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news/21740-iloilo-celebrates-lopez-jaena-day#\|accessdate=18 March 2013\|newspaper=[[The Daily Guardian]]\|date=December 18, 2012\|url-status=dead\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231171521/http://thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news/21740-iloilo-celebrates-lopez-jaena-day\|archivedate=31 ,December 2012}}</ref> As part of the celebrations, a wreath is laid every year at the Graciano López Jaena Park, commonly known as [[Jaro Plaza]], where there is also a statue.<ref name=TDG2>{{cite news\|last=Yap\|first=Tara\|title=~~‘Respect~~Respect cultural significance of Jaro ~~Plaza’~~Plaza\|url=http://www.thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news/4883-respect-cultural-significance-of-jaro-plaza\|accessdate=19 March 2013\|newspaper=The Daily Guardian\|url-status=dead\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130728091642/http://www.thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news/4883-respect-cultural-significance-of-jaro-plaza\|archivedate=28 July 2013}}</ref> ==See also== * [[Public holidays in the Philippines]]▼ ==References== {{reflist}} ==~~See~~External ~~also~~links== {{Commonscat-inline\|Graciano Lopez Jaena}} ▲ [[Public holidays in the Philippines]] {{Philippine national holidays}} Line 44 ⟶ 47: {{Philippines topics}} ~~{{DEFAULTSORT:Public Holidays In The Philippines}}~~ [[Category:Public holidays in the Philippines\| ]] [[Category:Fixed holidays]]▼ [[Category:December observances]] ▲[[Category:~~Fixed~~Culture ~~holidays~~of Iloilo]]
