This was achieved through José Rizal, who dedicated his second novel 'El Filibusterismo' to the three priests, and Andres Bonifacio's revolutionary movement, the Katipunan, which used what was believed to be a piece of clothing from the priests' execution in their rituals, sort of a talisman, and vowed in their writings to avenge them.
