 In April 1890, Jose Rizal authored an article "Sobre la Nueva Ortografia de la Lengua Tagalog" in the Madrid-based periodical La Solidaridad.In it, he addressed the criticisms of the new writing system by writers like Pobrete and Tecson and the simplicity, in his opinion, of the new orthography.Rizal described the orthography promoted by Pardo de Tavera as "more perfect" than what he himself had developed.
