Graciano López Jaena (December 18, 1856 – January 20, 1896) was a Filipino journalist, orator, revolutionary, and national hero who is well known for his newspaper, La Solidaridad.Philippine historians regard López Jaena, along with Marcelo H.
del Pilar and José Rizal, as the triumvirate of Filipino propagandists.
Of these three ilustrados, López Jaena was the first to arrive in Spain and may have begun the Propaganda Movement which advocated the reform of the then-Spanish colony of the Philippines and which eventually led to the armed Philippine Revolution that begun in Manila in 1896.
The Propaganda Movement was a key step towards a Philippine national identity.
