Near the end of the 19th century, 35-year-old José Rizal turned into the Philippines’ most beloved hero when he was martyred by the Spanish colonial government at Bagumbayan. He died an extraordinary man of his times: renowned novelist, poet, ophthalmologist, journalist, and linguist. But behind these achievements, there remained the story of a man every Filipino can relate and connect to. Like today’s overseas Filipino, Rizal needed to leave his family to fulfill his studies and career abroad, suffering from homesickness, and enduring a long-distance relationship with the woman he loved most. He was also the best example of the Filipino who came back home and used the knowledge and skills he learned abroad to help improve the lives of his family and countrymen.
In December 2014, Ilustrado was televised on GMA News TV as part of its Rizal Day celebration.
Ilustrado footage featuring Alden Richards as Jose Rizal was shown in the pilot episode of the 2015 GMA Network comedy series Juan Tamad.
The series was re-aired on GMA News TV starting on September 21, 2015.
On March 2016, Ilustrado limited edition DVDs was released by GMA Records Home Video.
