Francisco Tongio Liongson was a Filipino medical doctor and politician. He belonged to a generation of Philippine colonial subjects who struggled to evolve a national identity for their homeland in the fringes of the Spanish Empire.

The name did not even originally apply to all the inhabitants of the Philippine archipelago,but to a small group of Spaniards born there. Motivated by the injustices prevalent in the Philippines,small colonies of native expatriate students in Europe involved themselves in the Propaganda Movement with the purpose of exposing these abuses and in the process began to assume a consciousness articulating reforms of a national interest that was consequently distinct from Spain. Liongson was one of these Filipino students in Madrid. He walked among peers who would one day become Philippine National Heroes.
