Dr. José Rizal - Philippne National Hero
In full, JOSÉ PROTACIO RIZAL MERCADO Y ALONSO
REALONDA (born 19 June 1861, Calamba, Philippines- died 30
December 1896, Manila, Philippines), patriot, physician and man
of letters whose life and literary works were an inspiration to the
Philippine nationalist movement.
Rizal was the son of a prosperous landowner and sugar planter of
Chinese-Filipino descent on the island of Luzon. His mother,
Teodora Alonso, one of the most highly educated women in the
Philippines at that time, exerted a powerful influence on his
intellectual development.
He was educated at the Ateneo de Manila and the University of
Santo Tomas in Manila. In 1882, he went to study medicine and
liberal arts at the University of Madrid. A brilliant student, he
soon became the leader of the small community of Filipino
students in Spain and committed himself to the reform of Spanish
rule in his home country, though he never advocated Philippine
independence. The chief enemy of reform, in his eyes, was not
Spain, which was going through a profound revolution, but
the Franciscan, Augustinian and Dominican friars who held
the country in political and economic paralysis.
Rizal continued his medical studies in Paris and Heidelberg. In
1886, he published his first novel in Spanish, Noli Me Tangere, a
passionate exposure of the evils of the friars rule (Roman
Catholic Church), comparable in its effect to Harriet Beecher
Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. A sequel, El Filibusterismo, 1891,
established his reputation as the leading spokesman of the
Philippine reform movement. He annotated an edition in 1890 on
Antonio Morga's Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, which showed
that the native people of the Philippines had a long history before
the coming of the Spaniards.
He became the leader of the Propaganda Movement, contributing
numerous articles to its newspaper, La Solidaridad, published in
Barcelona. Rizal's political program, as expressed in the
newspaper, included integration of the Philippines as a province
of Spain, representation in the Cortes (the Spanish parliament),
the replacement of the Spanish friars by the Filipino priests,
freedom of assembly and expression, and equality of Filipinos and
Spaniards before the law.
Against the advice of his parents and friends, Rizal returned to
the Philippines in 1892. He found a nonviolent reform society, La
Liga Filipina, in Manila, and was deported to Dapitan, in
northwest Mindanao, an island south of the Philippines. He
remained in exile for four years, doing scientific research and
founding a school and hospital. In 1896, the Katipunan, a
nationalist secret society, launched a revolt against Spain.
Although he had no connections with that organization or any part
in the insurrection, Rizal was arrested and tried for sedition by the
military. Found guilty, he wa publicly executed by a firing squad
in Manila. His martyrdom convinced Filipinos that there was no
alternative to independence from Spain. On the eve of his
execution, while confined in Fort Santiago, Rizal wrote Mi Ultimo
Adios ("My Last Farewell"), a masterpiece of 19th-century
Spanish verse.

This is Dr. Jose Rizal’s father. The Roman Catholic Church released an order that all farmers in
Laguna shall give their 80% of harvested crops to the Catholic Church. But Rizal’s father rejected the
order of the Catholic Church. In anger of the Catholic Church, is dead corpse (4-days) was excavated during
rainy night and his corpse was thrown into Laguna Lake (Laguna de Bay). Dr. Rizal learned the fate of his
father and Dr. Rizal was so mad and gone outraged. Until now millions of Filipino doesn’t knew about
this story, hidden by the Catholic Priests for hundred of years from now.
