CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING JOSERIZALS BIRTH

Before Joss birth his family had built a pretentious new home in

the center of Kalamba on a lot which Francisco Mercado hadinherited from his brother. The house was destroyed before itsusefulness had ceased, by the vindictiveness of those who hated

the man-child that was born there. And later on the gratitude of afree people held the same spot sacred because there began thatlife consecrated to the Philippines and finally given for it, afterpreparing the way for the union of the various disunited Chinesemestizos, Spanish mestizos, and half a hundred dialectically

distinguished Indians into the united people of the Philippines.

CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING JOSERIZALS BIRTH

Jos was christened in the nearby church when three days old, and as twoout-of-town bands happened to be in Kalamba for a local festival, musicwas a feature of event. His godfather was Father Pedro Casaas, a Filipinopriest of a Kalamba family, and the priest who christened him was also aFilipino, Father Rufino Collantes. Following is a translation of the record ofRizals birth and baptism: I, the undersigned parish priest of the town of

Calamba, certify that from the investigation made with proper authority, forreplacing the parish books which were burned September 28, 1862, to befound in Docket No. 1 of Baptisms, page 49, it appears by the sworntestimony of competent witnesses that Jos Rizal Mercado is the legitimate

son, and of lawful wedlock, of Don Francisco Rizal Mercado and DoaTeodora Realonda, having been baptized in this parish on the 22d day ofJune in the year 1861, by the parish priest, Rev. Rufino Collantes, Rev.Pedro Casaas being his godfather.

RELIGIONS OF JOSE RIZAL

He was Roman Catholic by birth and even studied in CatholicSchools. But when he met his "Ultima Querrida" (last love), hebecame a Protestant by choice. Because of that, he and hisgirlfriend, Josephine Bracken, were denied the benefit of a Catholic

marriage rite. That is also the reason why Rizal was also denied thebenefit of a Catholic mass during his burial.

Actually Jose Rizal's religon is masonry. If you will check Dapitanwhere he stayed during his exile you will find all the signs that hehad builded and he was even teaching it to some filipino working

their for him. He was also teaching English to the filipino's duringthose time to prepare them for the invasion of the US because heknow that they will come.

Jose Rizals creativity

Jose Rizal was a man of incredible intellectual power, with amazing artistictalent as well. He excelled at anything that he put his mind to - medicine,poetry, sketching, architecture, sociology... the list seems nearly endless.

"Sa Aking Mga Kabata" (English: To my Fellow Youth) is a poem about thelove of one's native language written in Tagalog. It is widely attributed tothe Filipino national hero Jos Rizal, who supposedly wrote it in 1869 at theage of eight.


23/29

Sa Aking Mga KabataKapagka ang baya'y sadyang umiibigSa kanyang salitang kaloob ng langit,Sanglang kalayaan nasa ring masapitKatulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid.Pagka't ang salita'y isang kahatulanSa bayan, sa nayo't mga kaharian,

At ang isang tao'y katulad, kabagayNg alin mang likha noong kalayaan.

Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salitaMahigit sa hayop at malansang isda,Kaya ang marapat pagyamaning kusaNa tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala.

Ang wikang Tagalog tulad din sa LatinSa Ingles, Kastila at salitang anghel,

Sapagka't ang Poong maalam tuminginAng siyang naggawad, nagbigay sa atin.Ang salita nati'y huwad din sa ibaNa may alfabeto at sariling letra,

Na kaya nawala'y dinatnan ng sigwaAng lunday sa lawa noong dakong una.


24/29

However, there is no evidence to support authorship by Rizal andseveral historians now believe it to be a hoax. The actual author of

the poem is suspected to have been the poets Gabriel BeatoFrancisco or Herminigildo Cruz

The poem was widely taught in Philippine schools to point outRizal's precociousness and early development of his nationalistic

ideals.


25/29

A passage of the poem often paraphrased as Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa

sariling wika, masahol pa sa hayop at malansang isda (English: 'He who does notlove his own mother tongue, is worse than a beast and rotten fish') is widely quotedto promote the use of Tagalog among Filipinos. It is used most frequently (often inan accusatory manner) during the Buwan ng Wika ('Language Monta'), acommemoration of the establishment of the Filipino language as the nationallanguage of the Philippines

No manuscript for Sa Aking Mga Kabata written in Rizal's handwriting exists.[6] Thepoem was first published in 1906, a decade after his death, in a book authored bythe poet Herminigildo Cruz. Cruz claimed that he received the poem from anotherpoet, Gabriel Beato Francisco, who in turn received it in 1884 from an alleged closefriend of Rizal, Saturnino Raselis. Jos Rizal, however, has never mentioned anyoneby the name of Saturnino Raselis. The poem may have actually been written by Cruzor Francisco
