Jos Protacio Mercado Rizal Alonzo y 1.) Realonda
June 19, 1861--December 30, 1896
National hero of the 2.)Philippines.
Alternate name: Jos Rizal
Place of birth: Calamba, Laguna, Philippines
Place of death: Bagumbayan (now Rizal Park), Manila, Philippines
Major organizations: 3.) La Solidaridad and La Liga Filipina
Jos Rizal was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in
the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered a national hero and the
anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called 4.)Rizal Day.
Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.
The seventh of eleven children born to a middle class family in the town of 5.)Calamba, Laguna,
Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree sobresaliente.
He enrolled in the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and the
University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, and then traveled alone to Madrid,
Spain where he studied medicine at the 6.) Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of
Licentiate in Medicine. He attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the
the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages. He was a
prolific poet, essayist, diarist, correspondent, and novelist whose most famous works were his
two novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. These are social commentaries on the
Philippines that formed the nucleus of literature that inspired dissent among peaceful reformists
and spurred the militancy of armed revolutionaries against 333 years of Spanish rule.
As a political figure, Rizal was the founder of 7.)La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that
subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan led by Bonifacio and Aguinaldo. He was a proponent
of institutional reforms by peaceful means rather than by violent revolution. The general
consensus among Rizal scholars, however, attributed his martyred death as the catalyst that
precipitated the Philippine Revolution.
Jos Rizal's parents were 8.) Francisco Mercadoand Teodora Alonzo, prosperous farmers who were
granted lease of a hacienda and an accompanying rice farm by the Dominicans. He was the
seventh child of their eleven children (namely, Saturnina, Paciano, Narcisa, Olympia, Lucia,
Maria, Jose, Concepcion, Josephina, Trinidad and Soledad.)
Rizal as a student at the University of Santo Tomas, first studied under the tutelage of Justiniano
Aquino Cruz in Bian, Laguna. He was sent to Manila and upon enrolling at the Ateneo
Municipal, changed his name to "Rizal" to escape the opprobrium of the name "Mercado". His
brother Paciano had been linked to the 3 Filipino priests 9.) Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and
Jacinto Zamora who had been tried as subversives and sentenced to death by garrote. He
received his Bachelor of Arts in 1877 and graduated as one of the nine students declared
sobresaliente or outstanding. He continued his education at the Ateneo Municipal to obtain a
land surveyor and assessor's degree, and at the same time at the University of Santo Tomas
Faculty of Philosophy and Letters where he studied Philosophy and Letters. Upon learning that
his mother was going blind, he decided to study medicine specializing in ophthalmology at the
University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery but did not complete the program
claiming discrimination made by the Spanish Dominican friars against the Filipino students.
Without his parents' knowledge and consent, but secretly supported by his brother 10.)Paciano,
he traveled alone to Madrid in May 1882 and studied medicine at the Universidad Central de
Madrid where he earned the degree, Licentiate in Medicine. . .
The teaching of Jose Rizals life, works, and writings is mandated by Republic Act 1425,
otherwise known as the Rizal Law. 11.) Senator Jose P. Laurel, the person who sponsored the
said law, said that since Rizal was the founder of Philippine nationalism and has contributed
much to the current standing of this nation, it is only right that the youth as well as all the people
in the country know about and learn to imbibe the great ideals for which he died. The Rizal Law,
enacted in 1956, seeks to accomplish the following goals:
1. To rededicate the lives of youth to the ideals of freedom and nationalism, for which our heroes
lived and died
2. To pay tribute to our national hero for devoting his life and works in shaping the Filipino
character
3. To gain an inspiring source of patriotism through the study of Rizals life, works, and writings.
PART 2
Rizals Famous Quotations are the following:

"Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika, daig pa ang hayop at malansang isda."
"He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish."
"It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field
without becoming a part of any edifice."
"While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty."
"There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves."
"Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinangalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan."
"He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his
destination."
"The youth is the hope of our future."
What to do:
Give at least 10 Famous Poems of Rizal.




1. To The Philippines
Aglowing and fair like a houri on high,
Full of grace and pure like the Morn that peeps
When in the sky the clouds are tinted blue,
Of th' Indian land, a goddess sleeps.

The light foam of the son'rous sea
Doth kiss her feet with loving desire;
The cultured West adores her smile
And the frosty Pole her flow'red attire.

With tenderness, stammering, my Muse
To her 'midst undines and naiads does sing;
I offer her my fortune and bliss:
Oh, artists! her brow chaste ring
With myrtle green and roses red
And lilies, and extol the Philippines!


2. Our Mother Tongue
IF truly a people dearly love
The tongue to them by Heaven sent,
They'll surely yearn for liberty
Like a bird above in the firmament.

BECAUSE by its language one can judge
A town, a barrio, and kingdom;
And like any other created thing
Every human being loves his freedom.

ONE who doesn't love his native tongue,
Is worse than putrid fish and beast;
AND like a truly precious thing
It therefore deserves to be cherished.

THE Tagalog language's akin to Latin,
To English, Spanish, angelical tongue;
For God who knows how to look after us
This language He bestowed us upon.

AS others, our language is the same
With alphabet and letters of its own,
It was lost because a storm did destroy
On the lake the bangka 1 in years bygone.

3. Kundiman
Truly hushed today
Are my tongue and heart
Harm is discerned by love
And joy flies away,
'Cause the Country was
Vanquished and did yield
Through the negligence
Of the one who led.

But the sun will return to dawn;
In spite of everything
Subdued people
Will be liberated;
The Filipino name
Will return perhaps
And again become
In vogue in the world.

We shall shed
Blood and it shall flood
Only to emancipate
The native land;
While the designated time
Does not come,
Love will rest
And anxiety will sleep.


4. A Poem That Has No Title
To my Creator I sing
Who did soothe me in my great loss;
To the Merciful and Kind
Who in my troubles gave me repose.

Thou with that pow'r of thine
Said: Live! And with life myself I found;
And shelter gave me thou
And a soul impelled to the good
Like a compass whose point to the North is bound.

Thou did make me descend
From honorable home and respectable stock,
And a homeland thou gavest me
Without limit, fair and rich
Though fortune and prudence it does lack.



5. Song of Maria Clara

Sweet are the hours in one's own Native Land,
All there is friendly o'er which the sun shines above;
Vivifying is the breeze that wafts over her fields;
Even death is gratifying and more tender is love.

Ardent kissed on a mother's lips are at play,
On her lap, upon the infant child's awakening,
The extended arms do seek her neck to entwine,
And the eyes at each other's glimpse are smiling.

It is sweet to die in one's own Native Land,
All there is friendly o'er which the sun shines above;
And deathly is the breeze for one without
A country, without a mother and without love.


6. To Josephine
Josephine, Josephine
Who to these shores have come
Looking for a nest, a home,
Like a wandering swallow;
If your fate is taking you
To Japan, China or Shanghai,
Don't forget that on these shores
A heart for you beats high.


7. To the Virgin Mary

Mary, sweet peace, solace dear
Of pained mortal ! You're the fount
Whence emanates the stream of succor,
That without cease our soil fructifies.

From thy throne, from heaven high,
Kindly hear my sorrowful cry!
And may thy shining veil protect
My voice that rises with rapid flight.

Thou art my Mother, Mary, pure;
Thou'll be the fortress of my life;
Thou'll be my guide on this angry sea.
If ferociously vice pursues me,
If in my pains death harasses me,
Help me, and drive away my woes!

8. Sa Aking mga Kabata

Kapagka ang bayay sadyang umiibig
Sa langit salitang kaloob ng langit
Sanlang kalayaan nasa ring masapi

Katulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid
Pagkat ang salitay isang kahatulan
Sa bayan, sa nayo't mga kaharian


At ang isang taoy katulad, kabagay
Ng alin mang likha noong kalayaan.
Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita
Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda

Kaya ang marapat pagyamanin kusa
Na tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala
Ang wikang Tagalog tulad din sa Latin,


Sa Ingles, Kastila, at salitang anghel,
Sapagkat ang Poong maalam tumingin
Ang siyang naggagawad, nagbibigay sa atin.
Ang salita natiy tulad din sa iba


Na may alfabeto at sariling letra,
Na kaya nawalay dinatnan ng sigwa
Ang lunday sa lawa noong dakong una.




9. Felicitation
If Philomela with harmonious tongue
To blond Apollo, who manifests his face
Behind high hill or overhanging mountain,
Canticles sends.


So we as well, full of a sweet contentment,
Salute you and your very noble saint
With tender music and fraternal measures,
Dear Antonino.

From all your sisters and your other kin
Receive most lovingly the loving accent
That the suave warmth of love dictates to them
Placid and tender.

From amorous wife and amiable Emilio
Sweetly receive an unsurpassed affection;
And may its sweetness in disaster soften
The ruder torments.

As the sea pilot, who so bravely fought
Tempestuous waters in the dark of night,
Gazes upon his darling vessel safe
And come to port.

So, setting aside all [worldly] predilections,
Now let your eyes be lifted heavenward
To him who is the solace of all men
And loving Father.

And from ourselves that in such loving accents
Salute you everywhere you celebrate,
These clamorous vivas that from the heart resound
Be pleased to accep






10. Child Jesus
Why have you come to earth,
Child-God, in a poor manger?
Does Fortune find you a stranger
from the moment of your birth?

Alas, of heavenly stock
now turned an earthly resident!
Do you not wish to be president
but the shepherd of your flock?
