Despite all valid pleadings and unanimous voted for the sentence of death
Polavieja still affirmed the decision of the court martial and ordered Rizal to be shot
On Bagumbayan Field, December 30 1896 at 7:00 in the morning
Rizal in all black was heavily guarded to prevent any rescue attempt and saving
His arms were tied behind him and was ordered to turn his back against the squad
Facing the sea he refused , requests to face bravely the firing squad
Hence, failing to have his request granted, he asked to be shot in the back instead
Before the shot run out, Rizal shouted Consummatum Est and the heros life ended.
