The Hero’s First Teacher

boy’s tutor. This old teacher lived at the Rizal home and
instructed Jose in Spanish and Latin. Unfortunately, he did not

gifted son to a private school in Biñan.

two brothers rode in a carromata,
reaching their destination after one and
one-half hours’ drive

where Jose was to lodge. It was almost
night when they arrived.
 That same night, Jose, with his cousin
named Leandro, went sightseeing in the
town.
First Day in Biñan School

 Paciano brought Jose to the school of


Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz.
 The school was in the house of the
teacher, which was a small nipa hut
about 30 meters from the home of
Jose’s aunt.
"He was tall, thin, long-necked, with sharp
nose and a body slightly bent forward, and
he used to wear a sinamay shirt, woven by
the skilled hands of the women of
Batangas. He knew by the heart the
grammars by Nebrija and Gainza

 After the class in the afternoon, Andres
Salandanan challenged Jose to an arm-
wrestling match.

painter’s studio.
 Juancho gave him lessons in drawing and

Best student in School
 In academic studies, Jose beat all Biñan boys. He
surpassed them all in Spanish, Latin, and other
subjects.

Some of his older classmates were jealous of his


intellectual superiority. They wickedly squealed to the
teacher whenever Jose had a fight outside the
school, and even told lies to discredit him before the
teacher’s eyes. Consequently the teacher had to
punish Jose. 
End of Biñan Schooling
 Before the Christmas season in 1870, Jose
received a letter from his sister Saturnina
informing him of the arrival of the steamer
Talim.
 Jose left Biñan on Saturday afternoon,
December 17, 1870 after one and a half year
of schooling in that town.
 Arturo Camps- a Frenchman and a friend of
Jose’s father, took care of him on board.
Martyrdom of Gom-Bur-za
 During the Spanish era there
were two kinds of priests: the
regular and the secular. The
regular were the Spanish priests
trained and studied in seminaries
in Spain belonging to the major
missionary order like Jesuits,
Recollects, Dominicans,
Augustinians, and Benedictines
while the secular were Filipino
priests studied and trained in the
seminaries in the Philippines.
 The secular priest were Filipino priests trained in the
Philippines and were considered inferior and given
limited assignments. They were not allowed to hold
parishes. Due to this kind of treatment, the seculars
boldly clamored and demanded for an equal
responsibilities and assignments as clergies. This
was known as the secularization issue headed by Fr.
Mariano Gomez, Fr. Jose Burgos, and Fr. Jacinto
Zamora. Somehow, they were able to get the
sympathy of some Filipinos, which alarmed the
Spanish authorities. This crusade became also an
issue of Filipinization.
 On January 20, 1872, the same year of the
emergence of the controversial secularization issue,
Cavite mutiny took place. It was a mutiny
spearheaded by Lt. La Madrid, in-charged of Spanish
arsenal, who was disgruntled because of abolition of
their benefits including forced labor and tax
exemptions by the reactionary Governor General
Rafael de Izquirdo. The Cavite mutiny was failure and
easily subdued within two days. The Spanish
authorities was able to get a chance to silence the
GomBurZa in their secularization crusade by having
them implicated as plotters of the Cavite mutiny.
 Consequently the GomBurZa were
executed despite of archbishops’s plea
for clemency because of their
innocence. Mounted fabricated
evidences and false witnesses sent
them to garrote on February 17, 1872. It
was considered martyrdom by the Rizal
family and some patriotic Filipinos in the
Philippines.
 Paciano was a friend, teacher and housemate
of Fr. Jose Burgos while he was studying in
Colegio de San Jose in Manila. He was
deeply affected with the execution of his
friend. As a sympathy and protest against the
injustice of Spanish authorities, he quit
studies and went back to Calamba. He aired
out his remorse by telling and retelling the
heroic stories of Fr. Burgos to his family. He
came to realize the injustice and racial
discrimination in the Philippines.
 The martyrdom of Gom-bur-Za in 1872
truly inspired Rizal to fight the evils of
Spanish tyranny and redeem his
oppressed people.
 In 1891, he dedicated his second novel,
El Filibusterismo to Gomburza.
Injustice to Hero’s Mother
 Before June of 1872, Dona teodora was
suddnely arrested on a malicious
charge that she and her brother Jose
Alberto, tried to poison the latter’s wife.
 The evil wife connived with the spanish
lieutenant of the Guardia Civil and filed
a case in court.
 That lieutenant happened to have an ax
to grind against the Rizal family and to
avenge himself, he arrested dona
teodora with the help of calamba’s
gobernadorcillo, Antonio Vivencio del
Rosario
 After arresting Dona teodora, the
lieutenant forced her to walk from
Calamba to Santa Cruz, Laguna (50
km).
 She was incarcerated at the provincial
prison where she languished for two
years and a half.
 Messrs. Francisco de Marcaida and
Manuel Marzan- the most famous
lawyers of Manila that defend Doña
Teodora

 The Manila Royal Audiencia (Supreme


Court) acquitted her of the alleged crime
