PROJECT FOR FILIPINO COLLEGE IN HONGKONG
A project by Rizal in Paris was to establish a modern
college in Hong Kong
Rizal wrote to his friend, Jose Maria Basa, about this
matter.
Aim of the college: To train and educate men of good
family and financial means in accordance with the
demands of modern times and circumstances.
Mr. Mario Cunanan- a rich Filipino resident in Paris,
from Mexico, Pampanga, promised to help Rizal raise
P40,000 as initial capital for the college.
Some subjects in the curriculum were: Ethics, Religion,
Natural Law, Civil Law, Deportment, Hygiene,
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, Geography,
Political Economy, Philippine History, Logic, Poetics,
Spanish, English, French, German, Chinese, Tagalog,
Gymnastics, Dancing, Drawing, Fencing, etc.
Unfortunately, this project did not materialize.
However, years later, during his exile in Dapitan, he
actually founded a school for boys, in which he put into
practice some of his splendid pedagogical concepts.
