1. Childhood Years in Calamba CHAPTER 2 BADWAL, SUKHWINDER K.
2. OBJECTIVES To be able to know the childhood years of Jose Rizal in Calamba To
know what he achieved in a young age To be able to know what events in his life
made him love his nation and fight for freedom.
3. Jose Rizal grew up in a happy home, ruled by good parents, bubbling with joy,
and sanctified by Gods blessings. His native town is Calamba. Its scenic beauties
and industrious, hospitable, and friendly folks impressed him during his childhood
years and profoundly affected his mind and character.
4. Calamba, the Heros Town Calamba was a hacienda town which belonged to the
Dominican Order, which also owned all the lands around it.
5. House of Jose Rizal in Calamba
6. Earliest Childhood Memories The first memory of Rizal, in his infancy, was his
happy days in the family garden when he was three years old. Because he was a
sick child, he was given the tenderest care by his parents. His father built a little
nipa cottage in the garden for him to play in the day time. Another childhood
memory was the daily Angelus prayer. By nightfall, his mother gathered all the
children at the house to pray the Angelus. Another memory of his infancy was the
nocturnal walk in the town. The maid took him for a walk in the moonlight by the
river.
7. The Heros First Sorrow Jose loved most the little Concha (Concepcion). He was
a year older than Concha. He played with her and from her he learned the
sweetness of a sisterly love. Unfortunately, Concha died of sickness in 1865 when
she was three years old. Jose, who was very fond of her, cried bitterly at losing her.
When I was four years old, I lost my little sister Concha, and then for the first time I
shed tears caused by love and grief
8. Devoted Son of the Church At the age of three, he began to take part in the
family prayers. His mother was a devout Catholic, taught him the Catholic prayers,
when he was five years old, he was able to read haltingly the Spanish family Bible.
Father Leoncio Lopez- he is the town priest. Jose Rizal used to visit him and listen to
his stimulating opinions on current events and sound philosophy of life.
9. Pilgrimage to Antipolo On June 6, 1868, Jose and his father left Calamba to go
on a pilgrimage to Antipolo, in order to fulfill his mothers vow which was made
when Jose was born. It was the first trip of Jose across Laguna de Bay. After
praying at the shrine of the Virgin of Antipolo, Jose and his father went to Manila. It
was the first time Jose saw Manila. They visited Saturnina, who was then a boarding
student at La Concordia College in Sta. Ana.
10. Artistic Talents Since early childhood Rizal revealed his God-given talent for
art. At the age of five, he began to make sketches with his pencil and to mold in clay
and wax objects.
11. All right laugh at me now! Someday when I die, people will make monuments
and images of me!
12. First Poem by Rizal Rizal possessed a God-given gift for literature. Since early
boyhood he had scribbled verses on loose sheets of paper and on the textbooks of
his sisters. His mother who was a lover of literature, noticed his poetic inclination
and encouraged him to write poetry. At the age of eight, Rizal wrote his first poem
in the native language entitled Sa Aking mga Kababata (To My Fellow Children).
13. TO MY FELLOW CHILDREN Whenever people of a country truly love The
language which by heavn they were taught to use That country also surely liberty
pursue As does the bird which soars to freer space above. For language is the final
judge and referee Upon the people in the land where it holds sway; To make our
human race resembles in this way The other living beings born in liberty.
14. Whoever knows not how to love his native tongue Is worse than any beast or
evil smelling fish. To make our language richer ought to be our wish The same as
any mother loves to feed her young. Tagalog and the Latin language are the same
And English and Castilian and the angels tongue; And God, whose watchful care
oer all is flung, Has given us His blessing in the speech we claim, Our mother
tongue, like all the highest that we know Had alphabet and letters of its very own;
But these were lost --- by furious waves were overthrown Like bancas in the stormy
sea, long years ago.
15. First Drama by Rizal Rizal, who was eight years old, wrote his first dramatic
work which was in Tagalog comedy. It is said that it was staged in a Calamba festival
and was delightfully applauded by the audience.
16. Rizal as Boy Magician Since early manhood Rizal had been interested in
magic. With his dexterous hands, he learned various tricks. He entertained his town
folks with magic-lantern exhibitions. In later years when he attained manhood, he
continued his keen predilection for magic. He read many books on magic and
attended the performances of the famous magicians of the world.
17. Influences on the Heros Boyhood 1. Hereditary Influence 2. Environmental
Influence 3. Aid of Divine Providence
18. Hereditary Influence From his Malayan ancestors, Rizal inherited his love for
freedom, his innate desire to travel, and his indomitable courage. From his
Chinese ancestors, he derived his serious nature, frugality, patience, and love for
children. From his Spanish ancestors, he got his elegance of bearing, sensitivity to
insult, and gallantry to ladies. From his father, he inherited a profound sense of
self-respect, the love for work, and the habit of independent thinking. And from
his mother, he inherited his religious nature, the spirit of self-sacrifice, and the
passion for arts and literature.
19. Environmental Influence The scenic beauties of Calamba and the beautiful
garden of the Rizal family stimulated the inborn artistic and literary talents of Jose
Rizal. The religious atmosphere at his home fortified his religious nature. His
brother, Paciano, instilled in his mind the love for freedom and justice. From his
sisters, he learned to be courteous and kind to women. His three uncles, inspired
him to develop his artistic ability, to develop his frail body and intensified his
voracious reading of good books.
20. Father Leoncio Lopez, fostered Rizals love for scholarship and intellectual
honesty. The death of his sister Concha and the imprisonment of his mother,
contributed to strengthen his character, enabling him to resist blows of adversity in
later years. The Spanish cruelties and abuses awakened his spirit of patriotrism
and inspired him to consecrate his life and talents to redeem his oppressed people.
21. Aid of Divine Providence Rizal was providentially destined to be the pride and
glory of his nation. God had endowed him with the versatile gifts of a genius, the
vibrant spirit of a nationalist, and the valiant heart to sacrifice for a noble cause.

18. In 1875, inspired by Father Sanchez, he wrote more poems such as:
Filicitacion (Felicitation) El Embarque: Himno a la Flota de Magallanes (The

circumnavigate the world) El Combate: Urbiztondo Terror de Jolo (The Battle:
Urbiztondo, Terror of Jolo)
19. In 1876, Rizal wrote poems on various topics: Un Recuerdo a Mi Pueblu (In
Memory of My Town) Alianza Intima Entre la Region Y La Buena Educacion

Lustre La Patria (Through Education the Country Receive Light) E Cultivero Y El

Despedida de los Colegiales (A Farewell Dialogue of the Students)
21. My First Inspiration Why falls so rich a spray of fragrance from the bowers of
the balmy flowers upon this festive day? Why from woods and vales do we hear
sweet measures ringing that seem to be the singing of a choir of nightingales? Why
in the grass below do birds start at the wind's noises, unleashing their honeyed
voices as they hop from bough to bough? Why should the spring that glows its
crystalline murmur be tuning to the zephyr's mellow crooning as among the flowers
it flows? Why seems to me more endearing, more fair than on other days, the
dawn's enchanting face among red clouds appearing? The reason, dear mother, is
they feast your day of bloom: the rose with its perfume, the bird with its harmonies.
And the spring that rings with laughter upon this joyful day with its murmur seems
to say: "Live happily ever after!" And from that spring in the grove now turn to hear
the first note that from my lute I emote to the impulse of my love.

cherishing nostalgic memories of lost love

snarl, he turned upon Rizal, whipped out his sword and brutally slashed his back.
9. Rizal reported the incident to General Primo de Rivera, the Spanish Governor
General of the Philippines at that time but nothing came out because he was an
Indio and the accused was a Spaniard. Later in a letter to Blumentritt dated March
21, 1887, he related, I went to the Captain-General but I could not obtain justice;

11. Rizal beseeched the Filipino youth to rise from the lethargy; to let their genius
mind fly swiftly the wind and descend with art and science to break the chains that
have long bound the spirit of the people. Reasons why Rizals Poem was a Classic in
Philippine Literature: 1. It was the first gr eat poem in Spanish written by a Filipino,
whose merit was recognized by Spanish Literary Authorities. 2. It expressed for the
first time the nationalistic concept that the Filipinos were the fair hope of the
Fatherland.

shrine of the Birhen Maria de los Dolores. he was accompanied by his sisters
Saturnina , Maria, and Trinidad and their female friends. They took a casco (flat-
bottom sailing vessel) from Calamba to Pakil, Laguna, and stayed at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Manuel Regalado, whose son Nicolas was Rizals friend in Manila.
17. Rizal and his companions were fascinated by he famous Turumba (people
dancing in the streets during the procession in honor of the miraculous Birhen Maria
de los Dolores) Rizal was infatuated by a pretty girl colegiala, Vicenta Ybardolaza,
who skillfully played the harp at the Regalado home. Reasons why Rizal and his
company made side trip to the neighbouring town of Pagsanjan: 1. It was the native
town of Leonor Valenzuela 2. To see the world famed Pagsanjan Falls.
18. Rizal was the champion of the Filipino students in their fights against the
arrogant Spanish students. In 1880, Rizal founded a secret society of Filipino
students in the University of Santo Tomas called Compaerismo(Comradeship),
whose members were called Companions of Jehu, after the valiant Hebrew
general who fought the Armaeans. Galicano Apacible (Rizals cousin from
Batangas) was the Secretary. Fierce encounter near the Escolta in Manila where
Rizal was wounded on the head, and tenderly washed and dressed by Leonor Rivera
in his boarding house Casa Tomasina.

2. The Bleak Winter of 1886 was memorable in the life of Rizal for reasons: first, it
was a painful episode for he was hungry, sick and despondent in a strange city and,
second it brought him great joy, after enduring so much sufferings, because his first
novel NOLI ME TANGERE came off the press in March 1887. Like to the legendary
Santa Claus, Dr. Maximo Viola, his friend from BULACAN, arrived in BERLIN at the
height if his despondency and loaned him the needed funds to publish the novel.
3. Idea of writing a novel on the Philippines. During his stay at CENTRAL
UNIVERSAITY of MADRID His reading of HARRIET BEECHER STOWES UNCLE TOMS
CABIN inspired RIZAL to prepare a novel that would depict the miseries of the
Filipinos. January 2, 1884, during their reunion in the PATERNO residence, RIZAL
proposed the writing of a novel about the Philippines. His proposals were approved
by PATERNOS (Pedro, Maximo and Antonio), Graciano Lopez JAENA, Evaristo
AGUIRRE, Eduardo DE LETE, Julio LLORENTE, Melecio FIGUEROA and Valentin
VENTURA. But unfortunately, those friends which approved and willing to
participate in that novel, to be serious in writing, instead they wasted their time in
gambling or flirting with Spanish Senoritas. So, he wrote the Novel alone.
4. Viola, Savior of the NOLI. RIZAL in the midst of poverty, before Christmas Day of
1887, was visited by his friend Dr. MAXIMO VIOLA, a rich friend in Bulacan. Viola was
shocked to find RIZAL in a dirty place, just not to waste money for the printing of
NOLI ME TANGERE. Upon seeing his talented friends state, Viola agreed to finance
the publication of NOLI, he also lend money for RIZALs personal expenses. After
Christmas, Rizal deleted certain pages in his manuscript, including a whole chapter
Elias and Salome. February 21, 1887 Noli was finally ready for printing. With
Viola, they search for the most cheap publisher and then found out BERLINER
BUCHDRUCKEI-ACTIONS-GESSELSCHAFT which charges 300 pesos for 2,000
copies.
5. Rizal Suspected as French Spy. During the printing of NOLI, the chief of police
BERLIN visit RIZALs boarding house and requested to see his passport,
unfortunately, that time to travel with or without passports is possible. The police
chief then told him to produce a passport after 4 days. Immediately VIOLA
accompanied RIZAL in the Spanish Ambassador, the COURT of BENOMAR, who
promised to attend to the matter. But the ambassador failed to keep his promise,
but it turns out that he had no power to issue the required passport. The 4 day
ultimatum expired. RIZAL himself apologize to the chief police, while asking why has
he to be deported, the police chief answered that he was always seen visiting many
villages, thereby pronouncing him as a French SPY. RIZAL in fluent GERMAN
explained to the police, that he was a Filipino ethnologist, who visits rural areas to
observe customs and lifestyles of their simple inhabitants. The chief impressed and
fascinated on RIZALs explanation, allowed him to stay freely in GERMANY.
6. Printing of the NoliFinished. Everyday Rizal and Viola were always at the printing
shop proof reading the printed pages. March 21, 1887, the NOLI ME TANGERE came
off the press, RIZAL immediately sent the first copies to BLUMENTRITT, DR.
ANTONIO REGIDOR, G. LOPEZ JAENA, MARIANO PONCE, and FELIX R. HIDALGO.
He sent a letter to Blumentritt with the book, on the letter I am sending you a
book, my first book bold book on the life of tagalongs Filipinos will find it the
history of the last ten yearsMarch 29, 1887, in token of his appreciation and
gratitude, gave viola the galley proofs of the Noli carefully rolled around the pen
that he used with the following inscription: To my dear friend, MAXIMO VIOLA, the
first to read and appreciate my work Jose Rizal.
7. The title of the novel. NOLI ME TANGERE a Latin word which means Touch me
not that was originally from the Bible. Rizal wrote a letter to Felix Hidalgo that the
title was from the Gospel of St. Luke but Rizal made a mistake for it was from the
Gospel of St. John (chapter 20, verses 13 to 17). Touch me not; I am not yet
ascended to my father...
