Another poem entitled, Un Recuerdo de Mi Pueblo (In Memory of My Town) This poem was written in 1876.


Un Recuerdo de Mi Pueblo (In Memory of My Town)

While at your blue sky I gazed, neither love nor

Stenderness

Did I lack, for in Nature my pleasure depended.

Tender childhood, beautiful town, rich fountain or

happiness

Or harmonious melodies that banish sorrows!

Return to my heart, return my gentle hours

Return as the birds return when flowers are in bloom!

But alas! Adieu! Eternally keep vigil over your peace, joy

and

Repose, Genie of goodness who kindly his gifts

presents with love;

For you my fervent wishes, for you my constant Yearning

To learn and to heaven I pray that you your candor keep!

When I recall the days, that my boyhood saw

By the green banks of a murmuring lagoon;

When I recall the murmur of the wind

That sweetly amused by brow with delicious

freshness;

I recall, sadly recall your countenance, infancy

precious

That a loving mother Oh! Succeeded in embellishing

I recall a simple town, my contentment, happiness

and cradle,

by the fresh lagoon, seat of my love.

The Creator I saw in the grandeur of your secular

forests;

Sorrows on your bosom, never did I come to know;



When Jose Rizal was fifteen years old and a student of Ateneo, he composed a poem entitled “Recuerdo a Mi Pueblo” (In Memory of My Town) which vividly described his childhood years in Calamba.

Religion and Good Education• Por La Educacion Recibe Lustre

(Through Education The Country Recieves Light).


To The Child Jesus

Ah, woe! Celestial king, Who mortal from dost

keepWoulds’t rather than be

Sovereign Be Sheperd of Thy Sheep

How, God-Child hast Thou come

To earth in cave forlorn?Does fortune now deride

TheeWhen Thou art scarcely

born?



Por La Educacion RecibeLustre (Through Education The Country Receives Light)

• Education for truth and knowledge; education for refinement; and education for love of one’s country

Influenced Rizal ‘s goal and life

Rizal, would have been a member of the Society of Jesuits in the Philippines

Seventeen years later, in his letter written in Paris, April 18, 1889, to Mariano Ponce, he said:



“Without 1872, there would not now be either a Plaridel or Jaena, or Sanciangco, nor would there exist brave and generous Filipino colonies in Europe: without 1872 Rizal would be a Jesuit now and, instead of writing Noli Me Tangere, would have written the opposite. At the sight of those injustices and cruelties while still a child my imagination was awakened and I swore to devote myself to avenge one day so many victims and with this idea in mind I have been studying, and this can be read in all my works and writings. God will someday give me an opportunity to carry out my promise.”



In 1891, he dedicated his second novel, El Filibusterismo, to GomBurZa

The First Taste of Injustice


Imprisonment of Teodora Alonzo

Jose Alberto got back from a business trip in Europe and found out the infidelity of his wife.

Rizal also acknowledged the help of two of the most famous lawyers in Manila who are Francisco de Mercaida and Manuel Marzan



"Our mother was unjustly snatched away from us and by whom? By some men who had been our friends and whom we treated as honored guests. We learned later that our mother got sick, far from us and at an advanced age. My mother was defended by Messrs. Francisco de Mercaida and Manuel Marzan, the most famous lawyers of Manila. She finally succeeded tl be acquitted and vindicated in the eyes of her judges, accusers and even her enemies, but after how long? After two and a half years."

Rizal’s First Encounter with the Guardia Civil


Encounter with Guardia Civil

Rizal’s first encounter with the guardia civil is also the same time he experienced his first taste of Spanish brutality.



His first encounter with the guardia civil was in 1878 while he is currently a freshman student at UST.

One night while he was walking on a dark street, he passed by a man without giving any greetings (salute or bow) and that man turned out to be the lieutenant of Guardia Civil. He turned upon Rizal and whipped out his sword, brutally slashing his back



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.

In a letter addressed to Blumentrittdated March 21, 1887, he related, “I went to the Captain-General but I could not obtain justice; my wound lasted two weeks.”
