The Letter

Rizal writing to blumentritt from

HongKong on february 23, 1892,
revealed his intention to be a
leader of freedom if not in the
phillipines, then in other lands in
borneo.

The Letter Again

I shall not be a planter(plantador) but the
leader(caudillo) of the planter who are thinking of
emigrating there with me. I feel flattered by, the idea
that I can still serve my country with my pen. You
know very well that always, at all times, I am ready to
serve my fatherland not only with my pen, but also
with my life whenever my fatherland would demand
this sacrifice. But as I see that I am getting old, my
ideals and dreams are fading; if it is possible for me to
give freedom to my country, at least I should like to
give it to these noble compatriots in other lands.

Annotated Edition Of Morga

Published

Publication of his annotated

edition of morgas sucesos in 1890
which he wrote in the british
museum. It was printed by garnier
freres. The prologue was written
by professor blumentritt, upon
rizals request.

Rizals Errors According To

Blumentritt

1. Rizal commits the errors of many historians

in appraising the events of the past in the
light of present standards
2. Rizals attacks on the church were unfair
and unjustified because the abuses of the
friars should not be constructed to mean
that catholicism is bad.
