The Rizalista religious movements refers to the new religious movement and a form
of Folk Catholicismadopted by a number of ethnic religious groups in
the Philippines that believe in the divinity of Jose Rizal, the Philippines' de facto national
hero. Many of these sects or religious movements believe that Rizal is still living and
that he will deliver his followers from oppression and poverty. Rizalist groups have
differing views on the divinity of Jose Rizal. Some believe that he is God himself, some
believe that Rizal was the second son of God, the reincarnation of Christ. Some of
these groups also identify Rizal as the god of the pre-Spanish Malay religion.[1] Some
only see as Rizal as a spiritual guide.[2] Leaders of the sect often claim that key people
in the Philippine Revolution including Rizal himself were reincarnation of the Virgin
Mary. Many of these groups claim that the only key to salvation is by joining their
group.[3]
The Rizalist religious movement ranged from colorums which were prevalent during the
1920s up to the 1930s to Philippine Benevolent Missionary Association, which was led
by Ruben Ecleo.[3] Among these movements are the Iglesia Sagarada Familia
(lit. Church of the Holy Family), Lipi ni Rizal (lit. Clan of Rizal), Pilipinas Watawat
(lit. Philippine Flag), the Molo, and the Iglesia ng Watawat ng Lahi (lit. Church of the
Race's Flag).[2]
Some of these groups regularly participate in Rizal Day celebrations in Rizal Park as an
act of devotion towards Rizal.[4]
