Rizal’s Stinginess (An Excerpt) Essay
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
AmbethOcampo Rizal without the Overcoat

(1) There are two incidents in Rizal’s life regarding money from which I have never recovered: one
was his being kuripot, the other was the pride and seriousness with which he took his stinginess.
(2) Rizal was once invited to a New Year’s party or something. Of course it was potluck affair, and
to make a long story short, Rizal was supposed to bring the champagne. Well, aside from his sermons
about taking your studies seriously and his unsolicited advice on drinking, gambling, womanizing –
three things the Filipinos were famous for – Rizal did not like the idea of supplying the drinks for this
party. So he stood up and in typical killjoy fashion told everyone that he was not paying for the drinks,
inabonohanlangniya; so before he leaves, will everyone please pay their share? Everyone was stunned
and they probably thought he was joking, but then he passed his hat around; then they knew he was
serious. Much later Rizal would wonder why he was not popular with the Filipino community and could
not get elected unanimously to their occasion.
(3) The second incident was the time when his allowance was delayed. He didn’t want to let his
German landlady know he was missing his meals, so he would leave his apartment during lunch and
dinner time and walk around the city, peeking and salivating while watching people in restaurants and
bars. When he had walked for an hour or two, he would return to his apartment to give the impression
to his landlady that he had gone out to eat.
(4) Today I want to show you Rizal’s expenses for January 1884, when he was a student in Madrid.
His diaries and notebooks are filled with expense accounts, which gives us a glimpse into the character
of our national hero. You will have to browse through all these lists to discern his lifestyle, but because of
space limitations, his one month’s expenditures should be enough to give you an idea.
Jan 4 For the barbershop and the cursed Christmas present 1.10 [Even in Spain during the nineteenth
century they had people greeting you with ―Merry Christmas, Sir!‖ and open palms. Rizal, like all of us
today, was not spared.]
Jan 5 Los CuatroReynos de la Naturalezasubscription 14.20
Jan 6 Wandering Jew 10.00 Works of Horace ad Dumas 2.50 [Rizal spent a great deal on books.]
Supper with friend 32.00
Jan 9 Without spending a cent. [Hooray!]
Jan 12 Bath 2.00 [Rizal’s room was probably without a toilet and bath. It’s cheaper. So he will have to
pay for each bath he takes or he pays a monthly fee. I do hope he took a daily shower. In Spain,
Filipinos are sometimes scolded for bathing daily. They say it is an unhealthy practice.] Teatro de la
Comedia2.10 A dish. 30 A newspaper and refreshment .35
Jan 15 One penknife .30
Jan 16 Postage stamps 1.30
Penknife 1.50
Ball of yarn .50
Jan 20 One-tenth of a lottery ticket 3.00 [Every week Rizal bought what we know today as
―Sweepstakes‖. He never won in Spain, but when he was in exile in Dapitan, he won enough to buy
himself an 18-hectare (?) estate called Talisay.]
Laundry woman 3.00 [I thought he washed his own clothes, hindipala.]
Domestic postage stamp .10
Jan 27 Today I had my picture taken at Otero 10.00 [Rizal loved having his picture taken which is why
we have a full documentation of him.]
Half-dozen postcards with cover 3.90
One-tenth of lottery ticket 3.00
A box of matches .10
Jan 29 Candles (one pound, 6) 1.25 [Before he used an alcohol burner, he used candles in his room,
which, means his apartment must have really been cheap with no gaslight.] Tickets for the dance 1.00
[In his diary he mentions regularly attending theater and balls and writes, ―Today I was at the
masquerade ball which I enjoyed fairly well. I dance almost all the numbers. Two masked persons were
teasing me, yet no matter how hard I tried to find out who they were I couldn’t.‖ Can you imagine Rizal
dancing?] Coffee, refreshments and tip (Night watchman) 1.70
Jan 30 For review for the degree 30.00
Postage stamps for letters and periodicals 2.80
A handkerchief .45
Streetcar .30
Excelsior Ball 2.50
Jan 31 One book 1.00
Arte de Estudiar2.50 ―
Money spent 257.88. Food for this month 71.51.Total 329.63. This expense, which for me is large,
is due to the review, the mat, and the dinner which I gave. The books I bought also contributed to it.
(5) If only all our heroes left such detailed lists we would not have a hard time figuring out what
they were like as ordinary people. (12/21/89)
