It can only be with true passion that one can conquer and accomplish what Filipino

hero Jose Rizal had in his thirty-five-year life. Hindi sya tumigil sa pagmamahal nya
hindi lang sa kanyang bansa but also his women. Ang kanyang pagtravel sa parte ng
Pilipinas at sa ibang bansa ay ang isa sa dahilan sa ibat ibang relasyon nya sa ibat
ibang babae. There are nine women on record. Hindi natin sinasabi na lahat ng
nakarelasyon nya ay seryoso but he did pursue when he wanted to pursue, cared, at
least, and displayed his attentiveness and charm.

He documented his affairs, too, sa pamamagitan ng mabubulaklak na pananalita. At

base sa mga dokyumento, sabihin na natin na ang ating bayani ay nasa itaas na lebel
ng pagiging bolero.

Pero sa kabila ng ito, he was a big believer that women should be empowered. Ayon
sa kanyang isinulat na “To the young women of malolos” kung saan isinulat niya ito
para sa dalawampung kababaihan ng Bulacan na ipaglaban na magkaroon ng night
school para pagaralan ang Spanish.

Segunda

First love never dies they say—unless your first love is already engaged to be
married when you meet. Then you have to let it go really fast. Ito ang nangyari kay
Rizal at Katigbak, isang Batanguena na nakilala ni Rizal noong sya ay 16 years old.
Inilarawan nya itong may mapulang pisngi at magandang ngipin.

They met when the young hero visited his grandmother with his friend, Mariano
Katigbak, Segunda’s brother. The Katigbaks were close to Rizal’s grandmother, and
coincidentally, Segunda was at the grandma’s house when Rizal and Mariano arrived.
It was attraction at first sight. Segunda was also a close friend of Rizal’s sister,
Olympia, whom he visited every week at the La Concordia College. The two became
very close. However, Segunda was already engaged to be married to a man who
lived in her town, and Rizal had to stop pursuing her.

Noon meron daw kwento na torpe si rizal, so si segunda nagbigay ng artipisyal na

bulaklak tapos ang sabi pa niya ay “hindi ko ito gawa ah, gawa ito ng kapatid mo”
pero bago pa man ay alam na mismo ni rizal na gawa ito ni segunda.
Valenzuela

After Segunda came Leonor “Orang” Valenzuela, Rizal’s second object of affection,
inilarawan nya ito na matangkad na babae. Nakilala nila ang isat isa noong si Rizal ay
isang sophomore medical student sa University of Santo Tomas, during which time
he also lived at Doña Concha Leyva’s boarding house in Intramuros, Manila. Si Orang
ay 14 years old, at kapit bahay ni Rizal.

During the courtship, Rizal was said to have sent Leonor private and secret love
letters, which he wrote using invisible ink made with water and salt,  To read the
letters, Orang had to heat the letter over a candle or a lamp. Sa kasamaang palad,
si Rizal ay kailangang mamaalam kay Orang dahil sya ay lilipad papuntang Spain.

Rivera

(read the powerpoint)

Inilarawan nya ito na namumukadkad na bulaklak na may malulungkot na mata. Bago

umalis papuntang Europa, sinabi ni Rizal na nahanap na nya ang babaeng kanyang
papakasalan. But his brother, Paciano disagreed the idea, sinabi niya na unfair daw
na iwan niya si Leonor kung sila ay magpapakasal.

At kahit na maraming balakid, hindi parin tumutigil ang dalawa na mag sulat at
ipadala sa isat isa. Noong 1890, Leonor wrote a letter to Rizal na she was already
engaged kay Kipping same year na natuloy ang kasal. Sa pagpigil ng nanay niya sa
relasyon nilang dalawa, lahat ng mga sulat ni rizal ay sinunog nya sa harap ng
kanyang ina. At yung mga abo nito ay itinago niya sa laylayan ng kanyang wedding
gown.

Pagkatapos ng relasyon niya kay Leonor, nagbago ang pananaw nya sa pagmamahal o
pakikipag relasyon at iniinda nya parin ang pagmamahal niya kay Rivera.

Ortiga

(read the powerpoint)

Seiko

Rizal wrote about how he was charmed by Japan’s beauty, cleanliness, and peace
and order. But if there was one thing that almost kept him in the country where
cherry blossoms bloom most beautiful, it was a woman named Seiko Usui,
affectionately called O-Sei-San. Inilarawan ni Rizal si O sei san na elegante.

Noong 1888, si Rizal na nanggaling sa Hongkong ay nagpunta sa Japan dahil sa isang

job offer sa Spanish Legation. Noong isang araw daw ay naglalakad si Rizal nang
makita niya sa gate na naglalakad si O sei san at nabighani ang ating magiting na
bayani. Sa tulong ng isang hapong hardinero, nanghingi ng tulong si Rizal na ipakilala
siya neto. Noon ay kaunti pa lang ang alam ni rizal sa nihonggo, so ang hardinero ang
naging translator nito. Kalaunan ay marunong pala ng English at French si o sei san,
late on they started to build a relationship.

So ayun nga, is osei san ang nagsilbing guide, interpreter, teacher and etc…. Ayon sa
sabi sabi, si Rizal ay ready na mag move sa Japan at mag stay with O sei san at
mamuhay ng mapayapa. Sa kasamaang palad, si rizal ay kailngang magpunta sa san
farncisco, at ayun nga hindi sila muling nagkita. Their love was lasted for 2 months
mas mabilis pa sa average season ng Netflix series.

Gertrude

(basahin lang then kapag 2nd paragraph na) “the is not mutually shared, ika nga one
sided love ang nangyari”

Suzane

(basahin lng then sabihin sa huli) “noong nalaman nyang iniwan sya, alam na mismo ni
suzane na di talaga sya love ni rizal and tinanggap nya nalang.

Nellie

(Basahin lang the after 2nd paragraph sabihin na) “ remember a fight between luna
and rizal? Si Antonio luna kasi ay madalas na bisita ng Boustead family, nililigawan
niya si Nelly pero she was aready infatuated with Rizal. Nagresulta ito ng pag aaway
nila, na si Antonio na lasing ay nagsasabi ng masasamang salita kay Nelly, Rizal then
challenged him to a duel pero nang mahimasmasan si Antonio na realize nya na mali
sya and then nag sorry sya kay Rizal. (basa ulit ng last paragraph)
And that classmates and friends, this is how you become friends with your ex.

Bracken

While in Dapitan, late Feb 1895, Rizal met an 18 year old Irish girl. Josephine
Bracken had blue eyes, brown hair and was a happy character. Josephine Bracken
was the woman who stayed with Rizal until his execution in 1896. She was also,
allegedly, the woman whom Rizal married. Pero ang kanilang pagkasal ay
pinagdedebatehan parin over the years.
