Doctor at Last!
Filipino Champions!
To honor the victory of Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo in the National Exposition of Fine Arts in Madrid in
June 25, 1884, Jose Rizal delivered a toast together with his speech “The Brindis” – A Toast honouring Juan
Luna and Felix Hidalgo. Luna won first prize for his El Spoliarium, while Hidalgo won the second prize for his
painting Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho.
In the Brindis speech, Rizal fearlessly exclaims the reason why they are gathered and that is to signify
an achievement that had shed light into what has turned out to be a dark society as the painting itself portrays.
He also gives hope to Hidalgo for illuminating the different ends of the globe and how high a respect he has for
them.
He claims that change is coming as he used the metaphors such as the “illustrious achievements of
Philippine’s children are no longer consummated within the home.” This is a clear nod to the Filipino
community in Madrid who organized the event. Most of all Rizal gives praise to the youth that fires much
enthusiasm and how their actions have made a great difference and contributed to the glory that is the
Philippines.
When he starts to talk about the Spoliarium itself, Rizal takes us deep on the reality that the canvass “is
not mute” despite all the darkness and shadow laid the mystery and horror of the slaves, and the sobs of the
oppressed. Apparently the friars at the time persecute anyone who threatens them with legal action.
He also acknowledges that the Philippines owes Spain in some way saying “Spain as a mother also
teaches her language to Filipinos” but then frowns bitter on the “midgets who secure their position.”
Apparently, he is making a jab at the elite who does everything they can in their power to stop the
education of Filipinos in fears that they may learn to defend themselves. This attitude backfired against them
big time. The innuendos in between lines spoke so deep that you are taken into a roller coaster ride of
emotions starting from joy, anger, grief and all ending up inspired.

Jose Rizal in Present-Day Madrid (By Ralf G. Roldan and Raisa A. Mabayo)
04 January 2017 MADRID — Any person, whether Filipino or not, who has undergone a class on Jose Rizal,
or heard or read about him, would know that Madrid, the Spanish capital, played an important role in the life of
the Filipino hero.
It has been over 130 years since Rizal set foot in Spain, yet he left tangible reminders of his momentous stay
in Madrid and in Spain in general.
His monument in Madrid, a replica of the Luneta monument in Manila, stands proudly at the junction of
Avenida de las Islas Filipinas and Calle Santander. Built in 1996, the monument continues to be the venue of
commemorations associated with Rizal, such as the Commemoration of the Birth Anniversary of Rizal
every June 19 and the Rizal Day Celebration in December 30, participated in by the Filipino community in
Madrid, the Knights of Rizal--Madrid Chapter, and Philippine Embassy officials.
For any Filipino visiting Madrid, the tour of the Rizal Monument becomes an obligatory homage to one of the
greatest Filipinos to have lived in Spain. Of the innumerable connections that the Philippines has with Spain, it
is Rizal that endlessly connects Madrid to Filipino tourists.
“We receive many inquiries on Rizal from Filipino tourists, and we direct them to our `Rizal Guide’ which is
downloadable from the Embassy website,” says Philippine Ambassador to Spain, Philippe J. Lhuillier.
“We are amazed by the undying interest in Rizal from many Filipinos visiting Spain,” added Ambassador
Lhuillier.

Algabeño in Barrio de Hortaleza has now been renamed Calle de Jose Rizal on the basis of a Madrid City Hall
resolution.
On 04 May 2017, the Governing Board of the City of Madrid approved changing the name of certain streets,
squares and crossings in Madrid, replacing them with alternatives contained in a report dated 24 April 2017
issued by the Commission on Historical Memory, in application of the provisions of Law 52/2007 of December
26 (otherwise known as the Historical Memory Law), which mandates the removal of coats of arms, insignias,
plaques, and other objects or commemorative mentions of the personal or collective exaltation of the military
uprising, Civil War and the Franco dictatorial repression.
Consequently, fifty-two plazas and streets in Madrid were renamed. Rizal´s name was among the illustrious list
of Spanish and foreign historical figures and events that conformed with the critera set by the Commission.
Rizal joins prominent women leaders, notable educators, and literary figures among the new names for
inclusion in the post-Franco Madrid map.
In the document issued by the Commission, the justification it provided for renaming the street “Calle de Jose
Rizal” reads:
“Filipino intellectual, educated in Spain and other European countries, polyglot and author of two famous
novels in Spanish which were critical of the action of the clergy and colonial authorities in the archipelago.
Concerned about the future of his country, he advocated administrative reforms and economic progress for the
same. According to his plan, his country should become a Spanish province with full representation in the
courts. There should also be an increase in the participation of the native clergy in the ecclesiastical
administration of the islands, and the establishment of freedom of assembly and expression and equal legal
status between the Filipino and Spanish populations. But Rizal never advocated the armed insurrection
against Spain that was launched by the Katipunan movement, which Rizal opposed until the end. Despite this,
in 1896, he was accused of being the inspirer of the revolt and shot by the Spanish authorities in 1896. Today,
he is the national hero of the Philippines.
While the physical street signs have not been changed yet, the new street names are now being used by the
local government and in many business addresses.
“We welcome the renaming of a street in Madrid to Calle de Jose Rizal. It goes to show that Rizal´s heroic
deeds for his country are recognized universally,” said Ambassador Lhuillier.
