Exercise 2:
1. Describe the teacher of Dr. Jose Rizal in Biñan.
- His teacher in Biñan was a severe disciplinarian. His name was
Justiniano Aquino Cruz. "He was a tall man, lean and long-necked, with
a sharp nose and a body slightly bent forward. He used to wear a
sinamay shirt woven by the deft hands of Batangas women. He knew by
memory the grammars of Nebrija and Gainza. To this add a severity
which, in my judgement I have made of him, which is all I remember."
2. Explain what happened to the martyrdom of Gom-Bur-Za.
- On January 20, 1872, two hundred Filipinos employed at the Cavite
arsenal staged a revolt against the Spanish government’s voiding of
their exemption from the payment of tributes. The Cavite Mutiny led to
the persecution of prominent Filipinos; secular priests Mariano Gómez,
José Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora—who would then be collectively
named GomBurZa—were tagged as the masterminds of the uprising.
The priests were charged with treason and sedition by the Spanish
military tribunal—a ruling believed to be part of a conspiracy to stifle
the growing popularity of Filipino secular priests and the threat they
posed to the Spanish clergy. The GomBurZa were publicly executed, by
garrote, on the early morning of February 17, 1872 at Bagumbayan.
