National Hero of the Philippines

 Concepcion Rizal
"Concha" Of his sisters, it is said that Pepe loved most the
little Concha who was a year younger than him. Jose
played games and shared children stories with her,
and from her he felt the beauty of sisterly love.

When Concha died of sickness in 1865, Jose

mournfully wept at losing her. He later wrote in his
1862-1865 memoir, “When I was four years old, I lost my little
3 years old sister Concha, and then for the first time I shed
tears caused by love and grief.”
 Josefa Rizal
"Panggoy"

Jose’s letters to Josefa, the one dated

October 26 1893 is perhaps the most
fascinating. Written in English, the letter
addressed Josefa as “Miss Josephine Rizal”,
thereby making her the namesake of Rizal’s
girlfriend Josephine Bracken.
1865-1945
 Josefa Rizal

In the letter, Jose praised her sister for nearly mastering the
English language, commenting that the only fault he found in
Josefa’s letter is her apparent confusion between the terms
‘they are’ and ‘there’. Jose also wrote about the 20 pesos he
sent, the 10 pesos of the amount was supposed for a lottery
ticket.

Narcisa, and relocated to the General Paciano Rizal shrine in Los
Baños, Laguna.
 SOLEDAD RIZAL
" The Hero's Controversial Sister "

"Choleng"
youngest child of the Rizal family.
Being a teacher, she was arguably the best
educated among Rizal’s sisters.
In June 6, 1890, Jose told her that he was proud
of her for becoming a teacher through his long
and meaty letter. Jose thus counseled her to be
a model of virtues and good qualities “for the one
(1870-1929) who should teach should be better than the
persons who need her learning.”
 Rizal nonetheless used the topic as leverage in somewhat rebuking
her sister, Soledad for getting married to Pantaleon Quintero of
Calamba without their parents’ consent. “Because of you,” he wrote,
“the peace of our family has been disturbed.”
