 MAESTRO JUSTINIANO CRUZ

“The schoolmaster was a tall, thin man with a long

neck and a sharp nose. His body leaned slightly
forward. He wore a shirt of sinamay that had been
woven by the deft fingers of Batangas women. He
knew Latin and Spanish grammar by heart; but his
severity, I believe now, was too great. This is all that I
remember of him. His classroom was in his own house,
only some thirty meters from my aunt’s home”.

Rizal brawls
“I do not want to take up time with telling about the
beatings I got, nor shall I attempt to say how it hurt when I
received the first ruler blow on my hand. I used to win in
the competitions, for no one happened to be better than I. I
made the most of these successes. But in spite of the
reputation I had of being a good boy, rare were the days in
which my teacher did not call me up to receive five or six
blows on the hand. When I went out with my companions,
they jokingly called me nicknames. But individually they
used to be so kind to me that I thought little of their
teasings. A few of them were very good and always treated
me well. Among these few was a second cousin of mine.
Later, some of them were my schoolmates in Manila and
then it became my turn to tease”.
