 HAPPY HOMECOMING
August 8, 1887 Rizal returned to Calamba.

Rizal established a medical clinic in Calamba,

treating his mother's blindness and establishing
a gymnasium for young people. He also
introduced European sports, but suffered a
failure to see Leonor Rivera.
Rizal was determined to come back to the Philippines for
the following reasons:

To operate his mother's eyes

To serve his people who had long been oppressed by
Spanish tyrants.
To find out for himself how the Noli Me Tangere and
his other writings were affecting Filipinos and
Spaniards.
To inquire why Leonor Rivera remained silent.
 STORM OVER THE NOLI
As Rizal was peacefully living in Calamba, his
enemies plotted his doom.
Governor General Emilio Terrero - wrote to Rizal
requesting to come to Malacañang Palace.
—Somebody had whispered to his ear that the Noli contains subversive
ideas.
-Rizal explained to him that he merely exposed the truth, but dic not
advocate subversive Ideas.
-He was pleased by Rizal's explanation and curious about the book, he
asked for a copy of the novel.
-Rizal had no copy that time but promised to send one for him.
He denied that his novel contains subversive
idea, to prove it he finds a copy of his novel
and fortunately the governor-general is a
Iberal-minded and he believed in Rizal.
