vivacity. As he made a
poem entitled A La
Senorita C.O. y P. to
express his admiration for
her.
Romance with Consuelo Ortiga y Perez

 Rizal, backed out from his

romance with Consuelo
because

with Leonor Rivera and
 (2) his friend and co-
worker in the
Propaganda Movement,
Eduardo de Lete was
madly in love with
Consuelo.
Circulo Hispano-Filipino

Shortly after arriving in

Madrid in 1882, Rizal joined
the Circulo Hispano-
Filipino, a society of liberal
Spaniards and Filipinos. As
a member of this society
Rizal wrote a poem
entitled “Me Piden Versos”
(They ask me for Verses)
Masonry

 Two reasons why he

became a Mason:
 The bad friars in the
Philippines unworthy of their
priestly habit or calling
 He needed the help of the
Masons to fight the bad
friars in the Philippines. (it
was a shield to use in his
fight against the evil forces
of tyranny)
Financial Worries
Because of drought and locust the harvest of rice
and sugarcane failed in Calamba. The manager of
the Dominican-owned hacienda increased the
rentals of the lands cultivated by the Rizal family.

On June 24, 1884 because Rizal was broke, he was

unable to eat his meals for the day. He attended his
class in the university with an empty stomach. Rizal
even participated in a Greek language contest and
won the gold medal.

 Nov. 20-22, 1884 - the city of
Madrid exploded in bloody riots
by the students of Unibersidad
Central de Madrid.
 Dr. Miguel Morayta, professor of
history, at the opening
ceremonies of the academic
year proclaimed the “freedom
of science and the teacher.”
 Such liberal view was
condemned by the Catholic
bishops of Spain, and promptly
excommunicated Dr. Morayta.
Student Demonstrations
Angered by the bigotry of the Catholic bishops,
the university students rose in violent
demonstrations.
Practically all students in various colleges joined
the massive demonstrations including Rizal,
Valentin Ventura and other Filipinos.
Many university professors openly supported the
student rioters.

in Spain. He was awarded the Degree
of Licentiate in Medicine by the
Universidad Central de Madrid on June
21, 1884.
Completion of Studies
The next academic year (1884-85) he studied
and passed all subjects leading to the Degree of

awarded his Doctors Diploma because he did
not present his thesis nor paid the corresponding
fees

Letters and was awarded the degree on June 19,
1885, his 24th birthday.
Completion of Studies
By obtaining a degree in Philosophy
and Letters, Rizal became qualified to
be a professor of humanities in any
Spanish university.
He did not bother to secure the
post-graduate degree of Doctor of
Medicine because it was also good
only for teaching.
Completion of Studies
Rizal knew, that with his
brown color and Asian racial
ancestry no friar-owned
university or college in the
Philippines would accept
him in its faculty staff.
