FAMILY
AND OTHERS
As an historian
according to
Ambeth there are
times when Rizal
himself was
wrong or twisted
some facts to
project a positive
image on himself
in his writings.
Ferdinand
Blumentritt
Rizals
biographers described
Jose Alberto
as a cousin, brother, half brother or stepbrother of Teodora.
had kept
that Teodora
Alonso was
illegitimate.
As Teodoro Agoncillo
would had observed
Lahat ng lugar, ibig nilang lagyan ng historical marker na nagpapatibay na si Rizal nagpunta roon. Aba eh, kahit mga sulok na inihian ni Rizal ibig nilang lagyan ng marker!
Years later, the same Lorenzo Alberto was living-in (or married?)in Bian to Brigida Quintos.
Alberto-Quintos union produced
5 children,
one of whom was
Teodora Alonso Quintos
Alberto-Quintos family
moved
Bian to Calamba,
wherefrom
daughter
Teodora
married
Francisco
Mercado,
had 11 children,
one of whom was
Rizal.
So it is clear that
Jose Alberto
was the half brother of Teodora, the latter coming from the illegitimate branch.
Is there a
cover up?
Why?

THE OTHER
RIZAL
The Philippine
town plaza is never
complete without a
statue of Jose Rizal
in his winter coat.
But some Filipinos
do not know about
the men and
women who fought
the very revolution
Rizal condemned
as premature and
doomed to failure.
He was born on
March 7, 1851
the second to the 11
children and 10 years
older to Jose.
Called or Paciano
(short for seor or
seorita)
as a sign of respect
when addressing.

Filibuster
A legislator
who gives long
speeches in an
effort to delay
or obstruct
legislation that he
(or she) opposes.
He was secretly
responsible for
sending his
younger brother
Jose off to
Europe,
with the disapproval of their
mother. They had a long
correspondence, advising him and
sending him monthly stipend.
Paciano & Jose made a pact that they would work for the
country and thus only one should get married.
In contrast to the
fully documented
Jose,
Paciano had only
2 photographed
pictures a candid
shot without his
knowledge and of
his corps.
Grandchildren
description of their lolo
was, had very fair
complexion,
rosy cheeks,
more refine and
serious, taller and more
slender, with a nose
that is fine, beautiful
and sharp pointed, but
bow-legged.
Grandchildren
related, he was more
handsome that the
national hero and
much taller around
57, 59.
A quite man who didnt
talk much, not talk about their
brother Jose.
Their memory
about their
grandfather
came from their
grandmother
Narcisa Rizal,
the story teller
of the family.
A HERO TOO!
Many unanswered
questions left, but
nothing is definite as
of now, except that
Paciano
Rizal proves like other
heroes of the
Revolution of
of 1896 and 1898, should be rescued
from obscurity and given the rightful
place in our history
