LA LIGA FILIPINA
was a progressive
organization created by Dr.
José Rizal in the Philippines
in the house of Doroteo
Ongjunco at Ilaya Street,
Tondo, Manila in 1892. The
organization derived from La
Solidaridad and the
Propaganda movement.
THIS IS THE HOUSE
OF JOSE RIZAL
LOCATED IN
CALAMBA, LAGUNA
NOLI ME TANGERE
the colonization of the
country by Spain to
describe perceived
inequities of the Spanish
Catholic priests and the
ruling government.
EL FILIBUSTERISMO
is the second novel written
by Philippine national hero
José Rizal. It is the sequel to
Noli me tangere and, like the
first book was written in
Spanish. It was first
published in 1891 in Ghent.
THERE ARE THREE ANIMALS
NAMED AFTER RIZAL.
These species of animals were the
ones he collected while he was an
exile in Dapitan and include
Apogonia Rizali (Heller), a type of
small beetle; Draco Rizali
(Wandolleck), a species of flying
dragon; and Rachophorous Rizali
(Boetger), a species of toad.
WHEN HE WAS STUDYING IN SPAIN,
RIZAL HAD TO PAWN A RING
OWNED BY HIS SISTER SATURNINA
JUST TO PAY FOR HIS EXAMS.
But he didn’t want his
family to get worried, so he
only mentioned his victories
and excellent grades in the
letters addressed to his
family.
RIZAL IS REGARDED BY MANY AS
THE “FATHER OF PHILIPPINE
COMICS” BECAUSE OF SOME
HUMOROUS ILLUSTRATIONS HE
MADE IN GERMANY.
The said drawing, entitled “The baptism
of two brothers,” was inspired by the
German cartoon “Max and Moritz” and
was made by Rizal to entertain the
children of his landlord, Pastor Ulmer.
The original copy is now preserved in
the National Library of the Philippines.
RIZAL’S ORIGINAL EXECUTION
PHOTO FEATURES A DOG, THE
MASCOT OF THE FIRING
SQUAD.
It is said that the dog ran
around the corpse whining after
a soldier fired one last shot in
Rizal’s head to make sure he
was dead
RIZAL STUFFED UNKNOWN
PAPERS IN HIS POCKETS AND
SHOES ON THE EVE OF HIS
EXECUTION.
HE DID THIS, ASSUMING THAT HIS
CORPSE WOULD BE TURNED OVER
TO HIS FAMILY AFTER THE
EXECUTION. BUT AS WE ALL KNOW,
HIS BODY WAS DUMPED BY
SPANISH OFFICIALS IN AN
UNMARKED GRAVE IN PACO
CEMETERY. THE PAPERS HAD SINCE
DETERIORATED, THE CONTENTS OF
WHICH WERE NEVER IDENTIFIED.
