    This document discusses the debate around Jose Rizal's alleged retraction of his beliefs shortly before his execution. It presents two main arguments: 1) That Rizal did retract based on eyewitness accounts and documents, and 2) That the retraction is questionable because the documents were kept secret and Rizal's family's requests were denied. The conclusion acknowledges the debate but notes that Rizal was opposed to the practices of the friars in the Philippines, not Catholicism itself.

    First, the documents of retraction were kept secret so that no


    one execptthe authorites was able to see it that time.

    Secondly, When the family of Rizal ask for the
    original copy of the document as well as the
    canonical marriage with Josephine, both petitions
    denied.
    Third, Rizal burial was keep secret.
    lastly, there was no moral motive for the
    conversation.
    Conclusion
    One of the frequently debated topics surrounding our
    national hero is the Rizal retraction letter. Regarding the
    concerns, two separate groups aired their opinions and
    points of view, and they provided copious evidence to back
    up their arguments. But as I've read in numerous books and
    articles, Rizal's retractions It may be true if going to based
    to eyewitness and the document however It should also be
    point out that in first place , Rizal was no against the
    Catholic religion but was against the manner of the
    Catholic religion was practiced by the friars in the
    Philippines during his time.
