    Rizal did not enjoy his time at the University of Santo Tomas for several reasons: he faced hostility from Dominican professors, experienced racial discrimination as a Filipino student, and was dissatisfied with the teaching methods. While there, he founded a secret society called Companerismo for Filipino students to combat the racial slurs of "Indio Chongo" used against them by Spanish students. Rizal also studied surveying at Ateneo de Manila, earning the title of expert surveyor. His time in university helped inspire his novels which ignited the Philippine revolution against Spanish rule.

    Rizal in Santo Tomas

    Reason Rizal didnt enjoy in Santo Tomas:

    2. Racial discrimination against Filipino Students.
    3. Dissatisfaction with the method of instruction.

    hetook the vocational course leading to a title of
    porito agrimensor
    (expert surveyor)). In those days it should be remembered, thecollege for boys in Manila
    offered vocational courses in agriculture,commerce, mechanics and surveying.

    Students Secret Society in UST


    1880: Rizal founded Companerismo (Comradeship), a secret society of Filipino UST
    students. The members were called Companions of Jehu.

    He was the chief of the society.


    His cousin, Galicano Apacible was the secretary.

    Racial Discrimination in UST

    Spanish Students called the Filipino Students Indio Chongo in turn Filipino students
    called the Spanish Students Kastila Bangus.

    The Council of the Gods (1880)


    Another literary contest by the Artistic-Literary Lyceum to commemorate the fourth
    centennial of the death of Cervantes, Spanish and author of Don Quixote.

    Rizal submitted an allegorical drama, El Consejo de los Dioses (The Council of the
    Gods)

    The allegory was based on Greek classics

    Rizal was aided by Father Rector of the Ateneo in securing the needed reference
    materials

    Ironically, his novels (smuggled copies) inspired such a strong sense of national
    consciousness that they ignited the Philippine revolution against the Spanish Crown.
    Intention of Rizal Jupiter, the Roman chief of the Gods, is planning to give three grandiose
    gifts (a golden lyre, trumpet, and a golden crown made of laurels) crafted by Vulcan to a
    mortal who did best in literature. Juno, Jupiters wife, suggests Homer, the writer of Iliad.
    Meanwhile, Venus, the goddess of beauty, recommends Virgil, author of Aedes. On the
    other hand, Minerva (goddess of wisdom) goes for Cervantes, author of Don Quixote.
    With this disagreement, the other gods were also supposed to fight but were stopped by
    Jupiter by allowing Justice (a goddess not found in the original Roman lineup yet
    introduced by Rizal in his allegory) to weigh the circumstances without any bias in her
    balance. She weighed the Aedes with the Iliad and found them equal. The same goes
    with Don Quixote. With this, Jupiter decided to give the lyre to Virgil, the trumpet to
    Homer, and the laurels to Cervantes. Summary of the Play El consejo de los Dioses (Council
    of the Gods) By Jose Rizal.

    Reason on why Rizals mother was imprisoned:


    Jose Rizal's mother was imprisoned on the basis of false charges. She was accused of
    being an accomplice in the poisoning of a woman.
