Jose Rizal came from a wealthy family in Calamba, Laguna, Considered one of
the largest families in those times, the 13-member-family consisted of his father
Francisco Mercado II, his mother Teodora Alonso Realonda, himself, nine sisters
and one brother. Rizal’s Lineage The Rizal paternal ascendant was Domingo Lam-
co, a full-blooded Chinese who lived in Amoy, China and arrived in the Philippines
in the closing years of the 17th century. Domingo Lam-co was married to a
Chinese half-breed named Ines de la Rosa. The Mercado-Rizal family had also
Japanese, Spanish, Malay and Negrito blood aside from their Chinese blood.
Rizal’s Parents Jose Rizal’s father Francisco was the youngest of 13 children of
Juan and Cirila Mercado. He was born in Binan, Laguna, studied in San Jose
College of Manila and died in Manila. Teodora, the mother of Jose Rizal, was a
business-minded, religious and hard working individual who was born in Santa
Cruz, Manila on November 14, 1827. She was the second child of Brijida de
Quintos and Lorenzo Alonso. Teodora had Spanish and Japanese ancestors while
the father of Teodora was a half Spaniard engineer known as Lorenzo Alberto
Alonzo. She studied at the Colegio de Santa Rosa. Teodora died in Manila in
1913. The parents of Jose Rizal were both farmers who were granted by the
Dominicans with the lease of a hacienda together with a rice farm. Rizal’s Siblings
Saturnina Rizal was the eldest of the offsprings of Francisco Mercado and
Teodora Alonso Realonda. She married Manuel Hidalgo who hailed from
Tanauan, Batangas. The only brother of Jose Rizal was Paciano Rizal and was
the second child. Paciano studied at the San Jose College in Manila and worked
as a farmer and later as a general of the Philippine Revolution. The other sisters of
Jose Rizal were Narcisa,Olympia, Lucia, Maria, Concepcion, Josefa, Trinidad and
Soledad. Soledad was the youngest child and later was married to Pantaleon
Quintero. How Jose Obtained the ‘Rizal’ Last Name The Rizal surname was
obtained by Francisco Mercado as suggested to him by a provincial governor after
the Governor General of the Philippines, Narciso Claveria, issued a decree in
1849 by which native Filipino and immigrant families were to adopt Spanish
surnames from a list of Spanish family names. Jose Rizal also obtained the
surname Rizal after dropping three other names that made up his full name. Jose
Rizal also retained Protasio as his other family name. His family never actually
recognized their Rizal surname, but Jose Rizal was forced to use it so that he can
travel freely and disassociate himself from his brother Paciano, who was notorious
because of his links with native priests who were executed after they were found
to be subversives.
