regarding the life of Dr. Jose Rizal

C. Motivation

Now before we proceed to our formally

discussion lets have some game. The name
of this game is “Fact or Bluff” it is based on
the famous television show Celebrity Bluff

In this game we will show statement about

our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal the player
will choose if the statement is fact or bluff

I need 3 volunteers

Anyone from the class

So students are you ready?

So here’s the questions Yes Ma’am we are all excited for this game

“Paz Pardo de Tavera a wife of Juan Luna “

is it fact or bluff

The correct answer is Fact she is a wife of

Juan Luna and they a children Bluff Ma’am

“Sojurn is a temporary stay Universal

Exposition “ is it fact or bluff

So the answer is Fact Sojurn a large

international Exposition designed to Ma’am Fact
showcase achievements of nations

For the last questions

“Rizal had a third unfinished novel” is it

fact or Bluff

I think the answer is Bluff

It is also fact known among the Historian as
makamisa this unfinished work was started
by Rizal Hong Kong in 1892. Makamisa
was not actually the little of Rizal works but
the only little of single chapter of the
unfinished Tagalog novel.

4.Lesson Proper

So our topic for today is all about Chapter

15 Rizal Second Sojourn in Paris and the
Universal Exposition of 1889

CHAPTER 15
RIZAL’S SECOND SOJURN IN
PARISAND THE UNIVERSAL
EXPOSITION OF 1889

Sojurn – a temporary stay Universal

Exposition – a large international exhibition
designed to showcase achievements of
nations
•Exposition Universelle of 1889 was a
world’s fair held in Paris from May 6 to
October 31, 1889
•It was held during the year of the 100th
anniversary of the storming of the Bastille,
an event considered symbolic of the
beginning of the French Revolution. But
despite the social parties he continued his
fruitful artistic, literary and patriotic labors.
Rizala)Published annotated edition of
Morga’s Sucesos (b)Founded three Filipino
societies (the Kidlat club, the Indios Bravos,
and the RDLM)(c)Wrote Por Telefono
DIFFICULTY OF FINDING
QUARTERS

•It was difficult for a visitor to find a living

quarter in Paris because Universal
Exposition was approaching and it attracted
thousands of tourists
•For a short time, Rizal lived with Valentin
Ventura at No. 45 Rue Maubeuge where he
polished his annotated edition of Morga’s
book
•Finally, he lived in a little room with:
Capitan Justo Trinidad and Jose Albert

So Please take note of this later on we will

be having a short quiz

LIFE IN PARIS

•Rizal spent most of his time at

Bibliotheque Nationale (National Library)
•In spare hours, he dined at the homes of the
Pardo de Taveras, Venturas, Bousteads and
Lunas
•Rizal was a good friend to the three Pardo
de Taveras who were children of Don
Joaquin Pardo deTavera, an exiled of 1872
who escaped from Marianas and lived in
France. These were1)Dr. Trinidad H.
Pardo de Tavera – physician by vocation
and philologist by avocation(2)Felix Pardo
de Tavera – physician by vocation and artist
and sculptor by avocation(3)Paz Pardo de
Tavera – wife of Juan Luna
•On June 24 1889, a baby girl was born to
Juan Luna & Paz Pardo de Tavera.
•Her baptismal godfather Rizal, named her
Maria de la Paz, Blanca, Laureana,
Hermenegilda Juana Luna y Pardo de
Tavera

So now our next Teacher will be Ma’am

RIZAL AND THE PARIS EXPOSITION

OF 1889
•Opened on May 6, 1889
•Greatest attraction of the Exposition: Eiffel
Tower built by Alexander Eiffel (984 feet
high)
•Rizal attended the ribbon cutting and saw
President Sadi Canon of the Third French
Republic
•Daily, the exposition drew a vast crowd of
20,000 people or more
•One of the features of the exposition:
International Art Competition where Felix
R. Hidalgo, Juan Luna, Felix Pardo de
Tavera and Jose Rizal himself participated
•Hidalgo’s painting was awarded second
prize and the paintings of Juan Luna and
Felix Pardo deTavera both obtained the
third prize. Rizal’s entry (a bust which he
modelled) got no prize.

KIDLAT CLUB
•Organized by Rizal on March 19, 1889
•Members: Antonio & Juan Luna, Gregorio
Aguilera, Fernando Canon, Lauro
Dimayuga, JulioLllorente, Guillermo Puatu
and Baldomero Roxas
•Temporary social society which aims
to bring together young Filipinos in French
capital to enjoy the Universal Exposition
•Why Kidlat club? It will also disappear like
lightning

INDIOS BRAVOS

•Rizal and his compatriots were amazed by

the Buffalo Bull which featured the
American Indians
•A new society, Indios Bravos “Brave
Indians” replaced Kidlat Club
•The members pledged to excel in
intellectual and physical prowess to win
admiration of foreigners
•They practiced the use of sword and pistol
•Rizal also taught them how to judo, an
Asian art of self-defense which he learned
in Japan

RDLM SOCIETY
•Another society founded by Rizal during
the Universal Exposition of 1889
•This secret society was mentioned in only
2 letters: (1) Rizal’s letter to Jose Maria
Basa, Paris, September 21, 1889 (2) Rizal’s
Letter to Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Paris,
November 4, 1889
•Members: Gregorio Aguilera, Jose Ma.
Basa, Julio Llorente, Marcelo H. Del Pilar,
Mariano Ponce,Baldomero Roxas, Father
Jose Maria Changco, Gregorio Aguilera,
Jose Ma. Basa, Marcelo H. DelPilar and
Mariano Ponce
•According to Dr. Leoncio Lopez-Rizal,
grand nephew of the hero, the society has a
symbol or countersign represented by a
circle divided into three parts by two semi
circles having in the center the interlocked
letters I and B meaning Indios Bravos and
the letters RDLM placed outside the
upper,lower, left and right sides of the circle
•The letters RDLM are believed to be
initials of the society “Redencion de los
Malayos”
•Patterned after freemasonry
•Aim: Propagation of all useful knowledge
in the Philippines and Redemption of the
Malay race
•Rizal was inspired by a famous book Max
Havelaar (1860) written by Multatuli
(pseudonym of E.D.Dekker, Dutch author)
which exposed the miserable conditions of
the oppressed Malay inhabitants of the
Netherlands East Indies under Dutch rule
•On a ketter to Blumentritt, from Rizal on
February 23, 1892 he revealed his intention
to be a leader of freedom, if not in the
Philippines, then in other lands “In Borneo”.

So the next teacher will be Ma’am Orcine

ANNOTATED EDITION OF MORGA

PUBLISHED

•Rizal’s outstanding achievement in Paris

was the publication in 1890 of his annotated
edition ofMorga’s Sucesos de las Islas
Filipinas
•It was printed by Garnier Freres
•The Prologue was written by Professor
Blumentritt
•Two things which reveals Rizal’s error:
appraising the events of the past in the light
of present standards and attack on the
Catholicism
•He dedicated this new edition to the
Filipino people so that they would know of
their glorious past.
•His dedication is as follows: “Born and
reared in ignorance of our past like almost
all of you: without voice nor authority to
speak of what we have not seen nor studied,
I deemed it necessary to invoke the
testimony of an Illostrious Spaniards who
controlled the destinies of the Philippines at
the beginning of it’s new era and personally
witnessed the last days of our ancient
nationality”
•In this historical work, Rizal proved that
the Filipinos were already civilized before
the advent of Spain

COMMENT ON MORGA’S PUBLICATION

DATE

•The title page of Rizal’s annotated edition

of Morga reads “Paris, Liberia de Garnier
Hermanos, 1890”
•From this printed date, all biographers of
Rizal came to assert that this was published
in 1890
•However, there’s a documentary evidence
that Rizal’s edition of Morga came of the
press in 1889
•On October 12, 1889, Blumentritt wrote to
Rizal from Leitmeritz that he had just
received his magnificent edition of Morga
•Rizal himself, in his letter to Dr.
Baldomero Roxas from Paris on December
31, 1889 stated “Today I sent to Lipa four
copies of Morga. Later I will send you
more”
•From Barcelona, Mariano Ponce wrote to
Rizal on December 31, 1889 saying “I
received the book”
•The three letters above thus, serve as
a proof that Rizal’s edition of Morga came
of the press in 1889.
So the next teacher will be Ma’am Tizon

RIZAL AS A HISTORIAN

•Rizal’s research studies in the British

Museum (London) and in the
Bibliotheque Nationale (Paris)enriched his
historical knowledge.
•His splendid annotations to Morga’s book
showed his familiarity with the basic
principles of historiography.
•As he once told Isabelo de los Reyes: “A
historian ought to be rigorously imparted... I
never assert anything on my own authority.
I cite texts and when I do, I have them
before me. “
•His knowledge of foreign languages
enabled Rizal to read historical documents
and books in the languages in which they
were originally written. For instance, he
read;
-Pigafetta’s “First Voyage Around
the World” in Italian
-The historical works of Marsden, Raffles,
Lord Stanley, and Wallace in English
-“The writings of blumentritt, Jagor, and
Virchrow” in German
-“The books of M. Jaquet, J. Mallat, and A.
Marche” in French
-“The works of T.H. Pardo de Tavera, Pedro
A. Paterno, Miguel Morayta, and Pi y
Margall in Spanish
 
•By his extensive reading of archival
sources and books in foreign countries,
he acquired wide knowledge not only of
Philippines history, but also the history of
European colonization in Asia.
•Aside from his excellence annotations
in Morga’s, Rizal wrote other works
which qualify him to be real historian.
Among them were:

THE PHILIPPINES WITHIN

A CENTURY

•In this article, Rizal expressed his views on

the Spanish colonization in the Philippines
and predicted with amazing accurancy the
tragic end of Spain’s sovereignity in Asia.
•He portrayed at the beginning of his article
the glorious past of the Filipino people then
described their economic stagnation and
unhappiness under the harsh bugling
Spanish rule.
•Towards the last paragraphs, he warned
Spain of what would happen to her colonial
empire in Asia if she would not adopt a
more liberal and enlightened policy towards
the Philippines

THE INDOLENCE OF THE FILIPINOS

•La Indolencia de los Filipinos – more

popularly known in its English version
•An essay written to explain the alleged
idleness of his people during the Spanish
colonization
•A critical study of the causes why the
people did not work hard during the Spanish
regime
•The main thesis was that the Filipinos are
not by nature indolent
•Rizal explained that the Filipinos used to
be industrious and hard working but the
Spanish conquest in the country brought
about a decline in economic activities
because the Filipinos abandoned their pre-
Spanish industries and worked less than
their ancestor
•Such decline in economic life was due to
certain causes:
(1)Native revolts and other internal
disorders which followed the
establishment of Spanish rule(2)The
wars which the Filipinos fought for Spain’s
enemies(3)Frightful raids on the coastal
towns and village of Christian Philippines
by Muslim pirates of Mindanao
& Sulu(4)Forced labor which compelled
thousands of Filipino laborers to work
in public works resulting in the
abandonment of their personal
works(5)Lack of stimulus to work harder
because the people could not enjoy the
fruits of their labor(6)Government neglect
and indifference to agriculture, industry,
and commerce(7)The bad example
shown by the Spaniards in despising manual
labor(8)The teaching of
Spanish missionaries that it is easier for a
poor man to enter heaven than for a rich
man, hence the Filipinos prefer not to work
and be poor so that they could easily enter
heaven after they die(9)Encouragement
and propagation of gambling by the Spanish
authorities(10) System of Spanish education
did not promote economic enterprise and
activity
•Filipinos are easy going and don’t work so
hard because they’re wise enough to adjust
themselves to their warm, tropical climate.
They don’t have to kill themselves working
hard in order to live because nature gives
them abundant harvests by working less
than those in temperate & arid countries.

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
FILIPINOLOGISTS

•The aim of the association is to study the

Philippines from the scientific and historical
point of view
•Their inaugural convention did not
materialize because the French government
discouraged the holding of conferences by
private organizations during the period of
the international exposition.

PROJECT FOR FILIPINO COLLEGE

IN HONGKONG

•This College aims to “train and educate

men of good family and financial means in
accordance with the demands of modern
times and circumstances”
•A rich Filipino resident in Paris, Mr.
Mariano Cunanan, from Mexico,
Pampanga, promised to help him raise
P40,000 as initial capital for the college.
•This project of Rizal to establish a modern
college in Hong Kong did not materialize

POR TELEFONO

•This satirical pamphlet under the

authorship of “Dimas Alang” is a witty
satire which ridicules Fr. Font
•It describes in comical vein a telephone
conversation between Fr. Font who was in
Madrid and the father provincial of the San
Agustin Convent in Manila.
•Published in a booklet form in Barcelona,
1889
•Rizal received the printed copies from
Mariano Ponce as revealed in his letter
dated August 13, 1889
•Rizal predicted much ahead of his times
that people could carry on overseas
telephonic conversations, 12 years after
the publication of Rizal’s “Por Telefono.”

CHRISTMAS IN PARIS

•Rizal and Jose Albert were living frigally

in a small room occupied by Capitan Justo
Trinidad
•They planned to have a sumptuous
Christmas dinner: fried chicken, rice, and
vegetables
•This was Rizal’s last Christmas dinner in
Paris
•After New Year Rizal had brief visit to
London for an unknown purpose but two
theoretical reasons were: To check up his
annotated edition of Morga’s Sucesos with
the original copy in the British Museum and
To see Gertrude Beckett for the last time
•In the middle of January 1890 he went
back to Paris
•That time, an epidemic influenza was
raging in Europe. Fortunately, he wasn’t
stricken by the flu.
