    LIFE IN

    HONGKONG
    Jose Rizal
    (1891-1892)
    On October 3, 1891, Rizal left
    Europe for Hong Kong.

    Upon arrival in Hong Kong on


    November 20, 1891, he began to
    work as an ophthalmic surgeon.

    Rizal’s Hong Kong Card


    His father, brother, and Silvestre
    Ubando, his brother-in-law, went to
    Hong Kong before Christmas. His
    mother and his sisters Lucia,
    Josefa and Trinidad also went to
    Hong Kong.
    Where Rizal lived in Hong Kong
    Doña Teodora was
    going blind so Rizal
    had to operate on her.
    Dr. Lorenzo P.
    Marquez, a Portuguese
    physician, helped in
    Doña Teodora building a wide clientele
    for him.
    Because of the difficulties
    encountered by his family and by
    many of his relatives and friends
    in Calamba, he conceived the
    idea of establishing a Filipino
    colony in Borneo. (Borneo
    Colonization)
    He went to Borneo on March 1892
    to establish a Filipino colony there.
    Borneo was willing to give 100
    acres of land and was good for 999
    years, free of charge. He visited
    the place and by April 20, he was
    back in Hong Kong.
    BORNEO ( Brunei)
    Graciano Lopez
    Jaena, wanted to
    join Rizal in
    Borneo. But the
    relatives of Rizal
    and his brother-in-
    law, Manuel T.
    Hidalgo, objected to
    the project.
    Rizal sent Governor-
    general Despujol a
    letter of
    congratulations at the
    same time offering to
    return to the
    Philippines.
    Instead, Despujol told the Spanish
    Consul-General in Hong Kong to
    tell Rizal not to go to Borneo and
    to take Filipinos to that proposed
    colony because the Philippines
    needed laborers. Both letters
    were not answered.
    Rizal wrote a translation of the
    “Rights of Man” which was issued
    during the French Revolution in
    1789. He also contributed articles to
    the Hong Kong Telegraph which
    was banned by the Spaniards when
    they saw that this newspaper carried
    many of Rizal’s inspiring articles on
    the need for freedom.
    On July 3, 1892, he formed La
    Liga Filipina. The most
    important document that came
    from his pen at that time was the
    Constitution and By-Laws of La
    Liga Filipina.
    But he could not stay in Hong Kong on
    May, 1892, he made up his mind to return to
    Manila for the following purposes:

    • Confer with Governor-general about the


    Borneo colonization;
    • Establish La Liga Filipina;
    • To disprove Eduardo de Lete’s accusation
    that he was comfortable in Hong Kong and
    abandoned the country’s cause of
    freedom.
    MANILA
    But before going back to Manila, he
    wrote two letters. First, addressed:
    To my Parents, Brethren and
    Friends; second, To The
    Filipinos.
    • They were kept by a friend for
    safekeeping “to be opened after his
    death”.
    He knew that he was going to be
    punished for the many books,
    articles, and essays which he had
    written against the Spanish
    government and some of the friars.
    He arrived in Manila on June 26,
    1892 with his sister, Lucia.
    Gov. Eulogio Despujol set a trap for
    him and ordered his exile to Dapitan.
    On July 6, 1892, he went
    to Malacañang and was
    arrested. He was charge
    of the following:

    • Bringing anti-friar
    pamphlets.
    •For dedicating his 2nd novel to the priests
    who had been proven traitors but were
    extolled as martyrs.
    On july 14, 1892, he sailed into
    exile in Dapitan and reached the
    place on July 17.
