Summary G.E 9 Rizal Works (Chapter 1-13)
Doña Teodora was polite, attentive, and understanding as a teacher. She was the one
who first recognized her son's talent for poetry. She inspired him to compose poetry as a result.
She told several stories to break up the monotony of memorizing the ABCs and to stimulate her
son's imagination.
Jose's parents paid private tutors to teach him at home as he grew older. Maestro
Celestino was the first, and Maestro Lucas Padua was the second. Later, the boy was tutored by
an elderly man named Leon Monroy, a former classmate of Rizal's father. Jose was taught
Spanish and Latin by this old teacher who stayed at the Rizal building. Regrettably, he did not
have a long life. Five months later, he passed away.
Following the death of a Monroy, the hero's parents agreed to enroll their gifted son in a
private school in Biñan.

Scholastic Triumphs at Ateneo de Manila (1872-1877)
The city government founded Escuela Pia (Charity School) in 1817 as a
school for poor boys in Manila. The Ateneo de Manila's first name is Escuela Pia.
The Ateneo has gained a reputation as a top-notch boys' college.
Rizal is admitted to the Ateneo de Manila on June 10, 1872 by Father Magin
Ferrando, the college registrar at the time.
Jesuit Education System – The Jesuit education system at the Ateneo was
more advanced than that of other colleges at the time.
Following the publication of Noli, Rizal decided to travel across Europe. Dr.
Maximo Viola decided to accompany him on his journey. Rizal got Paciano's
remittance of P1000, which was forwarded by Juan Luna from Paris, and
immediately paid his debt to Viola, who had lent money to print the Noli. He and
Viola began their journey in Potsdam, a city near Berlin.
A Wonderful Trip to Manila Rizal took the train from Rome to Marseilles. He
boarded the Djemnah, a streamer. He arrived in Europe five years ago on the
same steamer. There were approximately 50 passengers on board, including four
Englishmen, two Germans, three Chinese, two Japanese, a number of
Frenchmen, and one Filipino (Rizal). On July 30, he moved to the Haiphong, a
Manila-bound steamer.
The Haiphong arrived in Manila on August 5. He just lived in the city for a few
days. He returned to Manila to find it just as he had left it five years before.
Greetings from your new home! He returned to Calamba on August 8. His family
embraced him warmly, crying several tears of joy. His family started to be
concerned for his safety. Paciano did not abandon him in the event of an enemy
assault. His mother was his first patient when he opened a medical clinic in
Calamba. Since her cataracts had not yet matured, he was unable to perform any
surgical procedures. Calamba was overwhelmed with patients from Manila and
other provinces. Rizal's professional fees were fair, earning him the nickname
"Dr. Ulman."

In Honkong and Macao
The Hong Kong Journey Rizal left Manila for Hong Kong on board
the Zafiro on February 3, 1888, after a brief stay of six months in his
beloved Calamba. During the choppy China Sea crossing, he was
sick and sad. On February 7, he did not disembark from his ship
during a brief stopover at Amoy. Rizal set sail from Hong Kong
aboard the Oceanic, an American steamer, on February 22, 1888.
His destination was Japan, and although he hated the ship's meals,
he enjoyed how clean and well-run it was.

Romantic Interlude in Japan
Rizal's Arrival
Rizal is a province in the Philippines. Yokohama was the first stop.
He checked in at the Grand Hotel. Then he went to Tokyo and
stayed at the Tokyo Hotel. Juan Perez Caballero, secretary of the
Spanish Legation, paid him a visit at the Tokyo Hotel. Rizal, being a
wise man, knew that the Spanish diplomatic authorities had been
given orders to keep an eye on him. Since he had nothing to hide
from them, he accepted the invitation. Rizal moved out of the Tokyo
Hotel on March 7 and into the Spanish Legation. Perez and he
became fast friends.
Rizal was a student of Japanese. He was able to speak it within a few
days because he is a linguist.
On a cool afternoon, Rizal also ran into the Tokyo Musicians. The
musicians are Filipinos, much to his surprise.
Rizal's one-month and-a-half stay in the Land of the Cherry
Blossoms was one of the happiest times of his life (February 28-April
13, 1888)
Rizal arrived in Yokohama early Tuesday morning, February 28,
1888. Rizal stayed here from March 2 to March 7 after registering
at the Grand Hotel Tokyo. “Tokyo is more costly than Paris,” Rizal
wrote to Professor Blumentritt. The walls are formed in a cyclopean
pattern. The streets are huge and spacious.”

the Chinese and the Negros. “Belgian Streamer” Rizal's given name
– The ship's name docked in San Francisco on Saturday morning.
Two organizations have certified that Belgium is free of the cholera
outbreak. The British government of Hong Kong and the American
consul of Japan. According to the Americans, cholera is a raging
epidemic in the Far East. To ensure their safety, all passengers are
quarantined. Rizal was taken aback that there had been no
outbreak of the disease in the Far East, so he joined other
passengers in their indignation. There were 643 Chinese coolies on
board the ship.
700 bales of valuable Chinese silk were brought into the country
without being fumigated. Rizal arrived in San Francisco on Friday,
May 4, 1888, and was registered at the PALACE HOTEL, a first-
class hotel in the area. The regular rate at the PALACE HOTEL is
$4. Senator Leland Stanford is a millionaire who represents
California in the United States. In Palo Alto, California, he was also
the Founder and Benefactor of Stanford University. Grant Avenue,
which was once Dupon Street in Chinatown, is now Grant Avenue.

days. At the time, the President of the United States was Grover
Cleveland. Rizal's journey across the American continent began on
May 6, 1888, when he boarded a ferry boat from San Francisco to
Oakland, a distance of 9 miles across San Francisco Bay. Train
travel is an option.
Chapter 14
Rizal in London (1888-1889)
From May 1888 to March 1889, Rizal resided in London.
For three reasons, he chose London:
1. to improve his command of the English language
2. to read Morga's Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas and annotate it 3. London
provided him with a safe haven in which to continue his war against
Spanish tyranny.
Across the Atlantic Journey
Rizal's trans-Atlantic journey from New York to Liverpool was a fun one. On
board the City of Rome, he made several friends of various nationalities.
Rizal amused the passengers with his amazing ability to use the yo-yo as
an offensive tool. He debated social and political issues with some
American newspapermen and considered them to be lacking in geopolitics.
Life in London
On May 24, 1888, Rizal arrived in Liverpool, England, and stayed at the
Adelphi Hotel. Rizal traveled to London the next day.
He stayed at Dr. Antonio Ma. Regidor's house as a guest.
By the end of May, he had joined the Beckett family as a boarder.
Rizal found the Beckett house to be ideally situated since it was close to
public parks and the British Museum. He met Dr. Reinhold Rost, the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs' librarian and an expert on Malayan languages
and customs. Rizal was described by Dr.Rost as "a pearl of a man" (una
perla de hombre) Rizal spent a lot of time in the British museum, poring
through the pages of Morga's Sucesos and other rare Philippine historical
works. Updates from home

Chapter 16
In Belgian Brussels (1890)
Following his arrival, Rizal sought out a printing shop that could provide him
with the best price for the publication of his novel. He discovered that F. Meyer-
Van Loo Press would print his book on a monthly basis. To cover the down
payment and early partial payments, he pawned all of his valuables. For the
copies of Morga's Sucesos that were sold in Manila, he obtained money from
Basa and 200 pesos from Arias.
Rizal left Europe for Hong Kong after the release of El Filibusterismo. From
November 1891 to June 1892, he lived there.
Rizal boarded the steamer Melbourne bound for Hong Kong on October 18,
1891 in Marseilles. During the voyage, he started work on his third Tagalog
novel.
Rizal's unfinished novels include Makamisa, Dapitan, and another untitled book.
Rizal referred to his journey as "heavenly." Over 80 people boarded the ship,
the majority of whom were Europeans, with two Spaniards on their way to
Amoy. Rizal was the only Asian among them, and his multilingualism astounded
his fellow travelers.
On November 20, 1891, Rizal arrived in Hong Kong. Jose Basa welcomed him to
Number 5 D' Aguilar Street, where he also established a medical clinic.
The arrival of his father, brother, and Silvestre Ubaldo in Hong Kong just before
Christmas in 1891 brought him joy. His mother and sisters Lucia, Josefa, and
Trinidad arrived not long after. Rizal's Christmas was one of the happiest in his
life since he was reunited with his family.
Rizal decided to return to Manila in May of 1892. He gave two sealed letters to
his friend Dr. Marques for safekeeping, with the inscription "to be opened after
my death."
Rizal and his sister Lucia arrived in Manila at noon on June 26, 1892. He stayed
at the Hotel de Oriente, which was directly across from Binondo's chapel.
Rizal boarded a train in Tutuban Station on June 27 to pay a visit to his friends.
Rizal returned to Malacaan Palace on Wednesday, July 6 to continue his series
of interviews. The governor general then handed him some handwritten leaflets
(Pobres Frailes) that he said were discovered in Lucia's pillow cases. Rizal said he
didn't have the leaflets because they were extensively searched upon arrival
from Hong Kong and found to be empty. Despite his denials and repeated
demands for an investigation, he was arrested and taken to Fort Santiago.
Rizal was carried to the steamer Cebu, which was sailing to Dapitan, on July 15,
1892. Rizal was handed over to Captain Ricardo Carnicero, the commandant of
Dapitan, on July 17th. His four-year exile in Dapitan lasted from July 31, 1896.
Rizal won the Manila Lottery with a prize of 6,200 pesos on September 21, 1892. He
gave his winnings to his father and friend Basa, and he put the rest into agricultural
land purchases.
He had religious debates with Father Pastells during his stay in Dapitan. They
discussed their points of view and made observations about one another. Rizal and
Pastells remained good friends despite their religious differences.
He was also able to reconnect with his Ateneo tutor, Father Sanchez. Father Pastells
tasked Father Sanchez with persuading Rizal to abandon his "religious mistakes." Rizal
and Father Sanchez had religious disagreements, but Sanchez's efforts were futile.
In Dapitan, Rizal practiced medicine and had a large patient base. He gave the poor
free medicine. He could also able operate his mother's right eye. Rizal was also
fascinated by medicinal plants, which he applied to some of his poor patients.
Rizal also designed a water system for Dapitan, which modern engineers consider to
be very impressive. He also became a tutor, instructing Dapitan's young people. He
also devised a plan to improve the town plaza.
Rizal was a farmer as well. On his fields, he implemented new agricultural methods
that he had seen in Europe and America. He urges Dapitan farmers to abandon their
antiquated tillage scheme and follow modern methods. He bought some farm
equipment in the United States.
Rizal was involved with Josephine Bracken. When Josephine accompanied his father
to the Rizal clinic, they first met. Their partnership lasted one month before they
agreed to tie the knot. Dapitan was a happy place for the two of them. They had a
son, but he died after only three hours of life.
Rizal's exile in Dapitan came to an end on July 31, 1896. Rizal, Josephine, Narcisa,
Angelica, and his three nephews, as well as six students, boarded the steamer Espana.
Almost the entire town of Dapitan had gathered on the beach to bid him farewell
Rizal left Cebu on August 3 and traveled to Iloilo. The ship then sailed to Capiz and
then on to Romblon before arriving in Manila.
He missed the ship to Spain, but was able to right the Spanish cruiser Castilla at
midnight the same day.
Rizal was transferred to the steamer Isla de Panay, which was sailing to Barcelona,
Spain, on September 2. The steamer left Manila Bay the next morning.
The steamer arrived in Singapore on September 7 in the evening. Rizal was among the
passengers who went shopping and sightseeing. There were more Chinese merchants
than Indians, according to Rizal. He went out and bought a Chinese gown. Don Pedro
stayed in Singapore with his son. He advised Rizal to remain behind as well, taking
advantage of the British law's security. Rizal, on the other hand, followed him all the
way to Spain. On September 8, the steamer departed Singapore.
On September 25, he saw the steamer Isla de Luzon, which was loaded with Spanish
troops, leave the Suez Canal. A passenger told Rizal on September 28, a day after the
steamer Isla de Panay left Port Said, that he would be arrested by Governor General
Blanco and sent to Cueta Jail. Rizal was shocked by the news and realized he had been
duped.
His imminent arrest had not yet been made public. Captain Alemany, on the other
hand, informed him on September 30 that he should remain in his cabin until further
orders from Manila arrived. He carried out the instructions given to him.
The steamer anchored at Malta on the same day, but he was unable to land. Through
a small window, he could see what was going on.
The Isla de Panay arrived in Barcelona on October 3 with Rizal as a prisoner on board.
Rizal was imprisoned in his cabin for three days under close guard. Rizal became
aware of the city's celebration of St. Francis of Assisi's feast day on October 4. It was
3:00 a.m. Rizal was escorted to the Monjuich prison-fortress on October 6. He was
moved to a ship called Colon after his stay at Monjuich. Rizal was on board the Colon,
a ship packed with soldiers and officers. The ship departed Barcelona at 8:00 p.m. on
October 6.
