However, historians have found no evidence that Rizal actually wrote this poem when he was a child, as claimed. The poem uses orthography and words that were not in use during Rizal's childhood. While the poem promotes the importance of one's native language, like Rizal's ideals, tracing its provenance finds that others likely wrote it instead. Identifying the true author is important to correct the widespread miseducation of Filipino children about the poem's origins.

    Greatest hoaxes in

    the philippine history


    "sa aking mga
    kabata"
    Jose Rizal wrote "Sa Aking mga Kabata" in his
    childhood.
    HOAX about the
    said topic:
    During Filipino class, you would often hear your
    teacher say “Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika
    mahigit pa sa hayop at malansang isda.” Well, many
    of us believe that this famous quote appeared in the
    poem “Sa Aking mga Kabata” that was written by
    Dr. Jose Rizal.
    The poem “Sa Aking Mga Kabata,”

    other written in Tagalog about


    embracing one’s native language,
    is often attributed to Dr. Jose

    claims Rizal, who supposedly wrote it


    when he was seven years old

    and
    supposed to
    “proof,” according to some, is his
    precocious nature and love of
    country

    be The poem was widely taught in


    Philippine schools to point out Rizal's
    precociousness and early

    facts development of his nationalistic


    ideals
    THE TRUTH UNTOLD
    #1
    Historians such as Ambeth Ocampo, have
    researched and written in opposition of this,
    stating that there’s no evidence (whether it be a
    manuscript, a published byline, or an assertion
    from Rizal himself) supporting Rizal’s authorship
    of the work.

    History Professor Xiao Chua said that “Walang


    ebidensiya na isinulat ni Rizal ito. Walang
    anything na nag-po-point out na mayroon siyang
    tula na isinulat noong 8 years-old siya.”
    The poem could not have been written in
    1869 when Rizal was eight based on the
    use of the letter “k,” which was a reform in
    Tagalog orthography proposed by the
    mature Rizal.
    In Rizal’s childhood they spelled words with

    THE a “c” rather than “k.” Further, the word


    “kalayaan” (freedom) is used twice. First, in
    the third line of the first stanza, there is

    TRUTH
    UNTOLD mention of sanlang kalayaan (pawned
    freedom).

    #2: These two references ring a bell because


    kalayaan as we know it today was not
    widely used in the 19th century. As a
    matter of fact, Rizal encountered the word
    first in the summer of 1882 when he was
    Rizal had 35 years to publish or assert
    authorship. He did not. The poem was

    THE TRUTH published posthumously, a decade after his


    execution, as an appendix to “Kun sino ang
    kumatha ng ‘Florante: Kasaysayan ng Buhay

    UNTOLD
    ni Francisco Baltazar’ at pag-uulat nang
    kanyang karununga’t kadakilaan” (Manila:
    Libreria Manila-Filatelico, 1906.) by the poet

    #3:
    Herminigildo Cruz
    Rizal did not have a strong enough command of
    Tagalog to match the fluency of the poem

    THE
    “Sa Aking Mga Kabata” was not published in the
    original Tagalog but in a free Spanish translation of
    the Tagalog by Epifanio de los Santos as “A mis
    compañeros de niñez.”

    TRUTH
    UNTOLD Tagalog, according to the 8-year-old Rizal, has its own
    alphabet and letters. It goes back to pre-Spanish
    times. The precocious child even compared Tagalog

    #4: with Latin, English, Spanish and “the language of


    angels,” whatever that is.
    THE TRUTH UNTOLD
    #5:
    Tracing the provenance of the poem to its source,
    Cruz claims to have received the poem from his
    Gabriel
    friend, the poet Gabriel Beato Francisco, who got it
    Francisc
    from a certain Saturnino Raselis of Lukban, a bosom
    o
    friend of Rizal and teacher in Majayjay, Laguna, in
    1884.
    Raselis is alleged to have received a copy of this
    Herminigild poem from Rizal himself, a token of their close
    o Cruz friendship.
    Unfortunately, Raselis’ name does not appear in
    Rizal’s voluminous correspondence, diaries or
    writings.
    The poem may have actually been written by Cruz
    or Francisco.
    WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF
    THIS TOPIC?

    Identifying the true author of “Sa Aking Mga Kabata” is important because
    millions of Filipino children are miseducated each year during Buwan ng
    Wika when they are told that Rizal composed a poem on his mother
    tongue when he was 8.
