Jose Rizal

José Rizal (1861-1896) was a Filipino poet, novelist, sculptor, painter, and national hero. Born in Calamba, Rizal was raised in a mestizo family of eleven children who lived and worked on a farm owned by Dominican friars. As a boy, he excelled in school and won several poetry contests. At the University of Santo Tomas, he studied philosophy and law before devoting himself to ophthalmology upon hearing of his mother’s blindness. In 1882, he traveled to Madrid to study medicine before moving to Germany, where he gave lectures on Tagalog. In Heidelberg, while working with pioneering ophthalmologist Otto Becker, Rizal finished writing his novel Touch Me Not (1887). Now considered a national epic alongside its sequel The Reign of Greed (1891), Touch Me Not is a semi-autobiographical novel that critiques the actions of the Catholic Church and Spanish Empire in his native Philippines. In 1892, he returned to Manila and founded La Liga Filipina, a secret organization dedicated to social reform. Later that year, he was deported to Zamboanga province, where he built a school, hospital, and water supply system. During this time, the Katipunan, a movement for liberation from Spanish rule, began to take shape in Manila, eventually resulting in the Philippine Revolution in 1896. For his writing against colonialism and association with active members of Katipunan, Rizal was arrested while traveling to Cuba via Spain. On December 30, 1896, he was executed by firing squad on the outskirts of Manila and buried in an unmarked grave.

    Juicio crítico

    En el Certámen literario para conmemorar el CCLXIV aniversario del inmortal Cervantes que celebró el Liceo Artístico Literario de Manila el 23 de abril de 1880, se concedió como premio á la mejor de las composiciones en prosa, una sortija con un camafeo que lleva el busto de Cervantes.

    Al referirse al resultado obtenido en el certámen abierto para este aniversario y después de señalar que se habían presentado 14 pliegos, de los cuales fueron rechazados todos menos los que llevaban los números 1 y 12, dice el Jurado: «Leídos ambos trabajos, los que suscriben no han vacilado en la adjudicación del premio, atendida la superioridad de la alegoría marcada con el número 12», y después de hacer un estracto del trabajo el Consejo de los dioses, cuyo lema era Con el recuerdo del pasado entro en el porvenir, se expresa así: «Como se vé, la idea y el argumento de la obrita son de gran originalidad, á lo que debe añadirse la circunstancia de brillar en toda ella un estilo correcto hasta lo sumo, una
