CHAPTER VI: In Sunny Spain

“Why Rizal went to spain?

After Jose Rizal finished his medical course at the University of Santo Tomas Higher
Learning in the Philippines whom Rizal was appalled of its crude technique for guidance and the
racial partiality of Dominican Professors against Filipino understudies, he was brought to
acknowledgment that seeking after further examinations abroad will be vastly improved.

He is the only Filipino to board the steamer with 16 passengers, the rest was Spaniards,
British, and Indian Negroes. He used the name Jose Mercado which came from his cousin from
Biñan, Rizal has Secret mission to do, To watch acutely the life and culture, dialects and
customs, enterprises, trade and government and laws of the Europian Nations so as to set himself
up in the powerful errand of freeing of abused individuals from Spanish oppression. The secret
departure of Jose Rizal for Spain was stayed quiet from Spanish specialists, ministers and even
he has no permission and blessings to his parents. Only his older brother Paciano has his
approval. After Rizal's take off for Spain, things abandoned terrible to more awful in Calamba.

Because of difficult occasions in Calamba, the month to month remittances of Rizal in

Madrid were late in appearance and there were times they never showed up. On June 24, 1884, a
contacting episode in Rizal's life happened; with a vacant stomach, he went to his group at the
college, took an interest in the challenge in Greek language and won the gold award. At night, he
had the option to have supper, for he was a visitor speaker in a meal held in respect of Juan Luna
and Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo at Restaurant Ingles, Madrid. In June 15-, Rizal left Marseille by
train and reached Barcelona the next day.
 Chapter 7 Rizal, In the wake of finishing his studies in Madrid, Rizal went to Paris and
Germany so as to spend significant time in ophthalmology. He especially picked this part of
medication since he needed to fix his mom's eye sickness.

Chapter 8 The winter of 1886 in Berlin was Rizal's darkest winter in light of the fact that
no cash showed up from Calamba and he was down and out. The precious stone ring which his
sister, Saturnina, gave him was in the second hand store. It was critical in the life of Rizal for two
reasons , it was an painful scene for sick and despondent in a strange city and it brought him
incredible bliss in the wake of suffering to such an extent sufferings, since his first novel, Noli
Me Tangere fell off the press in March, 1887. Dr. Maximo Viola, his companion from Bulacan,
showed up in Berlin at the height of his despondency and lent him the required assets to
distribute the novel.

Chapter 9 After the distribution of Noli Me Tangere, Rizal intended to visit the
significant places in Europe. Dr. Maximo Viola consented to be his voyaging buddy. Rizal got
Pacianos settlement of P1000 which forward by Juan Luna from Paris and quickly paid his
obligation to Viola which he credited with the goal that the Noli Me Tangere could be printed.
Initially, he and Viola visited Potsdam, a city close to Berlin.

Chapter 10 All the appealing wonders of remote nations and all the delightful
recollections of his stay in outsider grounds could neither make Rizal for his homeland nor turn
his back to his own nationality. Genuine that he concentrated abroad, obtained the affection and
dialects of outside countries, and delighted in the fellowship of numerous extraordinary men of
the Western world; yet he stayed on the most fundamental level a genuine Filipino with an
insatiable love for the Philippines and an immovable assurance to pass on in the place where
there is his introduction to the world. Along these lines, after five long periods of important stay
in Europe, he came back to the Philippines in August 1887 and rehearsed medication in
Calamba. He carried on with the very existence of a nation specialist. In any case, his foes, who
detested his Noli Me Tangere, mistreated him, in any event, taking steps to slaughter him.
 Chapter 11 Nagged by amazing foes, Rizal had to leave his nation for a second time in
February 1888. He was then a full-developed man of 27 years old, a rehearsing doctor, and a
recognized man of-letters. February 22, 1888 Rizal left Hong Kong on board the Oceanic, an
American steamer, his destination was Japan. Rizal’s cabin mate was a British Protestant
missionary who called Rizal “a good man”.

Chapter 12 Probably the most joyful interval in the life of Rizal was his visit in the Land
of the Cherry Blossoms for one month and a half (February 28-April 13, 1888). In February 28,
1888 Tuesday morning, Rizal showed up in Yokohama. He enrolled at the Grand Hotel. Rizal
kept in touch with Professor Blumentritt: "Tokyo is progressively costly then Paris. The dividers
are inherent cyclopean way. The boulevards are enormous and wide." Then Juan Perez
Caballero-secretary of the Spanish Legation, who visited Rizal at his lodging who last mentioned
welcomed him to live at the Spanish Legation. Rizal acknowledged the greeting for two reasons,
he could conserve his everyday costs by remaining at the legation and he didn't have anything to
escape according to the Spanish specialists. On March 7, 1888-Rizal settled up with Tokyo Hotel
and inhabited the Spanish Legation.

Rizal was well dazzled by the magnificence of the nation—its blossoms, mountains, streams and
beautiful scenes, the neatness, affableness, and industry of the Japanese individuals , the pleasant
dress and straightforward appeal of the Japanese ladies and there were not very many hoodlums
in Japan with the goal that the houses stayed open day and night, and in lodging one could
securely leave cash on the table and bums were once in a while found in the city, roads, not at all
like in Manila and different urban communities.

April 13, 1888, Rizal left Japan and boarded the Belgic, an English steamer, at
Yokohama, bound for the United States. Tetcho Suehiro, a battling Japanese columnist, writer
and boss of human rights, who was constrained by the Japanese government to leave the nation;
traveler which Rizal become a close acquaintance with on board the Belgic for eight months.
December 1, 1888 after a last warm handshake and offering each other "farewell", Rizal and
Tetcho, went separate ways—never to meet again.
