About this ebook

This unconventional history book scholarly identifies Jose Rizal’s relations and collaborations with other prominent heroes like Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo, Marcelo Del Pilar, Antonio Luna, Mariano Ponce, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Jose Alejandrino, and Edilberto Evangelista. Pertinently, Professor Jensen DG. Mañebog, the author, also features their respective lives and tackles controversial issues like Luna’s supposed diversion of millions of pesos from the Republic’s treasury to Ysidra Cojuangco (aunt of Corazon 'Cory' Aquino), resulting in the Cojuangco clan becoming very rich.

This book includes new researches. In light of recent findings, this work, for instance, discusses what happened to Rizal’s close friends like Jose Alejandrino after his (Rizal’s) martyrdom. Clarifying some historical controversies and discrepancies, many sections deal with contentious issues like whether or not Emilio Aguinaldo had a hand in the death of Andes Bonifacio and Antonio Luna, and whether or not Bonifacio (not Aguinaldo) should be considered the first Philippine president.

Preface

Though Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero, is an item of the past, the known information about his life, works, and writings—which can be proved ‘true’ based on preserved ‘relics’ and artifacts—are significant even to present generation. If he is a historical piece, his story nonetheless is not merely a story about the past but one that is interestingly valuable.

Historical issues like Rizal’s biography can be meaningful and even practicable though it largely depends on the material discussing the subject. Pertinently, one of the humble aims of this book is to introduce one interesting aspect in Rizal’s life, that is, his collaborations with other legendary heroes and patriots, in such a way that readers (students or non-students alike) would find it engaging and meaningful.

This book includes new researches. In light of recent findings, this book, for instance, discusses what happened to Rizal’s close friends like Jose Alejandrino after his (Rizal’s) martyrdom. Clarifying some historical controversies and discrepancies, many sections deal with contentious issues like whether or not Emilio Aguinaldo had a hand in the death of Andes Bonifacio and Antonio Luna, and whether or not Bonifacio (not Aguinaldo) should be considered the first Philippine president.

Whenever appropriate and needed, significant remarks and relevant supplemental information are embedded in the lectures. Some parts also state the relevance, value, and applicability of the topics to our lives. To be appealing to young generations, most parts somewhat deviate from the traditional too formal (like straight news) style. Instead, they are written the way blogs and online articles are.

Introduction

The mandatory academic subject about the life, works, and writings of Jose Rizal in the Philippines was the upshot of the controversial ‘Rizal Bill’ which later became a law in 1956.

The bill involves mandating educational institutions in the country to offer a course on the hero’s life, works, and writings, especially the ‘Noli Me Tangere’ and ‘El Filibusterismo’. The transition from being a bill to becoming a republic act was however not easy as the proposal was met with intense opposition particularly from the Catholic Church.

Largely because of the issue, the then senator Claro M. Recto—the main proponent of the Rizal Bill—was even dubbed as a communist and an anti-Catholic. Catholic schools threatened to stop operation if the bill was passed, though Recto calmly countered the threat, stating that if that happened, then the schools would be nationalized. Afterward threatened to be punished in future elections, Recto remained undeterred.

Concerning the suggestion to use instead the expurgated (edited) version of Rizal’s novels as mandatory readings, Recto explained his firm support for the unexpurgated version, exclaiming: "The people
