3. Retraction of Rizal
• Jose Rizal was born on June 19, 1861, at Calamba, Laguna, the seventh child of
Francisco Rizal Mercado and Teodora Alonzo y Quintos. They named the boy Jose
Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda.
• The Mercado family were wealthy farmers who rented land from the Dominican religious
order. Descendants of a Chinese immigrant named Domingo Lam-co, they changed their
name to Mercado ("market") under the pressure of anti-Chinese feeling among the
Spanish colonizers.
• The morning after the execution of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the newspapers of Manila and Madrid
recorded the event, and announced that on the eve of his death, Rizal retracted his
religious errors, abjured freemasonry, and in the last hours of his life had married
Josephine Bracken.
• There was no certainly signed letter of retraction, a contradiction in itself for a man so
strong in conviction as Rizal. There was no marriage with Josephine Bracken, although the
did live together during his exile in Dapitan.
• Vicente Balaguer, S.J. is a Jesuit priest who laid the basis for the story that Rizal retracted
his words and deeds. It was also he who made the claim that he lead the marriage of Jose
Rizal and Josephine Bracken at 6:15 A.M. on December 30, just minutes before Rizal was
executed.
• On May 18, 1935, the lost "original" document of Rizal’s retraction was discovered by the
archdiocesan archivist Fr. Manuel Garcia, C.M. The discovery, instead of ending doubts
about Rizal’s retraction, has in fact encouraged it because the newly discovered text
retraction differs significantly from the text found in the Jesuits’ and the Archbishop’s
copies.
• And, the fact that the texts of the retraction which appeared in the Manila newspapers
could be shown to be the exact copies of the "original" but only imitations of it. This means
that the friars who controlled the press in Manila (for example, La Voz Española) had the
"original" while the Jesuits had only the imitations.
