BIRTH
Our national hero was born on the moonlit of Wednesday on
June 19, 1861 between eleven and twelve midnight at the lakeshore
town in Calamba, Laguna. He was named Jose Protacio in honor of
Saint Protacio, one who invoked for the discovery of thieves and
one of the patron saints of Milan and Saint Joseph, the patron
saint of the universal church. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y
Alonso Realonda was the 7th child of Don Francisco Mercado and
Doňa Teodora Alonso. His family fondly called him as Pepe.
According to writer Felice Prudente Santa Maria’s book. In
Excelsis once explained why Jose was called “Pepe”, she said,
“Saint Joseph was the putative father of Jesus Christ. In Latin,
San Jose’s name is always followed by the letters ”P.P” for pater
putativus. In Spanish, the letter “P” is pronounced “peh” giving
rise to the nickname Pepe for Jose.”
