    The document summarizes Jose Rizal's alleged retraction before his execution. It discusses the perspectives that argue for and against Rizal retracting his claims against the Spanish government and Catholic church. Those who argue he retracted cite eyewitness testimonies like Father Balaguer who said he witnessed Rizal's confessions. However, the document does not believe Father Balaguer's testimony, as Spanish spies recorded all those who entered Rizal's cell and did not list Balaguer, making him a second-hand witness rather than direct eyewitness.

    1. Summarize one (1) learning resource in 03 Readings: Jose Rizal's Retraction.

    Rizal is said to have signed a paper before his death on December 30, 1896, in which he
    purportedly withdrew all charges he had made against the Spanish government, his brother, and
    churches. Whether it was accurate or not, the retraction controversy has now started. Rizal was
    imprisoned by himself in the chamber on the day of his execution. Seor Tavielde Andrade and Jesuit
    priest Vilaclara led him inside. Over time, Seor Maure, a Plaza employee, questioned Rizal about his
    preferences. Rizal then went in search of a prayer book that a father named March had brought back.
    Later that morning, priest Balaguer—who had testified that he had witnessed Rizal through several
    jarring awakenings—confessed, performed mass, had communion, and said the rosary four times. He
    was also accompanied by the execution. Senior Andrade departed, and Rizal continued to speak for a
    while. discusses religious issues with the Jesuit priests March and Vilaclara. Rizal was given a letter of
    retraction from the two to remove all of his claims, but he refused to sign it. After their argument, Rizal
    requested the two to leave so he could write and did so for a while by himself. Father March entered
    the chapel in the afternoon, and Rizal delivered him what he had written. The assistant of the Plaza, Seor
    Maure, and the firing squad commander, Seordel Fresno, were alerted right away. They went to the
    execution row and, along with Rizal, signed the confession the defendant had written. This appears to
    be the retractio.

    2. State the viewpoint/s or argument/s in this resource.

    Arguments for the repudiation of Rizal

     Fr. Vicente Balaguer Testimonies


     The "document" of the retraction that was discovered in 1935 was regarded as crucial proof
    of the retraction.
     There were eyewitnesses who were personally connected to the occurrences.

    Counterarguments against Rizal's Retraction

     Some historians contend that the letter itself was retracted, and Josephine Bracken herself is
    still single.

    3. What viewpoint do you not believe in that resource?


    In his evidence, Father Vicente Balaguer said that Rizal is rational and that he experienced
    multiple unpleasant awakenings, confessed, attended mass, received communion, and recited the
    rosary four times. determining that he is a key witness and involved in the Retraction. However, the
    Cuerpo de Vigilancia, Spanish spies present on the day of the execution, claimed to have recorded
    every individual who entered Rizal's cell, and astonishingly, none of them were Fr. Vicente Balaguer
    was involved during the time. a judgment that Fr. Balaguer is a second-hand witness who was
    questioned by Fr. Fr. Villaclara and March to amplify a point.
