EXPERIENCE OF SPANISH
BRUTALITY
Rizal experienced his first taste of Spanish brutality when he was
in Calamba
spending summer vacation after a long tedious study as medical
student of
UST.
One night while he was walking alone along a dark street, Rizal
failed to
recognize the Spanish civil guard, passing by his side, thus, he
did not bow,
salute or greet the man. At a striking distance, the civil guard
(Guardia Civil)
whipped Rizal mercilessly at the back with a stingray tail (buntot
pagi). He
suffered from the ' wounds inflicted on his back that lasted for
two weeks
before it was completely healed. He could not accept such brutal
treatment.
When the incident was reported to the Captain General Primo de
Rivera, he
was even reprimanded and even told Rizal that he should be
thankful for
being still alive and spared by the civil guard
