RIZALS ANCESTRY
In his veins flowed the blood of both East and West Negrito, Indonesian,
Malay, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish.
At the age of eight, Francisco Mercado lost his father and grew up to
manhood under the care of his mother. He studied Latin and Philosophy in
the College of San Jose in Manila. He met and fell in love with Teodora

Tondo.
The Real surname of the Rizal family was Mercado, which was adopted
in1731 by Domingo Lamco, who was full-blooded Chinese.
Teodora and Francisco were wed in 1848 and lived in Calamba. One year later,
Governor-General Narciso Claveria issued the dictum decreeing new family
names for the Indios to facilitate census work and the collection of taxes. Each
province was given a list from which each family could choose a new surname.
The Mercados of Calamba chose the unlisted name Rizal, although they
continued to use the name Mercado.
Francisco and Teodoras seventh child, Jose, adopted the name Rizal to
enable him to travel freely and to dissociate himself from his brother Paciano,
who had gained notoriety by supporting the cause of revolutionary Filipino
priests like Fr. Jose Burgos. It was Paciano who financially and morally
sustained Rizal in his studies abroad.
The house of the Rizal family was one of the distinguished stone houses in
