Jose Rizal
and
Emilio Jacinto
On October 8, 1897, Jacinto wrote his
masterpiece “A La Patria” (To My
Fatherland) in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. The poem
was inspired by Jose Rizal's “Mi Ultimo
Adios”. Written in Tagalog and relatively
unknown, Jacinto's poem nevertheless
overflows with patriotic sincerity and he is
said to equal Rizal in nobility and loftiness of
thought.

Jacinto to rescue Rizal
For 26 days, August 6 to September 2, 1896, Rizal
stayed on board. Before the outbreak of the
Revolution, Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, and
other brave Katipuneros plotted to rescue Rizal from
the cruiser. Jacinto and his men, disguised as sailors,
were able to board the cruiser.

"We are katipuneros. We are heavily armed and


we came to rescue you."
