Baron Fernandez
► A Spanish orphan who worked for almost half
century in two historical secret archives in
Madrid and Segovia, had an eyewitness account
of the retraction which he discovered in those
repertories of Spain's dirty secrets. He found 34
documents including handwritten letters,
telegrams, and military documents including a
thick sheaf of Rizal's defense. He had written
himself days before he was murdered at
Bagumbayan.

Fernandez said:
" I have documents stating that before he faced
death, Rizal told his sister Narcisa to look inside his
shoes because he had left a letter.

Martensson
Manuel Morato
► - A friend of Baron Fernandez, subsequently
bought from Fernande the Intellectual Property
right to the valuable manuscripts.

Morato said in his "expose


That the friars forged the retraction letter and
published in the Clerico- Fascist newspapers at that
time. Morato confirmed "No, Rizal never retracted
although that fake retraction was published by friars
then and is still sadly peddled in most school, but that
is not true.“

"Expose"
Both Morato and Fernandez have documents to prove
that when Rizal was in Dapitan, he was allowed to go
to Cebu with Josephine Bracken and Archbishop of
Cebu, at that time, tried to dangle marriage and
coaxed him to retract Jens pp 44

Secondary
Evidence
Mr. Palm's coetaneous acts which
undermine the belief that Rizal
retracted:

Martensson
Mr. Palm's coetaneous acts which undermine the
belief that Rizal retracted:

► 1. The Documents of retraction were kept secret,


only copies of it were furnished to the
newspapers, but, with the exception of one
person, nobody saw the original.
► 2. When the family of Rizal asked for the
original of the said document or a copy of the
alleged retraction letter, the petition was denied.
► 3. Rizal's burial was kept secret.

Jens pp 66
Martensson
Mr. Palm's coetaneous acts which undermine the belief that Rizal
retracted:
 No masses were said for his soul or funeral held by
Catholics
 Notwithstanding the claim that Rizal was reconciled
with the church, he was not buried in a Catholic
cemetery in Paco but in a ground
 The entry in the book of burials of the interment of
Rizal's body is not made on the page with those
burials.

If Rizal retracted, he would not have been


executed. But he was executed; therefore,
Rizal did not retract. He would have been
an example for the cause of the friars; he
would have been given a decent Christian
burial.
