AFTER BIÑAN Although education in Biñan was limited to the 4 R's, it gave Jose the necessary knowledge preparatory for college. After a year and a half of rigid instruction, Maestro Justiniano informed the parents of Jose that the boy had learnt everything that he could teach him, and that the boy should be sent to college in Manila. And so Saturnina, the eldest of the Rizal siblings, wrote Jose informing him that the steamer "Talim would be arriving to Biñan, which he could board bound for Calamba. Jose became sad because he knew that returning to Biñan was impossible. He was filled with sorrow when he bade farewell to his classmates and his teacher, He left Biñan with a heavy heart on the 17th of December 1870. It was Rizal's first time to board a steamer. He was excited. He had many stories to tell his brother and Sisters about his experiences in Biñan. He arrived Calamba in time for the Christmas season. His family welcomed him. He was happy that he could spend Christmas with his family again. THE IMPRISONMENT OF DOÑA TEODORA Jose's father, Don Francisco, thought of sending him to college in Manila in June. However, trouble struck the family. Jose Alberto, the brother of Doña Teodora, went on a business trip to Europe. Upon his return, he found out that his wife abandoned their home and their children and lived with another man. This angered Jose Alberto and decided to divorce his wife. Doña Teodora advised his brother, persuaded him to just forgive his wife in order to avoid family scandal. And so, the husband and wile lived together again. However, the adulterous woman connived with a Spanish Lieutenant of the Guardia Civil fabricating stories that her husband, Jose Alberto, tried to poison her with Doña Teodora helping him to do so. Doña Teodora was arrested and was forced to walk for about 50 kilometers from Calamba to Santa Cruz. She was imprisoned there for two years and a half, Jose heard that his mother got sick while inside her prison cell, no proper medical treatment was given her, and she was treated unkindly. This saddened the barely 11-year old Jose. The case reached the Manila Royal Audiencia (Supreme Court) where she was acquitted. THE DEATH OF GOMBURZA On the night of January 20, 1872, about 200 Filipino soldiers and workers of the Cavite arsenal rose in violent revolt under the leadership of La Madrid, a Filipino sergeant. The revolt was caused by the abolition of the usual privileges of the soldiers and workers; in addition to not being exempted from tribute and forced labor, called Polo at that time. However, the mutiny was suppressed after two days when reinforcement troops from Manila arrived. This incident was used by the Spanish authorities to give an order to liquidate Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora for advocating the secularization movement to Filipinize the Philippine parishes, and their supporters Jose Ma. Basa, Attys. Joaquin Pardo de Tavera and Antonio Ma. Regidor. The Archbishop plead for clemency because of their innocence but he was denied. On the sunrise of February 17, 1872, by order of Governor General Rafael de Izquierdo, the three priests were executed through a garrote a method of execution by strangling with an iron collar. The execution was deeply mourned by the Rizal family and many other Filipinos. Father Burgos was a friend and a teacher of Paciano. Enraged by the execution, he quit his studies in Manila and returned to Calamba. He told the news to his 11-year old brother, Jose. This event had added to the already rousing indignation that Jose felt for the injustice done to his family and vowed to fight against the evils of Spanish tyranny. He swore to avenge the cruelties that his brother's friend and the two priests had suffered. Later, Rizal wrote his second novel, El Filibusterismo, that he dedicated to the three priests. MANILA EXPERIENCE (1872-1877) The family of Don Francisco Was undaunted by the two tragic events: the imprisonment of Dona Teodora and the execution of the three Priests. Four months after the martyrdom of GOM-BUR-ZA and while his mother was still in prison, Jose was sent to Manila to study at the Ateneo de Municipal, a college under the management of Spanish Jesuits. This school later became Ateneo de Manila which was managed by highly competent educators. The school was reputed as an excellent college for boys. On his first day in Manila, Jose was accompanied by his brother, Paciano. He took and passed all subjects during the entrance examination at the College of San Juan  de Letran. After that, he and his brother returned to Calamba to attend the town fiesta. Don Francisco, who initially wanted Jose to study at Letran, changed his mind and decided to enroll his son in Ateneo. So, when Jose returned to Manila, with his brother, they went in Ateneo de Municipal. At first, he was refused admittance in the said school for two reasons: (1) he was already late for registration and (2) he was so frail and sickly, aside from being too small for his age. However, due to the intervention of Manuel Xeres Burgos, the nephew of one of the martyred priests, Jose was finally admitted.

ATENEO DE MUNICIPAL EXPERIENCE Jose enrolled at Ateneo under the surname "Rizal" because their family name Mercado had been under suspicion of the Spanish authorities. His brother, Paciano, had used their surname Mercado when he studied at the College of San Jose. The authorities knew that Paciano was father Burgos' favorite student and confidant. Ateneo was ruled by the Jesuits. The system was more advanced than other schools during that time. The instructions were rigid and the discipline was strict. The school offered subjects in physical culture, humanities, and science. Aside from academic subjects, the school offered courses in agriculture, commerce, mechanics, and surveying. Religious instruction was emphasized and students were required to attend mass every morning. Before and after each class session, prayers were said by all students. The students were divided into two groups: the internos, who were composed of the boarders and the externos, the non-boarders. The internos, known also as the "Roman Empire" and the externos, the Carthaginian Empire always competed with each other in school activities. The best student in each group was called the emperor, a position which every member of the group desired and wanted to maintain. Ateneo students were required to wear uniform: a hem-fabric trousers and striped cotton coat materials called Rayadillo, which became popular among the Filipinos. Later, it was adopted to be worn as a uniform during the first day of the First Philippine Republic. During Jose's first day in class, he heard mass at the college chapel before proceeding to the classroom where he saw big number of boys who were mestizos, Spaniards, and Filipinos. Rizal described his first professor, Father Jose Bech as a "tall, thin man, with a body slightly bent forward, a harried walk, and an ascetic face, sever and inspired small deep-sunken eyes, a sharp nose that was almost Greek, and thin lip forming an arc whose ends fell toward the chin." Because he was an externo, he was assigned to the carthaginian. Being new in the school and because he was not proficient in Spanish, he was placed at the bottom of the class occupying the end of the line. However, he did not make the condition a hindrance in his studies, after the first week, he progressed rapidly, topped the class and became the emperor at the end of the first month, he won first prize a religious picture, the first ever prize he won in Ateneo. He was so happy. To improve his knowledge and fluency in Spanish, Jose took private lessons during recess time at the Santa Isabel College. In spite of being the brightest student in the class, with all his grades marked "excellent," Jose heard remarks from some professors. He disliked these much and did not strive to retain his academic supremacy like he did during the first semester. He landed second place during the year-end recognition, although all his grades were still marked “excellent”. When the school year ended, Jose spent his summer vacation in Calamba. But he did not enjoy his vacation because his mother was still in prison. Without telling his father, he visited her in prison. Doña Teodora was very happy when Jose told him he got excellent grades in all his subjects. When summer ended, Jose returned to Manila to continue his studies. This time, he tried to study harder to regain his lost leadership in class. Once again, he became the emperor. He had new classmates and three of them were his former classmates in Biñan. He was very happy seeing his former classmates and he enjoyed his second year in Ateneo. At the end of the school year, he did not only receive excellent grades but also a gold medal for academic excellence. He returned to Calamba that summer jubilantly. Like before, the reunion with his sisters, brother, and parents were very happy telling them about his academic successes. As usual, he visited his mother in prison. He comforted her by telling his scholastic exploits and some funny stories about his professor and classmates. As expected, his mother was very happy to hear his favorite son's outstanding performance in school. In the midst of their splendid talks, Doña Teodora mentioned about her dream the previous night. Upon hearing his mother's story, Rizal made a prediction about the dream that she would soon be released in prison. Doña Teodora unbelieving, what his son said, smiled thinking that he would merely like to console her. But his prophecy became true because after three months she was freed. After this visit, Jose once again returned to the city for his studies. This time an adolescent, had shown interest in reading romantic novels. Among his favorite was the "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas. He was so impressed of the fate of the main character and hero of the story who made spectacular escape from the dungeon, found a buried treasure and later revenged against his enemies. Aside from this novel, Jose had read several books, both fiction and non-fiction, which greatly helped him in his studies and enabled him to win more prizes. A history book caught his attention most was entitled "Travels in the Philippines" by Dr. Feodor Jagor, a German scientist who stayed in the country from 1859 to 1860. Jose was impressed of this book because: (1) it contained Jagor's careful observation and analysis about the imperfections of the Spanish colonization in the Philippines and (2) his prophecy that Spain would yield the Philippines to American colonizers in the near future. In June 1874, his junior year in college, Jose went back to Manila to continue his quest for knowledge. Shortly after classes had started that semester, his mother arrived, telling him that she was already released from prison, just as he had prophesied during his last visit to her in the prison cell in Santa Cruz, Laguna. Rizal was very happy to see her mother freed. However, despite the joyous reunion of the mother and son, deep inside, he was unhappy for not showing excellence in his studies like he did the previous year. Though his grades in all subjects were excellent, he only won one gold medal in Spanish because he was not as good as his Spanish classmate who had beaten him. When the classes ended in March 1875, he returned to Laguna, dissatisfied with the result of his performance in school. Rizal's senior year in Ateneo was a memorable one. On June 16, 1875, he became an interno under Father Francisco de Paula Sanchez who was a very good professor and scholar. Father Sanchez was so impressed and deeply admired Jose's performance. He inspired young Rizal to study more and write poetry. On his part, he loved, admired, and respected Father Sanchez so much that he considered him the best professor in school who always gave attention and special consideration for the advancement of his pupils. As a result, Jose topped all his subjects and brought home five gold medals at the end of that school year. He presented the medals to his parents with pride. He was extremely happy because he thought that this time, he was able to repay his father's sacrifices. Jose's last year of studies at Ateneo from 1876-1877 became more fruitful. He excelled in all subjects and gained recognition as the most brilliant Atenean of his time and the "Pride of the Jesuits". He graduated with highest honors making his parents, brother, and sisters truly proud of him. His scholastic records in Ateneo were all excellent in all subjects Philosophy, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Languages, Mineralogy, and many more. He did not only fare well in academics but in extra-curricular activities as well. Being the emperor, he was an active member of a religious society, the Marian Congregation, a devotee of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the college patroness. He was also a member of the Academy for Spanish Literature and the Academy of Natural Sciences and many more extra- curricular activities that only students of Outstanding performance were qualified. Shortly after graduation from college, the sixteen-year-old Jose Rizal experienced his first romance. Accompanied by one of his friends, he visited his maternal grandmother in Manila. when he reached his grandmother's house, he met other guests, one of whom was very attractive girl named Segunda Katigbak. Segunda was a college student at La Concordia College where his sister Olimpia was also studying. Segunda was a close friend of his sister, so he was able to know her more intimately during his weekly visit to his sister it was a love at first sight for the two and apparently, they have shown love for each other. Unfortunately, Segunda was already engaged to marry her town mate, Manuel Luz. Jose, who was so shy and timid to speak out his love for her, failed to propose. He returned to Calamba nursing a frustrated heart. UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS EXPERIENCE After graduating in Ateneo with highest honors with the degree of Bachelor of Arts (equivalent to only high school during the Spanish time), Jose Rizal decided to continue his studies in Manila despite his mother's objection. Both his father Don Francisco and brother Paciano wanted him to pursue his studies. In April 1877, Don Francisco told Paciano to accompany his younger brother to enroll in Manila. Jose Rizal who was only sixteen years old that time enrolled Philosophy and Letters in the University of Sto. Tomas. He decided on this course because (1) he was not yet certain on what career to pursue and (2) his father liked this course. While studying at the University of Santo Tomas, he also enrolled in vocational course - perito agrimensor (expert in surveying) at Ateneo. it was during the following school term that Jose Rizal received the advice of Ateneo Rector for him to take medicine. Another reason why he chose medicine was his desire to cure his mother's growing blindness due to cataract. So, he decided to take up medical course in the University of Sto. Tomas. While Jose Rizal was studying in UST, he still engaged himself in many extra-curricular activities in Ateneo. He continued his studies in the surveying course with excellent grades in all subjects, obtaining gold medals in agriculture and topography. At seventeen, he passed the board examination for surveyors but was not granted the title because he was under age. This time, he was the President of the Academy of Spanish literature and Secretary of the Academy of Natural Science. He remained member of the Marian Congregation, of which he was the secretary. Although, he was then a Thomasian, he remained loyal to Ateneo where he had happy and beautiful memories. His Jesuits professors loved him and inspired him to acquire greater knowledge, contrary to the treatment he and his Filipino classmates received in the University of Sto. Tomas. His grades in the medical course were only "fair and good" compared to the excellent grades he got in all subjects in Ateneo. These gave Jose Rizal a heavy heart for he knew he fared better than his peninsulares classmates. He hated the Dominican professors who were cruel and biased to his Filipino classmates who just kept quiet in spite being humiliated. It was during his freshman year as medical student when he experienced his first taste of Spanish brutality. While walking on the street one dark night during his summer vacation in Calamba, he failed to recognize a Lieutenant of the Guardia Civil whom he passed by and likewise failed to greet him due to darkness. With anger, the Spanish officer turned on Rizal, whipped him with his sword that slashed his back. Although the wound was not life-threatening, it was painful. when he had recovered, he reported it to the Spanish Governor General but he was ignored simply because Jose Rizal, the complainant, was an Indio. Notwithstanding his hectic academic and extra-curricular schedules in both schools, UST and Ateneo, Rizal still found time for love. He was admired by many young ladies and could still go with friends of his age. Young ladies from the university as well as in Calamba had fallen in love with him. In 1879, at the start of his junior year in UST, he lived in a boarding house in lntramuros where he met a frail, pretty young lady, Leonor Rivera, who was the daughter or his landlord uncle Antonio Rivera. She was born in Camiling, Tarlac and a student of La Concordia College where his youngest Sister was studying then. Between Jose and Leonor sprang a beautiful romance which they kept from their parents and friends. To keep their intimate relationship secret, Leonor used Taimis as her pen name. It was during this time that he was able to write so many award-winning pieces in Literature. He wrote "A La Juventud Filipina" a prize-winning poem with flawless form and exquisite verses. It urged the Filipino youth from being dormant and to break the chain that have long bound the spirit of the people. It became a classic in Philippine Literature for two reasons: (1) it was the first great poem in Spanish written by a Filipino, whose merit was recognized by Spanish literary authorities and (2) it expressed for the first time the nationalistic concept that the Filipinos and not the foreigners are the "Fair Hope of the Fatherland."  The years that followed, Jose joined several contests one of which was a contest sponsored by Artistic Literary Lyceum to commemorate the fourth centennial of the death of Cervantes. The competition was opened to both Filipinos and Spaniards. Even if the judges in that contest were all Spaniards but Jose's entry entitled "The Council of the Gods" won the first prize for its literary superiority over the others. Aside from the two award-winning poems mentioned earlier; Jose Rizal had produced several literary works such: poems, zarzuela, etc. The "Junta al Pasig' (Beside the Pasig) which he also wrote was a zarzuela. It was staged by the Ateneans in 1880 on the occasion of the annual Feast of the Immaculate Conception. He also wrote a sonnet entitled "A Filipina" for the album of the Society of Sculptors, a poem urging all Filipino artists to glorify the Philippines. Shortly after finishing fourth year of his medical course, Rizal decided to continue his studies in Spain. In spite of his enormous successes in literary field, he was no longer happy in his stay in the Dominican-owned school. He felt "he could no longer endure rampant bigotry," discrimination and hostility prevailing in the University of Sto. Tomas. He informed his brother Paciano, his two sisters Saturnina and Lucia, together with his uncle Antonio Rivera and some of his close friends about his plan which they welcomed it. They agreed to keep the decision secret from his parents. They agreed that Paciano would send a monthly allowance of P 35.00 and his Uncle Antonio would solicit from friends for other expenses. Aside from his strong desire to finish his medical course due to his mother's illness, there were three other reasons why Rizal decided to continue his studies abroad. 1. The biased and hostile treatment of the Dominican professors. 2. He was disgusted with the antiquated method of instruction in the University of Stom Tomas during that time; and 3. The racial discrimination that the Dominican professors had against the Filipinos.  Compare and Contrast Table Direction: Use the table below in making comparison of the two universities based on the given Attributes.
