Main arguments of Rizal
and Fr. Pastells
Rizal
o
Rejects faith and upholds reason as the sole norm of
knowledge.
o
Believes in God by reason, not by faith and rejects the
Christian revelation running counter to reason:
The Bible as a mere classical writing
Miracles are impossible
Christ is merely a great man
Church is the best religious bodies but not divine
o
Believes in God’s living revelation of nature.
Pastells
o
Counters reason, damaged by its original sin, must be
supported by faith; that revelation is verified by prophecies
and miracle
o
His argument is from authority: the church, which
prophesies dogmas, is worthy of belief as it is a divine
institution founded by Jesus Christ who proved himself as
God’s son by miracles and rising from the dead.

that she was an emissary of the friars with evil plans and asked Rizal
not to eat any food that she might have prepared without having
Josephine taste it first. Rizal accepted her despite her sisters’ warning and asked her to be
his life partner.

would not abuse the same.

Carnicero, who entertained Rizal’s political and religious views.
Arrival of Josephine
Bracken
Rizal request Fr. Obach to officiate a church wedding to legalize his
union with her.
Fr. Obach told Rizal that he would perform the church wedding
under two conditions:o
Retraction of Rizal’s religious errors
o
A general confession
Rizal didn’t follow the conditions so no church wedding took place.
Friars Closely monitored the attempts of the Jesuits.
Knowing that the Jesuits were failing, they tried to win back Rizal to
Catholicism.
1st
Strategy: Bribery
o
Offered Rizal a professional chair in a university, a landed
estate and P100,000 on the condition that Rizal would
repudiate his Noli and El Fili
o
Maria, his sister tried to urge him to accept but Rizal
responded by saying “what my right hand did, my left hand
will not undo”.
2nd
Strategy: Use of a spy to trap Rizal
o
Pablo Mercado
Real name was Florencio Namanan of Cagayan de
Misamis
Agreed to work for the friars due to the promise of
the Recollects that he shall conferred the title, Friar
curator of the Recollects
o
Was sent by the friars to Dapitan to spy on the activities of
Rizal.
o
His mission was to secure letters and other articles thatwould have showed that Rizal was a separatist.
o
The plan was that he go to Dapitan and offered himself as a
courier of Rizal’s letters and writings for the patriots in
Manila.
o
Rizal being an intelligent man and he could not recall any
relative having the surname Mercado, he detected that he
was an imposter and had him arrested by Commander
Sitges.
Grand Regional Council of
the Philippine Masonry
Reacted to the suggestion of Governor Blanco’s suggestion for Rizal
to leave the country by generating funds for Rizal’s trip to Spain.
They were eager to see Rizal leave because his presence was athreat to the existence of masonry, that the friars would always
blame the masons for all agitation for change in the Philippines.
Friends in Europe Made plans to rescue Rizal
Paez Was commissioned by the propagandist to find a suitable vessel in
Hong Kong or Singapore to rescue Rizal but failed in chartering one.
Basa His plan was he would be working for Rizal’s release through his
friends among the ministers in Madrid.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter18-20 12/13
Regidor Said that it would be wise to work out for Rizal’s freedom in Manila.
Arrived at the solution: ESCAPE FROM DAPITAN.
If Rizal could not escape, the alternative was to work for his election
as a deputy in Spanish Cortes
Another alternative was to ensure the election of Marcelo del Pilar
to the Spanish Cortes and let him work for Rizal’s liberation. Katipunan Made the last attempt to rescue Rizal.
Plan was Rizal had to be kept in the Philippines for him to freely
lead the revolution.
Bonifacio The Supremo of the Katipunan
Pio Valenzuela Commissioned by Bonifacio to be his emissary to Rizal.
Arrived at Dapitan in July 21, 1986.
Posed as a companion of Raymundo Mata, a blind man who shall be
seeking Rizal’s medical assistance.
Informed Rizal of the plan of the Katipunan and the need for his
support to the revelution.
Rizal
Clearly expressed his rejection of the plan for a bloody revolutionof the Katipunan.
Disapproval of the scheme rested on two grounds:
o
The unpreparedness of the people
o
Lack of funds and weapons
Further stressed the point that pursing the revolution would
tantamount to national suicide.
He also expressed his gratitude for the concern of the Katipunan to
his welfare, but he was not persuaded to escape Dapitan as he had
given his word to the Spanish authorities.
Sindangan Bay Blanco approved Rizal’s letter requesting, but Rizal had already
dropped the idea because he was already leaving for Spain.Blumentritt Regidor requested him to persuade Rizal to volunteer as a doctor
for the Spanish army in Cuba and because it came from him Rizal
acceded the scheme.
Dona Teodora and Don
Francisco
Did not favor Rizal’s decision as the latter will be risking his life since
the revolution is raging on in Cuba that time.
December 17, 1895 Day Rizal applied as a volunteer doctor for the Spanish army in Cuba
through Blanco.
July 30, 1896 Day the correspondence from Blanco about the being a volunteer
doctor reached Rizal.
Espana Steamer Rizal rode to leave Dapitan on July 31, 1896.
Castilla
Arrived in Manila in August 6, 1896 and the transferred to thiscruiser pending the availability of the vessel bound for Spain.

Katipuneros in Manila.
Bonifacio Summoned all the leaders for a meeting to work out the steps the
society will take to cope with crisis

Historic Cry of
Pugadlawin
Took place wherein Bonifacio asked the Katipuneros if they were
ready to fight the Spaniards whatever be the cost.
All those who attended expressed their willingness to fight to the
last
Bonifacio ordered them to take out their cedulas and tore them to
pieces shouting “Mabuhay ang Philipinas” which marked thebeginning of the Philippine Revolution against Spain.
August 30, 1896 Blanco issued a gubernatorial decree declaring a state of war in
Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga
and Tarlac and placing them under martial rule.
Rizal received the letters of recommendation to Azcaraga and the
colonial minister, which absolved him from the insurrection that
was then raging on.
Isla de Panay Steamer Rizal boarded on September 3, 1896 that ferry him to
Barcelona
Blanco Sent coded telegram and confidential messages with the Ministers
of War and Colonies about Rizal’s arrest.
Rizal was shocked when the captain of Isla de Panay told him he
was to be arrested and detained in the captain’s cabin.
October 3, 1896 Day Rizal reached Barcelona and was heavily guarded at the Isla de
Panay.
Fort Monjuich The prison citadel of Barcelona where Rizal was taken.
Despujol The governor general who decreed his deportation to Dapitan
Told Rizal that he would be shipped back to the Philippines on
board the ship Colon.
Don Pedro Roxas A fellow passenger at the Isla de Panay

while their ship was temporarily docked at Singapore. Rizal regretted not following his advise because Rizal thought
Blanco was a friend.
Regidor and Lopez Transmitted telegrams to an English lawyer in Singapore to help
Rizal.
