    Trivia

    Did you Know?


    When in Europe, Rizal often had to go on without food.
    Sometimes his funds took too long to arrive and he would run out
    of money. He often went out during mealtime and cursed his
    misfortunes, and then went back home with a straight face. He
    was too proud to let his landlady know he didn't have any money
    for food, and when he got back everyone assumed he had
    already eaten.

    Jose Rizal's sisters once suspected that Josephine Bracken,


    his love interest in Dapitan, was a spy from Spain.

    There is some speculation that Rizal's mother could have


    been the illegitimate child of Lorenzo Alberto Alonso and Brigida
    Quintos.

    In 1895, Jose had a run-in with a Chinese who owned a


    small store -- a disagreement that ended with a lawsuit. This
    angered Rizal so much that he told his mother that he would
    never again buy anything from the Chinese. Interestingly enough,
    Rizal was also part Chinese.

    At age 2, Jose could already read and write. He grew up to


    speak and write 22 different languages including Japanese,
    English, German, Latin, Spanish, French, Chinese, English, etc.

    During his exile in Dapitan, Jose Rizal won the lottery. He


    used half of the money he won to buy some land, and sent the
    rest of it to his father.

    Rizal's first poem, Sa Aking Mga Kababata," was written


    when he was 7 years old.

    To compensate for his small stature, Rizal turned to weight


    lifting to enhance his physique. Barbells made from cement were
    found in his home in Dapitan.

    Rizal remained calm on the day he was executed. A Spanish


    surgeon took his pulse moments before he was sent to his death
    and found it within normal range.

    Several monuments erected in honor of Jose Rizal can be


    found all over the world in places such as Madrid, Spain;
    Wilhelmsfeld, Germany; Jinjiang, Fujian, China; Chicago, Cherry
    Hill Township, San Diego, Seattle, U.S.A.; Mexico City, Mexico;
    Lima, Peru; Litomerice, Czech Republic; and Toronto, Ontario,
    Canada.

    There is a Dr. Jose Rizal Park in 1008 12th Avenue South,


    Seattle, Washington. It covers a generous land area of 9.6 acres
    (39,000 m).

    Jose Rizal's Mi Ultimo Adios (My Last Farewell) is the most


    translated Filipino poem. Originally written in Spanish, the
    historical verse is now rendered in 38 other languages.

    In Madrid, Spain, there is a replica of Rizal's famous Luneta


    monument.
