    The document discusses evidence that Jose Rizal, a Filipino nationalist hero, did not actually retract his writings and beliefs before his execution, as was claimed by Spanish Catholic friars. Several witnesses stated that Rizal never retracted and that the retraction document was forged by the friars. The document also notes inconsistencies in the alleged original retraction document that surfaced decades later, calling its authenticity into question.

    Retraction of Rizal

    Rizal did not retract.


    re·trac·tion
    /rəˈtrakSH(ə)n/
    -a withdrawal of a promise, statement,
    accusation, or opinion.

    "I retract with all my heart


    whatever in my words,
    writings, publications and

    conduct have been contrary to


    my character as a son of the
    Catholic Church".
    The original document was never shown.

    When Rizal's family requested for the original copy


    it was said that it was lost.
    First was the copy of the

    retraction that was


    allegedly signed by Rizal that was even kept secret
    and was only published in newspapers.
    Thirty nine years later the original copy was found
    in "ARCHDIOCESAN ARCHIVES"
    There was no Catholic mass held for
    his soul nor his funeral.
    A traditon for Catholics to hold a mass before
    burial of the dead but after Rizal's execution
    he was brought to San Juan de Dios Hospital
    and on the same day he was buried in an
    unmarked grave in Paco Cemetery.
    Witnesses
    1. Baron Fernandez
    -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."


    -According to Fernandez, that letter could be a denial
    of his retraction because Rizal knew that friars were
    misleading the Filipinos and he wanted set the record
    straight.
    Witnesses
    2. Manuel Morato
    -Morato said that the friars forged the retraction
    letter and published in the

    CLERICO-FACIST
    newspaper at that time.
    -Morato confirmed "No,Rizal never retracted,
    although that fake retraction was published by
    friars then and still sadly peddled in most
    school, but that is not true.
    Marriage

    Father Balaguer came to terms that he married


    Jose and Josephine, after Jose had signed the
    retraction paper, however, there were no
    marriage certificate or public record shown that
    could prove Father Balaguer's statement.
    Inconsistencies and forgery
    The original document surfaced, it bears the
    date "December 29,189C." The number "0"
    was evidently altered to make it look like a
    letter C.
    •Then later, another supposedly original
    version came up. It has the date "December
    29,1896." This time, the "0" became "6."
    •The document only surfaced for public
    viewing on May 13,1935.
