BSIT IV Jade T. Palomar

After 4 years of studying medicine in University of Sto Tomas, Rizal decided to go to Spain to continue his studies.. He's reason of going to Spain is to study the life, cultures, language, tax, and government in Spain as well as to continue his studies... When he was in Spain life for him was not that easy, because after living for Spain their business in Calamba which is farming did not turn out to be as planned because of a drought season due to this the manager of the hacienda increased the rent of their hacienda and because of this since that his brother Paciano is getting money from their business in order to send allowance for Rizal in spain. There were times that Rizal did not eat his breakfast upon going to school, because he was broke, luckily because of his talents he joined a contest were they can eat for free and that's how Rizal survive during the time that he has nothing.

COURSE TO SPAIN

His studies continued in UST until he was unhappy at the Dominican institution. After finishing the 4th year of his medical course in UST, Rizal, being disgusted with the method of instruction in the Dominican-owned University and the racial prejudice of Dominican professors against Filipino student, decided to study abroad. He predicted that his decision of studying abroad would not be favored by his parents; he did not asked their blessing.

And aside from studying in Spain he was on a secret mission. This mission was to observe keenly the life and culture, languages and customs, industries and commerce, and government and laws of the European nations in order to prepare himself in the great task of liberating his oppressed people from the Spanish tyranny.

The course to Spain is the start of Rizals travels.
