The lesson that I’ve learned in life and story of Rizal in Chapter 15 Life and
Works in London 1888-1889. (Report of Ms. Juhaina Salik) After his visit to
US, he lives in London from May 1888 to Match 1889 because he wants to
improve his knowledge of the English Language, he also wants to study and
annotate Morga's sucesos de Las Silas Filipinas, a rare copy of which he
heard to be available in the British Museum and aside of this he also wants
London because it was a safe place for him to carry on his fight against
Spanish Tyranny. Rizal emphasizes that Morga was the evidence and the
primary source of history in the Philippines. Rizal's argued that Filipinos
before has their own culture, and did not require a new religion or
“civilization” from Spain. Rizal was impressed by Morga's book that he
published a Spanish edition with his own annotations in Paris, after having
copied the Morga by hand from his research at the British Museum. He
stayed as a guest but later he found a modest boarding place owned by
Beckett Family. During his stay there he reached both good and bad news
from his home, the bad News from Home Persecution of the Filipino patriots
who signed the Anti-Friar Petition 1888 The Calamba Agrarian Conflict of
1888 in which the tenants, including Rizal’s family, were being persecuted by
the Dominicans. Another bad News from Home, Manuel T. Hidalgo
(husband of Saturnina) was exiled to Bohol Mariano Herbosa (husband of
Lucia) was denied of Christian burial because of the malicious rumor that he
had not confessed since marriage Laureano Viado, a medical student at UST
and a friend of Rizal, was imprisoned because of owning a copy of Noli Me
Tangere. The good News from Home Rev. Vicente Garcia defended the Noli
Me Tangere against the attack of the friars. He heard this news from Mariano
Ponce. on January 7, 1891, he wrote to Fr. Garcia expressing his personal
thanks In this famous letter he wrote: We young Filipinos are trying to make
over a nation and must not halt in our onward march, but from time to time,
turn our gaze upon our elders.
PART: 2
My observation about the report of Ms. Juhaina Salik, Chapter 15, Life and
works in London, the background of music is too loud than the reporter. For
the delivery of the topic was good and cleaned, also the editing skills. That’s
all shukran.
