May God the Father bless us.

feet to walk with,

and the angel of peace to watch over us and lead us at last,

Answer the questions based on your own point of view.

1. What were the reasons why Rizal did not continue his Medicine course at UST?
Rizal opted to study ophthalmology at the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. After knowing
that his mother was going to blind, but he was not able to finish the course due to the fact that,
he became politically isolated by adversaries among the faculty and clergy who demanded that
he assimilate to their system.

2. Why did Rizal decide to go to Europe?

Rizal, being disgusted with the method of instruction in the Dominican-owned University and
the racial prejudice of Dominican professors against Filipino student, because he want to obtain
a better education. Little did his Countrymen know that he had another mission, one that would
lead to him to inspire fellow revolutionaries through his writing, and to observe keenly the life
and culture, language and customs, industries and commerce, and government and laws of the
European nations in order to prepare himself on the mighty task of liberating his oppressed
people from Spanish tyranny.

Rizal joined the Masonic lodge in Madrid which was called Acacia. His central motive in
joining the society was to secure the aid of the Freemasons in his battle against the
abusive friars in the Philippines. Since the friars used the might of Catholicism to oppress
and persecute the country’s patriots, Rizal intended to fight them with freemasonry. On

years later he was awarded Master Mason in Paris by Le Grand Orient de France.
3. What did Rizal do after finishing his medical course?
In 1884, Rizal completed licentiates in medicine and in philosophy and letters at the
Central University of Madrid. Shortly after finishing fourth year of his medical course,
Rizal decided to continues his studies in Spain. In spite of his enormous successes in
literary filed, he was no longer happy in his stay in the Dominican-owned school.
