In Hongkong and Macau

Hounded by powerful enemies, Rizal was forced to leave his country for a second
time in February 1888. He was then a full-grown man of 27 years of age, a practicing
physician, and a recognized man-of-letters.

THE TRIP TO HONGKONG

• February 3, 1888-Rizal left Manila for Hong Kong on board the Zafiro
• February 7, 1888- Zafiro made a brief stopover at Amoy
• Rizal did not get off his ship at Amoy for three reasons: (1) he was not feeling
well (2) it was raining hard (3) he heard that the city was dirty
• February 8, 1888- Rizal arrived in Hong Kong
• Victoria Hotel- Rizal stayed while in Hong Kong. He was welcomed by Filipino
residents, including Jose Maria Basa, Balbino Mauricio, and Manuel Yriarte (son
of Francisco Yriarte (son of Francisco Yriarte, alcalde mayor of Laguna)
• Jose Sainz de Varanda- a Spaniard, who was a former secretary of Governor
General Terrero, shadowed Rizal’s movement in Hong Kong – it is believed that
he was commissioned by the Spanish authorities to spy on Rizal.
• “Hong Kong”, wrote Rizal to Blumentritt on February 16, 1888, “is a small, but
very clean city.”

VISIT TO MACAO
• Macao is a Portuguese colony near Hong Kong.
• According to Rizal, the city of Macao is small, low, and gloomy. There are many
junks, sampans, but few steamers. It looks sad and is almost dead.
• February 18, 1888- Rizal, accompanied by Basa, boarded the ferry steamer, Kiu-
Kiang for Macao.
• Don Juan Francisco Lecaros- A Filipino gentleman married to a Portuguese lady —
Rizal and Basa stayed at his home while in Macao.
• February 18, 1888- Rizal witnessed a Catholic possession, in which the devotees
were dressed in blue and purple dresses and were carrying unlighted candles.
• February 20, 1888- Rizal and Basa returned to Hong Kong, again on board the ferry
steamer Kiu Kiang.

DEPARTURE FROM HONG KONG

• February 22, 1888- Rizal left Hong Kong on board the Oceanic, an American
steamer, his destination was Japan.
• Rizal’s cabin mate was a British Protestant missionary who called Rizal “a good man”

Romantic Interlude in Japan

One of the happiest interludes in the life of Rizal was his sojourn in the Land of
the Cherry Blossoms for one month and a half (February 28-April 13, 1888).
• February 28, 1888- early in the morning of Tuesday, Rizal arrived in Yokohama. He
registered at the Grand Hotel.
• Tokyo Hotel- Rizal stayed here from March 2 to March 7
• Rizal wrote to Professor Blumentritt: “Tokyo is more expensive then Paris. The walls are
built in cyclopean manner. The streets are large and wide.”
• Juan Perez Caballero-secretary of the Spanish Legation, who visited Rizal at his hotel
who latter invited him to live at the Spanish Legation. Rizal accepted the invitation for
two reasons: (1) he could economize his living expenses by staying at the legation (2)
he had nothing to hide from the prying eyes of the Spanish authorities.
• March 7, 1888- Rizal checked out of Tokyo Hotel and lived at the Spanish Legation
• Rizal was favorably impressed by Japan. The things which favourably impressed Rizal in
Japan were:

(1) the beauty of the country—its flowers, mountains, streams and scenic panoramas,
(2) the cleanliness, politeness, and industry of the Japanese people,
(3) the picturesque dress and simple charm of the Japanese women,
(4) there were very few thieves in Japan so that the houses remained open day and
night, and in hotel room one could safely leave money on the table,
(5) beggars were rarely seen in the city, streets, unlike in Manila and other cities.

who was forced by the Japanese government to leave the country - passenger which
Rizal befriended on board the Belgic.
• April 13 to December 1, 1888- eight months of intimate acquaintanceship of Rizal and
Tetcho.

IV. Written Activity

Directions: Below are stanzas from Rizal’s poem, “To the Flower of Heidelberg”. Read
carefully and answer the questions given for each stanza.

1. What is this stanza of the poem all about? Explain your answer on the empty box on
the right side.

Go to my native land, go, foreign flowers,

Sown by the traveler on his way,
And there, beneath its azure sky,
Where all my afflictions lie;
There from the weary pilgrim say
What faith is his in that land of ours!

Go there and tell how when the dawn,

Her early light diffusing,
Your petals first flung open wide;
His steps beside chill Neckar drawn,
You see him silent by your side

2. Explain the meaning of the underlined part of the stanza below.

Upon its Spring perennial musing,

Say how when morning's light,
All your fragrance stealing,
Whispers to you as in mirth,
Playful songs of Love's delight,
He, too, murmurs his love's feeling
In the tongue he learned at birth.

That when the sun of Koenigsthul's height

Pours out its golden flood,
And with its slowly warming light
Gives life to vale and grove and wood,
He greets that sun, here only appraising,
Which in his native land is at its zenith
blazing?
