INTRODUCTION

There were at least nine women linked with Rizal; namely Segunda Katigbak,
Leonor Valenzuela, Leonor Rivera, Consuelo Ortiga, O-Sei San, Gertrude Beckette,
Nelly Boustead, Suzanne Jacoby and Josephine Bracken. These women might have
been beguiled by his intelligence, charm and wit.

II. DISCUSSION/PRESENTATION

Consuelo ortiga -He dedicated to her A la Senorita C.O. y R., which became one

of his best poems. The Ortiga’s residence in Madrid was frequented by Rizal and his

compatriots.He probably fell in love with her and Consuelo apparently asked him for

romantic verses. He suddenly backed out before the relationship turned into a

serious romance, because he wanted to remain loyal to Leonor Rivera and he did

not want to destroy his friendship with Eduardo de Lete who was madly in love with

Consuelo.O sei San -She became his generous tour guide as she took him to
Japan’s shrines, parks, universities, and other interesting places like the Imperial Art

Gallery, Imperial Library, and the Shokubutsu-en (Botanical Garden). Along with it,

she also taught him to speak their language. Thus, he fell in love with her which is

not quite surprising already, right?,Gertrude Breckett -Gertrude, a blue-eyed and

buxom girl was the oldest of the three Beckett daughters. She fell in love with Rizal.

Tottie helped him in his painting and sculpture. But Rizal suddenly left London for

Paris to avoid Gertrude, who was seriously in love with him.

III. IMPLICATION TO THE COURSE

Studying Rizal’s romances provides insight into his personal life, influences,

and the social dynamics of his time. Understanding these relationships helps us

grasp the complexities of his character, motivations, and how they might have

influenced his works and actions.
