1. Saturnina Rizal (1850-1913) She and her mother provided the little
Jose with good basic education that by the age of three, Pepe (Jose's
nickname) already knew his alphabet.
2. Paciano Rizal, Jose's only brother, he was fondly addressed by his
siblings as Nor Paciano, short for "Senor Paciano." The 10-year older
brother of Jose studied at San Jose College in Manila, became a
farmer, and later a general of the Philippine Revolution.
3. Narcisa Rizal (1852-1939) or simply "Sisa” was the third child in the
family. Later in history, Narcisa (like Sturnina) would help in
financing Rizal's studies in Europe, even pawning her jewelry and
peddling her clothes if needed. It was said she could recite from
memory almost all of the poems of our national hero.
4. Olympia Rizal (1855-1887) Jose loved to tease her, sometimes good-humoredly
describing her as his stout sister. Jose's first love, Segunda Katigbak, was
Olympia's schoolmate at the La Concordia College. Rizal confided to Olympia
(also spelled "Olimpia”) about Segunda, and the sister willingly served as the
mediator between the two teenage lovers.
5. Lucia Rizal (1857—1919) She married Mariano Herbosa of Calamba, Laguna.
Lucia's husband died during the cholera epidemic in May 1889 and was refused
a Catholic burial for not going to confession since his marriage to Lucia.
6. Maria Rizal and Daniel had five children: Mauricio, Petrona, Prudencio, Paz, and
Encarnacion. Their son Mauricio married Conception Arguelles and the couple
had a son named Ismael Arguelles Cruz. Ismael was the father of Gemma Cruz
Araneta, the first Filipina to win the Miss International title, also the first
Southeast Asian to win an international beauty-pageant title.
8. Concepcion (1862-1865) - She died at age of three because of
sickness and it was Rizal‘s first sorrow in life.
9. Josefa joined the Katipunan and was even supposed to have been
elected the president of its women section. She was one of the
original 29 women admitted to the Katipunan along with Gregoria de
Jesus, wife of Andres Bonifacio.
10. Trinidad Rizal (1868-1951) or "Trining" was the tenth child.
Historically, she became the custodian of Rizal’s last and greatest
poem. Right before Jose's execution, Trinidad and their mother visited
him in the Fort Santiago prison cell
11. Soledad Rizal (1870-1929) was the youngest child of the Rizal family.
Being a teacher, she was arguably the best-educated among Rizal's
sisters.
They met when Rizal was a sophomore medical student at the University of
Santo Tomas, during which time he also lived at Doña Concha Leyva’s
boarding house in Intramuros, Manila. Orang, who was then 14 years old,
was his neighbor.
Leanor Rivera and Jose Rizal lived the tragedies of Shakespeare’s
poems.They met when Rizal was 18 and Leonor was 13, at the boarding
house of Rizal’s uncle in Intramuros, Manila. Leonor was Rizal’s second
cousin.
In many of his diary entries, Rizal wrote about how he was charmed by
Japan’s beauty, cleanliness, and peace and order. But if there was one thing
that almost kept him in the country where cherry blossoms bloom most
beautiful, it was a woman named Seiko Usui, affectionately called O-Sei-San.
First love never dies they say—unless your first love is already engaged to be
married when you meet. Then you have to let it go really fast. Such was the
case of Jose Rizal and Segunda Katigbak, a Batangueña, whom Rizal met
when he was only a 16-year-old boy
