as the second child of Lorenzo Alonso and Brijida de Quintos. She went to
school at the College of Santa Rosa. She was a remarkable woman, she
possessed refined culture, literary talent, business ability and the fortitude of
Spartan women.

Alonso. She and her mother provided the little Jose with good basic
education that by the age of three, Pepe already knew his alphabet.
• PACIANO MERCADO-Is the is the only brother of Dr. Jose Rizal. When he
was a student at the College of San Jose, Paciano had used “Mercado”
as his last name. But because he had gained notoriety with his links to
Father Burgos of the ‘Gomburza,’ he suggested that Jose use the
surname ‘Rizal’ for his own safety.

a teacher and a musician by profession. It was Narcisa who looked for

denied a Christianburial because Dr. Rizal was his brother-in-law.

talked about wanting to marry Josephine Bracken when the majority of
the Rizal family was apparently not amenable to the idea. Jose had also
brought up to Maria his plan of establishing a Filipino colony in North
British Borneo.
• JOSE RIZAL- The second son and the seventh child. The greatest Filipino
hero and a tremendous genius. His nickbname was Pepe. During his excile
