LadiesIf this man is a
gentleman, he would close the door…
Hmmm. . .
OnboardSuddenly, the door of the dining room was
blown open, due to a heavy squall
encountered by the running steamer.
Nobody stood up to close the door.
Rizal without saying
a word, he rose and
closed the door, after
which he resumed
his seat.
The ladies were very
much embarrassed,
and thereafter they
treated Rizal with
admiration
Whoa…

Christmas of 1891 Hong Kong was one of the happiest yuletide celebrations in Rizal’ s life, for he had a happy family reunion.To Blumenttrit:
‘Here we are all living together, my parents, sisters, and brother,in
peace and far from the perse-cutions they suffered in the
Philippines. They arevery much pleased with
the English government.´
OPTHALMIC SURGEON IN HONG
KONG
Rizal practiced medicine in order to earn a living.
Dr. Lorenzo P. Marques, a Portuguese physician,became Rizal’s friend and admirer and helped Rizalbuild a wide clientele
To Blumenttrit:
‘Here I practiced as a doctor and I have here many sick of influenza because there is
an epidemic. Through the newspapers, I am informed that this sickness is also causing
ravages in Europe. I hope you and your esteemed family will be spared. In our house, my mother, my brother-in-law,
and one of my sisters are sick.Thank God, they are out of danger.´
OPTHALMIC SURGEON IN HONG KONG…
Friends of Rizal from Europe gave him moral and substantial aid
Congr
atz!Here’s a copy of Diagnostic
Pathology (Dr. H. Virchow) and Traite Diagnostique
(Mesnichock)
OPTHALMIC SURGEON IN HONG KONG…
Dear diary,
He (Rizal) had all the qualities that would
make an ideal ophthalmic surgeon, keen and
analytical intellect, lightness of touch and artistry
of a painter, courage and imperturbability, a
broad and deep knowledge of medicine and
ophthalmology, and last but not least, he had
been properly and adequately trained by masterophthalmic surgeons.´
Dr. Geminiano de Ocampo
BORNEO COLONIZATION
PROJECT* Because of the hardship of the Calamba folks under Gov. Gen.
Valeriano Weyler, Rizal conceived the establishment of aFilipino colony in North Borneo (Sabah).
* He planned to move the landless Filipino families to thatrich British owned island making a “New Calamba”
BORNEO COLONIZATION PROJECT…
* Rizal went to Sandakan on board the ship Menon to negotiate with the British authorities.
* The British authorities of Borneo were willing to give the Filipino colonists 100,000 acres of land, a beautiful harbor and a good government for 999 years, free of all charges.
* Juan and Antonio Luna, Lopez Jaena, Blumentritt, Dr. Bautista Lin, etc. enthusiastically endorsed his project.
BORNEO COLONIZATION PROJECT…
* Manuel Hidalgo objected the project
* Governor Wyler was relieved of his guberna-torial office. Inthe belief that Governor Despujol was sincere in hisbeautiful promises, Rizal sent him a letter of felicitation andoffering his cooperation.
* Despujol did not give Rizal the courtesy of reply.
BORNEO COLONIZATION PROJECT…
* He notified the Spanish consul general in Hong Kong to tellRizal that he could not approve the Filipino immigration toBorneo, alleging that the Philippines lacked laborers´ and itwas not very patriotic to go off and cultivate foreign soil
