Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal was born in the town of Calamba, Laguna on 19th June 1861. The second son and the seventh among the eleven children of Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonso.
With his mother as his first teacher, he began his early education at home and continued in Binan, Laguna. He entered a Jesuit-run Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1872 and obtained a bachelor's degree with highest honors in 1876. He studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas but had to stop because he felt that the Filipino students were being discriminated by their Dominican tutors. He went to Madrid at Universidad Central de Madrid and in 1885 at the age of 24, he finished his course in Philosophy and Letters with a grade of "Excellent".
Reflection
Dr. Jose Rizal is my favorite Filipinohero beacause oh his exemplary works and achievements and his undying love for our country and the Filipino people. He influenced me to strive really hard in life and that education is the mosr important key to success. He serves an an inspiration to the youth who wants to achieve success. His works and achievements are just bonus for him being a hero, but dying for our country simply shows the love for us. I want to live his teachings and soon to continue his legacy.
