“Mercado,” which means Market.
▪Francisco, eventually became primarily a farmer,
adopted the surname “Rizal” which means “the
green of young growth or green fields”
▪The new name, however, caused confusion in the
commercial affairs of the family.
▪Don Francisco thus settled on the name “Rizal
Mercado” as compromise, and often just used his
more known surname “Mercado”

29. History under the surname
Mercado & Rizal
▪ When Paciano was a student at the College of
San Jose, he 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
Jose’s own safety.

happy days in their family garden when he
was three years old.
❖The young Pepe was weak, sickly, and
undersized, he was given the fondest care by
his parents, so his father built a nipa cottage
for Pepe to play in the daytime.

❖Another childhood memory was the daily
Angelus prayer in their home. Rizal recorded
in his memoir that by nightfall, his mother
would gather all the children in their home to
pray the Angelus.

32. ❖When concha died of sickness in 1865, Jose
mournfully wept at losing her.
❖He later wrote a memoir, “When I was four
years old, I lost my little sister Concha, and
then for the first time I shed tears caused by
love and grief” (Memoirs of a student in
Manila, n.d.)
❖At the age of five, young Pepe learned to read
the Spanish family Bible, which he would refer
to later in his writings.
❖As a child, Rizal loved to go to the Chapel,
pray, participate in Novenas, and join religious
procession.

respected was the scholarly catholic priest
Leoncio Lopez, the town priest.

opinions on current events and thorough life
views.
❖Also at the age of five, Pepe started to make
pencil sketches and mold in clay.
❖The mother also induced Jose to Love arts,
literature, and the classics.

a drama (some sources say “a Tagalog
comedy.’’) which was performed at a local
festival and for which the municipal captain
rewarded him with two pesos.
