10. 3 women when he was in UST MISS L LEONOR VALENZUELA LEONOR RIVERA

11. Margarita Almeda Gomez Who she is : second love of Rizal. Young woman from Pakil , Laguna. Describe by Rizal as with fair complexion, seductive and with attractive eyes. How it ended : 1) Rizal’s memory of Segunda was still fresh in his heart 2) Rizal’s father objected the love affair of Rizal with her

12. LEONOR VALENZUELA Who she is:  Leonor or "Orang" was his neighbor when he stayed in Intramuros while studying at the University of Sto . Tomas . How they met:  Being neighbors gave Rizal plenty of opportunities to find some reason to hang out with Orang whether or not there was an occasion for them to meet up. He wrote love letters to her in invisible ink, and it's been speculated that he did so to cover up his indiscretion, as he was also pursuing his next love, Leonor Rivera, at the time . How it ended:  Without tears or fanfare. Rizal may have been besotted with Orang, but it's likely that Orang didn't feel the same way about him. She went on with her life, entertaining other suitors, and not even shedding a tear when Rizal left the country.

13. LEONOR VALENZUELA

14. LEONOR RIVERA Who she is:  Leonor was the daughter of a cousin of Rizal's father, making her Rizal's cousin and his childhood sweetheart . How they met:  They met in Manila when Leonor was 13 years old, and even as Rizal left for Europe two years later, the two kept up their correspondence, which supposedly kept Rizal inspired during his studies . How it ended:  Rizal’s letters to Leonor went unacknowledged for a whole year, as Leonor married Henry Charles Kipping, an English railway engineer - but not because she wanted to. Her mother preferred Kipping over Rizal, and to convince Leonor to marry Kipping, she said Rizal was engaged to Ferdinand Blumentritt's daughter.
