Rizal and Teodora Alonso y Quintos, was born in Calamba, Laguna on June
1861.
He was baptized JOSE RIZAL MERCADO at the Catholic of Calamba by the
parish priest Rev. Rufino Collantes with Rev. Pedro Casañas as the sponsor on
September 28, 1862. The parochial church of Calamba and the canonical
books, including the book in which Rizal’s baptismal records were entered,

In
1864.Barely three years old, Rizal learned the alphabet from his mother. Later
in 1865 when he was four years old, his sister Conception, the eight child in
the Rizal family, died at the age of three. It was on this occasion that Rizal
remembered having shed real tears for the first time.
In the years 1865 – 1867, his mother taught him how to read and write. His
father hired a classmate by the name of Leon Monroy who, for five months
until his (Monroy) death, taught Rizal the rudiments of Latin. At about this
time two of his mother’s cousin frequented Calamba. Uncle Manuel Alberto,
seeing Rizal frail in body, concerned himself with the physical development of
his young nephew and taught the latter love for the open air and developed in
him a great admiration for the beauty of nature, while Uncle Gregorio, a
scholar, instilled into the mind of the boy love for education. He advised Rizal:
"Work hard and perform every task very carefully; learn to be swift as well as
thorough; be independent in thinking and make visual pictures of everything."
With his father, Rizal made a pilgrimage to Antipolo on June 6, 1868 to fulfill
the vow made by his mother to take the child to the Shrine of the Virgin of
Antipolo should she and her child survive the ordeal of delivery which nearly
caused his mother’s life.From there they proceeded to Manila and visited his
sister Saturnina who was at the time studying in the La Concordia College in
Sta. Ana.
In 1869 at the age of eight, Rizal wrote his first poem entitled "Sa Aking Mga
Kabata." The poem was written in tagalog and had for its theme "Love of One’s
Language."

Early Education in Calamba and Biñan

Rizal had his early education in Calamba and Biñan. It was a typical schooling
that a son of an ilustrado family received during his time, characterized by the
four R’s- reading, writing, arithmetic, and religion. Instruction was rigid and
strict. Knowledge was forced into the minds of the pupils by means of the
tedious memory method aided by the teacher’s whip. Despite the defects of the
Spanish system of elementary education, Rizal was able to acquire the
necessary instruction preparatory for college work in Manila. It may be said
that Rizal, who was born a physical weakling, rose to become an intellectual
giant not because of, but rather in spite of, the outmoded and backward
system of instruction obtaining in the Philippines during the last decades of
Spanish regime.

The first teacher of
Rizal was his mother, who was a remarkable woman of good character and fine
culture. On her lap, he learned at the age of three the alphabet and the
prayers. "My mother," wrote Rizal in his student memoirs, "taught me how to
read and to say haltingly the humble prayers which I raised fervently to God."
As tutor, Doña Teodora was patient, conscientious, and understanding. It was
she who first discovered that her son had a talent for poetry. Accordingly, she
encouraged him to write poems. To lighten the monotony of memorizing the
ABC’s and to stimulate her son’s imagination, she related many stories. As
Jose grew older, his parents employed private tutors to give him lessons at
home. The first was Maestro Celestino and the second, Maestro Lucas Padua.
Later, an old man named Leon Monroy, a former classmate of Rizal’s father,
became the boy’s tutor. This old teacher lived at the Rizal home and instructed
Jose in Spanish and Latin. Unfortunately, he did not lived long. He died five
months later.
After a Monroy’s death, the hero’s parents decided to send their gifted son to a
private school in Biñan. Jose Goes to Biñan One Sunday afternoon in June ,
1869, Jose, after kissing the hands of his parents and a tearful parting from
his sister, left Calamba for Biñan. He was accompanied by Paciano, who acted
as his second father. The two brothers rode in a carromata, reaching their
destination after one and one-half hours’ drive. They proceeded to their aunt’s
house, where Jose was to lodge. It was almost night when they arrived, and the
moon was about to rise. That same night, Jose, with his cousin named
Leandro, went sightseeing in the town. Instead of enjoying the sights, Jose
became depressed because of homesickness. "In the moonlight," he recounted,
"I remembered my home town, my idolized mother, and my solicitous sisters.
Ah, how sweet to me was Calamba, my own town, in spite of the fact that was
not as wealthy as Biñan.
First Day in Biñan (Monday) Paciano brought his younger brother to the
school of Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz. The school was in the house of the
teacher, which was a small nipa hut about 30 meters from the home of Jose’s
aunt.Paciano knew the teacher quite well because he had been a pupil under
him before. He introduced Jose to the teacher, after which he departed to
return to Calamba. Immediately, Jose was assigned his seat in the class. The
teacher asked him:"Do you know Spanish?""A little, sir," replied the Calamba
lad. "Do you know Latin?", "A little, sir." The boys in the class, especially Pedro,
the teacher’s son laughed at Jose’s answers. The teacher sharply stopped all
noises and begun the lessons of the day. Jose described his teacher in Biñan
as follows: "He was tall, thin, long-necked, with sharp nose and a body slightly
bent forward, and he used to wear a sinamay shirt, woven by the skilled hands

the women of
Batangas. He knew by the heart the grammars by Nebrija and Gainza. Add to
this severity that in my judgement was exaggerated and you have a picture,
perhaps vague, that I have made of him, but I remember only this.
In the afternoon of his first day in school, when the teacher was having his
siesta, Jose met the bully, Pedro. He was angry at this bully for making fun of
him during his conversation with the teacher in the morning. Jose challenged
Pedro to a fight. The latter readily accepted, thinking that he could easily beat
the Calamba boy who was smaller and younger. The two boys wrestled
furiously in the classroom, much to the glee of their classmates. Jose, having
learned the art of wrestling from his athletic Tio Manuel, defeated the bigger
boy. For this feat, he became popular among his classmates. After the class in
the afternoon, a classmate named Andres Salandanan challenged him to an
arm-wrestling match. They went to a sidewalk of a house and wrestled with
their arms. Jose, having the weaker arm, lost and nearly cracked his head on
the sidewalk. In succeeding days he had other fights with the boys of Biñan. He
was not quarrelsome by nature, but he never ran away from a fight.
Jose spent his leisure hours with Justiniano’s father-in-law, a master painter.
From him he took his first two sons, two nephews, and a grandson. His way life
was methodical and well regulated. He heard mass at four if there was one that
early, or studied his lesson at that hour and went to mass afterwards.
Returning home, he might look in the orchard for a mambolo fruit to eat, then
he took his breakfast, consisting generally of a plate of rice and two dried
sardines. After that he would go to class, from which he was dismissed at ten,
then home again. He ate with his aunt and then began at ten, then home
again. He ate with his aunt and then began to study. At half past two he
returned to class and left at five. He might play for a short time with some
cousins before returning home. He studied his lessons, drew for a while, and
then prayed and if there was a moon, his friends would invite him to play in
the street in company with other boys.
Best Student in School In academic studies, Jose beat all Biñan boys. He
surpassed them all in Spanish, Latin, and other subjects. Some of his older
classmates were jealous of his intellectual superiority. They wickedly squealed
to the teacher whenever Jose had a fight outside the school, and even told lies
to discredit him before the teacher’s eyes. Consequently the teacher had to
punish Jose.
End of Binan Schooling. Before the Christmas season in 1870, Rizal received
a letter from his sister Saturnina, informing him of the arrival of steamer Talim
which would take him from Binan to Calamba. Before completely leaving

Binan, he bade
farewell to his teachers and classmates and collected pebbles in the river for
souvenirs. It was the first time that Rizal rode a steamer and on board was
Arturo Camps, Frenchman friend of his father.
