in Cuba.
July 30, 1896. He received a letter from Spanish Governor
informing him of his proposal
July 31, 1896. Bid his goodbye to the Dapitan residents.
The trial of Rizal was an eloquent proof of Spanish injustice and misrule
His case was prejudged; he was considered guilty before the actual trial.
Rizal was accused of three crimes:
1. Rebellion;
2. Sedition, and;
3. Illegal association.
Rizal read a supplement to his defense which he wrote in his prison cell. In his
supplementary defense, he further proved his innocence by twelve (12) points.

On December 28th, Governor Polavieja approved the decision of the court-
martial and ordered the execution of Rizal on December 30th at
Bagumbayan Field (Luneta).
Governor Polavieja won the eternal hatred of the Filipino people. He and
other Spanish officials who were responsible for the death of Rizal will
evermore remain as obnoxious villains in Philippine history.
On December 28, 1896. Dona Teodora Alonzo wrote a letter to
Governor-General Camilo de Polavieja asking for clemency for her son
Teodora Alonso de Rizal the mother of Rizal is expressing her grief over
her son, Jose Rizal y Mercado, who has been sentenced to extreme
punishment for rebellion against the Mother Country.
Before he died, Rizal was able to bequeath his last thoughts to his
people in a beautiful poem. This poem, which he left untitled,
was aptly given the title of Ultimo Adios (Last Farewell) by the
Rizalists. It was written on December 29, 1896, the eve of his
execution, in his prison cell at Fort Santiago. A most touching
poem, with exquisite finesse and sublime feeling, it is a worthy
swan-song of a great soul.
December 30, 1896, at approximately 6:30 a.m. The start of
Rizals Journey to death was signaled by a trumpet blast at Fort
Santiago.
The advance guard, consisting of four (4) soldiers armed with
bayoneted rifles, moved.
Rizal walked calmly a few meters behind, with his defense
counsel (Lt Luis Taviel de Andrade) on one side and two Jesuit
priests (Father March and Vilaclara) on the other.
Rizal request to be shot facing the firing squad was denied because he
had been ordered to be shot in the back.
Rizal turned his back to receive their bullets, he twisted a hand to
indicate under his shoulder where the soldiers should aim in order to
reach his heart. Then, as the bullet struck, he turned and fell face
upwards, receiving the subsequent "shots of grace" that ended his life,
so that he did not die a trailor's deal in form as wel as fact.
Rizal's death marked a turning point in Philippine history,
galvanizing the nationalist movement and ultimately
contributing to the country's independence from Spanish
rule in 1898, though it was later ceded to the United States.
His legacy as a national hero and intellectual continues to
inspire Filipinos in their pursuit of freedom and social
justice.
