Transcripts
on risal as the wonder child and of
course we will be looking first at some
notable anecdotes on rizal's childhood
at least based on stories told by his
mother and sisters during the american
period because of course
and of course what better way for us to
start than to look at dr zarizal and his
physical appearance now we know dr
seriza
[Music]
because he was short for his age and he
had a big head that was not proportional
to his body however he was able to learn
how to read and write before the age of
five and of course as we know his mother
was his first very first
teacher of course we know of the story
of the
and so the story of the moth actually
was a revelation of what would happen
to pepe in his uh story and of course
isa has a male black dog which he named
the oz man he would walk his dog every
afternoon up to the lakeshore in uh
he would talk to his dog about social
issues such as abuses and this language
little purpose poetry would also be
considered as we look at
being a wonder kid now when he was a
little boy risa would actually write
poems his priest uncle who was father
lyon wouldn't believe that pepper wrote
those poems because perhaps um he was
amazed by the content of the poem
would raise his voice and argue that
they were really
his
writings now in his uh schooling
dominion he was sent to his mother's
hometown of binyang to study under a
native maestro hostiniano aquino cruz
and during the spanish era we have to
understand
elementary school
in similar public and private schools
there were only private tutors who teach
kids in their backyards and so this was
what happened to rizal okay he was sent
by his mother up to binyan to
over other his classmates and he became
a better spanish writer and speaker
which allegedly was written by rizal
when he was only eight years old however
would not confirm that this was really
peppa's poem
first came out in 1906 which was
actually night a decade already after
his death he died 1896 and the poem only
was released by 1906
um you have to understand that there
were a lot of poems and writings now
again and by lying
right because again this was uh the
national heroes um poem anyway or
writings anyway it was so popular during
that time that writers were glad to
attribute their works to dr
um
the other clue okay
all of his novels and all of his essays
were actually written in spanish and
this was the only poem that supposedly
was written by dr jose
now what we have to understand is the
other clue here okay which states that
the word the use of the word kalyan in
the poem because we have to understand
that it's hard to imagine an
eight-year-old boy to have an
understanding of this word because the k
sound during the time of risale was
spelled with ac however in the poem the
word kalaya and was already spelled
with a k and not ac
okay so this might
raise a lot of questions as to whether
doctor assad
really wrote um
okay the word
we have to understand wasn't in the
tagalog vocabulary yet when lisa was a
little boy and he admitted in a letter
that he first heard of the spanish word
libertad when he was a 20 year old
student in spain so
it would be impossible for an
eight-year-old jose
to understand and know the idea of
kalyan when it was only when he was on
his twenties that he
was able to hear and understand the word
libertad which is independence in
english which is
so this spells a lot of controversy
whether doctor sarizali really
wrote um
however the biggest clue that rizal was
not the author the writer of this poem
was that his sisters wouldn't agree that
it was
little pepe who wrote
so those were the stories surrounding us
together dr rosariza wrote in any way
now when peppa was a little boy he would
often hang out by himself in the baha'i
in their yard and so one morning there
was this story when his sisters found
him there molding clay into a little
statue of napoleon uh bonaparte we know
when we know nepal in one apart we know
of him as uh
as a uh a guy who was celebrated back in
his day um a leader on his own and they
laughed at him for idolizing napoleon
was actually very short as well so see
napoleon bonaparte became an
inspiration dr jose
okay and that happened now um pepe
snapped back at his sisters with i was
there as they were laughing and he said
don't be surprised one day people will
be making statues of me perhaps that was
a very much um
revelatory okay a premonition of what
would happen to the life of dr
rosserisal because it indeed happened in
his lifetime that people were making
statues okay after he died okay because
he was who would be considered as the
national hero of the philippines now his
sisters okay were the guests of honor
during the inauguration of rizal statue
in united during the american period so
again we have to understand that the
sisters of dr sarisa was able to live
still some of his sisters were able to
live so during the american period and
they were present in the unveiling of
several other results statues all over
the country during the
american period you know what could have
the sisters felt during these occasions
were praising him people were were
actually somehow to a certain extent
already revealing result for the
contributions that he made for
not only for the family but definitely
for the entire philippines so if we're
going to look at it somehow resulted a
lot of premonitions as to what would
happen in his life about his life okay
okay so these are some stories um
anecdotes and stories about his
childhood okay
and that wraps up our discussion on the
wonder child dr serizal again this is
ss041 the life and works of doctors and
your online class instructor thank you
for joining me today in our discussion
