remembering rizal

On Rizal's execution on December 30, 1896 became an important turning point in the history of Philippine revolution.Under the American colonial government, Rizal was considered as one of the most important Filipino heroes of the revolution and was even declared as the National Hero by the Taft Commission, also called the Philippine Commission of 1901.

Taft Commission

Rizal As The Tagalog Christ

In late 1898 and early 1899, revolutionary newspapers La Independencia and El Heraldo de la Revolucion reported about Filipinos commemorating Rizal's death in various towns in the country. The early decades of 1900s then witnessed the founding of different religious organizations honoring Rizal as the Filipino Jesus Christ. In 1907, Spanish writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno gave Rizal the title - Tagalog Christ as religious organisations venerating him had been formed in different parts of the Philippines.

Miguel de Unamuno

Rizal As The Tagalog Christ

Moreover, Filipino revolutionary Felipe Salvador (1870-1912), also known as Apo Ipe, who founded the messianic society Santa Iglesia (Holy Church) was called by his followers as the "Filipino Christ" and the "King of the Philippines. The titles given to some earlier Filipino revolutionary leaders reveal that associating religious beliefs in the social movement is part of the country's history.

Rizal As The Tagalog Christ

The same can also be said with the Rizalista groups which, as mentioned, have risen in some parts of the country after Rizal's death in 1896. Each group has its own teachings, practices, and celebrations, but one common belief among them is the veneration of José Rizal as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. These groups likened the travails of José Rizal to that of Jesus Christ as narrated in the Pasyon, an epic poem which became popular among the Tagalogs during the Spanish period.

THE CANONIZATION OF RIZAL

The earliest record about Rizal being declared as a saint is that of his canonization initiated by the Philippine independent church or La Iglesia Filipina Independente “Acta de Canonizacion de los Grandes Martines dela Patria Dr. Rizal y PP. Burgos Gomez y Zamora”. In September 24 1903. Jose Rizal and the three priest were canonized following the roman catholic rites. “

Iglesia Watawat ng Lahi

Samahan ng watawat ng Lahi (Association of the Banner of the Race) is said to have been established by the Philippine national heroes and Arsenio de Guzman in 1911. It was in this year that de Guzman started to preach to the Filipino people that was the "Christ" and the "Messenger of God". He claimed that God has chosen to Philippines to replace Israel as his "New kingdom". Some believe that it was the spirit of Rizal which was working with de Guzman telling people to live in accordance with Christ's and Rizal's teachings.

For the Ciudad Mistica, Jesus Christ's work is still unfinished and it will be continued by Dr. José Rizal and the "twelve lights" of the Philippines composed of the nineteenth century Philippine heroes.
