life of rizal in belgian brussels
BELGIAN BRUSSELS (1890)
6:14 AM 2 comments

-January 28, 1890- Rizal left Paris for Brussels, capital of Belgium
-Two reasons impelled Rizal to leave Paris, namely (1) the cost of living in Paris was very high because of the Universal Exposition (2) the gay social life of the city hampered his literary works, especially the writing of his second novel, El Filibusterismo

LIFE IN BRUSSELS
· Rizal was accompanied by Jose Albert when he moved to Brussels. They lived in a modest boarding house on 38 Rue Philippe Champagne, which was run by two Jacoby sisters (Suzanne and Marie). Later Albert, left the city and was replaced by Jose Alejandro, an engineering student
· Rizal was the first to advocate the Filipinization of its orthography
· Sobre la Nueva Ortografia de la Lengua Tagala (The New Orthography of the Tagalog Language)- was published in La Solidaridad on April 15, 1890
-in this article, he laid down the rules of the new Tagalog orthography and with modesty and sincerity, he gave credit for the adoption of this new orthography to Dr. Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, author of the celebrated work El Sanscrito en la Lengua Tagala (Sanskrit in the tagalog Language) which was published in Paris, 1884
** “I put this on record,” wrote Rizal, “so that when the history of this orthography is traced, which is already being adopted by the enlightened Tagalists, that what is Caesar’s be given to Caesar. This innovation is due solely to Dr. Pardo de Tavera’s studies on Tagalismo. I was one of its zealous propagandists.”**
· Letters from home which Rizal received in Brussels worried him. (1) the Calamba agrarian trouble was getting worse (2) the Dominican Order filed a suit in court to dispossess the Rizal family of their lands in Calamba
· In his moment of despair, Rizal had bad dreams during the nights in Brussels when he was restless because he was always thinking of his unhappy family in Calamba
· Rizal feared that he would not live long. He was not

    Then in the land troubles at Calamba he suggested to the tenants that they ask in the lawsuits that the landlords show their deeds. This he knew these would be unwilling to do because they were claiming more land than their deeds covered. Also he got the town to report the full amount of rents paid so that the landlords would have to pay taxes which before they had been escaping.

    This chapter talks about how the Spanish missionaries such as Francisco Blancas de San Jose translated the vernacular of the Filipino natives into Castilian and why is it that they only focus on helping their fellow missionaries and not the natives. Spanish scholar Nebrija writes that “Language is always the companion of empire; therefore it follows that together they begin, grow, and flourish and together they fall.” Hence with this in mind, missionaries are required to dominate the language of the natives. In order to do this, they create books such as dictionaries which will be able to help them understand the language. Men such as Father Francisco Blancas de San Jose made a book entitled “Artes y reglas de la lengua tagala” for the benefit of the missionaries in order to understand the natives and will be able to preach the word of God. The missionaries believed that languages are all in the same since they all come from one source which is God hence there is much fervour to learn the language of the natives. Though there is contradiction to what they believe since there are words in the Baybayin wherein there is no direct translation to Tagalog like Jesus Christ. Because of this, the translation could only benefit the Spaniards and not the Filipinos and that the Filipinos could not really understand what the Spaniards are trying to say.…

    The first thing I noticed in Dr. Jose Rizal’s life was that he lived a simple one. He did not choose to have a luxurious life like the most of us have wanted. Even before he became under surveillance by the Spaniards, he had lived his life as simple as possible. I think it was the work of his parents that made him lived like this. I strongly believe that one’s lifestyle is influenced mostly by their parents. I learned from the life of Rizal the importance of taking part of the parents to their children’s morals.…
