Very interesting article when you consider that not much was said about Josephine Bracken, other than they were married in Dapitan.
It is interesting for me to note that She married an Abad in Cebu. My (circa 1895) grandmother’s youngest sister (I call her Lola Ineng) was married to a Judge Abad in Cebu. It made me wonder if his parents were related to the one who married Josephine.

Great article!

Is it possible for me to get a copy of the list of works cited in this article? It would really help me with an upcoming report about Josephine. Thanks for your consideration.

Great article.

There are lots of controversies regarding Dr. Rizal’s final moments. Some historians say he got married. Others say he did not. Some claim that he retracted his political/religious views and pledged allegiance to the Spaniards. Other historians believe that Rizal finally bought the idea of initiating a bloody revolt to overthrow the Spaniards, and he was hoping for some Katipuneros to arrive and rescue him on the eve of the execution.

Up to the point when he was marching towards the site of the firing squad…it is well documented how Rizal repeatedly turned his head to and fro..from right to left..and so on. He seems to be looking for something. Perhaps he was hoping that the Katipuneros would do something drastic to prevent the execution.

Not a single Katipunero arrived. Or if there are Katipuneros present, they are disguised as civilians and didn’t have the courage to stand up against the Spanish soldiers.

In the end, a group of FILIPINO soldiers serving under the Spanish government formed the firing squad and PULLED THE TRIGGER to end the life of their fellow countryman.

What a sad end…
