1:30 pmQueridas ni Rizal: Love and sex in Philippine History
Dr. Ambeth R. Ocampo
Textbook history lists nine women romantically linked to Jose Rizal, but there are a few more overlooked to round the list to thirteen.
Rizal was serious enough to marry three of these thirteen women, and there is a debate on whether Rizal did marry Josephine Bracken before his execution. Did Rizal have children? What about the urban legend that Rizal is the father of Adolf Hitler?
Amidst all the research and gossip one woman stands alone, one woman Rizal loved among all, but could never marry.
