He was unjustly accused and summarily executed by the Spanish government in Bagumbayan Manila on December 30, 1896 by firing squad.
Personal Life of Jose Rizal
➢ Rizal was the seventh born of the eleven children in the Rizal family. His Filipino parents Francisco Mercado and Teodora Realonda were rich farmers in Calamba Laguna and had Chinese-Spanish lineage. Fondly called "Pepe", Jose learned to read and write at an early age of five. Historian Austin Craig also claimed that Rizal was a descendant of Lakandula, the famed Rajah of Tondo from the pre-colonial era.

Due to the order of Governor General Francisco Claveria, Jose's Father Francisco Mercado was forced to adopt the surname Rizal (which meant Green Rice Fields), hence the change to Francisco Mercado Rizal.
