Introduction
True Confessions: My First Time
150 years since Jose Rizal’s birth, half a century since the nation celebrated his birth centennial in a grand way in 1961 (and his death centennial in 1996) one would think that we would know all that we should know about Rizal by now. The many papers delivered at different conferences here and abroad, however, prove that this is not so and that there will always be new perspectives on Rizal for a long time. Unlike other scholars I offer nothing new except a call to return to the primary sources yet again to ask new questions of something old or ask old questions to get new answers.
Half my life has been spent researching, writing, and lecturing on Rizal, in those years past I have focused on obscure details to keep my newspaper deadlines, to keep my students awake, to keep people thinking. Now at 50, I look back.
Many know the story, how I turned up at the National Archives one day in my youth, curious to see, touch, smell the ancient papers that comprise the primary sources for our history. Then as now the National Archives was a friendly institution: I filled up a form, paid a minimal fee, and was handed a worn folder containing the menu of historical materials available. It was a simple list of topics, in Spanish, sorted by bundles roughly identified by subject and I looked up: Divorcio, Aborto, Extranjeros, Cédulas. While waiting for bundles to be brought in from storage one could browse through bound photocopies of the Record groups marked: Sediciones y Rebelliones and Erección de Pueblos available in the reading room.
At some point I let my fingers do the walking down a list of Varias personas noting names I remembered from textbook history. It was from this list that I requested the Rizal bundle and waited. A researcher from the National Historical Institute, who was eavesdropping on everyone else in the room, read my request form, smirked, and with an odd mixture of condescension and assistance, came up to me and whispered, ”Why do you want to see the Rizal bundle? What do you expect to find there? Everything on Rizal has been written and published already.” Gasgas na yan were his sharp words. Those words rang in my ears years later when this man was caught red-handed by NBI agents in an Ermita antique shop peddling original documents he pilfered from the Philippine Insurgent Records in the National Library. After a trial that took almost a decade he was found guilty and has since “disappeared” allegedly protected by a political patron.
Looking back, if I had been swayed by his practical advice, I would be an expert on something else. I could be doing town or family histories and not be the Rizal scholar I am today. That fateful day my pride got the better of me. Shamed, I held my ground and nervously awaited the delivery of the Rizal bundle. What if he was right, what if everything on Rizal had already been written and published? My only concern at the time was the experience of handling Rizal manuscripts; I wanted to literally touch history.
Compared to the hefty bundles of archival manuscripts on the desks of the other researchers, the Rizal bundle that landed on my desk looked slim and unpromising. Untying the string and opening the Manila paper wrapping I was greeted by a note signed by James Alexander Robertson, Director of the National Library, he of “Blair and Robertson” fame. Long before the war, Robertson had ordered and authorized the tr...
