SUMMARY OF CHAPTERS 11 TO 16, I. CHAPTER 11 - BACK TO CALAMBA, 1887-1888
After 5 years of memorable sojourn in Europe, Rizal returned to the Philippines in
August 1887 despite the warnings of his brother and friends not to returned home because his
enemies, who resented his Noli, persecuted him, even threatening to kill him. He was determined
to return home because he wanted to operate his mother's eyes. He wanted to serve the people
who had been long oppressed by Spanish Tyrants. He wanted to find out for himself how the
Noli were affecting the Filipinos and Spaniards and he wanted to find out why Leonor Rivera
had remained silent.
By August 8th, he reached Calamba and there he established his medical clinic and
successfully operated his mother’s eyes but failed to see Leonor Rivera during his stay. And in a
few weeks after his arrival, a storm broke over his novel. For safety purposes, Governor General
Emilio Terrero assigned Don Jose Taviel de Andrade as Rizal's bodyguard because his enemies
are planning his downfall. Most of the pries including Fr. Font and Fr. Rodriguez discredited the
novel by writing a pamphlet and a report against the Noli. It was also fiercely attacked on the
session hall of the senate of the Spanish Cortes by General Vida and de Pando and by the
member of the lower house of the Spanish, General Salamanca.
Luckily, some important people defended the novel. First, Marcelo H. Del Pilar wrote a
pamphlet entitled Caiigat Cayo as an answer to Fr. Rodriguez' pamphlet. Second, Father Sanchez
was able to defend the novel in public. Third, Rev. Vicente Garcia published a defense in
Singapore as an appendix to a pamphlet. And lastly, Rizal himself, also defended his novel
against Barrantes' attack through letter by exposing Barrantes' ignorance of Philippine affairs.
Later on, Rizal left Calamba to protect the welfare of his family and friends. He was able
to wrote a poem entitles Himno Al Trabajo dedicated to the industrious folks of Lipa.
