morning of December 30, Dr. Jose Rizal
walked from Fort Santiago to
Bagumbayan Field (now the Luneta).
• His arms were tied behind his back.
• Beside him walked Lt. Luis de Andrade,
who had defended him in the trial,
Fathers Vilaclara and March. Before and
behind him were soldiers.

9. •His last words were those of Jesus Christ:
“consummatum est”,--it is finished.
•Then Roll of drums and a volley of artillery accompany
the firing of the soldiers.
•And even at the moment of his fall, Rizal turns his body
so that he ends up lying on his back, with his face to the
sun.
•While the Filipinos see the execution in enraged silence,
calls of "Viva España!" resound thunderously.

Cemetery in Manila with no
identification on his grave.
• His sister Narcisa toured all possible
gravesites and found freshly turned
earth at the cemetery with guards
posted at the gate.
• she made a gift to the caretaker to
mark the site "RPJ", Rizal's initials in
reverse.
