foreign good day everyone this is siri and this is ss041 rizal and his lives and his works today and and could have had amorous relations with no less than 18 women 10 of which were foreign had romantic relations with now you have here segunda nelly boston suzanne jacoby and of course we have josephine bracken of dr serizal was the death of his sister koncha but when it comes to romantic relationships his first heartbreak was supposed to be because of segunda cutting back this was when pepe was only 16 years old and segunda was 14 years old now of course you have leonor valenzuela who was foundly fondly called as orang si orang valenzuela now she was resource neighbor when he boarded in the house of don yacon chaleba in chamuras during his sophomore year at the university of santo tomas as a medicine student now results sent her love notes written in invisible ink i'm not sure if this is still happening until now made of common table salt and water which could be read by heating the note over a candle or lamp pepe visited orang on the eve of his departure to spain and paid her a last goodbye pero backed bina many references declared that orang was a results object of affection too while he was courting the other leonore who was leonor rivera historians when lisa left for spain he received a letter from his friend and confident chen who says saying that well i'm not sure if we're going to give him the benefit of the doubt but that was him as uh as a lover okay at least according to historians okay and so of course orang didn't feel much sorrow upon rizal's departure she was said to have accepted other suitors and attended social parties and ended up marrying an employee of a trade house and so we have here now rivera one true love the doctor and rivera's family resided in the gupan from 1890 to 1891 when the railroad line between manila and the gupana was being constructed were first cousins they were both studying in manila at that time and rizal was staying in the boarding house owned by leonor rivera's father they were sweethearts for 11 years and these was what kept rizal from falling in love with other women in europe unfortunately hindi pogustone nana emiliano rivera said because by that time already rizal was considered as a filibuster or isaac leonor had been faithful even though rizal was studying in europe hid from you know all the letters sent to her by dr rosarisa that's why leonore thought that rizal had already forgotten her consenting to marry the english engineer henry kipping who was then the head of the manila the gopan railroad project henry leonore got married to henry kipping on the following conditions [Music] she will never sing again next she'll never play piano ever and lastly she will wear black all the days of her our lives her decision was not a decision okay she was perhaps forced knowing that it was the well that it was a decision that would make her parents happy however this was not a decision that she's happy about because her heart belongs to dr jose rizal and if you're going to look at the novel noli metang hire died while giving birth to her second son in 1893 she was the daughter of don pablo ortiga the former alcalde of manila who is now residing in madrid spain now rizal dedicated to her a la senorita r which became one of his best poems now maximino and antonio paterno rizal's good friends are frequent visitors too of consuelo now rizal and consuelo met first when consuelo attended a party of filipino compatriots in madrid now rizal recited a poem and consuelo was impressed they met again in the birthday party of consuelo's father and since then consuela often asked rizal for romantic verses dr rossery he agreed with the request however rizal suddenly backed out before the relationship turned serious because una he wanted to remain loyal to leonore as if naman and bhagalava he did not want to destroy his friendship with eduardo deleto who was head over heels in love with consuelo ortiga at that time subali tindina and the letters uh letters he wrote that consuela ortiga lost her humor but she was not happy um our marriage did not push through one of the reasons why she became unhappy was because um dr sarisal okay um she saw all her love affairs crumble and her illusions dry up she was very unfortunate dying alone sad and abandoned a victim of tuberculosis may she rest in peace and of course we have here osa japan okay rizal could have married her and they would have lived happily ever after in japan because rizal had a lucrative job at that time in the spanish legation the spanish embassy said japan but rizal knowing his purpose was a man with a mission a patriotic mission at that seiko island but she was also known as osei-san a japanese samurai's daughter who was uh the first love whose first love was dr jose izal in 1897 a year after resolve's death seiko sui married alfred charlton a british chemistry teacher of the piers school in tokyo and of course we have here gertrude beckett who is considered as the partner in crime of doctor jose now richard beckett was the daughter of charles beckett who was the results landlord at that time she was described as a curvy lady who has cheerful blue eyes brown hair and rosy chicks and of course thin lips sources states that she was the most beautiful among the women of dr jose rizal was in london and it's hitting the successors deal as isla's filipinas of antonio de morgan and rizal was a border in the house of the becket family walking distance british museum now rizal called gertrude as getty and she called him petty so gabe um she gave rizal more than normal assistance she showered him with all attention and she assisted rizal in his paintings and his sculptures together they finished the sculptures like the prometheus bound a triumph of death over life and triumph of signs over death lisal enjoyed gertrude's loving service but sources suggests that rizal never reciprocated gertrude's lob rizal suddenly left london for paris to avoid churchill who was seriously in love with him in now before leaving london he was able to finish the group carving of the beckham sisters he gave the group carving to gertrude as a sign of their brief relationship and so again we have now nelly boston who was considered as wife material okay now nelly boston's father was half filipino half british and her mother was a filipina nelly considered herself actually as a filipino they lived in biarris france a resort city like boracay near the spanish border okay see leonor rivera he already entertained the thought of courting other ladies rizal was a guest of eduardo boston of the resort city of biaritz and he befriended the two daughters of his host and so rizal used to fence with the sisters at the studio of juan luna however antonio luna one luna's brother also was a frequent best visitor of the bostitch in fact c antonio linopo was interested [Music] and so in one party in spain a drunken antonio luna uttered and several remarks against nellie bostad in deep unattawashed doctor that's why he demanded that luna apologize for what he said about nelly but luna responded by challenging rizal to a duel however with the help of their friends the quarrel was fixed and the duel was cancelled was rizal really in love with nelly according to nelly she felt that he was not but she was not sure she was very much uncertain because also she was emotionally reserved however when pepe started to speak of his love for her she discouraged him but pepe was very much persistent so as the weeks went on she changed her heart and according to results historians theirs was a very serious relationship however before he left from the attitude informed nelly's father of his intentions of marrying him of marrying her however nelly is bent on marrying rizal provided that he embrace the protestant faith he was being hosted by a a protestant and she's being romantically involved with a protestant just the same and so religion got in the way of their love for each other the question here is should religion or should one's faith be an issue in getting married or should love transcend religion now rizal and nelly didn't get married for the following reasons refused to be converted to the protestant faith and nellie's mother didn't like rizal because he wasn't earning big yet at that time and so the two parted as good friends when rizal left for europe and then we have suzanne jacoby [Music] moved to brazil's belgium because of the high cost of living in paris in brussels he lived in the boarding house of the two jacoby sisters suzanne cried when rizal left brussels and wrote him when he was in madrid left her place her dream was to follow pepe and to travel with the filipino lover boy who was always in her thoughts she kept writing love letters to pepe even with no response from the latcher and of course the final uh woman who was romantically involved with our national hero the last love of dr josephine bracken okay now rizal was attracted to josephine bracken definitely and at this time lionel rivera has died two years earlier already at first the resale sister suspected josephine as an agent or a spy of the friars and they considered her as a threat to the security of rizal josephine bracken was an irish chinese with bold blue eyes brown hair and a happy disposition she was an adopted daughter of george toffer from hong kong and topher came to the pitan to seek resolve for eye treatment because rizal was already a famous ophthalmologist at that time and so he was accompanied by josephine when they went to the peter however rizal's sister maria rizal thought that there was something so pretentious about josephine the fact that she arrived with manuela orlak in the pitan whose activities in manila were well known gave maria the near certainty that josephine was up to something and so rizal asked josephine to marry him but she was not ready yet to make decision responsibility blindness so he left for hong kong and he was accompanied by josephine however josephine returned to the pitan because with father antonio obak for their marriage however the priest wanted a retraction as a precondition against the spanish regime here in the philippines and abroad but but of course pepe would not retract that's why rizal and bracken had a live-in relationship josephine later on gave birth prematurely to a stillborn baby boy na pinagallana nippena francisco okay after his father now because of an incidence which might have shocked or frightened her if the point caused premature birth in francisco it was mentioned in um the ultimate doctor there she he described uh josephine bracken as his unhappy wife i just had a second marriage of josephine bracken um she got married to vicente abbad and it was said that josephine was said to have moved on and consider her life with rizal a thing of the past not much has been known about her life while in cebu but it must have been a happy one being almost anonymous the abbas didn't stay long in cebu and they later returned to hong kong where josephine died poor and penniless on march 15 1902. the lover
