Moreover, it is said water evaporates without leaving a mark while blood leaves a stain. This proverb was first recorded in the 15th century, centuries before the martyrdom of Jose Rizal and the dispersion of his relatives from Calamba in 1896. I can say with some accuracy that Rizal’s family and their descendants have little in common with him.

(I call them Tita because I am related to Tita Mameng by marriage. My brother, Antonio, is married to her youngest daughter, Cecile). They are direct descendants of Narcisa Rizal, said to be the favorite sister of the hero. I wanted to find out just what they knew about December 30, 1898.
