Mae Ann Bequillo: Reporter's Notebook (Part 2)

Mina Ohayou!!!
Ipinagpatuloy pa rin namin iyong reporting and as expected, si Ms. Mae Ann Bequillo pa rin iyong mag- uulat but this time, about sa "Pasyang Mag- aral sa Sto. Tomas" naman iyong iniulat niya.

... To start, iyong pasyang mag- aral ni Rizal sa Sto. Tomas has one reason. First, he wants to take up MEDICINE course for him to treat her mother who has a KATARATA. But his mother was not in favor of Rizal's further studies in a university. She believed kasi that if her son would become too wise, he would lose his life. Naalala niya kasi iyong mga educated Filipinos who had been persecuted by the Spanish authorities, such as the GOMBURZA who are composed of Father Gomez, Burgos and Zamora. But Rizal still studied far from his mother's presence.
... Nag- aral siya sa Sto. Tomas when he is 16 years old in June, 1887.
... he took up the course in Philosophy and Letters because his father wants him to be a philosopher.

... The following year (1878), he changed his course into MEDICINE.
... While studying at the Sto. Tomas, he had accomplished many literary works. He wrote the poem, "To the Filipino Youth", na nanalo ng First prize in a literary contest by the Artistic- Literary Lyceum of Manila in 1879.

Iyon lang naman iyong nagawa niya... hehehe

Sige, hanggang dito na lang muna and I will just give you and share to you my realizations and experience next meeting...

Bye!!!
