RIZAL LAW
REPUBLIC ACT 1425 - also known as “The Rizal Law”
f. Love Affairs
There were at least nine women linked with Rizal;
namely Segunda Katigbak, Leonor Valenzuela,
Leonor Rivera, Consuelo Ortiga, O-Sei San,
Gertrude Beckette, Nelly Boustead, Suzanne Jacoby
and Josephine Bracken. These women might have
been beguiled by his intelligence, charm and wit.
LEONOR RIVERA
Leonor Rivera, his sweetheart for 11 years played
the greatest influence in keeping him from falling in
love with other women during his travel.
Unfortunately, Leonor's mother disapproved Rizal,
who was then a known filibustero. She hid from
Leonor all letters sent to her sweetheart. Leonor
believing that Rizal had already forgotten her, sadly
consented her to marry the Englishman Henry
Kipping, her mother's choice.
