Jose Rizal reenactment of martyrdom

Jose Rizal reenactment of martyrdom
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

It was December 30, 1896 when Dr. Josè P. Rizal, dressed in a black suit with white vest, began his march from his cell at Fort Santiago to the site of his execution in what was then called  Bagumbayan, now better known as Luneta. Historical accounts show that he held  a rosary in his right hand, Rizal was tied at the elbows followed by  four armed guards. Filipino troops composed the firing squad designated by Spanish authorities to execute Rizal. Upon firing, he turned around to face his executioners.

On December 29, 2023, the 127th Anniversary of his martyrdom, this scene was reenacted on stage by the Knights of Rizal, New York Chapter, directed by Sir Nonong Aquino. The role of Josè Rizal was played by Juan Mariano Cueva Magdaraog, who was subsequently knighted in formal ceremonies. The role of Capitan was played by Sir Consul Ricarte Abejuella III. Nostalgic  music played, “Adios Patria Adorada” as Rizal was shot. A video clip may be viewed at: https://youtu.be/THFC6RWxKKg?si=x7qyXvHudOnhfEeU

The program created by Sir Romulo Aromin focused on Josè Rizal as an Artist: Iterations in American Art, in partnership with the Philippine Consulate General of New York, co-hosted by Chapter Commander Cayetano Paderanga and Lady Elizabeth Cueva, Secretary of The Ladies for Rizal, New York Chapter, an auxiliary organization that fosters camaraderie among its members  and propagate the teachings of Dr. Josè Rizal.

The yearend commemoration is part of an annual tradition for the past 32 years when the New York Chapter  was originally established by Sir Roger Alama in 1992.  Chartered as a public corporation under Republic Act No. 646 on June 14, 1951, the Order of Knights of Rizal has mushroomed into several chapters around the world. The New York Chapter has 120 members, there are other chapters at Long Island, Queens and the Metropolitan Chapter, all dedicated to following the ideals and virtues of our national hero.

A special part of the program highlighted achievements of Filipino-Americans in New York area who excelled in the field of arts: Opera singer Sir Rogelio Peñaverde Jr., photographer Carlos Esguerra, singer Joy Tamayo and painter Sir Cesar Delos Santos III. A brief discussion in the role and challenges encountered by Filipinos while breaking the mainstream performing arts in New York was moderated by actress Lady Lorli Villanueva.

New York based non-profit Eagle Eye Charities Inc., through its Founder Carol Tanjutco (INQ contributor) presented the winning entries of the Jose Rizal National Portraiture competition held in Manila. The top winning entry by Evan Respeto was used during the wreath laying. The second winning portrait rendered by Artemio Anga  is offered for installation at Sentro Rizal of New York, where it can be viewed by visitors of the Philippine Center.

Philippine Consul General of New York Senen Mangalile stated, “While Dr. Jose P.,Rizal is predominantly celebrated as a national hero, it is crucial to recognize the profound impact he had as an artist. His creative expressions ranging from poetry to visual arts, served as powerful instruments for social change and cultural awakening.” He also thanked the Eagle Eye Charities and its Founder for installing the winning portrait of Dr. Josè P. Rizal at Sentro Rizal, “to propagate his ideals and ideas, and to convey the timelessness of his message.”
