    secret archives in Madrid and Segovia. He found a thick sheaf of Rizal’s defense
    (unofficial defense – ADICIORES A MI DEFENSA0 which he had written before his
    execution in December 30, 1896. Fernandez said “I have documents stating before he
    faced death, Rial told Narcisa to look inside his shoes because he had a secret letter
    there (Pasigui & Cabalu, 2006).

    Manoling Morato, a friend of Baron Fernandez, bought from Fernandez the alleged document containing
    Rizal’s denial of the said retraction that took place hours before his execution. Morato maintained that Rizal
    never retracted although friars managed to published a fake copy of his retraction (Pasigui & Cabalu, 2006).
