family
His three (3) Uncles
1. Tio Jose Alberto - who had studies for eleven years in a
British school in inspired him to develop his artistic ability.
2. Tio Manuel - a husky and athletic man, encouraged him to
develop his frail body by means of physical exercise.
3. Tio Gregorio - a book lover, intensified his voracious
reading of good book. At the age of eight, Rizal wrote his first
poem in the native language entitled “Sa Aking Mga
Kababata”
“To My Fellow Children”
III. Whenever people of a country truly love
The language which by heav'n they were taught to use
That country also surely liberty pursue
As does the bird which soars to freer space above.

For language is the final judge and referee


Upon the people in the land where it holds sway;
In truth our human race resembles in this way
The other living beings born in liberty.
“To My Fellow Children”
III. Whoever knows not how to love his native tongue
Is worse than any best or evil smelling fish.
To make our language richer ought to be our wish
The same as any mother loves to feed her young.

Tagalog and the Latin language are the same


And English and Castilian and the angels' tongue;
And God, whose watchful care o'er all is flung,
Has given us His blessing in the speech we claim,
“To My Fellow Children”
III.
Our mother tongue, like all the highest that we know
Had alphabet and letters of its very own;
But these were lost -- by furious waves were
overthrown
Like banca’s in the stormy sea, long years ago.

you
