adopted in 1731 by Domingo Lamco (the paternal great-greatgrandfather of Jose Rizal), who was a full-blooded Chinese. Rizals
family acquired a second surname Rizal which was given by a
Spanish alcalde mayor of Laguna, who was a family friend. Thus said
Dr. Rizal, in his letter to Blumentritt (without date or place):
I am the only Rizal because at home my parents, my sisters, my
brother, and my relatives have always preferred our old surname
Mercado. Our family name was in fact Mercado, but there were many
Mercados in the Philippines who are not related to us. It is said that
an alcalde mayor, who was a friend of our family added Rizal to our
name. My family did not pay much attention to this, but now I have to
use it. In this way, it seems that I am an illegitimate son
