FIRST ROMANCE OF RIZAL

Rizal, who was then sixteen years old, experienced his first
romance. The girl was Segunda Katigbak,a pretty fourteenyear old Batanguena from Lipa. Theirs was indeed a love
at first sight. But it was hopeless since the very beginning
because Segunda was already engaged to be married to
her townmate, Manuel Luz. Rizal for all his artistic and
intellectual prowess, was a shy and timid lover. Segunda
had manifested, by insinuation and deeds her affection to
Katigbak
him, but he timidly Segunda
failed to propose.
