Upon Rizals death, his supposedly retraction letter became of one of the most controversial documents in our history. This retraction letter allegedly contains his renunciation of the Masonry and his anti-Catholic religious ideas. Depending on whose side you are on, some Rizalists claims that it is fake while some believe it to be genuine. There had been some evidences but so far these had only heated up the debate between the two factions.

At about 6:30 A.M., a trumpet sounded at Fort Santiago, a signal to begin the death march to Bagumbayan. Rizal walked calmly with his defense counsel and two Jesuit priests at his sides. He was dressed elegantly in a black suit, black derby hat, black shoes, white shirt and black tie. His arms were tied behind from elbow to elbow. There a lot of spectators lining the street from Fort Santiago to Bagumbayan.

As he was going through the narrow Postigo Gate, Rizal looked at the sky and said to one of the priests: How beautiful it is today, Father. What morning could be more serene! How clear is Corregidor and the mountains of Cavite! On mornings like this, I used to take a walk with my sweetheart. While he was passing in front of the Ateneo, he saw the college towers above the walls. He asked: Is that the Ateneo, Father? Yes, replied the priest.

Rizal bade farewell to Fathers March and Vilaclara and to his defender, Lt. Luis Taviel de Andrade. Although his arms were tied, he had firmly clasped their hands in parting. One of the priests blessed him and offered him a crucifix to kiss. He requested the commander of the firing squad that he be shot facing them. His request was denied for the captain had implicit orders to shoot him at his back.

A Spanish military physician, Dr. Felipe Ruiz Castillo, asked his permission to feel his pulse. He was amazed to find it normal, showing that Jose Rizal was not afraid to die. The death ruffles of the drums filled the air. Above the drum beats, the sharp command Fire was heard, and the guns of the firing squad barked. Rizal, with supreme effort, turned his bullet-riddled body to the right, and fell on the ground dead with face upward facing the morning sun. It was exactly 7:03 in the morning aged 35 years, 5 moths and 11 days.

I die just when I see the dawn break, through the gloom of night, to herald the day; And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, pourd out at need for thy sake, to dye with its crimson the waking ray.
