rizals teacher in biñan
Answer (1)
Jose Rizal’s teacher in Biñan was Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz. Rizal studied under him when he was sent to Biñan by his father at the age of nine. Maestro Justiniano taught young Jose basic subjects such as reading, writing, Latin, and Spanish. Rizal described him as a good teacher but also someone who used corporal punishment, which was common during that time. This experience helped shape Rizal’s strong advocacy for education reform later in life, especially through his novels and essays.
