Paciano Rizal was born in March 7, 1851, paciano was the second of the eleven Rizal children, ten years older than Jose Rizal.He studied in Colegio de San Jose and later in University of Santo Tomas both in Manila. He had to drop out of school because he was associated with martyred priests Fr. Jose Burgos who was accused a filibusterismo by Spanish government.
Paciano did not want to be photograph because his reason was he was a wanted man in the past and if there were no photographs of him, then it would be hard for authorities to arrest him. There are only two known photographs of the man a stolen snap and a recuerdo de patay, taken after his death.
Paciano is remembered by his relatives to be a tall man with a healthy complexion. One of Paciano Rizal's exploits its getting the Spaniards to surrender in Calamba.
Paciano was
the last officer to surrender to the Amercans after the Filiino-American War. He only did so because he was suffering from malaria. The americans wanted him to swear allegiance to their flag but replied "he has only one flag".
