I have searched for books about Jose Rizal retraction and found an article authored by Gagelonia vehemently saying that Jose Rizal did not retract as evidence by his letters to some of his close friends. So for me Rizal was not retract it would be historically wrong to claim that Rizal repudiated the Revolution, he did not it. It would likewise be historically unfair to judge Rizal as a non-advocate of the revolution. Rizal also mentioned in one of his letters to Ferdinand Blimentritt that he has no desire to take part in conspiracies. The strong nationalist and patriotic character of Dr. Jose Rizal sets him apart from others. He was firm and bold in his opposition to the colonizers that is why it is hard to just believe that he retracted from his nationalist goals in just a blink of an eye.
Even if Jose Rizal has been found to retract from his religious beliefs but not still proven true. a number of materials prove that he did not retract from his nationalist and patriotic goals. He did not change his strong opposition stance overnight but instead continued to express his desires through subtle writings with a humungous impact to the eaders which until now resoantes in our society
