Answer 3

According to  some stories which I heard long time ago,  Jose Rizal's wife (?) Josephne Bracken was a daughter of a prostitute. It was because of this that Rizal's parents did not approve of Josephine Bracken to be  Rizal's wife and she was  not welcome in his family. After Rizal's death, Josephine went to live on her own  (possibly went back to her country. This story  may not or may be true but it was just a rumour and its truthfulness have  not been verified.

Answer 4

that he played madjong for one week without sleeping

Answer 5

The raging controversy then, and until now, was whether or not Jose Rizal made a retraction of all his anti-church writings before he died.

And of course, he did.   It was extracted under duress.  Maybe, they threatened to remove his fingernails one by one.   It does not, however, change the outcome of his writings, and more importantly, the purpose his death served for the Revolution.

About Josephine, when Rizal was killed, she became a General for the Revolution, a real honest to God amazon for the Katipunan.   She remarried to another Filipino, I think surnamed "Ochoa".  Rizal's folks had reservations on Josephine because they thought she was a spy for the Spaniards.
