One of the turning points of his life, which had a profound influence on his becoming a political

activist later on, was the unjust arrest of his mother on the charge of conspiring to poison a

relative, despite the lack of evidence against her. But what made the arrest even worse was her

humiliating treatment at the hands of authorities who made her walk all the way from Calamba to

the provincial jail in Santa Cruz, which was 50 kilometers far. There she was imprisoned for two

years before gaining her freedom. All these she took with calm and quiet dignity, which Rizal

though only a child of eleven about to embark on secondary school in Manila would remember

and replicate during his final moments just before a firing squad snuffed out his meaningful life

on that fateful December morn in 1896.
