Regarded as one of Philippines' greatest heroes; José Rizal definitely made a big mark on Philippine history. In the City of Calamba, in the Laguna province, a reconstruction of his old childhood home has become a big touristic attraction...
Without going to much into a history lesson; José Rizal was a very intelligent Filipino that lived during the late 1800s. He was ultimately executed by the Spanish for the crime of rebellion; Rizal was a leading force and influence during the Philippine Revolution, that ultimately led to the Philippine Independence, on September 29, 1898.

José Rizal was born on June 19, 1861, in a original two-story Spanish colonial house in Calamba, Laguna. During WWII, Rizal's original house was destroyed, but was rebuilt at the same site on June 19, 1950. With Rizal's original belongings kept intact inside the shrine, visitors can roam the house freely. Original and relevant trivia are written on the walls and the rooms are carefully reconstructed and presented the way they used to be when José Rizal used to live there, in the late 1800s.
Rizal Shrine (calamba)
The shrine has a large lawn with a replica of a nipa hut Rizal used to play with his sisters in. Next to the hut is a statue of a young José Rizal, with his dog. This statue was constructed in 1996 for the centennial celebration commemorating Rizal's death.
Even though al of the rooms were carefully reconstructed the way they used to be back in the late 19th century, there's one feature of the house that is still from the original house. The old well, next to the dining room, has survived the World Wars, and has now become a 'wishing well' for the José Rizal Shrine's visitors. Noteworthy is also that about 20 meters away from the old 'wishing well', the remains of José Rizal's parents (Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonzo) are buried in the garden, next to a narra tree.
The house itself, which is really a typical 'bahay na bato' (literally meaning 'house of stone' in Tagalog); a typical upper-class house built during the Spanish colonial era, was designated as a National Shrine (Level 1) by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. Even though it's just a replica of the original house that got destroyed during WWII, it still holds a very special place in many Filipinos' hearts, and ever remains one of the most frequented historical sites in the Philippines.

The Rizal Shrine is in the middle of Calamba City and easily accessible along Mercado Street and Rizal Street. Another fact is that the Rizals where also known by their other surname 'Mercado', hence the site is located at the crossing of Mercado Street and Rizal Street.
The Rizal Shrine actually holds no entrance fee, but donations are accepted and appreciated. The house is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 8:30 am to 12:00 nn and 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm. One recommended hotel nearby (0.5 km) is the Dreamwave Resort Pansol Laguna.It is one of the most frequented historical and tourist sites in Laguna. An average of 270, 000 tourists visit this shrine annually.
It was already 3 in the afternoon when we got to Rizal Shrine. It was easy to go there because there are signs and people will help tourists to find the way. I have already gone to Rizal Shrine, during my grade school days and as far as I remember the color of the Shrine was white. But, as we got to the Shrine, I was shocked because of its color. It is already green! (Want to know why it was changed green? Click here.) I was a bit disappointed with the color because they changed the structure so much. I am happy with the people there, I saw kids playing, dancing and I heard by some of them they were going to join Showtime, a famous talent show in abs-cbn. For me, it was nice to unwind there because of its fresh air and green environment.

When we were already inside the house, in the first floor, there were the medals of Rizal. The house of Rizal is huge, because I know that Rizal came from a middle-class. The chandeliers were all like the same, in the room, dining, and living room. I was amazed with the kitchen of Rizal, it was really different. There were the pot, and woods used for cooking. In the bathroom, there was a big jar, and a big hole. It was not hot inside the house because the shrine was made of wood, the windows were open, so it was not hot inside. Going to the room, I saw the room of the parents of Rizal, there was a picture of them and also the ceiling it was like, already breaking. The house of Rizal was simple but elegant.
Going outside the shrine, there was the Nipa Hut, used as playground by Jose Rizal with his sisters. I also saw the original coat of Rizal, his novel Noli Metangere and El Filibusterismo. The original things of Rizal were all kept carefully. There was also a gallery at the outside the Shrine, (want to see some of the paintings? Click here.) It is entitled, Likhat Kathang Anak ng Calamba.
It is a previlegespecially to a foriegner like me tovisit the house of the national hero of the Philippines, Jose Rizal, for me to know whohe really is and to know the place where he molded as a child until he grew old.
The Rizal Shrine
When we arrived to the house of Jose Rizal the place was really ancient but i notice that some parts of it was already painted with new colors but still the totality of the house was still ancient and still you can picture out the time where Jose rizal was still young.
When we entered the house of Rizal, it was large. The things there was preserved for us to see the things they used before. It was a little bit dark, i didn't know the reason why it was a little dark. There were some trivias written on the table or wall for some trivias so that we could understand and we could knowabout the important things thatJose Rizal usedduring his time. when we went to second floor, the place was already light because the windows were wildly open. the rooms were so big for me, but i wasamazed becausethe things like beds, chairs, tables were really antique. The clothes also was out of fashion alreadybecause i dont see anyperson wearing that kind of clothes now a day. But for me, the clothesthat were displayed inside the house were beautiful and i think during thier time that kind of clothes were used for special occasions.
The pacing was a little bit fast, after we went to second floors and looked for the rooms, we went to the back and came out to the garden. the gras was so green. It only shows that the place were really special for all the Filipinos, there were also some rooms outside the house of JoseRizal. These rooms served as the extension of the house and become museum also. If youwere going to look around, the place was reallybig.It onlyshows that the Rizal family was richer that other Filipinos before.

Now, i understood that Jose Rizal had a big family. I also understood that Jose Rizal was very intelligent and had a smarter mind than those of his same age. That's why he used his intellgence to make a different, changed and save the Philippines from the spaniards.
Did you know that the original house of Jose Rizal was destroyed? It was destroyed during the World War II. With the help of the contributions from school children the house was reconstructed. President Elpidio Quirino tasked Architect Juan Nakpil to research about the design and build a house that is the same as the original house of Jose Rizal. On June 19, 1950 the house was inaugurated.
It was in that house that the boy (Jose Rizal) was shaped and molded and who would become the finest expression of his race.

According to the NHI, Although its woodwork and masonry are new, it occupies the same area and is made of the same materials as the original house of the Mercados. Its ground floor of lime and stone, its upper story of the best hardwood.
The only surviving feature of the Spanish-Colonial house is a deep well that has become a wishing well for tourists and visitors. Unknown to many, the parents of Jose Rizal (Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonzo) are buried near the narra tree about 20 meters away from the wishing well.
There were usually two to three sets of furniture. Here are caned seats and chairs with carved details marble-topped tables corner shelves and ceramic plant stands.There is no record of the actual furniture arrangement. The set-up was based on what people know about the houses in the old days.

When I saw the room, I said that it was too small for the sisters of Rizal, but I got to know that perhaps, not
