✓Ambassador Leon Ma. Guerrero
I am the only Rizal because at home my parents,
my sisters, my brother, and my relatives have
always preferred our old surname Mercado. Our
family name was in fact Mercado, but there were
many Mercados in the Philippines who are not
related to us. It is said that an alcalde mayor,
who was a friend of our family added Rizal to
our name. My family did not pay much attention
to this, but now I have to use it. In this way, it
seems that I am an illegitimate son. said by rizal in?
