Love story of Jose Rizal and Leonor Valenzuela.
JOSE RIZAL – Here’s the whirlwind romance of Jose Rizal and Leonor “Orang” Valenzuela along with their invisible love letters.
Leonor “Orang” Valenzuela is one of the women who caught the attention of our “lover boy” and national hero Jose Rizal. He was called “lover boy” because of the long list of women who got romantically associated with him and one of them is Orang.
Orang was 14 years old when he met Rizal who was a sophomore then in University Of Santo Tomas taking up a medical course. He is a boarder in the house of Doña Concha Leyva in Intramuros and the family next door is the Valenzuela Family.
Capitan Juan and Capitana Sanday Valenzuela has a daughter and that Leonor “Orang” Valenzuela who captured Rizal because of her impressive height which comes along with great grace and elegance. Rizal is always visiting their home even without any special occasions. He is always welcomed because he was then well-known because of his clever sleight-of-hand tricks.
Drawn with Orang, he pursued her and would always send her love letters with invisible ink used for writing which can only be read if it would be heated over a candle or a lamp. He used a mixture of some substances which he learned from his chemistry where he can write without leaving any trace unless it would be put under heat.
However, just like what happened to Segunda, he failed to ask her for marriage. Moreover, there were rumors before that at that time, he is also pursuing Leonor Rivera which is why they are exchanging love notes through an invisible ink.
