PACIANO RIZAL
Paciano Rizal was the only brother of Jose Rizal. Although far from Europe at the height of the propaganda movement, Paciano, supported it by collecting contributions to finance the movement. He also supported the Katipunan by propagating its ideals and recruiting members in Laguna. In 1896, Paciano was arrested and tortured because he refused to sign incriminating documents that could implicate his brother to the revolution.
After his brother was executed in December 1896, Paciano went to Imus, Cavite and offered his services to General Emilio Aguinaldo. He was appointed brigadier general of the Revolutionary Army and was elected secretary of finance in the Department Government of Central Luzon.
