Jose Protacio Rizal's last name is actually Mercado (or I think that's it) But he changed it into Rizal because the family name Mercado belonged to two priests who were executed in the Philippines when it was Under Spanish Rule. SO if he used that surname, he would not be able to enter The school (I Forgot which one). So he changed his last name...
