Teodora Alonzo, mother of Jose Rizal, was the perfect Roseñan icon, says historian

"Teodora Alonzo, Carmen Planas and the rest of the alumnae who passed through the halls of Colegio de Sta. Rosa I believe that they have received the formation of Christian conscience. And this is the main apostolate of all Catholic Christian schools," said historian Fr. Emilio Quilatan, OAR.

The school, located in front of the Plaza de Sto. Tomas, is an educational institution established in the year 1750. "The red rose symbolizes passion, love, devotion, and sacrifice. That is the biblical symbolism of the red rose," said Quilatan. The symbol of the school, the legacy given by its foundress Mother Paula dela Santissima Trinidad to all the students, reflects the attributes of the rare flower.

When she was freed, Doña Teodora was able to extend her love for her children and guide them until her death in 1911.
