JOSE RIZAL: JACK THE RIPPER? Over a hundred persons were proposed as the assailant Jack the Ripper, one of them, our National hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. He was in East End of London at the time, the same time the murders started. The assailant stated in one of his letters that, "They say I'm a doctor now. ha. ha." ...and our National Hero is a doctor. The victims were women, mostly prostitutes. ...and we all know Rizal is a playboy. And what is the name behind the initials J.R.? Jack the Ripper or Jose Rizal? The killings stopped the same time Rizal left London. Could he be JACK THE RIPPER? Anyway this is just an Urban legend. You may believe. You may not believe. You can do your own research.
