Marina Dizon and Jose Turiano Santiago are my grandparents. One of their children was my late mother, Luz Dizon Santiago y Bleza. Knowing by heart that my forefathers were revolutionarios, I enthusiastically read your page and everything said in your write-up was great. I was told by my mother when she was yet alive that my Grandpa, Jose Turiano Santiago, was one of the 13martyrs shot in Cavite. It was mentioned everywhere that he was, except that your subtitle "Thirteen Martyrs" did not include the name of my Grandfather. How did it happen? More power, Genoveva Santiago Bleza

Jose Turiano Santiago indeed was a Filipino hero Genoveva but he did not die in cavite in 1896 according to my records. Jose Dizon, his father in law did. Jose Turiano Santiago was a member of the Katipunan, got arrested and exiled by the Spanish government to Canary Islands in 1897. He rejoined the fight for freedom during the second phase of the Revolution in 1898.

From 1902 to 1904, he worked as cashier, assistant manager, and general manager of the Abreu, Newbury and Reyes Office. Thereafter, he worked as accountant and secretary of the Globe Drug Store from 1917 to 1924.

In 1924, he finally became a full-fledged accountant by acquiring his certificate in public accountancy. He then served as auditor for various companies in Manila.

During the late 1920’s, the National Library appointed him president of a committee composed of several former Katipuneros tasked to investigate the veracity of the papers of erstwhile Katipunan member Colonel Pedro Cortes. Among other things, the papers alleged that Teodoro Patiño divulged the secret society’s existence in a confession to Fr. Mariano Gil, and that the latter, in turn, reported it to the authorities, thereby breaking the sanctity of the confessional.

However, Santiago denied these allegations, stating officially that it was Bonifacio himself who allegedly ordered Patiño to divulge the Katipunan’s existence to the said priest, to hasten the revolution.

Jose Turiano Santiago died during the Japanese occupation, probably in 1942.

With all do respect to your ancester
