TodayInHistory Today is the 156th birth anniversary of Leonor Rivera, the inspiration behind the character of Maria Clara in Jose Rizal's 'Noli me Tangere.” READ:
To a nation awed and intrigued by Rizal’s love life, the Kipping family is not typical. Its members are direct descendants of Leonor Rivera, who had been immortalized in Philippine history as the true love of the national hero.
As they stay in the ancestral home, there was much of “LRK” in their growing years. They lived with, and actually used, what could have been “museum pieces.”When the old house was renovated, Kipping said her father, the late Dr. Carlos Kipping Jr., decided to build a small museum in a corner of their yard to keep all of Rivera’s memorabilia. He called it the “Maria Clara Museum,” in honor of the lead woman character in Rizal’s novel, “Noli me Tangere,” whose inspiration was drawn from Rivera.
Rivera’s eldest child, Carlos Kipping Sr., married Lourdes Romulo, a sister of Filipino diplomat Carlos P. Romulo. Carlos Sr. and Lourdes Kipping bore two daughters and a son, Carlos Jr., father of Dr. Ilou Kipping.
