 Jose Rizal
Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines. He played an
important part in what our country became today. One of the
biggest challenges of his journey is his exile in Dapitan.
 Reasons why rizal was
expiled in dapitan
Rizal had published books and articles abroad which showed disloyalty to
Spain and which were "frankly anti-Catholic" and "imprudently anti-friar".

A few hours after his arrival in Manila "there was found in one of the
packages a bundle of handbills entitled Pobres Frailes in which the patient
and humble generosity of Filipino is satirized, and which accusation is
published against the customs of religious orders".
 Reasons why rizal was
expiled in dapitan
His novel El Filibusterismo was dedicated to the memory of three "traitors"
(Burgos, Gomez, and Zamora), and on the title page he wrote that in view of
the vices and errors of the Spanish administration, "the only salvation for
the Philippines was separation from the mother country".

"The end he pursues in his efforts and writings is to tear from the loyal
Filipino breasts the treasures of our Catholic Faith".
 Beginning of Exile in
Dapitan
Rizal was brought under a maximum security to the
steamer S.S. Cebu headed by Capt. Delgras on the 15th of
July, 1892, which sailed to Dapitan.

Rizal carried a letter from Father Pablo Pastells to Father

Antonio Obach, both Jesuit figures. The letter outlined
conditions for Rizal to reside at the Dapitan convent.
 Conditions
"That Rizal publicity retract his errors concerning religion, and
make statements that were pro-Spanish and against the
revolution".

"That he perform the church rites and make a general confession

of his past life".

"That henceforth he conduct himself in an exemplary manner as a

Spanish subject and a man of religion".
 “
However, Rizal did not
agree...
“
 Instead
He lived in the house of the commandant, Captain Carnicero.

 Rizal's idyllic life in
Dapitan
Rizal built a house by the seashore of Talisay surrounded by fruit
trees, a school for boys, and a hospital for his patients.

Among his family members who visited Rizal were:

1. His mother
2. His sisters Trinidad, Maria and Narcisa
3. Nephews Teodosio, Estanislao, Mauricio and Prudencio
 Friar’s Spy
In early November 1893, Rizal enjoyed a peaceful life in Talisay
near Dapitan with his family. However, his tranquility was
disrupted when a friar spy, using the alias "Pablo Mercado," visited
him on the night of November 3, 1893, claiming friendship and
kinship by presenting a photo of Rizal and buttons with the initials
"P.M."
 During his stay in Dapitan, Jose Rizal was involved in various
activities and occupations, showcasing his versatility and
commitment to contributing meaningfully to different endeavors
within the community.
 “My Retreat”
Upon restoring her eyesight, Dona Teodora returned to Manila.
Seeing how busy Rizal is, she regretted neglecting her muses. She
requested Rizal to write poetry. As a response, Rizal wrote "Mi
Retiro" relating his serene life as an exile in Dapitan.
 Rizal’s Love
The death of Leonor Rivera left a poignant void in Rizal's heart. In his
loneliness, he met Josephine...

Irish girl
born in Hong Kong.
James Bracken and Elizabeth Jane MacBride - Josephine's
parents who are both Irish in citizenship.
Was adopted by Mr, George Taufer

Josephine Bracken
 Rizal’s Love
Manuela Orlac, a Filipino companion, accompanied Josephine
Bracken to Dapitan.
Rizal and Josephine Bracken chose to marry, but Father Obach
declined to officiate the marriage without the permission of the
Bishop of Cebu.
Upon learning about the intended marriage and being unable to
bear the idea of losing Josephine, Mr. Taufer attempted suicide by
slashing his throat with a razor. However, Rizal managed to
intervene and prevent this tragic act.
