1. Jose rizal farm (designated historic site in Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines.)
When Dr. Jose Rizal was deported to Dapitan in Mindanao from 1892-1896 by the Spanish
government, aside from spending some time in teaching the town folks, he also engaged in
medical practice through which he was able to cure the eye ailment of Calixto Carreon. The
story said that Calixto offered Dr. Rizal the 40-hectare land as a way to repay him. On the other
hand, Dr. Rizal accepted Calixto's offer with an additional payment of two-hundred pesos. In
order to keep the farm under proper management, Dr. Rizal designated one of his sisters,
Trinidad, to look after the farm. After several years, Trinidad passed the farm's management to
Fernando Eguía, one of Dr. Rizal's students.A marker was installed in the area by the National
Historical Institute (NHI) which states that Trinidad sold the land to Crisostomo Eguía Sr., son of
Fernando. It was agreed right there and then after the sale that the land would still be registered
under the name of Dr. Rizal. Other siblings of Dr. Rizal also witnessed such agreement.

At present days, the farm is under the care of the children of Crisostomo Eguia Sr. On a
positive note, Director Mary June Bugante of the Department of Tourism Region 9 said her
office is constantly in touch with Eguia Family to encourage them to transform the farm into a
duly recognized tourist destination.

2. The José Rizal Memorial Protected Landscape,( also known as the Rizal Park and Shrine, is
a protected landscape and memorial to the Philippines' national hero located in the city of
Dapitan on the island of Mindanao.) - The 16-hectare (40-acre) estate in Talisay was purchased
by Rizal for P4,000 after winning the Reales Loterías Españolas de Filipinas (English: Royal
Spanish Lottery of the Philippines) two months after arriving in Dapitan.[1][4] Rizal built houses
in the site, started a farm, put up a school for boys, and built a hospital where he could practice
medicine and treat the poor for free.[1] For four years, he worked as a rural physician, farmer,
merchant, inventor, painter, sculptor, archaeologist, linguist, teacher, architect, poet, biologist
and environmentalist.[4] His mother, Teodora Alonso, sisters and other relatives would later on
come to live with him in the farm. In 1897, after Rizal was executed, these properties were
confiscated by the Spanish colonial government as indemnity to the state and transferred to the
custody of Don Cosme Borromeo.[4] The site was then converted into a public park in 1913 with
the structures built by Rizal reconstructed on their original sites.

3. Rizal, Cagayan-(Rizal, officially the Municipality of Rizal, is a 5th class municipality in the
province of Cagayan, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 17,994
people)-Spanish regime

Malaueg church
The incorporation of the town was dated early 1500s during the Spanish era in the
Philippines. At that time, the town was called "Malaueg". Spanish friars were converting the
people to Christians. They became thirsty because of the unbearable heat of the sun and the
mountainous terrain. Then one of the Malaueg people gave some water to them. The friar asked
where the water came from and the man who gave the water uttered the word "ueg" that means
fresh water. Then this friar had experienced a stomach pain that led him say "malo" which
means bad. The word then finally combined and called as "MALO-UEG" that means bad
brook.[dubious – discuss] The name became permanently until 1903 when the town was
renamed in the honor of the Philippine National Hero Dr. José Rizal. During the Spanish regime,
the town was said to be the rest spots of the Spanish Authorities, friars and some locals,
because of its cool environmental climate. Malaueg people build the largest stone convents for
the friars, some nipa hut houses for Spanish Authorities and some ordinary houses for the
locals. Malaueg became a center of Christianity next to Nueva Segovia after the Malaueg
Church was built.

American period
During the American occupation of the Philippines, the town of Malaueg was also a favorite
spot for the Americans. During the Spanish–American War, the town was almost destroyed
when the soldiers used its towering mountains to hide their ammunition and dug some trenches.
The Authorities were very protective of the condition of the church during war.
The town before had two municipalities, namely: Mauanan and Malaueg. The barrios on the
western and northern part belonged to the municipality of Malaueg, while the barrios on the
eastern part belonged to the municipality of Mauanan, where the seat of two municipal
governments was established (Philippine Commission; Act nos. 943,944, 1903). Act no. 2390
changed the names of the municipalities of Santo Nino and Mauanan.
The names of the municipalities of Santo Nino and Mauanan were changed to Faire and
Rizal respectively. Mauanan was named Rizal in the year 1914 and the sitios of Lattut,
Capacuaan and Macatal were annexed from Rippang in 1933, under executive Order No. 690
dated March 28, 1935.
Japanese occupation
During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II, the town was largely
destroyed in bombing attacks. The town also became one of the centers of resistance in the
Philippines because of its forested areas that served as a hideout.

and promote research and extension services, advanced studies and progressive leadership in
education, agriculture, arts and sciences, engineering and other fields. Itsmain campus is
located in Dapitan. It became a university in 2010 by virtue of Republic Act 9852.) - Jose Rizal
Memorial State University was established by virtue of RA 9852 with Congresswoman Cecilia
G. Jalosjos-Carreon as principal author, Congressman Cesar Jalosjos as co-author. It was
approved by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on December 15, 2009. It was formerly the
Jose Rizal Memorial State College by virtue of RA 8193 sponsored by Congressman Romeo G.
Jalosjos of the 1st District of Zamboanga del Norte which was approved on June 11, 1996, by
the President of the Republic, Fidel V. Ramos. It was a consolidation of the Rizal Memorial
Vocational School (RMNVS) in Dapitan City, the Zamboanga del Norte School of Arts and
Trades (ZNSAT - formed in 1961) in Dipolog City, and the Siocon National Vocational School
(SNVS) in the Municipality of Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte. In 2002, two higher education
institutions (HEIs) within Zamboanga del Norte, namely the Katipunan National Agricultural
School (KNAS) in the municipality of Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte and the Zamboanga del
Norte Agricultural College (ZNAC) in the Municipality of Tampilisan, Zamboanga del Norte, were
integrated into then JRMSC pursuant to CHED Memorandum Order No. 27 series of 2000 thus
comprising the fourth and fifth campuses, respectively of JRMSU.

The first president was Dr. Felipe O. Ligan, who was appointed in 1997. On June 7, 2002,
CHED Special Order No. 35, s. 2002 appointed Dr. Henry A. Sojor as the OIC President of the
Jose Rizal Memorial State College in concurrent capacity as president of Central Visayas
Polytechnic College in Dumaguete City, now Negros Oriental State University.
 In the span of two years and eight months, the board of trustees then deemed it best for the
college to have its permanent leader. Thus, on March 1, 2005, Dr. Edgar S. Balbuena assumed
office as second president of JRMSC pursuant to BOT Resolution No. 04, series of 2005
chaired by Fr. Rolando V. Rosa, OP. With the appointment of Dr. Balbuena, the college charted
a new course. With his extraordinary leadership it took only four years and nine months for the
college to be elevated to the status of a university. Indeed, the growth of the university means a
continuing and growing commitment for academic excellence and quality, research, and
productivity, community involvement and partnership for national development and global
competitiveness. Evidently, he emerged as a dynamo, leading the people of Zamboanga del
Norte and adjacent provinces towards improved quality life.

The execution of Jose Rizal on December 30, 1896

The bronze-and-granite Rizal monument is among the most famous sculptural landmarks in
the country. It is almost protocol for visiting dignitaries to lay a wreath at the monument. Located
on the monument is not merely the statue of Rizal, but also his remains.
On September 28, 1901, the United States Philippine Commission approved Act No. 243,
which would erect a monument in Luneta to commemorate the memory of José Rizal, Filipino
patriot, writer and poet. The committee formed by the act held an international design
competition between 1905 and 1907 and invited sculptors from Europe and the United States to
submit entries with an estimated cost of ₱100,000 using local materials.
The first-prize winner was Carlos Nicoli of Carrara, Italy for his scaled plaster model titled “Al
Martir de Bagumbayan” (To the Martyr of Bagumbayan) besting 40 other accepted entries. The
contract though, was awarded to second-placer Swiss sculptor named Richard Kissling for his
“Motto Stella”
After more than twelve years of its approval, the shrine was finally unveiled on December 30,
1913 during Rizal's 17th death anniversary. His poem "Mi Ultimo Adios" ("My Last Farewell") is
inscribed on the memorial plaque. The site is continuously guarded by ceremonial soldiers of
Philippine Marine Corps’ Marine Security and Escort Group

10. Rizal avenue - also known as Avenida or Avenida Rizal is one of Manila's main
thoroughfares. Named after the national hero José Rizal, it is a part of Radial Road 9 (R-9). The
LRTA's Line 1 elevated railroad is built above the street in its entire length, and several
jeepneys ply the area taking passengers from Caloocan and Quezon City. Most of the street is
within the Sta. Cruz. By the 1960s, economic activities shifted from Binondo to Makati.
The Avenida Rizal was created by Manila City ordinance in 1911 from two streets – Calle
Dulumbayan (literally the edge of town) and Calle Salcedo. It also called Calle Cervantes. It
lengthened in the next two decades all the way up to Caloocan and the then new monument
honoring Andres Bonifacio. It became the city's longest street before being overshadowed by
EDSA later in the century. Prior to and right after World War II, the avenue was center of the
city's social life, with the street lined with shops, restaurants and movie theaters. The theaters
were designed by the prominent architects of the day, many of whom would become National
Artists.
Two National Artists for architecture, Pablo Antonio and Juan Nakpil, created several of the
movie theaters along the avenue. Antonio designed the Galaxy, the Ideal, the Scala and the
Lyric theaters, while Nakpil designed the Capitol, the Ever and the Avenue theaters. As the
years went by, the area was victimized by urban renewal.
By the 1960s, economic activities shifted from the downtown area of Manila to Makati. The
exodus of business and the rich residents from Manila to the suburbs coupled by the increase in
low skilled rural migrants looking for work opportunities led to the deterioration of the old
business districts, including Rizal Avenue. The construction of Line 1 in the 1980s, which
required the closure of Rizal Avenue to vehicular traffic, essentially killed business along the
route. The cinemas themselves resorted to showing double feature B-movies and soft porn, as
people transferred to the newer and more modern Ortigas Center and the Ayala Center.
In 2000, during the mayorship of Lito Atienza, the stretch from C.M. Recto Avenue to
Palanca Street was turned into a pedestrian-only thoroughfare by laying bricks on the road, with
the buildings and the Line 1 painted as part of an urban renewal project. This caused vehicles to
use the secondary roads such as Tomas Mapua and Doroteo Jose Streets in order to go to and
from Plaza Lacson. The Ideal Theater was previously demolished, the Galaxy, Scala and Lyric
theaters are now misused. The first level of the Ever Theater is occupied by stalls, while the
upper levels are abandoned. Only the refurbished Capitol Theater, now a dimsum palace,
survived the modern times and is still active. The pedestrianization of Rizal Avenue was
completed on 2003 and was meant to only last for a short time but it has persisted until 2008.
The Avenue Theater, which survived the Battle of Manila of 1945, was demolished in 2006 to
give way to a parking area. The costs of maintaining the facility were too high, as compared for
it to be converted as a parking area. The National Historical Institute (NHI) and several private
entities tried to prevent the building from being torn down.
One of Mayor Alfredo Lim 's first decisions after winning the elections of 2007 was to reopen
the pedestrian-only section of Rizal Avenue, which has elicited complaints from shopkeepers
due to decreased traffic of people, and from commuters which caused traffic jams on secondary
streets. Since the cost of the tiles for the pedestrianization was about P40 each, the tiles had
been carefully removed for it to be used in future projects. On July 17, 2007, Lim attended the
ceremony reopening the closed portion of Rizal Avenue, and it has remained open to this day.
