Concept/Digest

Arrival in Dapitan

Aboard the steamer Cebu and under heavy guard, Rizal left Manila,

sailing to Mindoro and Panay, until he reached Dapitan at seven o'clock in the
evening of June 17. From that day until July 31, 1896, Dapitan became the
bare witness to one of the most fruitful periods in Rizal's life. His stay in the
province was more than “he” living in exile – it was the period when Rizal had
been more focused on serving the people and the society through his civic
works, medical practices, land development and promotion of education.

During the early part of his exile in Dapitan, Rizal lived at the
commandant’s residence. With his prize from the Manila Lottery and his
earnings as a farmer and a merchant, he bought a piece of land near the shore
of Talisay near Dapitan. On this land, he built three houses- all made of
bamboo, wood, and nipa. The first house which was square in shape was his
home. The second house was the living quarters of his pupils. And the third
house was the barn where he kept his chickens. The second house had eight
sides, while the third had six sides.

Challenging the Religion

In Dapitan, Rizal had a scholarly debate with Father Pablo

Pastells regarding religion. This exchange of heated arguments revealed the
anti-Christian Rizal – his bitterness on the abuses performed by friars, doing
such under the name of the sacred religion. Father Pastells tried his best to win
Rizal back to the faith but fortunately or unfortunately, in vain. These series of
debate ended inconclusively in which neither of them convinced the other of
his judgments/arguments.
