— Four days after the civic organization's foundation, Jose
Rizal was arrested by the Spanish authorities on four
grounds:
1. for publishing anti-Catholic and anti-friar books and articles;

2. for having in possession a bundle of handbills, the Pobres Frailes,

in which advocacies were in violation of the Spanish orders;

3. for dedicating his novel, El Filibusterismo to the three “traitors”

(Gomez, Burgos and Zamora) and for emphasizing on the novel's
title page that “the only salvation for the Philippines was separation
from the mother country (referring to Spain)”; and

4. for simply criticizing the religion and aiming for its exclusion from
the Filipino culture.
Arrival in Dapitan
— July 17, 1892 - Rizal, together with his
guard Captain Ricardo Carnicero,
arrived in Dapitan.
— 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.
— Rizal was give the choice to live in the
house of Fr. Obach or at Canicero's house
He could live in the house of
parish priest only if :

he publicly retracted his Masonic and

antichurch beliefs
he regularly participate his church rites
he conduct himself as a good Spanish
subject and a man of religion
01 Both men betted on the lottery and
won 20,000 pesos.

02
He use his money to build an
octagonal house made up of bamboo
and nipa in Talisay.

03
Rizal built a school and accepted
students with no tuition fee. The other
part was used for his eye clinic.
As a physician, Rizal provided free
medicine to his patients, most of them
were underprivileged.
His skill was put into test in August 1893
when his mother, Doña Teodora Alonzo,
was placed under opthalmic surgery for
the third time. The operation was a
success, however, Alonzo, ignored her
son's instructions and removed the
bandages in her eyes which lead to
irritation and infection.
May 14, 1893 - Carnicero was
replaced by Captain Juan Sitges.
He did not want living with a
deportee. He assigned Rizal to live in
a house near the headquarters.
The Jesuits sent his old professor at
the Ateneo, Fr. Francisco de Paula
Sanchez - to entice him back to the
church.
ROMANTIC AFFAIR WITH
JOSEPHINE BRACKEN
This girl was the 18-year old Josephine Bracken
. From Hongkong, she arrived in Dapitan in
February, 1895 with his blind foster father,
George Taufer, and a Filipina named Manuela
Orlac.
Rizal and Josephine tried to have themselves
married in Catholic rites but Fr. Orbach
required that Rizal retract his beliefs.
The couple had a child, Francísco Rizal y
Bracken, who was stillborn and only lived for a
few hours.
KATIPUNAN SEEK RIZAL'S ADVICE
The Katipunan leader, Andres Bonifacio,
seek the advise of Jose Rizal. In a secret
meeting on May 2, 1896 at Bitukang
Manok river in Pasig, the group agreed to
send Dr. Pio Valenzuela as a
representative to Dapitan who will inform
Rizal of their plan to launch a revolution
against the Spaniards.
Regarding this, Rizal outspokenly objected
Bonifacio's “premature” idea for two
reasons:
The Filipinos were still unready for
such bloody revolution; and
The Katipunan lacked machinery –
before plotting a revolution, there
must be sufficient arms and funds
collected.
ADIOS DAPITAN
When Cuba was under revolution and raging yellow epidemic, Rizal wrote to Governor General
Ramon Blanco , offering the service as military doctor.
Gov. General Ramon Blanco approved the request of Rizal on July 1, 1896.
At midnight of July 31, 1896, Jose Rizal left Dapitan on board the steamer España
The townspeople of Dapitan wept and were at the shore to see the departure of their beloved
doctor.
He stayed in Dapitan for 4 years, thirteen days and a few hours.
August 6, 1896 - upon arriving in Manila Bay, Rizal was not able to leave immediately for Spain
since the vessel Isla de Luzon, already left
August 26, 1896 – Bonifacio and Katipunan raised the Cry of Revolution (Sigaw sa Pugadalawin)
in the hills of Balintawak.
August 19, 1896, Katipunan was already discovered and the Philippine Revolution was already
raging.
Rizal received letters from Governor General Blanco which absolved him from all the blame for
the raging revolution.
He transferred to Isla de Panay which was saailing to Barcelona Spain
