FROM DAPITAN TO MANILA

 July 30, 1896

Governor-General Ramon Blanco gave permission to Jose

Rizal to travel to Cuba as a doctor in the Spanish army; an
opportunity he never did get to experience. Rizal’s request, along
with the approval, has been erroneously used for decades to
promote the vulgar Marxist interpretation of Rizal as pro-Spanish.

revolution and the raging battles around Manila.
