RIZAL's Home in Dapitan City

This is the place where Dr. Jose Rizal lived in Dapitan City. (1892-1896)
He was exiled here because of the following Reasons:

1. Rizal had published books and articles abroad which showed disloyalty to spain and which were "Frankly anti-Catholic" and "Imprudently anti-Friar".

2. A few hours after 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.

3. His Novel El Filibusterismo was dedicated to the three "traitors" (Burgos, Gomez, 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 the separtion form the mother country".

4. the end he pursues in his efforts and writings is to tear from the loyal Filipino Breasts the treasures of our Catholic Faith.

the historic place in dapitan city will make you feel nationalistic. in fact, it reminds us on how to be heroic in our own. Jose Rizal as known to be the Philippine National Hero. If I would be given a chance to say this to him I would thank him. Because without him, The Philippines will still be depending on the spanish Government. we are now being set free and we have freedom now. If filipino could unite to one another. the Philippines will be not juts successful but a beautiful and a loveable country.
