Rizal's exile in Dapitan
Rizal's exile in Dapitan
Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1892, feeling he needed to be in the country to effect change. Although the reform society he founded, the Liga Filipino (Philippine League), supported non-violent action, Rizal was still exiled to Dapitan, on the island of Mindanao. During the four years Rizal was in exile, he practiced medicine and took on students.
Dr. Jose Rizal’s exile to Dapitan gave him much freedom and opportunity to live as a model citizen and serve the people of Dapitan better by constructing the famous Linao Spring; putting up a school for boys in Talisay; plotting the relief map of Mindanao at St. James Church in Dapitan; teaching the farmers and fishermen the modern method of farming and fishing and giving them medical assistance

Facts on Dr. Rizal's execution
Dr. Rizal was executed on December 30, 1896
The firing squad is composed of 8 native Filipino soldiers who executed Rizal at Bagumbayan field.
Rizal was not shot once but twice. Moreover, only one gun was loaded with bullets, while the others were blank to ease the guilt of those soldiers who were forced to shoot Rizal.
Jose Rizal stuffed his pockets and shoes with papers that are believed to be letters because he thought that his body would be delivered to his family, but instead, it was dumped in a dug-up hole in Paco Cemetery without a proper burial.
When Rizal was shot, he died facing up to symbolize his innocence because it was believed before there was a saying that those who die on death row died facing down, not ever seeing the light because of the guilt of their actions.
Before the day of his death, he secretly wrote letters to his family and his dearest friend Blumentritt to say his goodbyes. It was believed to be transported using a compartment inside an alcohol lamp.
