He visited the place in March 7, 1892 and negotiated with theBritish authorities in charge of the North Borneo Company

were delighted upon hearing the plan and expressed their support

to the endeavor.

Manuel Hidalgo   Rizal’s brother-in-law who was not in favor of the project.

Governor Eulogio

Despujol

with his leadership in the country on December 23, 1891.

  No response to his letter, Rizal wrote another one on March 21,

1892.

8/10/2019 Chapter+18-20

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter18-20 7/13

  Rizal’s former teacher at Ateneo Municipal.

Rizal’s teaching method    Learning was related to the actual situations in Dapitan particularly

in Talisay.

  Included involvement in community development as part o the

curriculum of the school he established in the area.

As a Doctor… 

 

Rizal practiced his profession in his new home and had numerouspatients.

  Offered his services free for those who were financially incapable of

paying a doctor, many sick people started consulting him.

Dona Teodora   Came on August 1893, she traveled to Dapitan with Trining to have

her eyes operated by Rizal.

Trade and Commerce   Rizal organized an association of farmers to improve farm

production and generate higher income.

  Encouraged the residents of the town to engage in the buying and

selling of goods and products particularly copra and hemp.

fishermen from Calamba to teach the townsmen of Dapitan newmethods of fishing.

Sarda’s Book    Triggered the debate between Rizal and Fr. Pastells about religion

  Sent by Fr. Pastells with the advice that Rizal had to abstain from

his foolishness of viewing religion from the prism of individual

 judgment and self-esteem.

Fr. Pastells   Was 41 when Rizal was 31.

  Superior or the highest ranking Jesuit in the Philippines

  His purpose was to bring back Rizal to the fold of Catholic faith, but

Rizal wanted to know if he could go back to his old faith without

violence to his conscience and convictions.

 

His exchange of correspondence with Rizal was marked by mutualcordiality and respect.

Main arguments of Rizal

and Fr. Pastells

  Rizal

Rejects faith and upholds reason as the sole norm of

knowledge.

Believes in God by reason, not by faith and rejects the

Christian revelation running counter to reason:

 

The Bible as a mere classical writing

 

Miracles are impossible

 

Christ is merely a great man

 

Church is the best religious bodies but not divine

Believes in God’s living revelation of nature. 

 

Pastells

Counters reason, damaged by its original sin, must be

supported by faith; that revelation is verified by prophecies

and miracle

His argument is from authority: the church, which

prophesies dogmas, is worthy of belief as it is a divine

institution founded by Jesus Christ who proved himself as

God’s son by miracles and rising from the dead.

Elements of Rizal’s

rationalist rhetoric on

religion

  The primacy of conscience

  A firm belief in God

  Boundless trust in the Divine Providence

  The profound experience of God as a loving Father

  A sense of mission

 

Strength of conviction  Daily recourse to prayer

  An openness to dialogue

Ending of the debate   Was a stalemate.

Josephine Leopoldine

Bracken

  Traveled from Hong Kong with her uncle, Mr. Tauffer , who was

suffering from an eye ailment.

  She and her uncle had an invitation card from Julio Llorenta

  Was 19 year old and was so beautiful and possessing all the

enticement of womanhood

  Rizal saw in her the qualities which made him attracted to Nelly

Boustead and fell in love with her.

 

Rumors spread that she was not the adopted daughter of Mr.Tauffer but a café singer in a Hong Kong restaurant.

  Fifth and youngest child of an Irish schoolmaster in the Pembroke

Detachment at the Victoria Barracks in Hong Kong.

  When her mother died giving birth to her, she was given to Tauffers

  The third wife of Mr. Tauffer hated her so much, she decided to live

in a convent, but later Mr. Tauffer begged her to return because his

current wife was starving him.

  Rizal’s family did not trust her especially her sisters, who thought

that she was an emissary of the friars with evil plans and asked Rizal

not to eat any food that she might have prepared without having

Josephine taste it first.  Rizal accepted her despite her sisters’ warning and asked her to be

his life partner.

  When she took refuge in the house of Rizal’s mother, she was a

total stranger to his family, but they accepted her because Rizal

loved her and welcomed her as Rizal’s fiancée, but a month after,

Josephine was back in Dapitan with Rizal.

  She made Rizal’s life bearable in Dapitan. 

Mr. Tauffer   Treated Josephine like she was his own daughter.

  Rizal asked his permission to marry Josephine but instead of being

happy he raged in fury.

  Lose hope of regaining his eyesight despite the fact that Rizal was

able to regain a little eyesight.

  Did not want Josephine to marry because she was the only one he

had left to him in this world.

  Seized a razor to slash his throat either because he was doomed to

blindness or parental selfishness.

  Rizal was able to prevent him from killing himself.

  Left Dapitan and insisted that Josephine accompany him, but she

8/10/2019 Chapter+18-20

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter18-20 9/13

later took refuge in Rizal’s mother’s house with a letter of

introduction from Rizal.

Father Obach   Rizal experienced difficulties with him, who insisted that a

retraction was necessary before any marriage between Rizal and

Josephine.

 

Referred the matter of Rizal’s marriage to the Bishop of Cebu After Marriage   Josephine delivered prematurely a baby boy who died a few hours

after birth, which was a consequence of a quarrel with Rizal.

  Josephine decided to leave for Hong Kong via Manila

  When she came back Rizal was irritated by her return but because

he loved her so much he welcomed her back with open arms.

Hymn to Talisay   A poem which he intended to be a collage song for the pupils he

was teaching in Talisay.

  Was used as evidence against him at his trail

Mi Retiro or My Retreat   Portrays his serene life in his place of rustication

  Wrote the poem in response to his mother’s request that he should

revive his interest in poetry writing.  Expressed his acceptance of his fate for he believed that justice

would prevail in the end

As a Exile   Did not forget his high sense of honor

  Evidenced by his constant reminders to his pupils of the importance

of good conduct and behavior.

Juan Sitges   Military commander that replaced Carnicero

  Restricted his exercise of freedom he enjoyed during Carnicero’s

time.

  Under him we can see Rizal demonstrating the values of obedience,

self-control and discipline.

Chapter 20: Rizal and the Revolution of 1896

Carnicero   The politico-military commander of Dapitan sympathized with Rizal

and assured him of possible support from his friends in Madrid.

Despujol   Aware that Rizal came to love Dapitan and that Rizal and Carnicero

became good friends.

  Directed Carnicero to convince Rizal to put down into writing his

intention of staying in Dapitan.

  On October 25, 1892, Rizal sent a letter to him that stated his

intention of staying in Dapitan to devote himself in agriculture

provided he would be given full freedom with assurance that he

would not abuse the same.

  Turned down Rizal’s appeal for lifting his banishment order. 

  Rizal threatened him that he would be writing his friends in Madrid

of the banishment order should not be lifted.

  He responded by ordering Carnicero to ensure no letters from Rizal

will reach their destination.

Federico Ochando  

Replaced Despujol on May 24, 1893

Juan Stiges   Replaced Carnicero as the politico-military commander of Dapitan.

  Rumors spread that he was ordered by Ochando to shoot Rizal the

moment he attempts to escape.

  Required Rizal to report to his office thrice a day

  Prohibited Rizal to leave the town or walk beyond the streets of

Dapitan without his permission.

Ramon Blanco   Replaced the short-lived term of Ochando and took over as

governor general.

  Reiterated his appeal for the lifting of his deportation order because

there was no evidence to support the charges imputed on him.

 

Rizal sent a letter of reconsideration of his situation to him on

February 13, 1894, but could not reply to Rizal because of his

involvement in the Muslim campaign.

  Visited Dapitan and called for Rizal on board his vessel.

  Promised Rizal that he would be relocated either at Vigan or La

Union and even suggested that he should go to Spain owing to his

poor health, which made Rizal quite happy.

February 1895   When Rizal sought the permission of Blanco in opening an

agricultural settlement at Sindangan Bay, but did not receive a

reply.

Jesuits   Tried to win Rizal back to the fold of the Church.

Fr. Obach  

The parish priest of Dapitan (Failed)

Fr. Villaclara   The Parish priest of Dipolog (Failed)

Fr. Sanchez   Former teacher at Ateneo (Failed)

Fr. Pablo Pastells   Superior of the Jesuit Order

  Sent Rizal a serried of letters convincing Rizal of the flaws of his

religious views which led to his debate with Rizal.

  Their debated ended in a stalemate.

8/10/2019 Chapter+18-20

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter18-20 11/13

Fr. Juan Ricart   Attributed to the failure of the Jesuits could be attributed to

Carnicero, who entertained Rizal’s political and religious views. 

Arrival of Josephine

Bracken

  Rizal request Fr. Obach to officiate a church wedding to legalize his

union with her.

  Fr. Obach told Rizal that he would perform the church wedding

under two conditions:o

 

Retraction of Rizal’s religious errors 

A general confession

  Rizal didn’t follow the conditions so no church wedding took place. 

Friars   Closely monitored the attempts of the Jesuits.

  Knowing that the Jesuits were failing, they tried to win back Rizal to

Catholicism.

  1st

 Strategy: Bribery

Offered Rizal a professional chair in a university, a landed

estate and P100,000 on the condition that Rizal would

repudiate his Noli and El Fili

Maria, his sister tried to urge him to accept but Rizal

responded by saying “what my right hand did, my left hand

will not undo”. 

  2nd

 Strategy: Use of a spy to trap Rizal

Pablo Mercado

 

Real name was Florencio Namanan of Cagayan de

Misamis

 

Agreed to work for the friars due to the promise of

the Recollects that he shall conferred the title, Friar

curator of the Recollects

Was sent by the friars to Dapitan to spy on the activities of

Rizal.

His mission was to secure letters and other articles thatwould have showed that Rizal was a separatist.

The plan was that he go to Dapitan and offered himself as a

courier of Rizal’s letters and writings for the patriots in

Manila.

Rizal being an intelligent man and he could not recall any

relative having the surname Mercado, he detected that he

was an imposter and had him arrested by Commander

Sitges.

Grand Regional Council of

the Philippine Masonry

  Reacted to the suggestion of Governor Blanco’s suggestion for Rizal

to leave the country by generating funds for Rizal’s trip to Spain.  

 

They were eager to see Rizal leave because his presence was athreat to the existence of masonry, that the friars would always

blame the masons for all agitation for change in the Philippines.

Friends in Europe   Made plans to rescue Rizal

Paez   Was commissioned by the propagandist to find a suitable vessel in

Hong Kong or Singapore to rescue Rizal but failed in chartering one.

Basa   His plan was he would be working for Rizal’s release through his

friends among the ministers in Madrid.

8/10/2019 Chapter+18-20

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter18-20 12/13

Regidor   Said that it would be wise to work out for Rizal’s freedom in Manila.  

  Arrived at the solution: ESCAPE FROM DAPITAN.

  If Rizal could not escape, the alternative was to work for his election

as a deputy in Spanish Cortes

  Another alternative was to ensure the election of Marcelo del Pilar

to the Spanish Cortes and let him work for Rizal’s liberation. Katipunan   Made the last attempt to rescue Rizal.

  Plan was Rizal had to be kept in the Philippines for him to freely

lead the revolution.

Bonifacio   The Supremo of the Katipunan

Pio Valenzuela   Commissioned by Bonifacio to be his emissary to Rizal.

  Arrived at Dapitan in July 21, 1986.

  Posed as a companion of Raymundo Mata, a blind man who shall be

seeking Rizal’s medical assistance. 

  Informed Rizal of the plan of the Katipunan and the need for his

support to the revelution.

Rizal  

Clearly expressed his rejection of the plan for a bloody revolutionof the Katipunan.

  Disapproval of the scheme rested on two grounds:

The unpreparedness of the people

Lack of funds and weapons

  Further stressed the point that pursing the revolution would

tantamount to national suicide.

  He also expressed his gratitude for the concern of the Katipunan to

his welfare, but he was not persuaded to escape Dapitan as he had

given his word to the Spanish authorities.

Sindangan Bay   Blanco approved Rizal’s letter requesting, but Rizal had already 

dropped the idea because he was already leaving for Spain.Blumentritt   Regidor requested him to persuade Rizal to volunteer as a doctor

for the Spanish army in Cuba and because it came from him Rizal

acceded the scheme.

Dona Teodora and Don

Francisco

  Did not favor Rizal’s decision as the latter will be risking his life since

the revolution is raging on in Cuba that time.

December 17, 1895   Day Rizal applied as a volunteer doctor for the Spanish army in Cuba

through Blanco.

July 30, 1896   Day the correspondence from Blanco about the being a volunteer

doctor reached Rizal.

Espana   Steamer Rizal rode to leave Dapitan on July 31, 1896.

Castilla

 

Arrived in Manila in August 6, 1896 and the transferred to thiscruiser pending the availability of the vessel bound for Spain.

Teodoro Patiño   The traitor that led to the discovery of the Katipunan.

Fr. Mariano Gil   Patino told him all the organization’s secrets on August 19, 1896
