II. Content
Rizal was exiled to Dapitan after his summons to Malacañang Palace. In the four years
that he stayed in Dapitan, he demonstrated practical nationalism and inspired his fellow
Filipinos living there to do the same.
When Dr. Rizal was exiled to Dapitan, he was in the prime of life and was already a famous
man, having ( to use Captain Ricardo Carnicero’s words) “ attained a certain level of popularity
in the Philippines.” He had passed only 31 summers; had obtained the best education here and
abroad; had earned a reputation as a great poet, essayist, and novelist; had become a skilled
physician and ophthalmologist; had proven himself an accomplished painter and sculptor; and
had even been admitted into a number of elite scientific societies in Europe. In short, it would
not be incorrect to say that he had become a “ complete man” and a citizen of the world. Rizal’s
varied accomplishments would serve him well during his sojourn in Dapitan.
Rizal Boards with the Commandant
In Dapitan, Rizal was given two choices of residency: with the parish priest in the Jesuit mission
house or with the politico-military commander of the district in the Casa Real. Fr. Antonio
Obach, S.J., the parish priest, imposed certain conditions before extending hospitality to Rizal :
that he should “ make a public retraction of his religious errors, issue statements that were
unmistakably pro-spanish, undergo the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, and make a general
confession. As Rizal considered many of such conditions unacceptable and was thus unwilling to
satisfy them, he chose to board with Governor Carnicero for about eight months. The Governor
was also a physician, a bachelor, and a free thinker, like Rizal.
Independent Life in Talisay
As a deportee, Rizal was determined to achieve financial independence and to earn his keep.
Less than two months after his arrival, he was permitted to cultivate the land near the plaza that
extended until the beach. He planted a large number of fruit trees
