EXILE IN DAPITAN
REPORTER: CARINA N. PANTIG
RIZAL’S EXILE
Jose Rizal's arrival in Manila on
June 26, 1892 had become very
sensational among the Filipinos.
His popularity feared the
Spaniards, and as such, payed
careful attention to his every
moves – all houses where he had
been were searched and the
Filipinos seen in his company were
suspected.
As he had planned, on July 3,
1892 he founded the La Liga
Filipina in the house of Doroteo
Ongjunco in Tondo, Manila.
Four days after the
civic organization's
foundation, Jose Rizal
was arrested by the
Spanish authorities on
four grounds:
1. For publishing anti-Catholic and
anti-friar books and articles;
2. For having in possession a bundle of
handbills, the Pobres Frailes, in which
advocacies were in violation of the
Spanish orders;
3. For dedicating his novel, El
Filibusterismo to the three “traitors”
(Gomez, Burgos and Zamora) and for
emphasizing on the novel's title page
that “the only salvation for the
Philippines was separation from the
mother country (referring to Spain)”;
and
4. For simply criticizing the religion
and aiming for its exclusion from the
Filipino culture.
