owned island and carve ot of its virgin wildness a New Calamba so he went to Sandakan on
board the ship Menon to negotiate with the British authorities for the establishment of a Filipino
colony

of the law he was placed under arrest and escorted to Fort Santiago by Ramon Despujol,
nephew and aide of the governor general. In Fort Santiago, he was kept incommunicado.
Arbitrary
- unrestrained and autocratic in the use of authority

Reasons for Rizals Deportation

- Rizal had published books and articles abroad which showed disloyalty to Spain and which
were frankly anti-Catholic and imprudently anti-friar.
- A few hours after his 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 Filipinos is
satirized, and which accusation is published against the customs of the religious orders.
- His novel El Filibusterismo was dedicated to the memory of three traitors (Gomez, Burgos,
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 separation from the mother country.
- The end which he pursues in his efforts and writings is to tear from the loyal Filipino breasts
the treasures of our holy Catholic faith.

Chapter 22: Exile in Dapitan, 1892-1896

Reasons to Stay in Parish Convent
- That Rizal publically retracts his errors concerning religion and make statements that were
clearly pro-Spanish against revolution.
- That he perform the church rites and make a general confession of his past life.
- That henceforth he conduct himself in an exemplary manner as a Spanish subject and a man
of religion.
Rizal Challenges a Frenchman
- A man named, Juan Lardet, purchased many logs from the lands of Rizal. And it so happened
that the logs were of poor quality. Lardet sent a letter to Antonio Miranda, a Dapitan merchant
and Rizals friend. He expressed his disgust with the business deal. Then Miranda forwarded
the letter to Rizal. One of Rizals weaknesses is his sensitivity that why when he read the letter,
he flared up in anger and immediately confronted Lardet and challenged him to duel.
Rizals Encounter with the Friars Spy
- The spy offered to be Rizals courier of letters for the patriots in Manila. Rizal became
suspicious and wanted to throw the spy outside but considering his values and late hour of the
night, he offered the spy to spend the night at his house. Rizal went to the comandancia and
reported the impostor to Captain Juan Sitges. Sitges ordered Pablo Mercados arrest and told
Anastacio Adriatico to investigate him immediately.

Rizal and Josephine Bracken

- The death of Leonor Rivera left a poignant void in Rizals heart. He met Josephine who went to
Manila with Mr. Taufer, a blind man who adopted Josephine, to seek for his services as an
ophthalmic surgeon. Rizal and Josephine fell in love with each other at first sight. And after a
whirlwind romance of one month, they agreed to marry. They had a baby named Francisco who
only lived for three hours because it was a premature baby.

Chapter 23: Last Trip Abroad (1896)

Victim of Spanish Duplicity
- His mistake is that he sealed his own doom by refusing to break his word of honor in
Singapore. He thought General Blanco was a man of honor because he let him to go as a free
man to Spain to become a physician-surgeon of the Spanish army in Cuba, and gave him two
letters of introduction addressed to the Spanish minister of war and colonies.
Rizal Arrested before Reaching Barcelona
- A passenger told Rizal that he would be arrested by order of General Blanco and would be
