Rizal Sa Dapitan
The movie introduced us to a scene where Rizal was exiled in the province of Dapitan,
Zamboanga del Norte due to his opposition against the Spanish friars and their government. He
met Padre Obach on his first day and he encouraged him to retract his catholic faith but Rizal
still chose to live up to his integrity. Upon his arrival in Dapitan, he saw that the province was
devastated. With his knowledge and skills, he built water systems made of bamboo, lamp posts
made of coconut tree as road-side lights, and he also helped in cleaning areas that are possible
sources of Malaria (e.g. creeks, stagnant water, and swamps). Overall, Rizal made his stay
worthwhile; he was not only a prisoner but he also became a teacher to a few kids, a doctor of
Doña Teodora and two of his sisters (Narcissa nad Maria) also went to Dapitan. Rizal
performed an operation on his mother because of her worsening eyesight. Another patient also
went to see Rizal, he was an American named George Taufer. This is where he met Josephine
Bracken, George’s goddaughter. They eventually fell for each other throughout Josephine’s
stay. However, since Rizal cannot cure George, they eventually had to be separated but
Josephine promised that she will return – and so she did. When she came back, they decided to
marry, but the local Catholic Church refused to wed them because of his reputation with the
Catholic Church. Instead, they decided to facilitate their own wedding under a tree, with nature
as their witness. After some time, Josephine got pregnant. Rizal’s family (particularly Maria)
questioned her motives and claimed to be a spy for Spain. Eventually, Rizal found out that she
was indeed working for the Spanish friars; he was outraged and this resulted to Josephine’s
miscarriage. The film ended with Rizal’s stay in Dapitan and his separation with Josephine. He
like Rizal sacrificed their lives so that generations after them would not have to experience all
the forms of oppression that they went through. This film also showed another side of Rizal that
is not usually told in educational discussions. I saw how he was devastated by not being able to
be with his family, and it made me think if Rizal had regrets when he decided to fight for his
country’s rights and oppose the Spanish government. He could have lived a longer and normal
