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

the poor, and a farmer of his own.

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

went to Cuba with his family.


My takeaway in this film is that the freedom we have today is not for free. Our heroes

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

life if he did not choose that path.

IV. Pagtatalakay

Ang halaga ng pelikulang ito ay ang pagbibigay kaalaman sa mga naganap sa

pagpapatapon kay Rizal sa Dapitan. Sa pamamagitan ng pelikulang ito, ipinakita rito ang mga

nangyari kay Rizal sa panahon na siya ay ipinatapon.

Ang pelikulang ito ay nagbibigay ng aral sa mga manunuod nito. Isa sa mga aral na ito ay ang

pagtulong sa kapwa kahit ano pa ang iyong kalagayan. Ang pagtulong ay hindi lang para sa mga

piling tao kundi ito ay para sa lahat.

Ang pelikulang pinamagatang “Rizal sa Dapitan” sa direksyon ni Tikoy Aguiluz ang nagbigay

linaw sa mga tagpong naganap sa buhay ni Rizal noong siya ay ipinatapon sa bayan ng Dapitan

sa probinsya ng Zamboanga. Ipinakita ng pelikulang ito ang mga bagay na nagawa ng ating

pambansang bayani upang buhayin ang bayan ng Dapitan.

V. Mungkahi

Ang aking mukahi sa lahat ng makakabasa nito ay ang ating kalayaan ay hindi libre, ito

ay pinaghirapan at binahiran ng dugo hindi lang ni Rizal. Normal na mamayaman man, nag aaral

o hindi dapat nating alamin ang mga pangyayaring ating ginugunita.


Sa mga paraalang pangkataasan, sana sa hindi lang Noli Me Tangre at El Filibusterismo o

mga akda ni Rizal ang mas binibigyang pansin. Mas magandang kilalanin muna natin ang taong

nag sulat ng mga ito upang mas lalo natin maintindihan ang paksa at kahulugang nakabalot dito.

Sa mga nakapanood ng pelikula, iminumungkahi kong mag “reflect” tayo sa mga

ebidensya na inilahad sa atin at tayo ay gumawa ng sarili nating imbestigasyon sa kung gaano

ang nagawa at nai-ambag ni Rizal sa ating natatamasang kalayaan ngayon.
