my fieldtrip
Last Oct. 3, 2012 we had our field trip at Dapitan City. I arrived at the school campus before 7:00 A.M. I was ready for a fun-filled and exciting day. That was not my first field trip, but that was my first with JRMSU family. That fieldtrip was for our subject in History 12 (Rizal’s life, Works and Writings). Our first destination was the landing site called “Punto Del Desembarco de Rizal”. When we were on our way we passed through the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo Street.

From Magallanes, Noli Me Tangere goes southward through El Filibusterismo and stops at the corner of Ermita district. This street received its name from the title of Rizal’s immortal novel.

Next, we were at the landing site. I had been to Dapitan many times and had visited the landing site in the past. I just can’t remember when was the last time I had been there. The first thing we did was to know the history of Rizal’s landing site.

Rizal Landing Site it is situated in Sta. Cruz beach. According to the person I had interviewed this is where Jose Rizal landed at 7:00 pm on July 17, 1892 to begin his expatriation life in Dapitan. Together with Captain Delgras and three artillery men, they walked through Sta. Cruz Street with a “farol de combate” or lantern going to the Casa Real. He was then brought to Don Ricardo Carnicero, a Spanish Military governor of Dapitan during that time.

After our lunch we went to Rizal Park where we saw the replica of his house, pupil’s dormitory, octagonal clinic, hospital houses and the museum where we saw some of Rizal’s artworks clothes and etc. At the park we took some pictures too.

All of these had its own story behind, and reasons why it was built. The Casa Residencia a rectangular house sheltered Rizal from March 1893 until July 31, 1896. The Casa Redonda serves as the clinic of Rizal and also a dormitory for some of his pupils. The Caritas de Salud one of the hospital houses of Rizal.

    During the early part of his exile in Dapitan, Rizal lived at the commandant’s residence. With his prize from the Manila Lottery and his earnings as a farmer and a merchant, he bought a piece of land near the shore of Talisay near Dapitan. On this land, he built three houses- all made of bamboo, wood, and nipa. The first house which was square in shape was his home. The second house was the living quarters of his pupils. And the third house was the barn where he kept his chickens. The second house had eight sides, while the third had six sides.…

    This is the picture of Singapore’s Botanical gardens happens to be Rizal’s favorite destination in Singapore. In his diary he observed the garden’s, “cleanliness and orderliness…numerous plants with labels beside them”. In his second visit to the islands he also made fascinating notes – which only goes to illustrate his passion in botany. Pepe was said to have visited Singapore’s botanical garden three times, even in one of his shortest stopover to the port colony he still managed to find time to see it. This is the reason why the Singaporean authorities originally wanted to erect the plaque of Rizal [part of their program called “friends to our shores”] in the garden but later decided to put it in the greens of Asian Civilization Museum,…

    The movie was an excellent picture of the life of Jose Rizal. The screenplay writers, cinematographers, editors, and the director surely were efficiently prepared in making the movie, as evidenced by the transitions made on every scene: from the real event to the flashbacks, to Rizal’s writings—Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, and how they were so related to his real life—until the execution at Bagumbayan.…

    In July 1982 Jose Rizal was exiled as prisoner in Dapitan. When he arrived in Dapitan, he found it to be a sleepy little town. He thought of ways and means to make it clean, beautiful, and modern. With the help of his friend, father Sanchez, he made a map of Mindanao in front of the church. The map was made up of stones, earth, and grass and it serves as adornment that makes the town plaza beautiful. He and Father Sanchez, together with the citizens, had erected a lamp post in every corner of Dapitan. By stroke of luck, he won six thousand pesos from lottery ticket and he spent the amount in Dapitan. Modern agriculture implements were taken and transmitted from the United State and he taught the farmers how to use them. He bought sixteen hectares of land along the bay where he himself built a little house. He had become a farmer who himself worked hard, toiled, and happy in planting coffee and cacao and from 800 to 1,000 coconuts. (Retana, 1907)…

    Rizal Park

    • 779 Words

    June 11, 2015 at around 4:30 in the afternoon, I set foot on the place where a statue of our country’s national hero is located. I observed and try to feel the vibe and the atmosphere of the place. I know it was just one of the many monuments of him but I really know that something there is unique and different (in a good way). Having been to Luneta Park recently, I can really compare their park with ours here in Davao. First, the actual statue was both big but the former is larger than the latter. The park itself is evidently larger in the former. Also, I have observed that our Rizal Park is not protected by guards 24/7 and if you can jump high enough, you can already touch it. I think the reason for this is that the actual history happened in the so-called Bagumbayan. But the big difference that I really felt is that the Rizal that was standing right in front of me is Davao’s own Rizal. I know it might sound a bit odd but I felt like he was approachable and more realistic. It seems to me that he was protecting us and not the other way around. This monument here in our city is a remembrance for all the things he have done for our country and also a way of inspiring the Davaoeños that we, like Dr. Jose Rizal, can be our country’s heroes in our own little ways. The thing that I noticed the most is his position. The statue portrays our national hero with a feather (used as a pen) on his right hand placed under his chin and I presume a notebook on his left hand positioned under his right hand. And like in most of his statues all over the world, his eyes are always so intense as if he was deeply thinking about something very important. My interpretation in his “posing” is that we can be a hero even if we don’t fight physically with our mga sandata at armas. But by just using words, like him through his novels and great writings, we can also fight for ourselves, for our neighbors and for our…
