ANNIVERSARY OF THE EXILE OF JOSE RIZAL

It was in Dapitan, a few kilometers from Dipolog (Mindanao), that Dr. Jose Rizal, poet and physician, was exiled in 1892 by the Spanish authorities and shot in 1896, at only 35 years old. Since then, every year, tributes (called Revisitamos Dapitan 1892) are paid to the man who played a great role in the emancipation of the Filipino people and who became a true national hero. For this anniversary, cultural and historical shows.
