Lakbay Jose Rizal @ 150 : Region IX

Nabanggit ko dito na may Pasaporte ako ng Lakbay Rizal. Hindi ko man matapos ang 26 sites, ok lang. Gusto ko lang talagang mag effort! :P Saka nakakatuwa ang pantatak katulad ng litratong nasa pasaporte at makakatuwa ding maging parte ng proyektong ito. :) 

Kaya kasabay ng pagpaplano ng itinerary para sa Dipolog - Dapitan ang pagreresearch kung paano mapupuntahan ang 9 na nasa pasaporte. Ok naman kasi halos iyon din ang mga mapupuntahan namin.

Lakbay Jose Rizal @ 150 : Region IX

Rizal Shine and Waterworks, Baranggay Talisay, Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte - Rizal's estate during his exile in Dapitan, it houses replicas of structures he built there for himself, his family, pupils and patients including the Casa Residencia, Family Kitchen, Casa Redonda, Casa Quadrada, Casitas de Salud and Casa Redonda Pequena among many others. Dr. Rizal purchased the property with his prize from the Manila Lottery and his earnings as a farmer and merchant during his exile in Dapitan  from July 17, 1892 to July 31, 1896. He also built a waterworks system which can still be found in the city.

Dapitan Plaza, Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte - A National Historical Landmark, the Dapitan Plaza was planned and beautified by Rizal during his exile. Acacia trees which he personally planted can still be found in the plaza.

Dapitan Church, Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte - Built in 1883, a historical marker can be found in the St. James Church of Dapitan in the exact spot where Rizal stood every Sunday during his exile from 1892 to 1896. 

Relief Map of Mindanao, Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte - A National Cultural Treasure, Rizal created this map as an aid in teaching history and geography to the locals.

Santa Cruz Beach, Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte - On July 17, 1892, Rizal landed on Santa Cruz Beach at 7 p.m. with Captain Delgras and three artillery men. They walked through Sta. Cruz Street with a farol de combate to the Casa Real where he was presented to Don Ricardo Carnicero, the Spanish military governor of the area. A tableau was constructed in the site to commemorate Rizal's arrival in Dapitan.

Dipolog Cathedral, Dipolog, Zamboanga del Norte - Rizal is said to have designed the church altars of the Dipolog Cathedral. Although the facade has been extremely renovated, the interior remains relatively intact.

Mga hindi napuntahan. :'(

Site of the Casa Real, Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte - Hindi ko alam kung napuntahan namin at hindi ko lang nakuhaan ng picture or hindi talaga namin napuntahan at all. Pero may tatak na siya! Hehe!

Ito ba iyon? Pero iba sa pasaporte e! O.o

Rizal Farm, Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte - Sabi sa nabasa ko, 15-20 minutes ride from Dipolog City. Eh hindi naman kami nagstay ng matagal sa Dipolog at halos 2 hrs naman siya from Dapitan, kaya iyon!
