Much of the historical significance of Dapitan lies in a seaside village outside the center. The Rizal Shrine in Talisay is a protected patch of trees and bush-lined paths. Inside are nipa huts, which are the vestiges of the structures Rizal created during his stay here. All of the huts – a dorm, a lodging for patients, a students’ workshop, and a clinic – are actually modern recreations, though they have been rebuilt with the same materials and on the same spot as their predecessors. A museum near the park entrance contains a number of Rizal’s artifacts. Read More: https://jayexiomo.wordpress.com/2014/09/06/dapitan-in-rizals-footsteps/

Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte will always be synonymous with National Hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal. In fact, the structural works of Rizal still exist in Dapitan until today. There are in fact three declared cultural properties in Dapitan all relating to Rizal, namely the Relief Map of Mindanao, the Rizal Shrine and the Dapitan Plaza Historical Landmark.  Read More:   http://www.ivanhenares.com/2010/09/zamboanga-del-norte-dapitan-and-rizal.html

Jose Rizal surely knows how to pick a place for exile. I was imagining how the place must have looked like in his time. How forested that piece of land facing the sea must have been. And how conducive it must have been to romance . . . Josephine Bracken was then there. His house looked simple, and had separate structures for the kitchen, for the toilet, for storage, and he had other huts that served as his clinic, and huts that served as quarters for his pupils.

Dapitan today has Rizal’s Shrine as its top tourist draw, with Dakak probably second, and Sunset Boulevard as the third top tourist draw. Read More:   https://boyplakwatsa.com/2010/06/25/dapitan-jose-rizals-second-home/
