Rizal moved to Madrid in 1890 to supervise legal cases against the Dominican landlords regarding the dispossession of his family's land in Calamba. He sought help from the Filipino colony and liberal Spanish newspapers, but the colonial government did nothing in response. Rizal had an aborted duel with Antonio Luna after Luna made disparaging remarks about Nellie Boustead. Leonor Rivera also informed Rizal of her upcoming marriage to an Englishman. Rivalry emerged between Rizal and Del Pilar as editor of La Solidaridad due to differing political views. After three days of voting, Rizal was elected as the Responsible leader to determine the newspaper's editorial policy.
Rizal left Europe for Hong Kong in 1891, where he lived with his family and worked as an ophthalmic surgeon. While in Hong Kong, he continued writing works advocating for reforms in the Philippines and conceived of a project to establish a Filipino colony in Borneo. Despite warnings that it was dangerous to return to Manila, Rizal decided to do so in 1892 in order to discuss his colony project with the governor and establish the Liga Filipina secret society. Before departing, he wrote letters to be opened after his death predicting his fate.
Rizal left Manila secretly on May 3, 1882 to travel to Spain. He stopped in Singapore for two days before boarding a French steamer to Suez, Egypt. On June 11, he arrived in Naples, Italy and was fascinated by Mount Vesuvius and Castle of St. Elmo. He later reached Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain, where he wrote his nationalist essay "Amor Patrio" under a pseudonym. In Madrid, he enrolled in medical and philosophy studies at the Central University of Madrid. He also took art lessons and joined the Circulo Hispano-Filipino society. In 1883, he joined the Masonic lodge in Madrid to help fight abusive friars in
Rizal traveled from Paris to Brussels in January 1890 for two reasons - the high cost of living in Paris due to an exposition and the social life distracting from his work. In Brussels, he continued writing and contributed articles to La Solidaridad defending Filipinos against abuses under Spanish rule. He also advocated for reforms to the Tagalog orthography and criticized Filipinos in Madrid for gambling. However, news from home of his family facing persecution led him to initially plan to return, before deciding instead to go to Madrid to handle their legal case.
Rizal chose to live in London for 3 years to improve his English, study Morga's book on Philippine history, and continue his fight against Spanish tyranny from a safe place. He stayed with the Beckett family and fell in love with their daughter Gertrude. In London, he wrote articles defending the Noli Me Tangere and contributed pieces to publications. He also grew close to the Filipino community in Europe and supported the new newspaper La Solidaridad. Missing his family and friends, he sadly left London in March 1889 to continue his work in Paris.
Rizal took a trip from Dapitan back to Manila in 1896 before his intended departure for Spain. During stops in places like Dumaguete, Cebu, and Iloilo, he met with friends and was fascinated by sites like Mactan island. However, upon arriving in Manila he missed the boat for Spain. While waiting for the next boat, the Philippine Revolution began. Rizal departed for Spain but was arrested in Barcelona after being betrayed by Spanish officials. He was then transported back to Manila, realizing his last trip abroad would end in imprisonment and death.

However, concerns over his family's situation in the Philippines and a desire to oversee their legal case prompted Rizal to travel to Madrid in 1890.
Rizal embarked on his last trip abroad in August 1896, visiting various places in the Philippines. However, unbeknownst to Rizal, Governor General Blanco was conspiring with Spanish ministers to have Rizal arrested. On September 30, Rizal was notified that he would be arrested upon arriving in Barcelona. On October 3, the ship arrived in Barcelona and Rizal was taken prisoner.

Rizal Chapter 22: Exile in Dapitan (Gregorio F. Zaide)Arvin Garing
Rizal lived in exile in far-away Dapitan, a remote town in Mindanao, which was under the missionary jurisdiction of the Jesuits, from 1892 to 1896. This four-year interregnum in his life was tediously unexciting, but was abundantly fruitful with varied achievements. He practices medicine, pursued scientific studies, continued his artistic and literary works, widened his knowledge of languages, established a school of boys, promoted community development projects, invented a wooden machine for making bricks, and engaged in farming and commerce. Despite his multifarious activities, he kept an extensive correspondence with his family, relatives, fellow reformists, and eminent scientists and scholars of Europe, including Blumentritt. Reinhold Rost, A.B. Meyer, W. Joest of Berlin, S. Knuttle of Stuttgart, and N.M. Keight of Prague.
Beginning of Exile in Dapitan. The steamer Cebu which brought Rizal to Dapitan carried a letter from Father Pablo Pastells, Superior of the Jesuit Society in the Philippines, to Father Antonio Obach, Jesuit parish priest of Dapitan. In this letter, Father Superior Pastells informed Father Obach that Rizal could live at the parish convent on the following conditions:
1. "That Rizal publicly retract his errors concerning religion, and make statements that were clearly pro-Spanish and against revolution.
2. "That he perform the church rites and make a general confession of his past life.
3. "That henceforth he conduct himself in an exemplary manner as a Spanish subject and a man of religion."
Rizal did not agree with these conditions. Consequently, he lived in the house of the commandant, Captain Carnicero. The relations between Carnicero (the warden) and Rizal (the prisoner) were warm and friendly.
House of Captain Carnicero.jpg) the house Rizal used to live.
Carnicero was charmed by Rizal's fine qualities and personality. They ate together at the same table and had many friendly conversations. Carnicero came to know that Rizal was not a common felon, much less a filibustero. He gave good reports on his prisoner to Governor Despujol. He gave him complete freedom to go anywhere, reporting only once a week at his office, and permitted Rizal, who was a good equestrian, to ride his chestnut horse.
Wins in Manila Lottery. On September 21, 1892, the sleepy town of Dapitan burst in hectic excitement. The mail boat Butuan was approaching the town, with colored pennants flying in the sea breezes. Captain Carnicero, thinking that a high Spanish official was coming, hastily dressed in gala uniform, ordered the town folks to gather at the shore, and himself rushed there, bringing a brass band.
The mail boat, Butuan, brought no Spanish officials but the happy tidings that the Lottery Ticket No. 9736 jointly owned by Captain Carnicero, Dr. Rizal, and Francisco Equilor (Spanish resident of Dipolog, a neighboring town of Dapitan) won the second prize of P20, 000 in the government-owned Manila Lottery.
Rizal arrived in Madrid in 1890 seeking justice for his family and tenants in the Philippines but failed. He worked with Filipino groups in Madrid and challenged Spanish officials and scholars who insulted Filipinos, including a duel with Retana. However, Rizal's partner Leonor married another, and divisions grew between Rizal and Del Pilar's supporters. Rizal was elected leader but stepped aside to avoid conflict, leaving Madrid for good.

Rizal returned home to the Philippines in 1887 after being warned that his novel Noli Me Tangere had caused uproar among the friars. Upon arriving, he established a medical practice and helped his partially blind mother. However, controversy over the Noli grew, with the friars attacking it as heretical and subversive. Defenders including Rizal's former teacher defended the work. Threats against Rizal's life increased and he was forced to leave the Philippines in 1888 for his own safety, though he remained committed to serving his country from abroad.
Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1887 after 5 years in Europe against warnings from friends and family. He established a medical practice in Calamba and treated patients, including his mother. However, he faced growing opposition from the Catholic church and Spanish authorities due to his novel Noli Me Tangere. In 1888, Rizal was forced to leave the Philippines again due to threats and traveled to Hong Kong, Macao, and eventually Japan to escape his enemies and continue advocating for reforms from abroad.
Rizal lived in Paris during his second sojourn where he founded several Filipino societies. He published an annotated edition of Morga's Sucesos in 1889 to educate Filipinos about their history. He also planned to establish a college for Filipinos in Hong Kong but had to cut his time in Europe short to return to the Philippines.
Rizal encountered many adversities during his time in Madrid from 1890-1891. He almost fought two duels, one with Antonio Luna and another with Wenceslao Retana. Additionally, the infidelity of his love Leonor Rivera broke his heart. Rizal also faced rivalry with Marcelo H. del Pilar for leadership of the Propaganda Movement. This caused division among the Filipino community in Madrid. Despite being elected leader, Rizal declined to prevent further disunity and left Madrid, bidding it an emotional farewell.
Jose Rizal was forced to leave the Philippines for a second time in February 1888 due to powerful enemies. During his voyage to Hong Kong, Rizal became sick. He stopped in Amoy and Xiamen before arriving in Hong Kong on February 16, 1888, where he stayed at the Victoria Hotel. Rizal spent two weeks in Hong Kong studying Chinese life, language, drama, and customs. He was impressed by the cleanliness of the city but was bothered by the noisy celebrations for Chinese New Year. Rizal departed Hong Kong on February 22, 1888.
This document provides a summary of Chapter 7 of the biography "Life and Works of Dr. Jose P. Rizal". It describes Rizal finishing and publishing his novel Noli Me Tangere in 1886-1887. Some key points:
- Rizal was inspired by Uncle Tom's Cabin to write about the suffering of Filipinos under Spanish rule. He began writing Noli Me Tangere in 1884 in Madrid and worked on it in Paris and Germany.
- The novel was published in March 1887 with funding from Rizal's friend Dr. Maximo Viola. It cost 300 pesos to print 2000 initial copies.
- The title "Noli Me Tangere"
Upon his return to the Philippines in 1892, he was arrested by the Spanish government for being a subversive and for his reported involvement in the rebellion. He was then exiled to the island of the Dapitan in the southernmost island group of the Philippines, Mindanao.
Rizal chapter 21- THE SECOND HOMECOMING AND LA LIGA FILIPINAleahamper29
Rizal made his second homecoming to Manila in June 1892, where he sought meetings with Governor General Despujol to negotiate for pardons for his family members. During this time, he also visited friends in Central Luzon and founded the civic league Liga Filipina. On July 6, Rizal was arrested and jailed in Fort Santiago on accusations of publishing anti-Spanish writings. He was then deported to Dapitan on July 15, where he began his four-year exile.
Rizal moved to Paris after visiting London. While there, he socialized with the Pardo de Tavera family and Mr. Edward Bousted's family. He founded two clubs, Kidlat Club and Indios Bravos, and worked on two projects - the International Association of Filipinologists and a Modern Filipino College in Hong Kong. However, his romance with Adelina Bousted did not lead to marriage due to uncertainties about his feelings, religious differences, and concerns about his ability to financially support a family.

Chapter 15: Second Sojourn of Rizal In Paris and the Universal Exposition
Rizal was arrested in 1896 after the discovery of the Katipunan rebellion against Spanish rule in the Philippines. He was brought back to Manila from Spain and tried in a military court on charges of rebellion, sedition, and illegal association. Despite denying the charges and asserting his innocence, Rizal was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad. He was executed in Manila on December 30, 1896 at Bagumbayan Field.
Rizal returned to the Philippines for three reasons: to discuss his Borneo colonization project, establish the Liga Filipina to unite Filipinos against oppression, and prove criticisms against him were unfounded. He was exiled to Dapitan due to confiscated writings criticizing the church and Spain. In Dapitan, Rizal established schools, hospitals, farms and infrastructure projects, dedicating himself to his patients, studies, and civic development.
Rizal returned to the Philippines in June 1892 after his project to establish a Filipino colony in North Borneo was rejected by Governor Despujol.

On July 3, 1892, Rizal officially founded La Liga Filipina in Manila.
Rizal arrived in Madrid in 1890 seeking justice for the oppressed tenants of Calamba, including his family, but faced many disappointments. He tried to gain help from the Filipino colony, Spanish newspapers and politicians, but nothing came of these efforts. He received news that his relatives had been deported to Mindoro and his family forcibly ejected from their home. Rizal grew desperate in his attempts to help them. He also faced personal struggles as the woman he was engaged to for 11 years married another, and rivalry grew between him and Del Pilar for leadership of the Filipino colony. Unable to achieve his goals and facing disunity among his countrymen, Rizal decided to leave Madrid in early 1891.

Unable to achieve his goals and facing disunity among his countrymen, Rizal decided to leave Madrid in early 1891.
Rizal left Brussels for Madrid in July 1890 to oversee legal proceedings related to his family's land dispute in Calamba. While in Brussels, he found comfort in the company of Petite Jacoby, with whom he flirted and developed feelings for. However, Rizal maintained propriety and did not engage in deception, departing for Madrid at the end of July though Petite Jacoby cried as she had fallen in love with him.
Rizal faced many disappointments in Madrid from 1890-1891. He was unable to get justice for his family and tenants from the Spanish authorities. More bad news arrived that his brother and others had been deported. Rizal's relationship with Leonor Rivera ended when she married another man. He challenged two men, Antonio Luna and Wenceslao Retana, to duels after insults but the disputes were resolved. Rizal abdicated his leadership role in the Filipino organization after losing an election to del Pilar, increasing rivalry between them. By early 1891 Rizal left Madrid for Brussels to finish writing his second novel.

Rizal arrived in Madrid in August 1890 seeking justice for his family and the tenants of Calamba, but to no avail despite reaching out to various Spanish officials and newspapers. He received worse news that his family had been forcibly ejected from their home. Rizal nearly fought two duels, one with Antonio Luna and another with Wenceslao Retana who was attacking Filipinos in the press. In December 1890, Rizal learned that his love Leonor Rivera had married an Englishman. In early 1891, there was a rivalry between Rizal and Del Pilar for leadership in the Filipino exile community in Madrid. Rizal abdicated his leadership position and left Madrid for Brussels in February
Rizal conducted extensive research at the British Museum in London and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, enriching his knowledge of history. He read historical documents in their original languages including Italian and Spanish. In Paris, he planned to establish a modern college in Hong Kong and an association of Filipinologists, though both efforts failed. He also wrote articles criticizing Spanish colonization in the Philippines and the concept of Filipino indolence. While in Brussels, he focused on writing his second novel El Filibusterismo and continued contributing articles under a pen name.
Rizal lived in London from May 1888 to March 1889 for three reasons: to improve his English, study Morga's book on Philippine history, and continue his fight against Spanish tyranny safely. While there, he annotated Morga's book at the British Museum and had a romance with his landlord's daughter, Gertrude Beckett. He wrote articles for publications and pieces defending his work. Rizal left London suddenly in March 1889 to continue his work from Paris.
Rizal encountered many hardships during his time in Madrid from 1890-1891. He almost fought two duels, one with Antonio Luna and another with Wenceslao Retana. Additionally, the infidelity of his love Leonor Rivera broke his heart. Rizal also faced rivalry with Marcelo H. del Pilar for leadership of the Propaganda Movement. This caused division among the Filipino community in Madrid. After failing to unite the groups as their elected leader, Rizal abdicated his position and left Madrid in 1891, bidding farewell to the city that held both happy and unhappy memories for him.
This document provides a detailed summary of Chapter 8 of Rizal's novel Noli Me Tangere. It discusses the publication of the novel in Berlin in 1887 while Rizal was living in poverty. It then provides character summaries and plots synopses of the novel. It describes the inspiration for writing the novel, the writing process, challenges faced, and reception of the novel. It also notes that many characters and events were based on real people and situations in the Philippines under Spanish rule.
1. Rizal sought justice for the oppressed tenants of Calamba, including his family, from the Spanish Minister of Colonies but was unsuccessful. Tensions grew between Rizal and Del Pilar for leadership of the Filipino colony in Madrid.
2. Rizal wrote a eulogy for his friend Jose Ma. Panganiban who died in Barcelona. Rizal also mourned the death of another friend, Feliciano Gomez Timbang.
3. A drunken Antonio Luna insulted Rizal's friend Nellie Boustead, leading Rizal to challenge Luna to a duel. Luna later sobered and apologized, avoiding the duel.
Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1887 after the publication of Noli Me Tangere. He operated on his mother's eyes and established a medical practice in Calamba, earning over 5,000 pesos in fees. However, the novel caused an uproar among friars. Rizal also documented tenant grievances against the Dominican hacienda in Calamba. Due to threats to his safety and ability to better serve his country abroad, Rizal left Calamba in early 1888.
Rizal spent time in London studying history and languages at the British Museum. He fell in love with his landlady's daughter Gertrude but realized he could not marry due to his mission. He contributed articles to La Solidaridad under pseudonyms and became leader of Filipinos in Europe. In Paris, he formed the Kidlat Club and participated in the Exposition. He published the annotated edition of Morga's Sucesos, dedicating it to Filipinos to show their pre-Hispanic civilization.
Rizal wrote numerous essays, articles, and commentaries that advocated for Philippine reforms and independence. His writings exposed the abuses of the Spanish colonial government and Catholic clergy, and promoted nationalism among Filipinos. Some of his most notable works included articles published in La Solidaridad criticizing Spanish policies, his historical commentaries written in London, and the constitution he wrote for the secret society La Liga Filipina in Hong Kong. Rizal's writings were influential in sparking the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule.
Rizal left Paris for Brussels in January 1890 due to the high cost of living in Paris. In Brussels, he lived modestly and spent time studying medicine and engaging in recreational activities. He wrote several articles for La Solidaridad that criticized Spanish rule. He received bad news from home about his family losing their land in Calamba. Rizal had premonitions of an early death and prepared to return home, but ultimately decided to travel to Madrid instead to deal with his family's legal issues. He had a romance with his landlady's niece before departing Brussels in late July 1890 for Madrid.
Rizal left Europe for Hong Kong after publishing El Filibusterismo due to political differences. In Hong Kong, he practiced as an ophthalmic surgeon and was reunited with family deported from Calamba. Rizal wrote articles criticizing Spanish rule and laid the basis for La Liga Filipina. Despite warnings, he returned to Manila to establish La Liga Filipina but was arrested on false charges and deported to Dapitan.

Chapter 18 disappointments in madrid- rizals life works and writings of a genius, writer, scientist and a national hero
This was my Aid during my REPORT in P.I. 100
José Rizal was a Filipino nationalist and polymath during Spanish colonial rule in the late 19th century. He was a key member of the Filipino Propaganda Movement advocating for political reforms. He is considered one of the greatest heroes of the Philippines for his writings including two novels that inspired peaceful reform and revolution. Rizal received an excellent education both in the Philippines and abroad in Spain, France, Germany, and England where he distinguished himself as a polyglot skilled in both science and the arts. He had romantic relationships with Leonor Rivera, who inspired characters in his novels, and later Josephine Bracken, with whom he had a common law marriage before his execution by the Spanish in 1896.
1. Rizal finished writing his first novel Noli Me Tangere in Berlin in February 1887 after months of struggle.
2. Inspired by Uncle Tom's Cabin, Rizal proposed writing a novel about the Philippines in 1884 but his compatriots did not contribute. He wrote it alone between 1884-1887 while living in Madrid, Paris, and Berlin.
3. Just as Rizal was about to burn the manuscript out of despair, his friend Maximo Viola visited and financed the printing of the first edition, saving the Noli from being destroyed.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

by family disasters, that he wrote his pathetic poem, “A Mi”
To my muse
Romance with Petite Susanne Jacoby
Two things brought some measures of cheers to the despondent Rizal as he was preparing to leave.
1. Summer time Festival of Belgium which was celebrated in carnival style, with
colorful costumes, fantastic floats, and many days of merriment
2. Romance with Susanne Jacoby
Rizal was so charming and dignified a gentleman that Petite Susanne was attracted to him
He was lonely in a strange country and Leonor was so far away
Like other women, Suzanne fell in love with Rizal
She cried when he left toward the end of July, 1890 for Madrid

called on the Minister of Colonies (Fabie) in order to protest the injustices committed by
the Governor-General Valeriano Weyler and the Dominicans against the Calamba folks

• To avert the break-up between Rizal and Del Pilar, Filipinos in Madrid (90) met to intensify
the campaign for reform and they declared a leader called Responsible, he chosen to
determine the editorial policy of La Solidaridad.

1. Rizal refused to give up his Catholic faith and be converted to Protestantism, as Nelly
demanded
2. Nelly’s mother did not like Rizal as a son-in-law
