Rizal travel to
Dumaguete

5. 
 It was said that on his way and coming back from
Dapitan from exiled, he set foot in the shores of
Dumaguete for the first time and described
Dumaguete as a town of gentle people. This is difficult
to prove for now as there's not much time to dig the
archives on that. But yes, I always hear from many
Dumaguetenos that it was Rizal who coined the
phrase.

 The port of Dumaguete is an important transit port
between Cebu and Western Mindanao, dating back
to the 1800s. Espana, one of the steamer boats that
docked in the port, brought Rizal to the shores of
Dumaguete in August 1896, his second time.

Dapitan, 14 March 1895
Mr. Mariano Pinili
My dear Sir,
I received your letter and I have the pleasure to inform you that I
have already sent money to America about two months ago for the
machine that you want. As that country is far, I expect that the
machine will be here within two months.
Without anything more, command your attentive servant who
kisses your hand.

Meeting People

17. 
 It was the break of dawn
when I arrived from sea.
From a comfortable
distance, the waxing
moon hanged low in the
mountains. These
mountains called
Cuernos de Negros stand
in the backdrop of the
town. The sea was as
black as silk. The sight
and sound and the
familiar air that day of
my arrival still lingered.
Jose Rizal
First Time

18. 
 The first time I set foot
in Dumaguete. I was
immediately smitten by
its small town charm.
And so was Rizal. In his
diary, he wrote about
visits to the Governor
Regal, The Provincial
judge and one house
where a beautiful piano
music was played. Rizal
wrote:
First Time

19. 
 The observant
Calamba Joe added:
"...the people of
Dumaguete are
fond of decorating
their houses with
plants and flowers."
 Still holds true
today. Everywhere
in Dumaguete, there
are always pockets of
garden.
First Time

20. 
 There are big houses, some
with galvanized iron
roofing. The house of a
lady, whose name ( Natalia
Moras) I have forgotten,
was outstanding. It is
occupied by the
government and another
one, just begun with many
ipil posts.
