Dipolog City is

Known as the
"Gateway of
the Western
Mindanao"
and the
"Bottled
Sardines
Capital of the
Philippines"
which offers a
great deal of
wonders to
visitors and
tourists alike.
Dipolog City is
Zamboanga
del Norte’s
capital and a
third-class city
of the said
province.
Moreover, the
city is also
known for
their wild
orchids.
So if you’re up

kind of travel
and at the

become
uplifted by
historical
accounts of a
city, then
Dipolog will
be a perfect
getaway for
you.
There are
various ways
to get to
Dipolog City
depending
from where
you are going
from.
However, you
may also opt
for a ferry
travel when
visiting
Dipolog.
Today, we are
going to The
José Rizal
Memorial
Protected
Landscape,
also known as
the Rizal Park
and Shrine.
The museum
is situated
near the
shrine’s main
gate and the
shrine is
located 2 kms.
from the
Dapitan City
Hall and 9
kilometres
(5.6 mi) north
of the Dipolog
Airport. It is
accessible via
the Dipolog–
Oroquieta
National Road
and Jose Rizal
Avenue in
Dapitan which
also leads to
the Dakak
Park and
Beach Resort
in Taguilon.
The first building you encounter upon entering the 10-
hectare Rizal Shrine (site of national hero Jose Rizal’s
exile from 1892 to 1896), immediately to the right, is the
2-storey, fairly new and modern Museo ni Jose Rizal
which was originally built in 1971.

The museum was later modernized (part of an
overall plan to modernize around 15 more local
museums nationwide, including those of Loay in
Bohol, Iloilo City, Naga City, Baliuag in Bulacan,
San Juan and Quezon City) by the National
Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP),
chaired by Dr. Maria Serena I. Diokno, and
inaugurated on June 19, 2016 (the 155  birth
th

museum
include the
Talisay
waterworks
system (also
known as the
Linao
Aqueduct)
which Rizal
surveyed
and helped
build with the
blueprint he
made. Rizal
harnessed
the natural
spring of
Linao Creek,
giving the
public a
potable-
water
system.
Later, he
connected
pipes to
the aqueduct 
and, with his
students,
built the pipe
works that
served his
household
and farm
needs.
