The Chapter 21 is about his second home coming and the Liga Filipina. Rizal and his sister Lucia
traveled to Manila. He immediately took the necessary steps to speak with General Despujol. He talked
to him and convinced him to forgive his father and sisters. Rizal also pays visits to some of his friends who
have been raided by the guardia civil. Following his visit, he also founded La Liga, a group of patriotic
Filipinos dedicated to the cause of freedom. During one of Rizal’s visits to general, he was shown leaflets
reportedly found in his sister's pillowcase about an attack on the Spanish friars. Despite his denial of the
claims, Rizal remains under arrest. He was escorted to Fort Santiago by the general's grandson. It was
eventually decided that Rizal would be exiled to Dapitan. He boarded the heavily guarded stem ship. Cebu
commanded by captain Delgras. Rizal moves to Dapitan and begins four years of disappearance.
Chapter 22 is entitling Exile in Dapitan (1892-1896). Rizal lived a fairly simple life while being exiled
to the faraway Dapitan. He became a naked witness to one of the most successful periods in Rizal’s life
the time spent in the province was more than the time spent in exile. This was the period when Rizal
focused more on serving the people and society through public works, health care, land planning and
promoting education. He then fell in love with an American named Josephine Bracken who went to the
Philippines to seek medical help for her blind stepfather. They got married but couldn't keep their child.
Rizal maximized his time in Dapitan by spending a lot of time improving his literary and artistic skills doing
agricultural and civil projects, engaging in commercial activities as well as sending letters to his European
friends namely Ferdinand Blumentritt.
