Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
NOVEMBER 3, 1896
Jose Rizal arrived in Manila from Barcelona and was immediately brought to Fort Santiago. He was on his way to Cuba via Spain when arrested by the authorities on September 2, 1896 on board the ship, Castilla.
He was imprisoned in Barcelona on October 6, 1896 and was sent back to Manila to stand trial for his alleged involvement in the revolution staged by the Katipunan.
Earlier, Rizal asked Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco to allow him to serve as a doctor in the Cuban War of Independence. He left Dapitan with Blanco’s letter of recommendation.
