Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
JUNE 26, 1892
Jose Rizal arrived in the Philippines together with his sister Lucia on board the boat Don Juan from Hong Kong and stayed at room no. 22 of the Hotel de Oriente, a two-story building with 83 rooms.
He attended a reunion in the house of Doroteo Ongjunco located at Calle Ylaya, Tondo district.
Among those he met in the house were Filipinos who were later arrested and executed after the Katipunan was discovered by the Spanish authorities.
A week later, Rizal met Filipino masons in the same house and founded the civic organization La Liga Filipina.
