I love Jose Rizal and it is astounding how people managed to preserve the place where he was exiled in Dapitan. Although I don't believe that the clothes that were displayed belong to him because of its length, it didn't dampen my whole experience.
The place where he operated on his mother's eyes was still there and even the apparatus he used. In his house, the pots and pans are displayed in the dirty kitchen. The hut which he used as a clinic was also in good condition along with the beds.
I have to comment on the bathrooms. I am glad that they have maintained the public bathrooms to be used by visitors because some people including me are very particular when it comes to a clean toilet.
The souvenir tshirts were so cheap! I have to applaud them for not exploiting tourists. If I were in Dapitan again, I would love to visit this place again.
Oh I forgot to mention that if it weren't for this museum, I wouldn't have known that Jose Rizal was already a millionaire back then. I saw a letter there about the govt confiscating his million.

My visit to the Rizal Park and Shrine in Dapitan City was a remarkable journey through Philippine history. This park, where our national hero José Rizal was exiled, is a living testament to our rich heritage.
The park's location near the water provides a refreshing and serene atmosphere. The tour, which includes a walk through various structures and an "eco-walk" featuring different species and Rizal's poems, was both enjoyable and educational.

People there are nice but facilities are lacking. Restroom is strategically located at the center but not well maintained when I visited there. No running AC inside the museum so you will not stay long to read everything, as most of the displays are to be read. It would be nice if tour guides are present to make the visit more meaningful and informative. We were just guided by the local photographer who provided minimal and faulty info and he offered as photographer using our cp but then used his camera to shoot and sell our photos printed in A4 size photopaper at php150. The place is more like a local source of income. And oh, since it is a nice park, it would be better if we could camp inside...
