The governor general who sent Dr. José Rizal into exile in Dapitan was Governor General Fernando Primo de Rivera. Rizal was exiled there from 1892 to 1896 due to his nationalist activities and writings, which were seen as a threat to Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. During his time in Dapitan, Rizal engaged in various activities, including education, civic projects, and scientific studies. His exile was a significant period in which he continued to inspire the Filipino fight for independence.
