    Juan Sitges Was A Successor of CPT

    Uploaded by

    Kristine Pacal
    Juan Sitges became the new political-military captain in Dapitan, replacing Ricardo Carnicero. As a physician, Sitges should have had a friendly relationship with Jose Rizal, who was also a medical student. However, their relationship was distant, likely due to instructions Sitges received regarding Rizal's imprisonment or because of Carnicero's intimacy with Rizal which led to his removal. Sitges imposed security measures on Rizal and had him report frequently to headquarters, requiring Rizal to live in a nearby house rather than at the captain's residence.

     Juan Sitges was a successor of Cpt.

    Ricardo Carnicero, he was the new


    Politico military captain. He was also a physician but in spite of this
    common circumstances, which should have led to fellowship between him and
    rizal because they both studied in medical field, their relationship was
    distant either because of instructions he received or because he had
    learned that Carnicero was removed precisely because of his intimacy with
    Rizal. Rizal stopped taking his meals at the captain’s house as he used
    to do. He had to report frequently at headquarters and so had to live in
    a nearby house. These and other security measures were adopted by Sitges.
     In his report to Ochando, Sitges said that he seemed to like rizal in
    spite of the distance he set. This is another proof of the naturally
    pleasing personality of our hero.
     As time passed, Sitges became more liberal with the prisoner. He took over
    care of Jose Rizal and also gave him favorable reports regarding his
    behavior in Dapitan.
     During the early part of his exile in Dapitan, Rizal lived at the
    commandant’s residence. With his prize from the Manila Lottery and his
    earnings as a farmer and a merchant, he bought a piece of land near the
    shore of Talisay near Dapitan. On this land, he built three houses- all
    made of bamboo, wood, and nipa. The first house which was square in shape
    was his home, Jose lived with his sisters and mother in the square house.
    The second house was the living quarters of his pupils. Rizal established a
    school in Dapitan. It began with 3 pupils then increased to 21. Formal
    classes were between 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. He also applied the “emperor”
    system like that of Ateneo. He made a poem “Hymn to Talisay”, in honor of
    Talisay which he made his pupils sing. And the third house was the barn
    where he kept his chickens.
     Rizal's life went on as before: teaching his boys as he called them,
    attending to the sick, treating fractures with rattan and bamboo, and
    gradually falling into a state of depression. What is surprising is that he
    did not have a nervous breakdown.
     Rizal's daily life continued without change. The only novelty being his
    project of constructing a water dike and reservoir. He was helped by 14
    boys who, in exchange for gratuitous help from Rizal, worked for him. He
    also put up a water conveyor system out of the primitive materials
    available then: bamboo, bricks, and mortar, this conducted the water to a
    fountain with a lion’s head of clay molded by Rizal himself.
     The last days of February 1893, three passengers arrived; one of whom would
    change the monotonous fife of Rizal in Dapitan. The hewcomers were George
    Taufer; Josephine Bracken, his adopted daughter; and Manuela Orlac,
    F i l i p i n a c o m p a n i o n w h o accompanied Josephine Bracken to Dapitan. And a
    friend of a churchman from the Cathedral of Manila. Taufer presented
    himself with a letter of introduction from Julio Llorente who recommended
    Rizal to treat him.

     Taufer became blind so he sought for an ophthalmic specialist. he


    was about 65 years old, and his last 25 years were spent in Hong Kong.
    worked as an engineer in charge of the steam-powered fire engine run by
    the Hong Kong Fire Insurance Company.During his first year in Hong Kong,
    he had a daughter by a Chinese woman, named, Sara. Two years later, Taufer
    married a Portuguese woman from Macao unfortunately they did not bear a
    child.
     According to Coates, for Taufer was a syphilitic (a bacterial infection
    spread by sexual contact) . Six years after his marriage in 1876, the
    married English solider impregnate the Chinese woman and Taufer adopted
    their daughter. when his wife died, he registered his illegitimate child,
    Josephine Bracken, as the legitimate daughter of his recently deceased
    wife.
