DR. JOSE RIZAL'S NORTH BORNEO ( SABAH) DREAM By: Deo Antonio D. Llamas (MRHSSS) [The image below was an article that appeared in the Sept. 4, 2002 column of columnist Ambeth Ocampo in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It is the story of Jose Rizal's dream to establish a colony in North Borneo for the disenfranchised farmers of Laguna and Batangas.] Allow me to post a bit of trivia on Rizal's plan on migrating Filipinos to Borneo: He began writing the El Filibusterismo in Calamba. While in London, he made some changes in the plot and revised some chapters. He made more chapters in Paris, Madrid and Briarritz. He finished the manuscript on March 29, 1891 and had it printed in Ghent. The El Filibusterismo came out of the press on September 18, 1891. On October 18, 1891, Dr. Rizal boarded the steamer Melbourne for Hong Kong. During his voyage he started to write his third novel ("Makamisa") in Tagalog. This novel was intended for Tagalog readers but never finished
