northern part of Mindanao, which was under
the missionary jurisdiction of the Jesuits,

life was tediously unexciting but was abundantly fruitful
with varied achievements. He practiced medicine, pursued
scientific studies, continued his artistic and literary
 works, widened his knowledge of languages, established a
school for boys, promoted community development projects,

mangoes, cacao, santol, and mangosteen. His new home was
called Talisay. On March 8, Rizal’s own house was
completed. It was simply constructed with nipa roof, post,
and rafters of unhewn wood, as he himself describes it in
his poem “Mi Retiro”.
