FAQs
When is the the duration of the Lakbay Jose Rizal Project?
To avail of tokens and the Kalakbay ni Gat Jose Rizal certificate, pilgrims or tourists should have their brochure passport stamped from June 19, 2011 to June 19, 2012. But even after June 19, 2012, the stamping project will continue for tourists.
Aside from the Kalakbay ni Gat Rizal Certificate, what are the tokens for the pilgrims?
Tokens may range from books or shirts or domestic air tickets, etc. To make things more exciting, the organizers will pre-determine the order of prizes.
Where are the stamp sites located?
Some stamp sites are located on-site where the curators can stamp the brochure or passport (i.e. Rizal Shrines). While some stamp sites are across the street or the nearest tourism office such as in Rizal Park, Malolos, San Fernando and Dumaguete.
Do I need do anything aside from get the stamps?
You should also register in all sites so it can be validated by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines after you have completed all the stamps. This will also help us ensure that all the winners have indeed visited the twenty-seven Rizal sites all over the country.
Why are there only twenty-seven Rizal sites for stamping?
The inter-agency committee limited the sites to twenty-seven because these can be easily visited and no appointments are needed. Some sites are privately-owned and cannot be visited. Other Rizal sites are included as optional sites.
Where can the tourists get the brochures?
Initially, the brochure or passports will be available in the DOT Tourism Information Office in the DOT Building. But these will soon be available in the DOT Regional Offices nationwide. We will be limiting the number of brochures or passports to individuals. For school fieldtrips, we will coordinate with the Department of Education and the Commission for Higher Education. The DOT may print flyers and just let the teachers explain the importance of each site.
Where can the tourist get additional information on the sites?
We are now finalizing a section in the DOT (www.tourism.gov.ph) and NHCP (www.nhcp.gov.ph) websites to feature additional information regarding the sites like “how to get there” and “other attractions nearby.”
What is the difference between the Lakbay Jose Rizal @150 and the Rizal One-Stop Heritage Trail?
Lakbay Jose Rizal@150 encourages people to travel to the various Rizal sites all over the country, it’s like a pilgrimage or site visit to actually see and experience the sites. The Rizal One-Stop Heritage Trail on the other hand is a complete one-stop destination in Rizal Park (Rizal Relief Map) where one can already learn about the Rizal sites displayed around the map. So all Filipinos have a chance to learn more about the journey and heroism of Dr. Jose Rizal whether they go to all the sites around the country or simply by visiting Rizal Park.

Around 3:00 this afternoon, I decided to visited the DOT office at T.M Kalaw street near the Children's Playground at Rizal Park to get my Rizal@150 Passport. When I got there, the guard directed me to Room 106.
 |
| DOT Building at Kalaw street. |
As I entered the room, a staff asked my purpose for being there. I told him that I'll get a Rizal@150 Passport. He then looked at me for about 10 secs and started to interrogate me, "How old are you?"
I told him that I'm already 19, ready and eager to follow the heritage trail.
"Are you sure you're 19? you looked like a high school student," he then said.
I laughed and told him again that I'm 19 already, a fourth year college student taking BS Biology at PLM.
His next question was, "What is Biology?"
Ugghhhrrrr!! I want to scream and tell him to just give me the passport, but I didn't, I simply answered his question, "It's the study of life, the way things reacts to stimuli, the way things grow and reproduce, the way things gain and consume energy, the way things... blah blah"
It took me about 10 minutes before I finally got a Rizal@150 Passport. I was planning to visit the sites around Manila but thanks to that guy, it was already 4 in the afternoon, most sites will close after an hour. So I just decided to start the tour na lang on June 19, 2011.

hey, check my own post on rizal@150 if you intend to complete all 27 ;P
ReplyDeleteHi there! :) Are you planning to complete all 26? (It's just 26, not 27) I am also planning to complete all NCR sites by next week. (and maybe, all other sites before the end of the year) So far, I have collected 6 stamps, all of them were from the Zamnorte sites. Unfortunately, we weren't able to pass by Rizal Farm and Dipolog Cathedral so I wasn't able to complete the 8 stamps for the Mindanao sites. :))
