Study Notes
Nineteenth Century Economic Development in the Philippines
- The nineteenth century saw a significant growth of the Philippine economy, especially after 1830.
- The country's foreign trade grew substantially between 1825 and 1895, with the total trade reaching 62,000,000 pesos in 1895, a dramatic increase from 2,800,000 pesos in 1825.
- This growth in the export economy contributed to increased prosperity in the Philippines during the period.
The Influential Role of Friars
- Friars held immense influence over the ordinary Filipinos in the late 19th century.
- Filipinos who had not received higher education in Manila or abroad remained deeply rooted in traditional religious practices and beliefs, viewing their parish priests as paternal figures and protectors against oppressive government officials.
- This influence of the friars made them a primary target for Filipino nationalists like Rizal as they saw religion as a tool for perpetuating Spanish power and suppressing Filipino aspirations.
Jose Rizal's Education at Ateneo Municipal
- Rizal started his basic education at the school of Maestro Justiano Aquino Cruz, alongside his brother Paciano.
- At the age of 11, he entered Ateneo Municipal, having passed the entrance exam in Christian doctrine, arithmetic, and reading at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran.
- Initially, Father Magin Ferrando hesitated to admit Rizal due to his late registration and frail physique. However, he was ultimately admitted with the assistance of Father Manuel Xerez Burgos.
- Rizal graduated from Ateneo with a Bachelor of Arts degree with highest honors.
- During his first year, he faced difficulties due to limited Spanish proficiency, but quickly excelled, becoming "emperor" – the top student – after the first week.
- During his second year, he regained his top position, demonstrating his dedication to his studies.
A Deeper Look at Rizal's Early Life
- There are conflicting perspectives regarding Rizal's entrance into Ateneo. Some argue his admission was due to "palakasan" (favoritism), highlighting the role of Father Manuel Xerez Burgos' influence.
- During his summer vacation in 1873, Rizal visited his mother in prison, concealing this visit from his father.
- Rizal's early life is marked by both academic success and displays of physical courage. His encounters with bullies like Pedro and Andres Salandanan demonstrate his willingness to fight for himself, but also his acceptance of defeat, showcasing his self-awareness and resolve.
