Study Notes

Rizal and the Philippine Revolution of 1896

  • Rizal's views on the 1896 Revolution are often misrepresented as opposing revolution, prioritizing reform, and rejecting armed resistance.
  • This misinterpretation stems from a false dichotomy between Ilustrados (educated elite) and the masses, and a tendency to portray historical figures as conflicting.
  • Rizal and Bonifacio had shared goals, though employing different methods, to establish a Filipino nation.

Rizal's Separatist Stance

  • Historian Renato Constantino criticized Rizal, viewing him as an American-sponsored hero serving colonial interests and neglecting the interests of the Filipino masses.

  • Floro Quibuyen countered by emphasizing the need for careful analysis of Rizal's writings, correspondence, and work to understand his evolving stance.

  • Factors contributing to Rizal's separatist views include:

    • Disillusionment with Spain's handling of Filipino aspirations for Hispanization. Example: in a letter to Blumentritt in 1887, Rizal stated the Philippines rather than Spain should seek its assimilation.
    • The Calamba Hacienda Case (1887-1889) deepened his concerns about Spanish injustice, leading to increasingly radical views.
    • Arrests of Filipinos opposing friars.
    • Spanish persecution directly impacting Rizal's family through deportations and property damage. This solidified his conviction to return and fight for the Philippines.

  • In a letter to Mariano Ponce (July 1890), Rizal expressed his intention to return to the Philippines "and let God say what is to happen."

Rizal's Ambivalence Towards Revolution

  • Rizal aspired to independence, using reform as a means, as seen in his proposed constitution for La Liga Filipina in 1892.
  • Rizal is described as a "reluctant revolutionary" by Historian Teodoro Agoncillo
  • Key concerns:
    • Widespread Filipino education and development of national consciousness through liberty and education are priorities for Rizal.
    • The importance of self-improvement and righteous behavior in Filipinos is essential before a revolution.
    • Rizal was apprehensive about an armed revolution, fearing the potential for bloodshed and the possibility of new local tyrants replacing the colonizers.
    • Rizal drew from Social Darwinism, suggesting a peaceful path to freedom through evolution.

Rizal and the Katipunan

  • Rizal, according to Pio Valenzuela's 1896 statements, was against armed resistance(also as originally stated).
  • A later statement Valenzuela added in his 1914 memoir, however, recounted Rizal's support of the Revolution if certain conditions were met, as long as the movement was led by suitable individuals.
  • While the 1914 memoir is questioned, other historical evidence doesn't offer details of a direct clash between Rizal and Bonifacio in the Philippines.

Rizal's Public Statement and the Revolution

  • Rizal's December 1898 manifesto, intended to clear his name, did not advocate support for revolution, but instead for a more opportune time and method to achieve independence without bloodshed.
  • Judge Advocate General's claim: Rizal recognized that the revolution was "premature" and not likely successful at the time. He suggested a less-violent approach for the future and suggested that Filipinos improve themselves.
  • The general Filipino populace, largely unaware of Rizal's specific views, understood him as a martyr and inspiration for resistance.
  • Rizal's words became "rallying cries" interpreted as messages of salvation and resurrection.
  • The image of Rizal being perceived as the Tagalog Christ. Rizal's death served as a re-enactment of the Passion of Christ.
