Study Notes
The Propaganda Movement and La Solidaridad
- Prior to Rizal's arrival in Spain, Filipino students like Pedro Paterno and Gregorio Sancianco were already active in the nationalist movement.
- Spain´s government was in a state of disarray due to the 1876 constitution that created a power vacuum. Political parties were vying for power, and corruption was prevalent.
- The Church held significant influence in Spanish society, and most Spaniards were illiterate due to a lack of primary and secondary education.
- Rizal´s exposure to the concept of assimilation in Spain led him to believe that the Philippines should be considered a province of Spain, with Filipinos having equal rights to the Spaniards.
- Rizal contributed to the Diariong Tagalog newspaper alongside Marcelo H. del Pilar, focusing on national regeneration through education.
- The Circulo Hispano-Filipino was an organization formed to unite Filipinos studying in Spain. It supported a bi-weekly newspaper called Revista del Circulo Hispano-Filipino that only lasted until 1883.
- The Los Dos Mundos periodical published in 1883 was spearheaded by Graciano Lopez Jaena. It advocated for equal rights and progress for overseas Hispanic colonies.
- In 1884, Jaena and Rizal gave speeches at the Exposicion de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where Juan Luna (for his Spoliarium) and Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo (for his Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho) were awarded for their paintings. Jaena condemned the abuses of the friars and the Spanish government, while Rizal encouraged Filipino youth to emulate Luna and Hidalgo.
- The España en Filipinas newspaper was published in 1887 with the support of Filipinos, creoles, and mestizos in Madrid. It was short-lived due to internal conflicts and differing views.
- La Solidaridad, established in 1888 by Filipinos in exile, aimed to bring awareness to Spain about the needs of the Philippines.
- The La Solidaridad newspaper was printed in Barcelona initially with the support of Mariano Ponce and Pablo Rianzares, and edited by Graciano Lopez Jaena and later by Marcelo H. del Pilar.
- La Solidaridad aimed for the Philippines to become a province of Spain with equal rights - the right to freedom of speech and assembly, and representation in the Cortes.
- La Solidaridad published its first issue on February 15, 1889. The staff's primary goal was to combat reaction, impede retrogression, and embrace liberal ideas. They sought: 1) Philippine representation in the Cortes, 2) freedom of the press, and 3) the end of exile without due process.
- The Letter to the Young Women of Malolos (1889) by Rizal acknowledged the courage of 20 women who sought to establish a night school to learn Spanish.
- Rizal's The Philippines a Century Hence (1889) predicted the Philippines' future within a century.
- The Indolence of the Filipino (1890) by Rizal refuted the accusations of Spanish colonizers about Filipino indolence, arguing that the alleged indolence was rooted in the very abuses of the Spanish government and its agents.
- La Solidaridad published articles about Spanish politics, criticized friars, and advocated for reforms in the Philippines. It also printed letters from foreign correspondents and literary works.
- La Solidaridad gained more support with contributors like Jose Rizal, Dominador Gomez, Jose Maria Panganiban, Antonio Luna, and Ferdinand Blumentritt. Some contributed anonymously.
- La Solidaridad changed editors when del Pilar moved to Madrid, with the first issue printed in Madrid on November 15, 1889.
- Rizal and del Pilar differed in their approach to achieving reforms - Rizal believed in engaging Filipinos, while del Pilar focused on influencing Spanish leaders.
- In 1891, Filipinos in Madrid elected a leader to unite their community. Rizal was elected after two days of voting. This resulted in a rift, and Rizal stopped contributing to La Solidaridad, focusing instead on his novels.
- La Solidaridad published its last issue on November 15, 1895.
- The Propaganda movement used journalism as a tool to advocate for social and political reforms.
- Rizal emerged as a key figure in the Propaganda movement, using his writing skills to advocate for the emancipation of the Filipinos from Spanish colonial rule.
