CONTENT Reflection Questions: 1. What do you know about the Propaganda Movement and La Solidaridad? 2. Who were the proponents or advocates of this movement? 3. What did Rizal and the rest of the members dream to accomplish with this movement? 4. What events transpired prior to Rizal’s execution? 5. Would you agree with Rizal’s decision to return to the Philippines? What is the Propaganda Movement? It was the first Filipino nationalist movement from 1872 to 1892. It was led by a Filipino elite (mostly Filipinos in exile abroad) and inspired by the pro-nationalist activism of people like the GomBurZa after their execution. The members were called propagandists. Majority of the members were mestizos or of Spanish-descent whose well-to-do families could finance their studies in Madrid and Barcelona.

(Enlightenment was also known as the Age of Reason in Europe. History.com mentions that Enlightenment believers in Europe challenged the conventional administration of power and espoused the view that human conditions can be made better by doing some reasonable refinements in governments.) The Propaganda Movement’s main goal was to create reforms in the Philippines. It is an assimilationist movement that aimed to increase Spanish awareness of the needs of its colony. 1. They wanted the Philippines to become a province of Spain, not merely a colony. (What do you think were the reasons why the propagandists thought that it was better to be a province than a colony of Spain?) 2. They sought the expulsion of the Spanish friars from the Philippines and the secularization of the Philippine parishes. 3. Equal opportunities for Filipinos and Spain to enter government service 4. Abolition of the polo (labor service) and vandala (forced sale of local products to the government) 5. As a cultural movement, they wanted to demonstrate the intellectual sophistication of the young Filipino elite through writing and the arts to show that the Filipino is on par with their Spanish peers. 6. Creation of a school system independent of the friars 7. Guarantee of basic freedoms of speech and association and recognition of human rights 8. Restoration of the Philippine representation in the Cortes It targeted the Spanish government and public but as an elite movement, it failed to engage with the wider Filipino population. The Spanish government had little interest in the conditions of the Philippines. This led to the movement receiving very little support.

Despite the failure of the movement, it still generated a political consciousness that fed into the nationalist revolution of 1896 and the struggle for independence that followed.

The first issue came out in February 15 of 1889. It was transferred to Madrid in November 15 of the same year with Marcelo H. Del Pilar as the new editor (until November 15, 1895) Purpose of La Solidaridad 1. To voice out to the Spanish government the plight of the Philippines including the abusiveness of the friars 2. To advocate liberal ideas and progress 3. To champion the legitimate aspirations of the Filipino people for democracy. It was under the leadership of Del Pilar when the movement had stronger and bolder reforms. For almost seven (7) years, La Solidaridad became the instrument for the propagandists to be heard. Coming Home Again When Rizal planned to come back to the Philippines again, his brother, Paciano, was against it. As a compromise, he relented that Jose returns to the East, near enough so that his parents and relatives could visit him, without the Spaniards disturbing him. He left for Hong Kong.

Basa initially paid for Rizal’s fare to Hong Kong. He applied for his license to practice medicine while in Hong Kong. His friendship with Dr. Lorenzo P. Marquez helped him start his practice in Hong Kong.

This was the “Borneo Colonization Project”.

It is divided into three political constituencies: one part is under Indonesia, another part is under Malaysia and the last part is under Brunei.) In March 7, 1892, he negotiated with the British authorities in charge of the North Borneo Company and was offered 100,000 acres of land free of charge for 99 years. He continued writing even with his lucrative practice. He translated The Rights of Man (Declaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen) from French to Tagalog, Ang Mga Karapatan ng Tao. The beliefs and principles contained in the document became the foundation for humanity’s quest for liberty. Britannica.com encapsulates the main point of The Rights of Man (as contained in Article 1): “… men are born and remain free and equal in rights.” Figure 12 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen Jean Jacques Francois Le Barbier (Public Domain) He tried to finish a third novel, Makamisa, in Tagalog but gave it up. Paciano has also started translating Noli Me Tangere to Tagalog. He wrote “A la Nacion Española” (To the Spanish Nation”), an appeal to Spain to right the wrongs done to the Calamba tenants. Jose Ma. Basa thought of the idea of an organized group of Filipinos toward the attainment of the liberty of the Filipinos. This was later named “La Liga Filipina” Return to the Philippines He wanted to face Governor General Despujol on the fate of his North Borneo project since the governor general remained silent on Jose Rizal’s petition.

On his arrival, he was met by Apolinario Mabini, Andres Bonifacio, Ambrosio Salvador, Pedro Serrano Laktaw, and other patriots to form the La Liga Filipina. La Liga Filipina A civic league of Filipinos established for the socio-economic life of the people Rizal wrote the Constitution of the Liga as well as its provisions while he was in Hong Kong. Figure 14 The cover page of the Constitution of La Liga Filipina (Public Domain) The motto of the Liga: UNUS INSTAR OMNIUM (One Like All) The aims of La Liga Filipina: o To unite the whole archipelago into one, compact and homogenous o Mutual protection o Defense against all violence and injustice o Encouragement of education, agriculture, and commerce o Study and application of reforms This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.  10 Rizal’s Arrest While in a meeting with Gov. Gen. Despujol, printed leaflets of Probres Frailes were shown to Rizal. The former insisted that they were found in the pillow cases of Lucia. Pobres Frailes was a satire written by Fr. Jacinto, criticizing the Dominican friars for amassing riches contrary to their supposed monastic vow of poverty. Rizal was arrested and was ordered exiled to Dapitan, North Zamboanga. Exile in Dapitan Rizal was not accorded the due process of the law and was deported to Dapitan. He arrived there on July 17, 1892. This lasted for four years. Upon arrival in Dapitan, he was handed over to Captain Ricardo Carnicero, the political military governor of Dapitan. He had a house, a clinic, and a school while in Dapitan. He helped in the livelihood of the people. He taught the people to run a cooperative to ensure that they have an income in buying and selling abaca and its products. He studied native medicinal plants so he can prescribe these to his patients.

Figure 16 Josephine Bracken (Public Domain) Pio Valenzuela (a significant personality for the Philippine Revolution) arrived in Dapitan with a blind man, but was actually there to impart to Rizal the intents of the revolution. Dr. Ferdinand Blumentritt updated Rizal on world events. Blumentritt also suggested that Rizal volunteers his services to the Spanish government and join forces as a doctor in Cuba as a means to end his exile. Rizal’s request was granted and was given a safe conduct pass. He returned to Manila on board the steamer España. The Final Chapter of His Life The Philippine Revolution broke out while Rizal was on board España. He was arrested while cruising the Mediterranean Sea, was imprisoned in Barcelona and was immediately deported back to Manila. In Manila, he was imprisoned in Fort Santiago. He was tried on the charges of rebellion, sedition, and illegal association.
