THE RISE OF

FILIPINO
NATIONALISM
THE CAMPAIGN FOR
REFORMS
PROPAGANDA
MOVEMENT
The PROPAGANDA MOVEMENT (1872-1892) was the first
Filipino nationalist movement, led by a Filipino elite and
inspired by the protonationalist activism of figures such as José
Burgos and by his execution at the hands of colonial
authorities. Propagandists were largely young men, often
mestizos and creoles whose families could afford to send them
to study in Spanish universities in Madrid and Barcelona.
There, they encountered the tumult of 19th century political
movements inspired by Enlightenment thought, individual
rights, constitutionalism, and anti-clericalism.
Goals Specifically, the Propagandists aim were:

✣ Representation of the Philippines in the Cartes Generales, the

✣ Spanish Parliament;
✣ Secularization of the clergy;
✣ Legalization of spanissh and Filipino equality;
✣ Creation of a Public school (government funded) public school system independent of the
friars;
✣ Abolition of the polo (labor service) and vandala (forced sale of local products to the
government).
✣ Guarantee of basic freedoms of speech and freedom of association.
✣ Equal opportunity for Filipinos and Spanish to enter government service;
✣ Recognition of the Philippines as a province of Spain;
✣ Secularization of Philippine parishes; Recognition of human rights
 FILIPINO
REFORMISTS
 At a young age, his religious mother sent him to a
seminary in Jaro, feeling that priesthood was the noble
profession for her son. However, his study of religion
and the atmosphere in the seminary did not prevent him
from unleashing his energies against the oppressors of
his country and people.

Lively and intelligent, he took writing early in life and

produced a tale entitled "Fray Botod" in 1874. The
satirical novel ridiculed the friars as abusive, cruel, lazy,
Graciano Lopez Jaena greedy and immoral, who spoke of saintly verses but
Dec. 18, 1856 - Jan. 20, 1896 could not see their own wrongdoings.

A patriot, physician, and man of letters who was an inspiration to the
Philippine nationalist movement. The son of a prosperous landowner, Rizal
was educated in Manila and at the University of Madrid. A brilliant
medical student, he soon committed himself to the reform of Spanish rule
in his home country, though he never advocated Philippine independence.
Most of his writing was done in Europe, where he resided between 1882
and 1892.
He published his first novel, Noli me tangere (The Social Cancer), a
passionate exposure of the evils of Spanish rule in the Philippines. A
sequel, El filibusterismo (1891; The Reign of Greed), established his
reputation as the leading spokesman of the Philippine reform movement.
He published an annotated edition (1890; reprinted 1958) of Antonio
Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, hoping to show that the native
people of the Philippines had a long history before the coming of the
Spaniards. He became the leader of the Propaganda Movement,
contributing numerous articles to its newspaper, La Solidaridad, published
in Barcelona

enlightened Filipino ilustrados, or bourgeoisie, against
Spanish imperialism. Born in Kupang, Bulacan, to cultured
parents. He studied at the Colegio de San José and later at
the University of Santo Tomas, where he finished his law
course in 1880

follies.
