The document summarizes the Propaganda Movement in the Philippines in the late 1800s. It was organized to seek reforms from Spain in response to abuses by Spanish colonizers. Key figures included Graciano Lopez Jaena and Marcelo del Pilar who published the newspaper La Solidaridad to advocate for reforms from outside the Philippines. The movement was inspired by the execution of priests Gomburza and sought greater autonomy and representation for the Philippines but not outright independence from Spain at that time.

• In February 17, 1872, Fathers Mariano Gomez,
Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora (Gomburza), all
Filipino priest, was executed by the Spanish
colonizers on charges of subversion. The death of
Gomburza awakened strong feelings of anger and
resentment among the Filipinos. They questioned
Spanish authorities and demanded reforms. The
martyrdom of the three priests apparently
helped to inspire the organization of the
Propaganda Movement, which aimed to seek
reforms and inform Spain of the abuses of its
colonial government.
• Members of the Propaganda Movement were called
propagandists or reformists. They worked inside and
outside the Philippines. Their objectives were to seek:

– Recognition of the Philippines as a province of Spain


– Equal status for both Filipinos and Spaniards
– Philippine representation in the Spanish Cortes
– Secularization of Philippine parishes.
– Recognition of human rights

• The Propaganda Movement never asked for Philippine


independence because its members believed that once
Spain realized the pitiful state of the country, the
Spaniards would implement the changes the Filipinos
were seeking.
• Graciano Lopez Jaena
who left the Philippines
for Spain in 1880 after
publishing a satirical
novel, Fray Butod
(Father Fatso)

• In1889 he started the


newspaper, La
Solidaridad , that
circulated both in Spain
and the Philippines and
was the medium of the
Propaganda Movement.
• Marcelo del Pilar,
who was active in
the anti-friar
movement. He fled
to Spain in 1888
and became editor
of La Solidaridad.
 The members were from the middle class
families representing the group of Filipino
Intelegencia.
 Jose Rizal: the greatest novelist of the
movement
 He wrote his poetical masterpiece entitled Mi Ultimo
Adios (My Last Farewell)
 Noli Me Tangere (1887)
 El Felibusterismo (1891)
These novels portrayed the
authoritarian and abusive
character of Spanish rule in
the colony . 
 The official organ/ magazine of the
Propaganda Movement
 Graciano Lopez Jaena served as the first
editor
 The first issue was published in Barcelona
Spain on February 15, 1889
 July 7, 1892: Gen. Eulogio Despujol ordered Rizal’s
arrest and imprisonment at Fort Santiago

 July 15: He was put into exile in Dapitan


 This marked the fall of the La Liga Filipina
 Some members, led by Apolinario Mabini, tried to
revive the league but the failed because many
members, including Andres Bonifacio, believed that
it was useless to expect reforms from the corrupt
Spaniards.
