KABANATA IV: PANAHON ng KILUSANG PROPAGANDA
Sanhi ng paglaganap ng damdaming makabayan:
Paniniil, pagsasamantala, at paghamak sa mga Pilipino
Suliranin sa sekularisasyon at maling pamamalakad ng pamahalaan at simbahan
Pakikipagkalakalang pandaigdig ng Pilipinas
Pagkabuo ng "middle class" o gitnang uri
Pagpasok ng diwang liberal
Pag-alsa ng mga kawal at manggagawa sa arsenal sa Cavite
Pagbitay sa tatlong paring martir
Kilusang Propaganda:
Pinangungunahan nina Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma. Fanganiban, Pedro Paterno, at iba pa
Umanib sa masoneria at sa Asociacion Hispano-Filipino
Itinatag ang pahayagang La Solidaridad
Ang naging kasangkapan sa pagpapahayag ng kani-kanilang kuru-kuro
Mga sanaysay at ibang lathain
Layunin ng pagbabago
Tinutuligsa ang di mabuting ginagawa ng mga prayle
Laban sa mga prayle ang namamayaning damdamin
Mga manunulat at ang kanilang mga akda

NOLI ME TANGERE AT EL FILIBUSTERISMO
Ang Noli Me Tangere ay inihandog sa kanyang bayan samantala ang El Filibusterismo ay sa tatlong paring sina Jose Burgos, Mariano Gomez at Jacinto Zamora.
Naglalaman ng mga sakit ng bayan, di tamang edukasyong ikinalat ng mga prayleng Kastila, mga diwastong pamamalakad na iminulat sa atin hinggil sa pamahalaan at simbahan.
Marcelo H. Del Pilar
Born in Cupang, San Nicolas, Bulacan
Worked as a court clerk and "official de mesa" before finishing his law degree
Influenced by his teacher Herminigildo Flores to love the country and fight for its rights
Known for his straightforward and honest writings in Tagalog, which made him popular among the common people
Founded and edited the Tagalog newspaper "Diariong Tagalog" in 1882
Used various pen names in his writings, such as Plaridel, Piping Dilat, Dolores Manapat
Became the editor of the newspaper "La Solidaridad" in Madrid, replacing Graciano Lopez Jaena
Died of tuberculosis and was buried in Barcelona
Works of Marcelo H. del Pilar
"Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Lupa" (Love for the Native Land) - a translation of Rizal's poem "Amor Propio" published in Diariong Tagalog in 1882
"Kaiigat Kayo" - a satirical response to Padre Jose Rodriguez's criticism of Rizal's "Noli Me Tangere"
"Ang Cadaquilaan Ng Dios" (The Greatness of God) - an essay criticizing the friars but expressing love for nature
"Sagot Ng Espanya Sa Hibik Ng Pilipinas" (Spain's Response to the Plea of the Philippines) - a Tagalog poem responding to Herminigildo Flores' poem "Hibik ng Pilipinas sa Inang Espanya" (Plea of the Philippines to Mother Spain)
"Dasalan At Tocbohan" is a satirical parody of the catechism, specifically targeting the friars. Written by del Pilar in Barcelona in 1888, it gained him the nickname "pilibustero" from Rizal. Rizal praised it as a prime example of Tagalog humor and genius. This parody features altered prayers, questions, and answers from the catechism to criticize the friars. While some argue it is disrespectful to religion, del Pilar's aim is to critique the friars, not God. Let's explore some excerpts from this work.
Graciano Lopez Jaena
Graciano Lopez Jaena's writing style was persuasive, fiery, fearless, and powerful.
He was considered the Demosthenes of the Philippines.
He wrote a hundred speeches.
He went to Barcelona to seek refuge from the persecution of the Spanish friars and government officials.
He founded and led the newspaper La Solidaridad, which served as the mouthpiece of the Propaganda Movement in 1889.
He was a member of the Asociacion Hispano-Filipino, an organization that aimed for change.
He wrote "Fray Botod" in Jaro, Iloilo in 1876, four years after the Cavite uprising.
The character Fray Botod was described as greedy, ambitious, and unworthy of being a servant of the church.
The term "botod" in Bisaya means a large belly, implying that the friars only cared about indulging themselves and not the spiritual well-being of the people.
The friars would demand exorbitant fees for baptizing the dead, disregarding those who couldn't afford it.
They used the names of God and the Virgin Mary to extort money.
Fray Botod would prioritize attending to those who could pay him handsomely, and if someone couldn't pay, he would delegate the task to his assistant.
Sometimes, he would engage in gambling.
Graciano Lopez Jaena died of tuberculosis on January 20, 1896.
