2. EL FILIBUSTERISMO
Objectives:
1. Compare and contrast the characters, plot, and theme of Noli and El
Fili; and
2. Value the role of the youth in the development of the society.

3. EL FILIBUSTERISMO
 It is the second novel written by Jose Rizal as the sequel to Noli Me
Tangere.
 it was written in Spanish.
 “The Reign of Greed” in English
 It consists of 38 chapters
 Rizal dedicated El Filibusterismo to the three martyred priests of
Cavite mutiny. The execution of the three priests was significant to the
title of the novel.

4. THE TITLE
 Rizal had to define the word filibustero to his German friend Ferdinand
Blumentritt, who did not understand his use of the word in Noli Me Tangere. in
a letter, Rizal Explained:
 The word filibustero is tittle known in the Philippines. The masses do not
know it yet. I heard it for the first time in 1872 when the tragic executions took
place.
 I still remember the panic that this word created. Our father forbade us to utter
it, as well as the words Cavite, Burgos, ect. The Manila newspapers and the
Spaniards apply this word to one whom they want to make a revolutionary
suspect.
 The Filipinos belonging to the educated class fear the reach of the word. It
does not have the meaning of freebooters; it rather means a dangerous
patriot who will soon be hanged or well, a presumptuous man.

15. THE REASON WHY CRISOSTOMO IBARRA CAME BACK TO SAN
DIEGO AND CHANGE HIS NAME.
 Juan Crisostomo Ibarra came back to San Diego and change for one main
reason which is to visit his father's grave. It was stated in the Book that : “
Ibarra, goes to see his hometown, San Diego, where Maria Clara's family also
has a house. He goes to see his father's grave at the Catholic cemetary and
finds it has been distured”
 The reason why Crisostomo Ibarra change his name is because he wants to
seek revenge against the Spanish.
CENTRAL THEME:
 ideal means of achieving social reform

16. REASONS OF CHANGING THE PLOT AND THEME:
 El Filibusterismo shares the theme “Violence is not the answer” when
Simoun's grand plan thwarted.
 When he asked Father Florentino about the failure of his plan, the friar
answered with “Perhaps He (God) saw there was not justice in the way you
wanted it done.”
 The ways Simoun “wanted it done” was by blowing up the house of Kapitan
Tiyago which had many spaniards with important positions.
 El Filibusterismo is far darker and more brutal than of Noli Me Tangere.
 It had many events of murder, sexual abuse and suicide.
 El Filibusterismo is a massive turning point from Ibarra being idealistic and
open mind Simoun who became vengeful,angry, and somewhat cunning.

17. RELEVANCE TO THE ISSUES IN THE PHILIPHINE SOCIETY
 El Filibusterismo is not a more inspiration to us Filipinos but also a reflection which
taught a lesson of yesterday which still live today. Few of the main purposes of the
novel are: to defend Filipino people from foreign accusations of foolishness
and lack of knowledge, to show how the Filipino people live during Spanish
colonial period and the cries and woes of his countymen against abusive
officials. This novel along with Rizal’s involvement in organizations that aim to
address and reform the Spanish system and its issues led to Rizal’s exile to
Dapitan and eventual execution.

18. RIZAL’S WRITINGS
The Philippines: A century Hence
 “The Philippines a Century Hence” is an essay written by Philippine national
hero Jose Rizal to forcast the future of the county within a hundred years.
Rizal felt that it was time to remind Spanish that the cisrcumstances that
ushered in the French Revolution could have a telling effect for her in the
Philippines.
 This essay, published in La Solidaridad start by analyzing the various causes
of the miseries suffered by the Filipino people:

19.  Spain’s implementation of her military policies because of such laws, the Philippine
population decreased dramatically. Poverty become more rampant than ever, and
farmlands were left to wither.
 Deterioration and disappearance of Filipino indigenous culture when Spain come with the
sword and the cross, it began the gradual destruction of the native Philippine culture .
 Passivity and submissiveness to the Spanish colonizers one of the most powerful forces
that influenced a culture of silence among the natives were the Spanish friars.
 The question then arises as to what had awakened the hearts and opened the minds of
the Filipino people with regards to their plight, Eventually, the natives realize that such
oppression in their society by foreign colonizers must no longer be tolerated.
 One question Rizal raises in the essay in whether or not Spain can indeed prevent the
progress of the Philippines:
 Keeping the people uneducated and ignorant had field. National consciousness had still
awakened, and great Filipino minds still emerged from the rubble.

20. TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF MALOLOS
 Rizal’s legacy to the Filipino women is embodied in the famous essay
entitled, “To the Young Women of Malolos”, where he addresses all the kind
of women- mothers, wives, unmarried, etc.
Summary
 “To the Young Women of Malolos” was written in Tagalog. Rizal penned this
writing when he was in London, in response to the request of Marcelo H. Del
Pilar.
 The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars- not all of the priest in the
country that time embodied the true spirit of Christ and His church.

21. SALIENT POINTS CONTAINED IN THE LETTER ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
THE DEFENSE OF PRIVATE JUDGEMENT
 Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF FILIPINO KOTHERS TO THEIR
CHILDREN
 Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her husband- filipino women are
known to be submissive, tender, and loving.
 Counsel to young women on their choice of lifetime partner.

22. RIZAL’S MESSAGE TO FILIPINO WOMEN
 In his letter, he expresses great joy and satisfaction over the battle they had
fought. In this portion of Rizal’s letter, it is obvious that his ultimate desire was for
women to be offered the same opportunities as those receives by men in terms
of education.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF FILIPINO MOTHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN
 The central idea here, however, is that whatever a mother shows to her children
is what the children will become also. If the mother is always kissing the hand of
the friars in submission, then her children will grow up to be sycophants and
mindless fools who do nothing but do s they are told, even if the nature of the
task would violate their rights as individuals.

23. QUALITIES MOTHERS HAVE TO POSSESS:
 Be a noble wife
 Rear her children in the service of the state- here Rizal gives reference to the women of
Sparta who embody this quality.
 Set standards of behaviour for men around her.
RIZAL’S ADVICE TO UNMARRIED MEN AND WOMEN
 unmarried women should not be easily taken by appearnaace and looks, because
these can be very deceiving. Instead they should take heed of men’s firmness of
characater and lofty ideas.
 Rizal furthers adds this 3 things young women must look for a man:
1. A noble and honored name
2. A manly heart
3. A high spirit incapable of being satisfied with engendering slaves.

24. ANALYSIS
 “ To the Women of Malolos” centers around 5 salient points (Zaide & Zaide 1990)
 Filipino mother should teach their children love of God, country and fellowmen.
 Filipino mothers should be glad and honoured, like Spartan mothers, to offer their
sons in defense of their country.
 Filipino women should know how to protect their dignity and honor.
 Filipino women should educate themselves aside from retaining their good racial
values.
 Faith is not merely reciting prayers and wearing religious pictures. It is living the real
Christian way with good moral and manners.

25. THE INDOLENCE OF THE FILIPINOS
 La Indolencia de los Filipinos, known as, “The Indolence of the
Filipinos.” is an explanatory essay written by Dr. Jose Rizal to explain
the alleged idleness of his people during the Spansih colonizaton.

26. SUMMARY
 The Indolence of the Filipinos is a study of thee causes why the people did not, as was said,
work hard during the Spanish regime. Rizal pointed out that long before the coming of
Spaniards, the Filipinos are industrious and hardworking. The Spanish reign brought about a
decline in economic activities because of certain issues;
 First, the establishment of the Galleon Trade cut of all previous associations of the
Philippines with other countries in Asia and the Middle East.
 Second, Spain also extinguished the natives’ love of work because of the implementation of
forced labor.
 Third, spain did not protect the people against foreign invaders and pirates. With no arms to
defend themselves, the natives were killed, their house burned, and their lands destroyed.
 Fourth, there was a crooked system of education. They only taught repetitive prayers and
other things that could not be used by the students to lead the country to progress. There
were no course in Agriculture, Industry, etc., which badly needed by the Philippines during
those times.

27.  Fifth, Spanish rulers were a bad example to despise manual labor. The officials
reportedd to work at noon and left early, all the while doing nothing in line with their
duties.
 Sixth, gambling was established and widely propagated during those times.
 Seventh, there was a crooked system of religion. The friars taught the native Filipinos
that it was easier for a poor man to enter heaven, and so they preffered not to work and
remain poor so that they could easily enter heaven after they died.
 Lastly, the taxes were extremely high, so much so that a huge portion of what they
earned went to the government or to the friars.

28. ANALYSIS
 It is important to note that the indolenec in the Philippines is a chronic malady, but not
a hereditary one. Truth is, before the Spaniards arrived on these land, the natives
were industriously conducting business with China, Japan, Arabia, Malaysia, and
other countries in the Middle East.
 Another thing that had caused this indolence, is that lack of unity among the Filipino
people.
 It can clearly be deducted from the writing that the cause of the indolence attributed to
our race is Spain: When the Filipinos wanted to study and learn, there were no
schools, and if there were any, they lack sufficient resources and did not present more
useful knowledge;
 It is not only the Philippines, but also other countries that may be called indolent,
depending on the criteria upon which such a label based. Man cananot work without
resting, and if doing so he is considered lazy, they we could say that all men are
indolent. One cannot blame a country that was deprived of its dignity, to have lost its
will to continue building its foundation upon the backs of its people.
