THE
PROPAGANDA
MOVEMENT




             1872 to 1892
AIMS OF THE PROPAGANDA
       MOVEMENT
They called for the assimilation of the
Philippines as a province of Spain

>so that the same laws will be applied in
the Philippines
>the inhabitants of the Philippines will
experience the same civil liberties and
rights as that of a Spanish citizen
1. It aimed for legal equality
A      between Spaniards and
       Filipinos
I   2. Philippine representation
       in the Spanish Cortes

M      (parliament)
    3. Free speech and
       association
S   4. And an end to the annual
       obligation of forced labor
How?
Through
Writings
Graciano Lopez
Jaena
who left the
Philippines for Spain
in 1880 after
publishing a satirical
novel, Fray Botod
(Father Fatso)
In1889 he started the
newspaper,
La Solidaridad (Solidarity),
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.
Jose Rizal
His more popular works
were his two novels Noli
Me Tangere (Touch Me
Not) and
El Filibusterismo
(The Subversive)
published in 1886 and
1891
The novels portrayed the
authoritarian and abusive
character of Spanish rule in
the colony .

 Despite their ban, the books
 were smuggled into the
 Philippines and widely read.
But then, the
PROPAGANDA
MOVEMENT WAS
A FAILURE.
Why did the Propaganda Movement fail?

1.   The Spanish government did not agree to
     any of its demands.
2.   The friars were busy collecting money and
     making themselves rich
3.   Many of the members wanted true change
     but were cautious of their wealth.
4.   There was a quarrel between Rizal and
     Del Pilar
5.   No strong leader aside from Rizal
Rizal came home and on
July 3, 1892 he established the
     LA LIGA FILIPINA

                 3 days later,
                 July 6, 1892,
             Rizal was arrested on
                orders of G.G.
             Despujol and exiled
                  on July 7 to
                  DAPITAN,
                 Zamboanga.
