Rizal wrote the "Letter to the Young Women of Malolos" in London in 1889 at the request of Del Pilar. He was inspired to write after young women in Malolos petitioned to open a night school against the objections of the local priest. In the letter, Rizal encourages women's education and asserts that mothers should raise their children to serve the nation and defend their rights and dignity, rather than submit blindly to authority. He stresses the importance of morality, honor and education for Filipino women.
Rizal Chapter 22: Exile in Dapitan (Gregorio F. Zaide)Arvin Garing
Rizal lived in exile in far-away Dapitan, a remote town in Mindanao, which was under the missionary jurisdiction of the Jesuits, from 1892 to 1896. This four-year interregnum in his life was tediously unexciting, but was abundantly fruitful with varied achievements. He practices medicine, pursued scientific studies, continued his artistic and literary works, widened his knowledge of languages, established a school of boys, promoted community development projects, invented a wooden machine for making bricks, and engaged in farming and commerce. Despite his multifarious activities, he kept an extensive correspondence with his family, relatives, fellow reformists, and eminent scientists and scholars of Europe, including Blumentritt. Reinhold Rost, A.B. Meyer, W. Joest of Berlin, S. Knuttle of Stuttgart, and N.M. Keight of Prague.
Beginning of Exile in Dapitan. The steamer Cebu which brought Rizal to Dapitan carried a letter from Father Pablo Pastells, Superior of the Jesuit Society in the Philippines, to Father Antonio Obach, Jesuit parish priest of Dapitan. In this letter, Father Superior Pastells informed Father Obach that Rizal could live at the parish convent on the following conditions:
1. "That Rizal publicly retract his errors concerning religion, and make statements that were clearly pro-Spanish and against revolution.
2. "That he perform the church rites and make a general confession of his past life.
3. "That henceforth he conduct himself in an exemplary manner as a Spanish subject and a man of religion."
Rizal did not agree with these conditions. Consequently, he lived in the house of the commandant, Captain Carnicero. The relations between Carnicero (the warden) and Rizal (the prisoner) were warm and friendly.

Carnicero was charmed by Rizal's fine qualities and personality. They ate together at the same table and had many friendly conversations. Carnicero came to know that Rizal was not a common felon, much less a filibustero. He gave good reports on his prisoner to Governor Despujol. He gave him complete freedom to go anywhere, reporting only once a week at his office, and permitted Rizal, who was a good equestrian, to ride his chestnut horse.

Captain Carnicero, thinking that a high Spanish official was coming, hastily dressed in gala uniform, ordered the town folks to gather at the shore, and himself rushed there, bringing a brass band.
The mail boat, Butuan, brought no Spanish officials but the happy tidings that the Lottery Ticket No. 9736 jointly owned by Captain Carnicero, Dr. Rizal, and Francisco Equilor (Spanish resident of Dipolog, a neighboring town of Dapitan) won the second prize of P20, 000 in the government-owned Manila Lottery.

Comparing Ways to Scale Agile at Agile Product and Project Manager MeetupBernd Schiffer
Session "Comparing Ways to Scale Agile" at the Agile Product and Project Manager Meetup in Melbourne, Australia.
These days organisations are looking for support to scale their Agile environment. There’s a difference between having one Agile team on its own, or to have several Agile teams providing value to the customer and interacting with each other.
This session will give an overview and comparison of all the different Agile scaling approaches out there, i.e.:
* Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
* Evidence-Based Management (EBMgt)
* Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
* Enterprise Transition Framework (ETF)
* Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)
* ScALeD Agile Lean Development

To the Young Women of Malolos: Summary and AnalysisGhail Bas
Jose Rizal’s legacy to Filipino women is embodied in his famous essay entitled, “To the Young Women of Malolos,” where he addresses all kinds of women – mothers, wives, the unmarried, etc. and expresses everything that he wishes them to keep in mind.
Rizal's first novel published in Berlin is Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not). This presentation discusses how Rizal struggled in finishing and publishing the novel, its symbols found in the cover page, and its theme. It also includes his grand tour in Europe with Maximo Viola

3. WHERE DID RIZAL WROTE
THE LETTER?
Rizal wrote this famous
letter in Tagalog, while he
was residing in London,
upon the request of M. H.
del Pilar.
4. WHY DID RIZAL WROTE THE
LETTER?
The story behind this letter is this: On December
12, 1888, a group of twenty young women of
Malolos petitioned Governor-General Weyler for
permission to open a “night school” so that they
might study Spanish under Teodoro Sandiko.
5. • Fr. Felipe Garcia, the Spanish parish priest, objected
to the proposal. Therefore the governor-general
turned down the petition. However, the young
women, in defiance of the friar’s wrath, bravely
continued their agitation for the school – a thing
unheard of in the Philippines in those times.
• They finally succeeded in obtaining government
approval to their project on the condition that
Señora Guadalupe Reyes should be their teacher.
6. • The incident caused a great stir in the Philippines
and in far-away Spain. Del Pilar, writing in
Barcelona on February 17, 1889, requested Rizal to
send a letter in Tagalog to the brave women of
Malolos.
• Accordingly, Rizal, although busy in London
annotating Morga’s book penned this famous letter
and sent it to Del Pilar on February 22, 1889 for
transmittal to Malolos.
7. To the Young Women of Malolos: Summary and
Analysis
Jose Rizal’s legacy to Filipino women is
embodied in his famous essay entitled, “To the
Young Women of Malolos,” where he addresses
all kinds of women – mothers, wives, the
unmarried, etc. and expresses everything that he
wishes them to keep in mind.
8. SUMMARY
• The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars –
not all of the priests in the country that time embodied
the true spirit of Christ and His Church. Most of them
were corrupted by worldly desires and used worldly
methods to effect change and force discipline among
the people.
9. • The defense of private judgment
• Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess – as
evidenced by this portion of his letter, Rizal is
greatly concerned of the welfare of the Filipino
children and the homes they grow up in.
• Duties and responsibilities of Filipino mothers to
their children
• Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her
husband – Filipino women are known to be
submissive, tender, and loving. Rizal states in
this portion of his letter how Filipino women
ought to be as wives, in order to preserve the
identity of the race.
• Counsel to young women on their choice of a
lifetime partner
10. RIZAL’S MESSAGE TO FILIPINO WOMEN
• Jose Rizal was greatly impressed by the fighting
spirit that the young women of Malolos had
shown. 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 received by men in terms of
education.
11. •
During those days young girls were not sent to
school because of the universal notion that they
would soon only be taken as wives and stay at
home with the children. Rizal, however,
emphasizes on freedom of thought and the right to
education, which must be granted to both boys
and girls alike.
12. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF FILIPINO
MOTHERS TO
THEIR CHILDREN
• Rizal stipulates a number of important points in this
portion of his letter to the young women of Malolos. 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 as
they are told, even if the very nature of the task would
violate their rights as individuals.
13. QUALITIES MOTHERS HAVE TO POSSESS
Rizal enumerates the qualities Filipino 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 behavior for men around her.
14. RIZAL’S ADVICE TO UNMARRIED MEN AND WOMEN
• Jose Rizal points out to unmarried women that they
should not be easily taken by appearances and looks,
because these can be very deceiving. Instead, they
should take heed of men’s firmness of character and
lofty ideas. Rizal further adds that there are three things
that a young woman must look for a man she intends to
be her husband:
1. A noble and honored name
2. A manly heart
3. A high spirit incapable of being satisfied with
engendering slaves.
15. ANALYSIS
“To the Women of Malolos” centers around five salient
points (Zaide &Zaide, 1999):
1. Filipino mothers should teach their children love of
God, country and fellowmen.
2. Filipino mothers should be glad and honored, like
Spartan mothers, to offer their sons in defense of their
country.
3. Filipino women should know how to protect their
dignity and honor.
4. Filipino women should educate themselves aside from
retaining their good racial values.
5. Faith is not merely reciting prayers and wearing
religious pictures. It is living the real Christian way
with good morals and manners.
