The early propaganda movement in the Philippines had no formal organization, but writers worked individually while collectively advocating for Filipino causes. Notable events that brought propagandists together included the abolition of the tobacco monopoly in 1881 and victories for Filipino artists in Madrid in 1884. The propagandists desired to publish their own newspaper and formed groups like the Circulo Hispano-Filipino to unify and strengthen their purpose. Key publications included Espana en Filipinas in 1887 and Rizal's Noli Me Tangere, which increased tensions between proponents for and against reforms.
