A.
Conduct a personal research on the difference of a Propaganda Movement from a Revolutionary
Movement. Give the most significant difference. Give at least 3. Use comparative table in
presenting your answer.
PROPAGANDA MOVEMENT
 The propaganda movement consisted of
a series of actions involving the
employment of literary works such as
books, newspapers, and flyers - for
example, Noli Me Tangere, El
Filibusterismo, La Solidaridad, and
others. Through literature and indirect
confrontation, this movement tried to
modify government policies.
Furthermore, they did the most of their
job in Spain, where they were safer
than in the Philippines.
 The propaganda campaign attempts to
make the Philippines a Spanish
province. The fact that the Philippines
was only a Spanish colony did not sit
well with the movement. In other
words, their purpose was to assimilate
the Philippines completely under
Spanish rule. To put another goal in
perspective, only Spanish citizens were
permitted to hold government
positions. This initiative aimed to
ensure that Filipinos and Spaniards
alike had equal access to government
jobs.
 The propaganda movement was
primarily made up of people who had
gotten a good education. Rizal, who
studied medicine, Marcelo Del Pilar,
who studied law and philosophy in
college, and Lopez Jaena, who studied
arts but worked in the medical sector,
are some famous instances.
REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT
 The revolutionary movement
confronted Spanish rule in a direct
manner. They employed arms, most
notably the bolo, as well as a few
firearms, in their fights to liberate the
Philippines rather than simply reform
government policies, led by Bonifacio.
In the Philippines, the revolutionary
movement was based. They were in a
difficult situation and hoped to
outsmart their opponents.
 The revolutionary movement seeks
independence for the Philippines. The
movement was subjected to severe
repression by governments such as
Spain's. As a result, they aimed for the
liberation of their own country from
persecution. This resulted from the
government's and the church's
corruption. Most of the time,
government officials did not even
follow the law. The clergy, on the other
hand, was pressuring people to attend
church in order to collect money,
despite their vow of poverty as a
Christian.
 The revolutionary movement in the
Philippines was led by ordinary
Filipinos. Because they were
oppressed, they did not obtain a lot of
schooling. They were not allowed to
get school at the time because
education could lead to a much earlier
insurrection, which was not in the
government's best interests.
A. What were the aims of the 19th Century Propaganda Movement in the Philippines? Give
3 only.

 The propaganda campaign attempts to make the Philippines a Spanish province.

The fact that the Philippines was only a Spanish colony did not sit well with the
movement. In other words, their goal was to complete the Philippines' absorption
into Spain, giving the Philippines a chance to be on an equal footing with Spain.
Moreover, being on equal footing with Spain could possibly end the oppression
that the Philippines experienced during that time.

 The propaganda campaign intended to restore the Philippines' former

representation in the Spanish parliament, the Cortes Generales.The Cortes
Generales are Spain's bicameral legislative bodies, consisting of the Congress of
Deputies and the Senate. This was done to give the Filipino people a say in
Spain's power. As a result, the Philippines would be on an equal footing with
Spain. As a result, the tyranny of Filipino citizens would come to an end.

 The propaganda campaign also attempted to eliminate the polo y servicio, or

compulsory labor service, as well as the bandala, or forced sale of local products
to the Spanish government. The bandala was a method of raising funds for wars
against other European countries. Polo y servicio, on the other hand, compelled
all males between the ages of 18 and 60 to work for the government for no pay.
The residents' lives were drastically affected by the requirement to perform
personal community service and the forced sale to the government.
