ATTACKERS OF RIZAL’S NOVEL

 Rizal became more contentious when he revealed the deplorable condition of
Calamba Hacienda. His finding were the following:
a. The Estate of the Reverend Dominican Fathers is not situated in this locality but in
fact constitutes the whole town;
b. The products of the Estate have increased…and diminished remarkably for the
tenants;
c. The Estate, not spending anything for the town’s welfare, not contributing either to
festivals or to schools, or to the development of agriculture or to public
improvements;
d. The discouragement of the farmers on seeing that the lands they have so
laboriously cultivated and cleared are taken away arbitrarily for the futile reason
or without reasons;
e. The absence of good faith on the part of the Estate.
