Exercise 3.3.2 Tripartite

A nonviolent crusade or campaign for reforms is known as a propaganda movement. Illustrators

coordinated it and took part in it. Dr. Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar, and Graciano lopes are the
propaganda movement's three key leaders. The movement's primary objectives were to promote
pleasure and semisecret in their native country. The following are the additional goals: Recognizing the
Philippines as a province of Spain, Secularization of the Clergy, and the Elimination of Polo and
Vandalism. and the legalization of equality for Hispanics and Filipinos. Rizal frequently had the most
thorough tripartite understanding of Philippine history when compared to del Pilar and Lopez Jeana.
Likewise, is the most constant in disputing the self-imposed "civilizing mission" of Spain in the
Philippines. It is clear that Rizal had the most severe view of the three-part historical ideology of the
Propaganda. As opposed to Jeana and Rizal, unlike del Pilar, saw the issue more comprehensively and
from the standpoint of the overall cultural evolution of the Filipino people, unlike the real possession of
political power by any social group, whether local or foreign.

Rizal quite naturally believes in the innate ability of Jeana and del Pilar. Despite the Filipino
people's potential for advancement, he believed that the disease plaguing the Filipinas was actually
brought on by the colonial system as a whole the sheer fact of Spanish dominance. In this situation,
monkish supremacy was merely a symptom of the cancer that was eating away at the core of the
country. Journalist Graciano López Jaena, a Filipino immigrant to Barcelona, started La Solidaridad in
1888. La Solidaridad acted as the voice of the Propaganda Movement throughout its existence, calling
for changes to the Philippines' political and religious systems. The young José Rizal y Mercado was a
major contributor to La Solidaridad. Noli me tangere (1887), also known as Touch Me Not, and El
filibusterismo (1891), also known as The Reign of Greed, are two political works by Rizal that had a
significant influence on the Philippines. While López Jeana and Pilar stayed abroad, Rizal returned to the
Philippines in 1892 and established the Liga Filipina, a modest reform-minded organization that was
steadfastly allied with Spain and uttered no proclamations of independence. Similar to the Cavite
mutiny, the Spanish government overreacted when they felt threatened. Rizal was immediately
detained and sent to a lonely island in the south.

Jaena first believed that the mission might be accomplished in conjunction with progressive
forces in Spain, which, in its liberal image as Motherland, had traditionally been deemed to be amenable
to its "daughter" Filipinas. But by 1891, Jaena already considered the Philippines to be her motherland.
In the same year, he confessed in Rizal in a letter from Barcelona that "nothing can be anticipated from
Spain nor from its government, that if the Philippines wishes to enjoy rights and liberties, she herself
must struggle for her redemption. Roberto H. Del Pilar and Jaena shared a similar understanding of
Philippine history. However, it accepted the Spanish perception of the Philippines' lower cultural status
at the time of Spain, which served as a "mother" to "daughter" Filipinas in the course of its civilizing
mission. In truth, Spain had an internalized "white man's burden" to aid the Filipinas advance toward
civilization in the Plaridelian story of the blood bargain between Sikatuna and Legazpi.
 The only question now was how the friars and their perspective of Philippine history were to be
consigned to their proper place of historical retirement, in del Pilar's opinion, given the Filipino people's
disaffection with them since the Cavity Mutiny in 1872, which, in its wake, produced on era of
persecutions, an atmosphere of denunciations and calumnies, and "the impossibility of life in law."
Therefore, the third phase in Philippine history would be one of advancement, ideally in a shared future
with the Mother Country. Del Pilar did not feel the need to be more specific after this. In his Filipinas
dentro de cien anos, Rizal attempted to look into the future. He stated that the absorption of the
Filipinos into the Spanish-speaking country, where they would experience "egalitarian laws and free and
liberal reforms," was his preferred course of action. Such was the future Rizal foresaw for the third era
in the history of the Filipinas, notwithstanding any potential threats. And it was inevitable if Spain did
not "give six million Filipinos their rights so that they may be truly Spaniards." In fact, Rizal had confided
in Blumentritt in a letter just before Filipinas dentro de cien anos was serialized in La Solidaridad that
Padro de Tavera believed that "if conditions do not become better, within ten years, there will be a
great revolution." This was on May 8, 1889, and Rizal
