PHILIPPINE SITUATION PERCEPTION ON THE EFFECTS TO DR. JOSE

DURING SPANISH ERA RIZAL
1 THE POLITICAL SYSTEM The Philippines has been severely affected by
Spain's political instability, in which the
government has failed to implement consistent
and fair policies towards the Filipino people.
These made Rizal decide that he had enough of
this corrupt administration and aims to change the
government system by awakening Filipino
patriotism.
2 RELIGIOUS SYSTEM The Friars had abused the religious system. Rizal
realized that they are making religion a shield and
stepping stone to gain power and influence. He
opened up the misdeeds of its colonial
administration through his novels.

3 ECONOMIC SITUATION The economic situation during the 19th century

gave rise to the upper and middle classes,
including Rizal, making him receive an education.
Therefore, he learned the spirit of nationalism in
school as he witnessed the true agenda of the
Spaniards.
4 FEUDAL SYSTEM Rizal saw how the Church takes a position on the
state's issues and how this contributes to injustice
between the Friars, the landowners, and tenants.
These motivated Rizal to call for church reform--
secularization of parishes from the state.
5 EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM The friars controlled the education system,
emphasizing more religion, has no academic
freedom, racial discrimination, and limited
curriculum. These contributed to Rizal's goal in
education, which is to advocate for the literacy
rights of his fellow citizens.
