LaSolidaridad

On February 15, 1889, the first issue of La

Solidaridad came out and its editorial expressed its
aim:
The aims, therefore, of La Solidaridad are described as to collect,
to gather, libertarian ideas which are manifested daily in the field
of politics, science, art, literature, commerce, agriculture and
industry.
We shall also discuss all problems relating to the general interest
of the nation and seek solutions to those problems in high-level
and democratic manner. 

With regard to the Philippines, since she needs the most help, not
being represented in the Cortes, we shall pay particular attention
to the defense of her democratic rights, the accomplishment of
which is our patriotic duty.
That nation of eight million souls should not, must not be the
exclusive preserve of theocracy and traditionalism.
• Isang diyaryo sa wikang Español ang La Solidaridád at naging
pangunahing tinig ng Kilusang Propaganda para sa mga
kailangang reporma sa Filipinas noong panahon ng
kolonyalismong Español. Itinayô ito ng isang samahan ng mga
repormista na La Solidaridad din ang pangalan
• The desire to form a
purely Filipino
organization was fulfilled
with the establishment in
Barcelona on December
13, 1888 of La Solidaridad
• Nilayon ng diyaryo na iparinig sa gobyernong España ang
masaklap na kalagayan ng mga mamamayan sa Filipinas at
ibunyag ang kalupitan ng mga fraile. Sa pamamatnugot ni Del
Pilar, lalong matatapang na reporma ang hiningi ng mga
repormista: Filipinisasyon ng mga parokya; kalayaan sa
pamamahayag, pagsasalitâ, at pagtitipon-tipon; pag-asimila sa
Filipinas bilang probinsiya ng España, at kaugnay nitó,
representasyon sa Cortes ng España at aktibong pakikilahok ng
mga Filipino sa pamamahala ng gobyerno.
• The social, cultural, and economic conditions of the colonial
Philippines was published in La Solidaridad.

• The newspaper published not only articles and essays about

the economic, cultural, political, and social conditions of the
country, but also current news, both local and foreign, and
speeches of prominent Spanish leaders about the Philippines.
•  It was found active on February 15, 1889 and existed up to
November 15, 1895. Its first editor was Graciano Lopez-Jaena
but he was soon succeeded by Marcelo H. del Pilar
• In general, its funds came from the Comite de
Propaganda in the Philippines. Rizal was first
offered the position of its editorship. However,
he declined 
Sa loob ng halos pitóng taón, naging tinig ang La Solidaridád sa
payapang paghingi ng reporma. Wala mang nakamit na
reporma, mahalaga ang pahayagang ito dahil matutunton dito
ang pagyabong ng pampolitikang kaisipan ng mga Filipino;
pinatunayang rebolusyon lámang ang landas sa paglaya; bukod
pa sa naglabas ito ng katangi-tanging mga artikulo na sinulat
nina Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Marcelo H. del Pilar,
Mariano Ponce, Antonio Luna, Jose Ma. Panganiban, at iba pa.

Some PUBLISHED
WORKS in LA
SOLIDARIDAD
On April 25, 1889, La Solidaridad published the letter entitled
"The aspirations of the Filipinos" which was written by
the Asociación Hispano-Filipina de Madrid (English: Hispanic
Filipino Association of Madrid).It pursued desires for:
• Representation in the Cortes
• Abolition of censure
• An expressed and definite prohibition of the existing practices
of exiling residents by purely administrative order, and without
a writ of execution from the courts of justice.
On December 15, 1889, Marcelo H. del Pilar replaced Graciano
López Jaena as the editor of La Solidaridad. Under his
editorship, the aims of the newspaper expanded. His articles
caught the attention of Spanish leaders and ministers.
Using propaganda, it pursued desires for:

• That the Philippines be a province of Spain

• Representation Filipino priests instead of Spanish friars — 
Augustinians, Dominicans, and Franciscans — in parishes and
remote sitios
• Freedom of assembly and speech
• Equal rights before the law (for both Filipino and Spanish
plaintiffs)
• Several writers contributed to La Solidaridad over its six years of
existence, like Antonio Luna, Anastacio Carpio, Mariano
Ponce, Antonio M. Regidor, Jose Maria Panganiban, Isabelo de
los Reyes, Eduardo de Lete, José Alejandrino, and Pedro
Paterno.

One of the most prolific contributors though was Rizal's

confidant Ferdinand Blumentritt, whose impassioned defense of
the Filipino interests was said to have been inspirational to the
other writers and the readers of the newspaper alike.
Ang dyariyong La Solidaridad ay may tatlong bahagi.
Ito ay mga sektion nang iba-ibang subject.

Pampolitika - pinangunahan ni M.H. del Pilar

Panitikan - pinangunahan ni Mariano Ponce
Rekreasyon - pinangunahan ni Tomas Arejola

Nabuwag ang La Solidaridad sa kaubusan ng pondo kaya

naipahayag nila ang kanilang pinakaunang at pinakahuling dyaryo.
May napabalitang may namatay na upang magbigay lamang ng
pondo para sa pahayagan ng La Solidaridad, meron na ring mga
nagkasakit dahil dito. Kaya kalaunan ay kumalas na si Dr. Jose P.
Rizal sa samahan at unti-unting naglaho ang pangkat na La
Solidaridad.
 We are persuaded that no sacrifices are
too little to win the rights and the liberty
of a nation that is oppressed by slavery.
