The Development
of Filipino
Nationalism

Causes of Filipino
Revolts
1. The desire to regain our
lost freedom.
2.The Spanish
abuses/oppression.

3. Agrarian complaints or the

loss of the Filipino lands.
4. The Religious intolerance
of the Spanish authorities..

All Revolts, from Lakandula

to Apolinario Dela Cruz had
failed. There were two
reasons why our early
revolts against Spain failed:

1.The Absence of
Nationalism
2.Lack of National
Leaders.

The Meaning of Nationalism

Nationalism is simply love of
country with all its inhabitants.
A state of awareness that a
nation does exist and is made of
people who owe allegiance not
only to a tribe, clan, or region nor
to any religious or political entity.

Factors that
contributed to the
birth of Filipino
Nationalism:
1.The opening of the Philippines
to the international or world
trade.
2. The Rise of the middle class.
3.The secularization
controversy.
4.The influx of Liberal ideas

5. The Opening of the Suez

Canal.
(Ferdinand De Lesseps)
7. The Martyrdom of
Gomburza.

Propaganda Movement
The unjust execution of
fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose
Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora
was a turning point in the
history of the Philippines.
It marked the beginning
of a new era as the
propaganda period.

Propaganda Movement

A peaceful campaign
organization using literary
endeavor as mouthpiece to
publicize the political,
economic and religious
problems in the colony.

Among their specific goals

were:
>Representation of the
Philippines in the
Cortes(Spanish parliament).
>Secularization of the clergy;

>Legalization of Spanish and

Filipino equality;
>Creation of a public school
system independent of the
friars.

service) and bandala (forced sale

>Guarantee of basic freedom of
speech and association
>Equal opportunity for Filipinos
and Spaniards to enter
government service.

Reasons for the failure of the

Propaganda Movement
When the time came the financial
support from the Philippines gradually
lessened until finally it was put to an end;
Due to leadership crisis;

With the failure of the

Propaganda Movement, the
Filipinos gave up the last
ditch of hope to peaceful
means. Andres Bonifacio
led the Filipinos to a new
phase of social and
political awareness marked
by the founding of
Katipunan.
