Synopsis

Jos Rizal was born on June 19, 1861, in Calamba, Philippines. While living in Europe, Rizal
wrote about the discrimination that accompanied Spain's colonial rule of his country. He
returned to the Philippines in 1892, but was exiled due to his desire for reform. Although he
supported peaceful change, Rizal was convicted of sedition and executed on December 30,
1896, at age 35.

Early Life
On June 19, 1861, Jos Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda was born in Calamba in the
Philippines' Laguna Province. A brilliant student who became proficient in multiple languages,
Jos Rizal studied medicine in Manila. In 1882, he traveled to Spain to complete his medical
degree.

- Writing and Reform

While in Europe, Jos Rizal became part of the Propaganda Movement, connecting with other
Filipinos who wanted reform. He also wrote his first novel, Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me
Not/The Social Cancer), a work that detailed the dark aspects of Spain's colonial rule in the
Philippines, with particular focus on the role of Catholic friars. The book was banned in the
Philippines, though copies were smuggled in. Because of this novel, Rizal's return to the
Philippines in 1887 was cut short when he was targeted by police.

Rizal returned to Europe and continued to write, releasing his follow-up novel, El
Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed) in 1891. He also published articles in La Solidaridad, a
paper aligned with the Propaganda Movement. The reforms Rizal advocated for did not include
independencehe called for equal treatment of Filipinos, limiting the power of Spanish friars
and representation for the Philippines in the Spanish Cortes (Spain's parliament).
Exile in the Philippines

Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1892, feeling he needed to be in the country to effect
change. Although the reform society he founded, the Liga Filipino (Philippine League),
supported non-violent action, Rizal was still exiled to Dapitan, on the island of Mindanao.
During the four years Rizal was in exile, he practiced medicine and took on students.

- Execution and Legacy

In 1895, Rizal asked for permission to travel to Cuba as an army doctor. His request was
approved, but in August 1896, Katipunan, a nationalist Filipino society founded by Andres
Bonifacio, revolted. Though he had no ties to the group, and disapproved of its violent methods,
Rizal was arrested shortly thereafter.
 After a show trial, Rizal was convicted of sedition and sentenced to death by firing squad.
Rizal's public execution was carried out in Manila on December 30, 1896, when he was 35
years old. His execution created more opposition to Spanish rule.

Spain's control of the Philippines ended in 1898, though the country did not gain lasting
independence until after World War II. Rizal remains a nationalist icon in the Philippines for
helping the country take its first steps toward independence.

The 19th Century World of Jose Rizal

Growth and Development of Nationalism

Nationalism is a sense of loyalty or psychological attachment that members of a nation share,
based on a common language, history, culture, and desire for independence. It is a feeling that
drives a people together as a nation. It is love of country expressed in devotion to and advocacy
of national interest and independence.
The growth of nationalism can be attributed to two major revolutions of the earlier century; the
American Revolution of 1776; and the French Revolution of 1789
The American Revolution gave birth to the United States of America. On the other hand, French
Revolution led to the overthrowing of the absolute rule of the Bourbon Dynasty and the
abolition of the feudal system.
The ideology of the French Revolution ; Liberty Fraternity Equality had influenced subject
peoples to cast off the yoke of colonialism by means of armed uprising.
There are three points that stand out in this complex ideology; 1.Nationalism has evolved from
 a real and or imagined cultural unity manifesting itself in a common language, history and
territory. 2.Nationalists have usually sought to turn this cultural unity into political reality so
that the territory of each people coincides with its state boundaries. 3.Nationalist believed that
every nation has the right to exist in freedom and develop its character and spirit.
Negative side of Nationalism; - The ideas of national superiority and national mission can lead
to aggressive crusades and counter- crusades. - Nationalism can also stress differences among
peoples.
Rise and Gradual Spread of Liberalism and Democracy -The principal ideas of liberalism-
liberty and equality- were first realized successfully in the American Revolution and then
achieved in part in the French Revolution. This political and social philosophy challenged
conservatism in the European continent. -Liberalism demanded representative government as
opposed to autocratic monarchy, equality before the law as opposed to legally separate classes.
The idea of liberty also meant to specific individual freedoms: freedom of the press; freedom of
speech,freedom of assembly; and freedom from arbitrary arrest.
Rise and Gradual Spread of Liberalism and Democracy -Democracy became a way of life in
many European countries, like Britain, Belgium, and Switzerland. -Democracy was gradually
established thru the following means: *promulgation of laws that advance democracy;
*undertaking of reforms thru legislation; abolition of slavery; *adoption of a liberal
constitution; providing the citizens the *opportunity to propose laws; *adoption of manhood
suffrage; and *granting of political, economic and social rights to the people.
The Industrial Revolution One of the most crucial developments in the 19th century was the
Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution refers to the transformation of manufacturing
brought about by the invention and use of the machines. This development started in England
and later on spread into Belgium, France, Germany, and even in the United States.
Positive effects of industrial revolution; The rise of the factory system; Mass production of
essential and non-essential goods; Improvement of peoples standard of living; Greater
urbanization of society; Beginnings of specialization or division of labor; Invention of labor-
saving devices; The beginnings of industrial capitalism; Fostering of liberalism and
nationalism; and Encouragement of peoples mobililty.
Negative effects of Industrial Revolution; -Widening of gap between the rich and the poor;
-Unending economic warfare between labor and capital and other environmental problems
-Beginning of child and women labor; and -Intensification of imperialistic rivalry between and
 among industrialized countries. In the Philippines, it caused the displacement of the farmers
from their lands.
The Advancement of Science The triumph of science and technology had at least three
significant consequences. - First, everyday experience and innumerable scientists impressed the
importance of science on the mind of ordinary citizens. -Second, as a science became more
prominent in popular thinking, the philosophical implication of science spread to broad sections
of the population. Technical advances led the people to develop optimistic faith in mans
capability to achieved progress. -Third, the methods of science acquired unrivaled prestige after
1850. For many, the union of careful experiment and abstract theory was the only route to truth
and objective reality.
Optimism and Confidence in Progress Optimism or faith in society and mans ability to
progress was brought about by the advancement of science, the coming of steam-powered
industry, and the spread of liberalism and socialism. The optimism of the century was summed
by Marquis de Condorcet in his work, Sketch for the Historical Picture of the Progress of the
Human Mind. He saw that the strongest reason for believing that nature has set no limit to the
realization of our hopes and foresaw the abolition of inequality between nations, the progress
of equality within nations, and the true perfection of humanity. Progress was now independent
of any power that might wish to halt it and will never be reversed.
Optimism and confidence in progress can be gleaned from the achievements of men in the 19th
century. Notable among these were the following; -Extensions of human rights to many people;
-Promotion of higher education for men and women; -Education for nationalism in schools;
-Investment in science to serve mankind; -Improvement of public health thru the establishment
of numerous, hospitals; and -Emergence of realistic literature, depicting the life of the time
