resistance to the end of their
rule in 1898.

themselves
as
the

Why all these revolts

failed?

Absence of national leader

Lukewarm spirit of
nationalism among Filipinos

Inadequate training and

preparation for warfare

The Development and

Growth of Filipino
Nationalism

Nationalism
It is the love of ones country and
people.
It is a feeling of oneness that binds the
people to a common past and a
common identity.
It includes pride in ones cultural
heritage, support for the countrys
aspirations, patriotism and advocacy
of national independence.

What facilitated the

development of Filipino
nationalism?

1. Influx of liberal ideas from Europe

2. Introduction of modern technology
3. The opening of Philippines to world
trade
4. The opening of the Suez Canal
traveling to other countries exposed
the Filipinos to modern ideas of liberty.
5. The rise of new middle class- occupied
a high position in society because of
their wealth and prestige. They also
criticized the unequal treatment of the
Spaniards to the Filipinos.

6.Secularization Issue
Two kinds of priest during the Spanish Regime
a.Regular- Spanish priests who belong to any of
the religious orders.
b.Secular- Priest who obtained their religious
training in the Philippines who were under the
direct control of the bishops and archbishops.
Filipino priests were not only denied access to
the parishes but some of them were removed
from their parishes to accommodate the regulars .
This event turned out to be a racial discrimination
against Filipino secular priests.

7. Cavite Mutiny- Soldiers and workers at

the Cavite Arsenal rebelled against the
withdrawal of their privileges of nonpayment of taxes and exemption from
forced labor.
8. Trial and execution of GOMBURZA
9. Disillusionment over Spanish rulecommon sufferings under tyrannical rule
of the Spaniards fostered a feeling of
unity among Filipinos.
