With the new men that will spring from her bosom and the remembrance of the past, she will perhaps enter openly the wide road of progress and all will work jointly to strengthen the mother country at home as well as abroad with the same enthusiasm with which a young man returns to cultivate his father’s farmland so long devastated and abandons due to the negligence of those who had alienated it.

masses possessed a revolutionary consciousness born of praxis under colonial oppression
ilustrados provided a coherent political theory to the inchoate revolutionary consciousness of the “inarticulate masses” (European liberalism)

“Veneration without Understanding”:
Filipino’s misplaced veneration of Rizal as key factor in the lack of understanding and
disregard of the Philippine Revolution

What are the historical facts?
How was Rizal read in the nineteenth century and the Philippine Revolution?
![Page 15: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Of all the nineteenth century heroes, why was Rizal the most venerated in the nationalist movement?
What was it in Rizal’s life and work that struck a chord in the popular imagination?
What was Rizal’s nationalist agenda? How was it received by the revolutionaries?
Were the Liga and the Katipunan perceived as ideologically and strategically opposed organizations?
![Page 16: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Did the revolutionaries perceive Rizal as an assimilationist and opposed to the Revolution?
Did they perceive Reform and Revolution as opposed political agendas (the way the Left in contemporary times take them to be?)

Setsuo Ikehata: Ileto’s as a challenge to the dominant Agoncillo-Constantino paradigm
Rizal’s opposite and irreconcilable “texts”:
1. Liberal reformist (modern, elite)2. “Tagalog Christ” (peasant folk)
Rizal assimilated into the “realm of the familiar” (in terms of the Pasyon idiom)

Ikehata: Constantino could not think of “ideology” or “theory” except in its “Western European modern rationalized” sense
Ikehata: Katipunan suffused with a pre-existent worldview that
articulated liberation using the language and structure and logic of the Pasyon
“independence” ≠ “kalayaan” Ileto reproduced Agoncillo’s dichotomy
in a non-Marxist paradigm

Critical examination of his correspondences (1887-1892) show that Rizal was a subversive.
A different Rizal from what the Americans and Constantino constructed and propagated

as early as 1887, Rizal had expressed that independence through peaceful struggle is impossible and that seeking assimilation was a mistake
![Page 24: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Filipinos had long wished
for Hispanization and they were
wrong in aspiring for it.
It is Spain and not the Philippines who
ought to wish for the assimilation of the
country.
(Letter of 21 Feb. 1887; Rizal-Blumentritt, 52)
![Page 25: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A peaceful struggle shall always be a dream, for Spain will never learn the lesson of her South American colonies… But under the present circumstances, we do not want separation from Spain. All that we ask is greater attention, better education, better government, one or two representatives, and greater security for our persons and our properties. Spain could always win the appreciation of Filipino if she were only reasonable. But, quos vult perdere Jupiter, prius dementat!
(Letter of 26 Jan 1887; Rizal-Blumentritt, 44)
![Page 26: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Was Rizal COUNTER-
REVOLUTIONARY?
![Page 27: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I can assure you that I have no desire to take part in conspiracies which seem to me premature and risky to the extreme. But if the government drives us to it, that is to say, when there remains to us no other hope than to seek ruin in war, when all Filipinos prefer to die rather than to endure their miseries any longer, then I too shall advocate violent means.
Letter of June 19, 1887; Rizal-Blumentritt
![Page 28: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Campaign for reforms and the struggle for independence are not mutually exclusive.
From 1887-1892: Rizal had no illusions about the Reform Movement though he appreciated its tactical value.
![Page 29: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
I believe that only intelligence can redeem us, in the material and in the spiritual… Parliamentary representation will be a burden on the Philippines for a long time. If our countrymen felt otherwise than they do, they should reject any offer of such representation but, the way we are, with our countrymen indifferent, representation is good. It is better to be tied in the ankles than elbow to elbow, What can we do!
(Letter to del Pilar of April 1890)
![Page 30: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The propaganda for assimilation is necessary but separatist propaganda should be even more active for the practical thing is to seek adherents in shaking off the yoke [of Spain entirely] since we would not obtain [assimilation] and even if we did (which is almost impossible) we would work for independence, banding together, making ourselves into apostles to gain men and money…
(Antonio Luna to Rizal, Jan. 1892)
![Page 31: Ppt0000001](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/5473a3f9b4af9feb058b4579/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rizal: the root of the problem was colonialism itself
In the long run, independence, not assimilation
Filipinos should work for the enlightenment of the Filipinos in the Philippines.
In the Noli, prior to 1887, he still hoped for an enlightened government.
