    THE ARRIVAL OF RIZAL IN SPAIN
    • Prior to the arrival of Rizal in Spain, many Filipino students were already
    studying there like Pedro Paterno and Gregorio Sancianco who were both
    active Filipino nationalists. When Rizal arrived in Spain in 1882, there
    was an atmosphere of activism led mostly by students. Around this time,
    Spain’s government was in disarray because the newly adopted 1876
    constitution created a power vacuum. As political parties tried to
    consolidate their power and politicians tried to secure their personal
    agendas, shifting from one political bloc to another became common.
    Corruption was prevalent in the Spanish government. Furthermore, a
    series of government and cabinet reorganizations followed shortly after
    every changed of party alignment.

    The illustrados
    In addition, many people in Spain were illiterate because of the lack of
    primary and secondary schools. Most importantly, the Church was still a
    formidable force in almost every aspect of the Spanish society.

    This was the situation in Spain that Rizal witnessed when he arrived. He
    was also welcomed in an atmosphere of liberalism which exposed him to
    ideas formerly foreign to him. This was when he became aware of the
    concept of assimilation wherein the Philippines can be considered as a
    province of Spain and not just a tributary colony. For Rizal, this meant that
    Filipinos could be equal with the Spaniards.
    Shortly after arriving in Barcelona, Rizal started contributing to the short-
    lived bilingual newspaper, Diariong Tagalog , together with Marcelo H. del
    Pilar. Most of Rizal’s contribution were focused on the idea of national
    regeneration through education. Likewise, Rizal also con-
    tribute to other publications led by Graciano
    Lopez Jaena. Jaena was the first to lead a series
    of protests in writing against the injustices of
    the Spaniards in the Philippines in the news-
    paper Los Dos Mundos. Later on, Rizal found
    himself writing side-by-side with Jaena’s
    criticisms against the Spanish colonial regime.
    Rizal the Reformist by Martino Abellana (1960)
    In 1883, Rizal’s resentment against the Spaniards intensified when he
    received a letter from his brother Paciano. The letter informed him about
    the new Calamba parish priest, Father Villafranca, who was threatening
    their father and demanding for advance rental payments.

    In 1884, Jaena and Rizal delivered speeches at the Exposición de Bellas


    Artes in Madrid where two Filipino painters were given recognition. Juan
    Luna received an award for his Spoliarium and Felix Resurrección Hidalgo
    for his Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho. In their speeches,
    Jaena, condemned the abusesof the friars and the Spanish colonial
    government in the Philippines, whereas Rizal encouraged the Filipino
    youth to follow in the footsteps of Luna and Hidalgo.
    Spoliarium by Juan Luna
    Rizal’s speech received various interpretation
    both from Spain and the Philippines. In the
    Philippines, Rizal’s speech was considered
    seditious. Many believed that Rizal could never
    return to the Philippines again as long as it was a
    colony of Spain.
    It was in 1885 that Rizal became more active in contributing to various
    newspapers. In 1888, Rizal joined an organization composed of Filipino
    liberals exiled in Spain, the La Solidaridad. The organization aimed to
    raise the awareness of Spain on the needs of its colony, the Philippines.
    Galicano Apacible, Rizal’s cousin, issued a newspaper of the same name.
    It was published in the Barcelona. Jaena and later on, del Pilar edited the
    newspaper while Rizal was an active and significant contributor. It serve
    as the principal organ of the reform movement. Most of the Articles
    featured in La Solidaridad talked about the possibility of the Philippines
    becoming a province of Spain with equal rights before the law, and
    recognition of the freedom of speech and assembly.
    La Solidaridad
    One of the Rizal’s most important contributions was the
    Letter to the Young Women of Malolos published on February
    22, 1889. It recognized the efforts and bravery of 20 women
    from Malolos who wrote a petition letter to a Governor General
    Valeriano Weyler to allow them to put up a night school where
    they could study the spanish language under the tutelage of
    Teodoro Sandiko. Though the petition was initially denied
    because of the pressures and influence of the friars, the
    perserverance of the women of Malolos prevailed.
    Jose Rizal also made a fearless forecast on the future of the
    Philippines within a hundred years in his work, The
    Philippines a Century Hence. It analyzes the various causes of
    the miseries suffered by the Filipino people under the Spanish
    colonizers. In connection to this, Rizal wrote another essay
    published in La Solidaridad in Madrid in 1890 titled The
    Indolence of the Filipino, as a response to the accusations of
    the Spaniards that the Filipinos were indolent.
    Rizal argued that several factors can be
    identified for such and most can be rooted in the
    abuses commited by the Spaniards directed to the
    Filipinos. Jose Rizal’s outstanding talent and
    passion for writing, as evidenced by his
    numerous works, greatly antagonized the friars
    who were the usual target of his criticisms.
    PROPAGANDISTS PEN NAMES
    After Jaena quit writing for the group , del Pilar assumed leadership. There were stories that
    Rizal was offered the position of editor but rejected it as he thought it might create rift between the
    two propagandistas. Soon, Rizal also stopped writing for the newspaper to dedicate his time in
    addressing the calamba agrarian dispute that was further fueled by the eviction of the Mercado
    family from the Dominican lands.
