Defect of Spanish Colonial

Rule
No

stability in Philippine Government

Frequent changes in the government of

Spain brought also political instability in
the Philippines
From 1837-1897, the Philippines was
ruled by 50 Spanish governor generals,
each serving an average of 1 year and 3
months in office.

 Filipinos

were not given a voice in their

own government.

Their previous representation in the Spanish

Cortes (law making body in Spain) from
1810-1837, was not restored.
Only minor government offices were
opened to the Filipinos
Ventura de los Reyes the only Filipino who
became part of the Spanish Cortes in 1812.

Defective administration of Justice

Courts were really courts of injustice.

Spanish judges were ignorant and dishonest
Judicial trials were slow and expensive

No equality before the law

Spaniards were given more rights and

privilege that Filipinos
Justice was for the rich and influential and not
for the poor.

 Many

Spanish officials were corrupt,

abusive, and incompetent.

Filipinos were maltreated and regarded as

inferior beings.

Rise of propaganda
movement

 The

Propaganda Movement was a

peaceful crusade for reforms

It is not a revolutionary movement.

It

began in 1872, after GOMBURZAs

execution, and ended in 1892, when
Rizal was exiled to Dapitan.

This movement was carried on by means

of pen and tongue.
