The young Filipinos were acquainted with a world different from the Philippines: freedom of speech against the church, church doctrine and the state; proclamation of liberties and progress. The environment would become a STIMULUS for CALLING OF CHANGES in the / for the Philippines. The grave defects of Spanish government in Spain led to the disillussionment of the Filipinos. Rizal noted in his travels the progress of the places he visited; and recognized their native

Brindis: 1884 Speech in Honor of Luna and Hidalgo

"The patriarchal era of Filipinas is passing. The illustrious achievements of her children are no longer consummated within the home. The Oriental chrysalis is leaving the cocoon. The tomorrow of a long day is announced for those regions in brilliant tints and rosy dawns, and that race - lethargic during the historical night while the sun lit up other continents - awakens again, powerfully moved by the electric shock produced in it by contact with the Western peoples, and it clamors for light, life, the civilization that time once gave as its legacy, confirming in this way the eternal laws of 3/18/12

Brindis: 1884 Speech in Honor of Luna and Hidalgo

3/18/12

To you Filipinas owes the beauty of the diamonds that stud her crown. She has given the stones, Europe has polished them. And we contemplate proudly, you your work, ours the flame, the breath, the materials provided.

The same nature that births such phenomena also intervenes in those brushstrokes

why Hidalgo is all light, color, harmony, sentiment, purity, as Filipinas is in her moonlit nights, in her quiet days, with her horizon that invites to meditation, 3/18/12 cradle gently

Hidalgo's painting beats the purest sentiment,3 the ideal expression of mournfulness, beauty and vulnerability, the victims of brute force, and it is because Hidalgo was born beneath the brilliant azure of that sky, the lullaby of its sea breezes, amid the serenity of its lakes, the poetry of its valleys and the majestic harmony of its hills and

Rizal Comments on Friar Domination in the Philippines

"If the mother teaches her child her language in order to understand his joys, his needs or pains, Spain as a mother also teaches her language to Filipinas, despite the opposition of those short-sighted midgets who secure their position, INCAPABLE OF LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE and not weighing the consequences. Sickly wetnurses, corrupted and corrupting, who tend to snuff out all legitimate feeling and pervert the hearts of nations, sowing in them the seeds of discords such that later

Philippines or Spain?
"Luna and Hidalgo belong as much to you as to us. You love them and we see in them generous aspirations, precious examples. The Filipino youth of Europe, always enthusiastic, and some other persons whose hearts remain youthful because of the disinterestedness and enthusiasm that mark their actions, offer a crown to Luna, a modest gift, small, yes, compared to our fervor, but it is the most spontaneously and freely offered gift of all the ones presented 3/18/12 until now.

Retana: Madrid Speech called for Equality

In truth, it was impossible to ask for more grace of bearing and bravery: RIZAL speaks in the name of Filipinas, not with the submission that was demanded of that country's children by the Spaniards, but as an ally who is such out of personal choice:we are TWO PEOPLES; we are TWO RACES; we are as much men as you and for this very reason we want what you want. Are we denied what we believe we deserve? Look to the future! The circumstances of the present cannot be eternal! No Filipino, and even less in the presence of prestigious Spaniards, had ever dared to say anything like it. RIZAL wanted the union of Spain and the Philippines to be preserved; but he demanded, for that union to prevail, that the Filipinos should have identical rights as the Spanish. He considered that to live without them diminished the dignity of his race, and he refused to 3/18/12
