Philippine Nationalism in its earliest form; sparking revolutions that free Filipinos from the Spaniards.
REFLECTION
 |
| Modern-day nationalism. |
The form of Literature as of this moment is primarily
dominated by the Spaniards. It is the period where novels are made that has a
message for revolution or a call of Philippine nationalism to freedom. Such
kind of enlightenment takes place when most of the Illustrados (the middle
class) are studying in Europe, plus any other factor like the Suez Canal, the
Education Decree of 1863, and most of all, the execution of GomBurZa. Both the
works of Jose Rizal and Pedro Paterno are depicting the System that the
Spaniards are prevailing in the Philippines at that time. Also, it is the
introduction of essay, the novel, and print journalism.
This discussion gives me an insight on the heightened
significance of the rising enlightenment on the path of patriotism. Most of
these things are the result of factors that have taken place in Europe,
particularly the French Revolution. Works like Noli Me Tangere, and El
Filibusterismo also contributes on the Philippine Revolution. The Illustrados
founded the Propaganda movement to do essays that are against the masses. While
the Katipunan uses Tagalog in making literary works for the unity of the
masses.
The overall point of discussion is that literature was
the key to make the people knowledgeable. Thus, further enlighten the people
who read the literary works and to know the reality about everything evil.
Finally, the determination by these people who are involved in the revolution
gives us the freedom we have today.
