Rizals Secret Mission

Why rizal chose beckett family house

The place was very accessible to the British

Museum where Antonio de Morgas Sucesos
de las Islas Filipinas was located

Aims of the newspaper:

It intended to expose the realsituation in

the Philippines under Spanish occupation
It wanted to serve as a venue forliberal and
democratic ideas
It purported to presen tpeacefulreformin
the Philippine society and politicalstructure

Effects of the newspaper:

The writings exposed the injustices and

abuses of the Spaniards
The newspaper was banned in the
Philippines because of its subversive and
provoking articles
Censorship and prohibition of meetings
and assemblies were strictly enforced

The Dominican friars owned most of the

estates in Calamba
Their capital increased because of the
unregulated mode of increase of the rentals
paid by the tenants
The friars failed to contribute something to
town fiestas or to the development of the
whole town
Interest rates where arbitrarily increased
without considering the plight and welfare of
the poor Calamba people

Rizal wanted to observe the culture,

customs, languages, commerce, industries,
governments, and laws not just only of
Spain but also of different European nations
Such observation may be useful in
releasing the entire Philippines from the
abuses and oppression of the Spanish
tyranny
Realizing that this mission was kept from
Don Francisco and Doa Teodora, Jose Rizal
wrote a farewell letter begging for his
parents forgiveness
In the letter of Paciano to his younger
brother dated May 20, 1882, Paciano told
Rizal that Don Francisco was saddened by
his departure and was worried about the
expenses of Jose Rizal in Spain
