    THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF NATIONALISM Opening of the Philippines to the World

    Aside from Spain and Mexico, the Philippines could now trade with other countries like England, America and France People began to earn more money and gain more capital Foreign banks were put up (Banco Espaol- Filipino, Monte de Piedad, Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China and the Hong Kong- Shanghai Banking Corporation) Filipinos become more aware of the events that took place around them

    The Suez Canal (Egypt)


    When it was opened, Philippine gained better access to the world market. Trips from Manila to Barcelona were shortened therefore allowing faster means of communication between Spain and the Philippines.

    The Onset of Liberal Ideas


    Books, newspapers and other reading materials brought by foreign traders became available to the Filipinos, making them now aware of the Western ideologies (American Revolution and French Revolution- liberty, equality, and fraternity).

    Rise of the Middle Class


    Middle class- composed of families who were able to improve their lives Ilustrados- enlightened group of the society, they studied abroad, they brought in new ideas and noticed the abuses of the Spaniards

    The Secularization Issue


    The regular priests belonged to an order like the Agustinians or Dominicans Secular priests did not belong to any order In 1768, the Jesuits were expelled due to Royal disobedience, leaving now the parishes to the secular priests. However these parishes were slowly given back to the Spanish friars leaving now the seculars without parish to attend to. This became a racial issue. Secularization movement was headed by Father Pedro Pelaez. He later died and Father Jose Burgos continued his work.

    The Rule of Carlos Maria de la Torre


    He encouraged Filipinos to freely communicate with him; did away with the Palace guards; set aside whipping as a means of punishment; and socialized with the Filipinos. He gained Spanish enemies because of his liberal ideas and served for only two years.

    The Cavite Mutiny


    Governor Rafael de Izquierdo (de la Torres successor) denied the privileges (paying tribute and being drafted in polo) of the workers at the Cavite arsenal The Filipinos successfully seized the arsenal but was defeated by the Spaniards the following day They were killed and the others were brought to Manila

    Martyrdom of GOMBURZA
    Spanish friars used the Cavite mutiny to convince Izquierdo that the rebellion was part of a grand plot to overthrow the Spanish government The friars wanted to get back at the Filipino clergies who were pushing reforms in the secularization of the parishes. False evidence were planted and false witnesses were produced On February 19, 1872 Father Mariano Gomes (84), Father Jacinto Zamora (37), and Father Jose Burgos (35) were executed in Bagumbayan (Luneta)
