Introduction
The Philippine Revolution was a major uprising against Spanish colonial rule that took
place from 1896 to 1898. It was led by Filipino nationalist leaders, including Andres
Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo, who sought to gain independence for the Philippines.
The revolution was sparked by a number of factors, including the influence of
nationalist ideas from other countries, and the desire for social and economic reforms.
The revolution ultimately led to the establishment of the First Philippine Republic in
1899, marking the first attempt at self-governance in the country's history.

Period of Active Revolution
The Philippine Revolution was an armed conflict that took
place from 1896 to 1898. It was a struggle for independence
from Spanish colonial rule and marked a significant turning
point in Philippine history. Here is a brief overview of the
major events that took place during the active period of the
revolution:
The Propaganda Movement
The Propaganda Movement was a significant period in Philippine
history during the late 19th century. It was a collective effort by a
group of intellectuals and reformists who sought to awaken the
Filipino consciousness and fight for their rights under Spanish
colonial rule. Led by prominent figures such as Jose Rizal, Marcelo
H. del Pilar, and Graciano Lopez Jaena, the movement made
significant contributions to the Philippine Revolution.
Dr. Jose P Rizal and his
writings
Jose Rizal, often regarded as the national hero of the
Philippines, was a key leader of the Propaganda Movement.
His literary works, particularly the novels "Noli Me Tangere"
and "El Filibusterismo," exposed the injustices and abuses of
Spanish colonial rule. Rizal's writings awakened the Filipino
people to their history, culture, and the need for social and
political reforms. His execution in 1896 for his involvement in
the revolution further fueled the spirit of resistance among
Filipinos.
Marcelo H. Del Pilar "The Great
Propagandist"
Marcelo H. del Pilar, known as the "Great Propagandist,"
played a crucial role in organizing and disseminating the
movement's ideas. He was an influential writer and editor,
using his skills to publish newspapers and articles that exposed
the oppressive nature of Spanish rule. Del Pilar's publication,
"La Solidaridad," served as the voice of the movement, calling
for reforms and rallying support from Filipinos and
sympathizers abroad.
Graciano Lopez Jaena
Graciano Lopez Jaena was another prominent leader of the
Propaganda Movement. As a passionate orator and writer, he
used his eloquence to inspire the Filipino people and advocate
for social justice and equality. His speeches and writings were
instrumental in spreading awareness about the plight of the
Filipinos under Spanish colonial rule.
In summary, the Propaganda Movement, led by leaders such as Jose Rizal,
Marcelo H. del Pilar, and Graciano Lopez Jaena, made invaluable contributions to
the Philippine Revolution. Through their writings, speeches, and organizational
efforts, they awakened the Filipino consciousness, exposed the injustices of
Spanish colonial rule, and laid the foundation for the eventual struggle for
independence. Their legacy continues to inspire and remind us of the power of
unity, education, and peaceful resistance in the pursuit of freedom and justice.
