    Rizal's Second Sojourn


    in Paris and the
    Universal Exposition of
    1889
    RIZALAND PARIS INDIOS BRAVOS
    EXPOSITION OF 1889 Rizal and the members of the Kidlat Club were
    amazed to see the Buffalo Bull show which
    The greatest attraction of this exposition featured the American Indians
    was the Eiffel Tower These Red skinned Indians were proudly riding

    Exposition native attire and wearing their war feathers and

    Rizal told his friends:

    1. Let us be proud of the name Indio and make our

    2. We shall be Indios Bravos
    KIDLAT CLUB 3. The Indios Bravos (brave Indians) replaced the
    ephemeral KidlatClub.
    Purely a social society of a temporary nature Members pledged to excelin intellectual and physical
    It was founded by Rizal to bring together young prowess in order to win the admiration of the
    Filipinos in the French capital so that they foreigners, particularly the Spaniards.
    could enjoy their so journin the city during the They practiced with great enthusiasm the use of the
    duration of the Universal Exposition. sword and the pistol.
    It wil ldisappear like lightning Rizal taught them judo, an Asian art of self-defense that
    he learned in Japan.
    R.D.L.M.SOCIETY
    The letters R.D.L.M. are believed to be the initials of the society’s secret name
    Redencionde los Malayos (Redemption of theMalays).
    It was patterned after Freemasonry
    The aim of the secret society, as stated by Rizal was the“propagation of alluseful
    knowledge –scientific, artistic, literary, etc.–in the Phil.”
    Rizal was inspired by a famous book entitled Max Havelaar written by Multatuli
    1. This book exposed the miserable conditions of the oppressed Malay in habitants of
    the Netherlands East Indies under Dutch Rules
    LettertoBlumentritt:

    1. Revealed his intentions to be a leader of freedom, if not in the Philippines,


    then in Borneo.
    2. If it is impossible for me to give freedom to my country, at least I should
    like to give it to these noble compatriots in other lands.

    ANNOTATED EDITION OF MORGAPUBLISHED


    Blumentritt censured Rizal for two things which revealed Rizal’s errors, namely:
    1. Rizal commits the error of many historians in appraising the events of the past in the light of present
    standards
    2. Rizal’s attack on the Church were unfair and unjustified because the abuses of the friars should not be
    construed to mean the Catholicism is bad.
    Rizal dedicated his new edition of Morga to the Filipino people so that they would
    know of their glorious past. His dedication is as follows:
    1. Born and reared in ignorance of our past like almost all of you: without voice nor
    authority to speak of what we have not seen nor studied I deemed it necessary to
    invoke the testimony of an Illustrious Spaniard who controlled the destinies of the
    Philippines atthe beginning of its new era and personally witnessed the last days of
    our ancient nationality.

    Rizal proved that the Filipinos we real ready civilized before the advent of Spain
    1. They had clothes, government, laws, writing, literature, religion, arts, sciences, and
    commerce with neighboring Asian nations.
    2. Rizal blasted the historica lheresies of the Spanish writers who claimed that the early
    Filipinos were savages and were of low mentality
    THE PHILIPPINES WITHIN A CENTURY
    In this article, Rizal predicted with amazing accuracy the tragic end of Spain’s sovereignty in Asia.
    Colonies established to subserve the policy and commerce of the sovereign country,all eventually
    become independent
    THEINDOLENCE OF THE FILIPINOS
    It is an able defense of the alleged indolence of the Filipinos.
    Rizal made a critical study of the causes why his people did not work hard during the Spanish regime.
    His main thesis: Filipinos are not by nature indolent
    The Spanish conquest of the country brought about a decline in economic activities because the Filipinos had abandoned
    their pre-Spanish industries and worked less than their ancestors
    Such decline in economic life was due to certain causes:
    1. Native revolts and other internal disorders which followed the establishment of Spanish rule
    2. The wars which the Filipinos fought for Spain’s enemies
    3. The frightful raids on the coastal towns and village of Christian Philippines by the Muslim pirates of Mindanao and Sulu
    4. The forced labor which compelled thousands of Filipino laborers to work in public works resulting in the abandonment of
    their personal works
    5. Lack of stimulus to work harder because the people could not enjoy thefruits of their labor
    1. Government neglect and indifference to agriculture,industry,and commerce
    2. The bad example shown by the Spaniards in despising manual labor
    3. The teachingof Spanish missionaries that it is easier for a poor man to enter heaven than for
    a rich man,hence the Filipinos prefer notto work and be poor so that they could easily enter
    heaven after they die
    4. Encouragement and propagation of gambling bythe Spanish authorities
    5. System of Spanish education did not promote economic enterprise and activity

    Filipinos are easy going and do not work so hard because they are wise enough to adjust
    themselves to their warm, tropicalclimate.
    1. They do not have to kill themselves working hard in order to live because nature gives them
    abundant harvests by working less than those in temperate and arid countries.
    INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FILIPINOLOGISTS
    The aimofthe association is to study the Philippines from the scientific and historical point
    of view
    Their inaugural convention did not materialize because the French government discouraged
    the holding of conferences by private organizations during the period of the international
    exposition.
    PROJECT FOR FILIPINO COLLEGE IN HONGKONG
    This College aims to “train and educate men of good family and financial means in
    accordance with the demands of modern times and circumstances”
    A rich Filipino resident in Paris , Mr.Mariano Cunanan, from Mexico ,Pampanga
    ,promised to help him raise P40,000 as initial capital for the college.
    This project of Rizal to establish a modern college in HongKong did not materialize.

    PORTELEFONO
    This satirical pamphlet under the authorship of “Dimas Alang” is a witty satire
    which ridicules Fr. Font.
    1. It describes in comical vein a telephone conversation between Fr.Font who was in
    Madrid and the father provincial of theSan Agustin Conventin Manila
    Rizal predicted much ahead of his times that people could carry on overseas
    telephonic conversations-12 years after the publication of Rizal's "Por Telefono"
