SECULARIZATION

went forward.
• Bishop Basilio Santa Justa was forced to ordain Filipino seminarians and place them in parishes in the 18th
century. It was the first time that secularization was put to the test.
• Because the secular priests were unprepared at the time, the friars protested the secularization,
promptingthe King to issue a fresh edict in 1776. The ruling put a halt to parishes secularization.
• The regular priests kept control of the parishes, and Spaniards implemented a secularization campaign in
the 19th century, with the parishes being taken over by them.

the Philippines were a province of Spain, the FIlipinos would have representative in the cortes, the span is
legislature. As citizens of Spain, they will then spread from Spanish officials’ abuses and from paying unjust
taxes. They called this program “Assimilation”.

Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose M. Panganiban, and Eduardo de Lete.

publish studies about the Philippines and the Filipinos.

• Failed to achieve the reform in Spain but exposed the abuses of the colonialist in the country.
• The reformist estalbished various organizations both in the Philippines and Spain.

Hispano-Filipino," a group of Spanish-Filipinos that supported the use of laws in the administration of the
Philippines.

Solidaridad” branch in Madrid, which brings together reformists.

LA LIGA FILIPINA AND THE REFORMIST
• The aim of La Liga Filipina are to unite the entire archipelago, help its members in their needs, struggle
against violence and injustice, encourage its members into studying agriculture and commerce, and work
for reforms.
• La Solidaridad and La Liga Filipina were unable to persuade the Spanish government to listen to their
demands. As a result, The Propaganda Movement's reform drive failed.
• The Propaganda movement failed, but it did contribute to the spread of nationalist awareness and the
preparation for the 1896 Revolution.
• La Liga Officials: Ambrosio Salvador as the President, Agustin Dela Rosa as the Fiscal, Bonifacio Arevalo as
the Treasurer, and Deodato Arellano as the Secretary.
