Description

Identify at least five events that took place In the mid-19th century outside the Philippines that might have influenced the young Jose Rizal in charting the course of his ideals, mission, and aspirations for the Philippines. Describe this events through illustrations.

Opening of Suez Canal Suez Canal, according to Fisher (n.d.) is a “sea-level waterway running north-south across the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt to connect the Mediterranean and the Red seas.” With Suez Canal’s opening, the travel from Europe to Philippines and vice versa became easier and shorter thus, brought the country closer to Spain. Also, with the opening of this canal, Jose Rizal was encouraged to pursue his education in Spain. His decision eventually affected his course of ideals, mission, and aspirations for the Philippines as studying abroad opened his mind to the real situation of the Philippines that time (Aberdi, 2011).

Development of Liberalism Liberalism, according to Merriam-Webster, is "the quality or state of being liberal.” The development of this worldview led to the publication of writings about this and through the Suez Canal, these writings were able to be read by the illustrados like Jose Rizal. In turn, liberalism affected his beliefs on politics and nationhood (Apostol, 2018).

Galleon Trade Galleon Trade, according to our lesson, was “a ship trade going back and forth between Manila and Acapulco, Mexico.” According to Philippine History (n.d.), Galleon Trade “allowed modern, liberal ideas to enter the country, eventually inspiring the movement for independence from Spain.” And as what we have already discussed, Jose Rizal is one of those people who was largely influenced by liberal ideas.

Spain’s Constitutional Conflicts According to Aseniero (n.d.), the most appropriate context through which Rizal’s conceptualization of the movement for national emancipation was based is Spain’s constitutional history. He said that his ideals were based on Spanish sources.

The Bourbon Reforms According to the lesson,Bourbon Reforms gave Filipinos like Rizal the idea that “colonization could be done without much intervention from the Catholic Church.”
