Question

please help me answer my questions!! thank you

Answer 1

The Filipino illustrados in Madrid published La Solidaridad to gain Spanish citizens support against abuses committed by Spanish officials in the Philippines.Some aired sentiments in indirect ways like Jose Rizal writing the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo and Juan Luna painting the Spoliarium.It were these seeds that planted the revolution.

Answer 2

Filipino illustrados are the so called enlightened middle class during the spanish period. They are the ones who were educated in the Philippines or in Spain. They waged their campaign through what is called the pen and paper method meaning, they used their brains and artistic talents rather than force. The best medium that they used was the La Solidaridad, a newspaper released in Spain. This was where they aired thier view on the abuses of the Spanish officials in the Philippines. Well known illustrados who contributed to the La Solidaridad were Jose Rizal (Philippine National Hero), Graciano Lopez Jaena, and Marcelo H. Del Pilar.

Answer 3

"They became instrumental in revealing and *articulating* the atrocities of the Spanish regime. The nationalistic fever of a few natives spread throughout the country and led to numerous skirmishes against the Spanish authority. Finally, the nationalistic movement catapulted to the Philippine revolution of 1896"
