Justification
Rizal and other ilustrado classified Filipinos
into two categories one was the “civilized
Filipinos” who did not resist the Catholicism
and the other one was “the mountain tribes”
who resisted and therefore where not
civilized. Our ancestors were identified
partially in the basis of accepting Spanish
not acceptable how can a person say that you
are not civilized when did you not accept
something. All of us have a different opinion
and just because we did not accept the
culture, they called uncivilized. That is not how
the world work we just need to respect each
other opinion.
Justification
I think yes because the fact that they
categorized our fellow Filipino is unjustifiable
and portraying it is discrimination, however
when Rizal was not thinking about how the friar
establishment obstructed progress, Rizal
appreciated the access to European civilization and
modernity that the colonial relationship with Spain
made possible. But when friars occupied his gaze,
Rizal saw the Spanish conquest as nothing but a
scourge that alienated him from his descent and
deprived him of history and identity. Such
overpowering moments drove him to recuperate
the past.
Justification
I think because of his lonely life in Dapitan.
Rizal maximized his stay by devoting his time in
improving his artistic and literary skills. And
because of his exile he may be felt the pain of
discrimination and inequalities and because of
that he wanted to change our society not by
bloody means, but through education so that
no one can discriminate us.
