Literary Works of del Pilar

Ang Pagibig sa Tinubúang Lupà (Love of country) 1898
 This poem which was first published in the Diariong Tagalog on August
20, 1882, subsequently in Heraldo de la Revolución, December 20,
1898, and again, in the supplement of that paper, resembles the theme
of José Rizal's Amor Patria. As the title indicates, the theme is directed
to the Filipinos in order to arouse their spirit of nationalism and self-
dependence.

Caiingat /Caiigat Cayó (Be like an eel)

 Published in Barcelona, 1888, and signed by Dolores Manapat, one of
del Pilar's pseudonyms. This essay is a refutation of Fr. José
Rodriguez's Cuestiones de Sumo Interés (Questions of Supreme
Interest). The latter is an attack against the morality of the author of
Noli Me Tángere (Rizal). In his essay, del Pilar recounts the fine
qualities of Rizal, and as counter-attack, he accused
Dasalan at Tocsohan (Prayerbook and Teasing Game) Barcelona, 1888
 This is a satire on the friars' hypocrisy, licentiousness and greed, which
consists of parodies of the Sign of the Cross, the Act of Contrition, the
Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary, and the catechism. Rizal considers this as
a model of classical prose and an excellent example of Tagalog humor,
wit, and sarcasm.
Ang Cadaquilaan ng Dios (God’s Goodness)
 Published in Barcelona, it was also like a catheticism sarcastically
aimed against the parish priests but also contains a philosophy of the
power and intelligence of God and an appreciation for and love for
nature.
Sagot sa Espanya Sa Hibik ng Pilipinas (Answer to Spain on the Plea of
the Filipinos)
 A poem pleading for change from Spain but that Spain is already old
and weak to grant any aid to the Philippines. This poem is in answer to
that of Hermenigildo Flores’ Hibik sa Pilipinas (A Plea from the
Philippines).
La Soberanía Monacal en Filipinas (Monastic Sovereignty in the
Philippines) Barcelona, 1888
 Here he underscores the failure of government in making good the
noble promises and aspirations of the first fruitful encounter between
Spain and the Philippines
Pasióng Dapat Ipag-alab nang Puso nang Tauong Babasa (Passion That
Should Inflame the Heart of the Reader) -Barcelona, 1888
 Here he recounts the abuses of the friars, and then concludes that the
only time that the friars are kind and loving to the parishioners is when
the latter are rich and submissive to them.
La Frailocracía Filipinas (Frailocracy in the Philippines) Barcelona, 1889.

the much-mooted problem of filibusterism, the much-vaunted love of
the friars for Spain, the disagreement of Filipino civilization by the
friars, the influence of the friars on the Filipinos, and the
Dupluhan... Dalit... Bugtong
