here is the picture on the right the
women of malolos petitioned for the
establishment of a night school
where they could be taught a spanish
language under chodoro sandico
a professor of latin the women of
melanos decided to learn the spanish
language because
it was the language of politics and
society during that time
chidoro sandico e santa ana was a
filipino lawyer
having heard the petition of the
filipinas father felipe garcia a spanish
parish priest
rejected the request for he thinks that
it is a threat that may cause emergence
of ideas from the indus
this prompted governor general wheeler
to turn down the petition
although disheartened by the rejection
the 20 women of malalas remain
undeterred and courageously continued
for their agitation for the night school

pursuing their rights

pesaina in the column echos de ultramar
praised the women for their courage to
present themselves to the governor general
general
an action considered both that time
right after the article was published in
la soledad
marcelo h del pilar wrote from barcelona
to joserisol requesting him to write a letter
letter
in tagalog commending the bravery of the
women of malolos
rizal although busy in annotating
marga's book
penned this writing on february 17 1889
when he was in london and sent the
letter to del pilar on february 22
1889 for transmittal in malolos
so let's start with a discussion of the
letter itself made by rizal
upon hearing the news jose rizal was
greatly impressed by the bravery and
fighting spirit that the young women of
malolas malola sachon
his letter is his own way of recognition
to the brave filipinas who are no longer
blinded by the fraud religious belief
brought by the friars the letter wasn't
only addressed to the young women of malolos
malolos
but also to all kinds of filipino women mothers
mothers
wives then married and expresses everything
everything
that he wishes them to keep in mind the
following are the main points of resell
that he emphasized in his letter
first he emphasized the rejection of the
spiritual authority of the friars
that not all of the priests at that time
embodied the true spirit of christ
and his church most of them were
corrupted by worldly desires
and use worldly methods to effect change
and force discipline among the people
secondly is the defense of private judgment
judgment
it is stated in the letter that we
should not consult our own opinion alone
but hear the opinion of others rizal
also wrote that
it is more presumptuous for a person to
put his judgment
above that of the others and try to make
it prevail over theirs
third is the equal right to education
one of the highlights of his letter is
his ultimate desire for women
to be offered the same opportunities as
those received by men
in terms of education jose rizal
believes that education is important
not just for men but as well as for
women for everyone has the right to education
education
the next are the qualities filipino
mothers must have
role of woman in the family which
includes the duties and responsibilities
of filipino mothers to their children
and the duties and responsibilities of a
wife to her husband as well
the next one is the teachings of the
priest versus the teachings of
god and lastly results advice to the
married and unmarried filipinos
so these points will be discussed in the
next succeeding slides
qualities filipino mothers have to possess
possess
in here rizal shows great concern about
the well-being of the filipino children
he believes that a mother who cannot
stand up for herself
will only have children who will always
be undermined
thus they should know how to protect
their dignity and honor
result enumerates the qualities filipino
mothers have to possess
and these things will be elaborated in
one of the slides later
for married women rizal advised the
married women to aid their husbands
refrain from causing their husband to
worry and sweeten their husband's
additionally a wife must instill three
basic things in the mind of her husband
according to result these are
activity and industry noble behavior and
worthy sentiments
next appearance and looks can be deceiving
deceiving
it is used to say that something can be
very different
from how it seems or appears to be and
this is one of the advice of rizal to
the unmarried filipinos
in his letter to the young women of malolos
malolos
so for the young men rizal advised them
to look for
women who gives priority to firmness of character
character
and superior ideas rather than the
physical beauty
men should choose a girl who was a fame
character and love the ideas
it is not just about the looks nor the
sweetness of disposition
but also the women who have a strong
mind and ideas
for young women jose rizal points out that
that
women should not be easily taken by
appearances or looks
for these things can be very deceiving
according to him
instead they should take heed of men's
firmness of character
and love the ideas prior to this
young woman according to rizal should
look for a man with a noble and honored name
name
a manly heart and a high spirit
incapable of being satisfied with
engendering slaves
young women must edify themselves leave
the real christian way
with good morals and manners and should
be wise in choosing their lifetime partner
partner
moving on the letter to the young women
of malolos centers around five salient points
points
according to zadie and zeid in 1999 and
within these points
my discussion didn't regarding the role
of women
in the family and the teachings of the
priests versus the teachings of the god
and they are as follows
the first point also discusses the role
of women in the family
filipino mothers should teach their
children love of god
whatever a mother shows to her children
is what the children will also become
as the saying goes a fruit would grow
the same as of its tree
if the mother is always kissing the hand
of the friars in submission
then her children will grow up to be
psychophants and mindless fools
who do nothing but do as they are told
even if the nature of the task would
violate their rights as individuals
from the first salient point we provided
an excerpt from the letter which
discusses about the role of a mother to
her family
you women because you are the first to
influence the consciousness of man
remember that a good mother does not
resemble the mother that the friar
has created she must bring up her child
to the image of a true god
has a clear judgment love for fellow men
and respect for god rizal believed that
the child of a woman
roots from her actions if a woman would
follow a teaching of a priest
her child would be the same if a woman
would be courageous enough to seek the light
light
her child would be brave in protecting
hers mother
fellow countrymen and country he also
stated the rightful actions taught by god
god
such as giving to the needy helping the
poor and feeding the hungry and not by
being deaf to the entities of the poor
stuffing those who are situated
lavishing money on silver decorations
for the altars
and giving arms to the church or the friars
friars
the next salient point in the letter of rizal
rizal
is that filipino mothers should be glad
and honored
like spartan mothers to offer their sons
in defense of their country
so these are the qualities that filipino
mothers must have
according to result a filipino mother
must be a noble wife
and is someone who serves as a model for
rearing her children for the service of
the state
so in here jose rizelle gives reference
to the women of sparta
as they embody this quality reiterating
what has been said earlier
whatever the mother is so with her son
also become
therefore she must set the standards of
behavior for men around her
frieza says to the women to always impress
impress
upon their children to prefer dying with honor
honor
to or over living in this honor
rizal said that filipino women should
imitate what the women
of sparta did men said the spartans
are not born to live themselves but for
their country
and this is what rizal also suggests to
the women
not only of the melales but the whole country
country
moving on to the third salient point
filipino women should know how to
protect their dignity and honor
now there is a notion before that women
are said to be fragile and can be easily influenced
influenced
because of their ignorance and lack of
knowledge of their rights
the friars took advantage of the
kindness and meekness of these women
in this resell stipulates that women
must know how to speak up and stand for
their rights
protect their dignity and honor
spaniards and friars who came back to
spain from the philippines
broadcasted by print and by word of
mouth that the filipino women
are weak and ignorant spaniards and
friars considered excessive kindness
meekness or blindness the kissing of the
hand were form of flirtation
friars related the scenes confessed by women
women
to their spanish colors and embellish them
them
at times with incredible thought and
also added that the filipinos in spain
could not stand what these friars are
doing as if considering spanish women as
sinless and perfect
and filipino women as sinners moving on
to the next alien point
filipino women should educate themselves
aside from retaining their good racial values
values
so for result educating oneself is just
as important as retaining one's values
he never ceased stressing out how
important education
is um during the spanish rule in the country
country
women were not sent to school because of
the universal notion that
they should only be taken as wives and
stay at home with their children
rizal however firmly emphasized the
right to education
which must be granted to both men and
women alike
ditto result indirectly points out the
importance of
education to women in his letter at the
eighth paragraph
and he find it as one of the root causes
why asia is not at par with other countries
paragraph nato you important education
and this is what the young women of
malolos pursue
the fifth salient point that is included
in the letter
is that faith is not merely reciting
prayers and wearing religious pictures
according to rizal it is living the real
christian way with good morals and
manners so
for result faith is truly manifested
through the way people live up and
commit to their values and good morals
it is far beyond just merely reciting
prayers and wearing religious pictures
but it must be put into actions
practicing and living the true christian way
way
from the fifth salient point which is
all about the priests and god
rizal pointed out two things in the
teaching of the priest
religiousness and saintliness design
pointed out
yes we can say no no man pero it should
be reasonable and just
it's not about the teachings of it's not
all about
the teachings of the priests we should
also know the truth behind
so from this statement of resolve we can
learn that
god gave man his own mind and his own conscience
conscience
so that he can distinguish between right
and wrong
all men are born free and no one can
subject the will and spirit of another
he also says that it's not about the
pero do we even think if tama baton nothing
we have our own minds to know the truth
think and decide
moving on to the last portion of our report
report
the lessons rizal wanted to portray in
his letter to the young women of malolos
first is that the tyranny of some is
possible only
through cowardice and negligence on the
part of others
second what makes one contemple
is the lack of dignity and object fear of
of
him who holds one in contempt
next is ignorance is servitude because
as a man thinks
so he is a man who does not think for himself
himself
and allowed himself to be guided by the
thought of another
is like the beast led by a halter fourth
he who loves his
independence must first aid his fellowmen
fellowmen
because he who refuses protection to others
others
will find himself without it next if the
filipina will not change her mood of being
being
let her rear normal children let her
merely give birth to them
she must cease to be the mistress of the
home otherwise
she will unconsciously betray her
husband child
native land and all all men are born equal
equal
naked without bonds god did not create
man to be a slave
nor did he endure him with intelligence
to have him who hoodwinked
or adorn him with reason to have him
deceived by others
consider well what kind of religion they
are teaching you
see whether it is the will of god or
according to the teachings of christ
that the poor beasts occurred and those
lastly result reminds in his letter to reflect
reflect
consider our situation and see how we stand
stand
we should also know how to assess the situation
situation
and make move based on it may your
profit be greater than the capital invested
invested
the following are the references we used
in our research
and this ends the letter to the young women
women
of malolos by jose rizal thank you and
