2. Explain how Jose Rizal criticized the Spanish colonial society during the
nineteenth century.
- Dr. Jose Rizal is known to be a critic of the Spanish colonial society, based on
the evidence seen in his works, especially on his two famous novels, Noli Me
Tangere and the El Filibusterismo. He provided abstract thought of the
hypocrisies of the Spaniards as they took over our nation for hundreds of years.
Rizal also hated the Spanish’ view on social status, where the foreigners used to
call the poor as “Indios”, while they call the richer families “Principalia”. While the
ruling class, also including pure-blood Filipinos, swarm in the corrupt riches of the
government, the Indios suffer from the cruelty of the Principalia and the high
officials. According to Rizal, the Spanish colonial society took advantage of the
Filipinos’ weakness and lack of knowledge to use it to gain from their abuses.
