- La solidaridad
La Solidaridad was the name of a society of Filipino
intellectuals (Ilustrados ) inSpain who sought to create an adequate representation for the Philippines in the Spanish Cortes (parliament). "La Solidaridad" was also the name of the newspaper that they published. It was founded onDecember 13 ,1888 .Its president was Galicano Apacible, cousin of Philippine national hero
José Rizal . Among the other officers wereGraciano López Jaena , vice-president, andJose Mariano Ponce , treasurer. Rizal, inLondon at the time, was named Honorary President. Despite the group's name, which means "Solidarity", the society suffered disunity and anarchy. It took the prestige of Rizal and the political wisdom of Del Pilar to unite the Filipinos in Spain and to coordinate their efforts.The publication of the same name unified their efforts further and became the principal organ of the
propaganda movement fromFebruary 15 ,1889 toNovember 15 ,1895 . The fund-raising efforts of local committees and masonic lodges and the clandestine attempts to distribute these materials involved more individuals in the campaign for reforms. A small part of La Solidaridad is knowed to be a perfect way to describe Propagandas. Unlike La Liga Filipina, La Solidaridad actually got a perfect way to fight against the Spanish.External links
