frailocracia filipina
by Marcelo H. del Pilar y Gatmaitán
'frailocracia filipina' Summary
“Frailocracia Filipina” is a powerful critique of the Spanish colonial system in the Philippines, specifically targeting the dominating influence of the friars. Del Pilar argues that the friars, through their political and religious power, have unjustly exploited the Filipinos. He meticulously analyzes their actions and policies, exposing how they perpetuated a system of control and oppression. The book delves into the friars' manipulation of information, how they propagated a distorted history to justify their position and undermine Filipino identity. Del Pilar's work served as a powerful call for change, advocating for national awakening and resistance against the friars' control. The book's impact on Filipino society was immense, contributing significantly to the burgeoning nationalist movement that ultimately led to the Philippines' struggle for independence.Book Details
