    Rizal rejected the Katipunan's plan to launch an armed rebellion against the Spanish, believing the Filipinos were not yet ready for independence. He felt they lacked resources like money, weapons, and support from wealthy Manila residents. Rizal suggested gaining more support and putting Antonio Luna in charge of military operations due to his knowledge of tactics, but the Katipunan leaders were determined to start their rebellion.

    Andres Bonifacio, through Dr.

    Pio Valenzuela, sought Rizal’s opinion and approval in launching an armed


    rebellion against the Spanish administration. Rizal staunchly opposed the rebellion saying that the Filipinos
    were not yet fully ready for the independence.  
    Instruction: Write a hand written 500-word essay about your reaction opinion of Rizal’s rejection of the
    Katipunan’s intent to stage an armed rebellion. Be guided in grading the essay using the rubric below.

    Andres Bonifacio, head of the Katipunan sent his emissary by the name of Dr. Pio Valenzuela to
    Dapitan informing Rizal of the Katipunan’s plan to launch a revolution. Rizal objected to Bonifacio’s bold
    project the country was not ready, lacked money, armaments, and would be suicidal. Dr. Valenzuela
    informed that inevitably break out if the plot would be discovered. Rizal suggested soliciting the support of
    the rich and influential people of Manila to strengthen their cause. He recommended Antonio Luna be made
    to direct the military operations of the Katipunan citing his knowledge of military science and tactics!
    Sensing that the revolutionary leaders were dead set on launching their audacious project, Rizal
    instructed Valenzuela that it would be for the best interests of the Katipunan to get first the support of the
    rich and influential people of Manila to strengthen their cause. He further suggested that Antonio Luna with
    his knowledge of military science and tactics, be made to direct the military operations of the Revolution.
    At that point, Rizal was not ready to advocate a bloody revolution. He was hoping that the colonist
    will listen to his peaceful clamor for freedom through his writings. It was his good faith & belief that the
    Spaniards will listen & provide the Filipino people their freedom & self government as he believed that the
    people can do it with his guidance. And he strongly believed the Filipino people will do good with their own
    governance. By the time Rizal was a teenager, the Filipinos already had been stirred in discontent before
    Rizal even first spoke against the Church (the true goverment of colonial philippines). By the time Bonifacio
    joined La Liga Filipina in 1892, Filipinos were already fed up. So many and extreme discontent that he
    found other members in the La Liga Filipina as radical as evrn thinking of separation. Rizal was never really
    “diplomatic”. In fact, Rizal was a sharp shooter and a swordsman. In Europe, he almost shot or sliced Luna
    in a duel had one of their friends nit stopped them. It was Pardo de Tavera I believe. He knew those books
    would lead to violence. On the other hand, if there was no Rizal or Del Pilar inciting discontent among the
    people, would Bonifacio have an army to begin with? Andres Bonifacio was a member of Rizal’s La Liga
    Filipina. Bonifacio simply raised Rizal’s rebellion to the next level, and that is breaking away from Spain and
    my means of war.

    Rizal was truly a person for his countrymen. He’s a patriot and nationalistic for he never wantedto
    see his fellow countrymen being oppressed and being exploited. He’s a man of action. However, I view him
    as still an ordinary man in the sense that he had also his flaws when hewas still alive. He is still like us--
    human, whose curiosity is sometimes awakened which mightresult to a mistake. Now, I believe that Rizal
    was not always thinking of what he can do for his countrymen.
