    ANTI-FRIAR MANIFESTO OF 1888

    The importance of the “Anti-Friar Manifesto of 1888” is that, it denounced the anti-Filipino

    Archbishop, Pedro Payo, and the bad friars for meddling in the movement, enriching themselves

    contrary to their monastic vow of poverty, opposing the teaching of Spanish language to the

    Filipinos, and keeping the Philippines in obscurantism. It requested the expulsion of the friars from

    the Philippines and as a result of the anti-friar demonstration and manifesto of 1888, the powerful

    friars avenged themselves by persecuting the leaders and signers of the manifesto, having them

    arrested and thrown into prison. Fortunately, the Spanish Queen Regent issued an amnesty in 1889

    pardoning the patriotic demonstrators. It was a tumultuous event that rocked Manila on March 1,

    1888.
    The Anti-Friar Manifesto of 1888 was written by Jose A Ramos (a London-educated

    patriot, businessman and Mason) and Marcelo Hilario del Pilar y Gatmaitan. He was born to an

    upper class family on August 30. 1850 in Cupang (present day Brgy. San Nicolas) Bulacan. His

    father, Julian Hilario del Pilar, was a Tagalog grammarian, poet and speaker. His mother Blasa

    Gatmaitan, known as Dona Blasa, was a descendant of the noble Gatmaitans. Both of his parents

    owned several farms and some fish ponds. He is a Filipino writer, Lawyer and a Journalist.

    This was the anti-friar demonstration of hundreds of Filipino patriots led by the Manila

    patriotic lawyer, Doroteo Cortes, with the secret assistance of Marcelo H. del Pilar and Jose A.

    Ramos, a London-educated rich merchant and leading Masonic leader. The demonstrators,

    including many gobernadorcillos of the towns around Manila, marched through the city streets to

    the Ayuntamiento (City Hall) and formally submitted to acting Civil Governor Jose Centneo of

    Manila Province an anti-friar manifesto addressed to Queen Regent Mara Cristina. This manifesto,

    titled “Long Live the Queen! Long Live the Army! Down with Friars!

    It has gained a giant step forward in the politicization and nationalist awakening of the

    Filipinos.
