The Birth of Women's Movement in the Philippines
« on: November 01, 2008, 05:08:26 PM »

 Don Señor Valeriano Weyler Nicolau  Marqués de Tenerife,
 El Gobernador General de la Territorio Espana de la Islas Filipinas
 Circa 1890


The Philippines has been a predominantly a patriarchal society, during pre-hispanic times and made so evident during the Age of Hispanica of the Philippines. However, the birth of women's movement in the Philippines officially began in the late 19th century under the Gobernatorial rule of Don Señor Valeriano Weyler Nicolau  Marqués de Tenerife. Who was the Spanish Governor General of the Philippines from 1888 to 1891.

Under his administration, Don Señor Valeriano Weyler Nicolau  Marqués de Tenerife granted the petitions of 20 young women of Malolos, Bulacan to have education and to have a night school. Many consider this as a turning point of the status of women in the Philippines to have the right to education. The original petition was denied by the parish priest of Malolos, who argued that women should always stay at home and take care of the family. Weyler happened to visit Malolos after that and he granted the petition since the women had not yet lost hope on their petition. Jose Rizal wrote a letter to the women, as a request of Marcelo H. Del Pilar, praising their initiative and sensibility on their high hopes for women's education and progress.

 Don Señor Valeriano Weyler Nicolau  Marqués de Tenerife was a strong proponent of greater Spanish-Filipino unity and a large proponent of the liberalization of the Philippines. Under his administration, he had difficulty with the episcopacy in the Philippines, which was for a lack of a better word, extremely conservative, in terms of social understanding.

 Don Señor Valeriano Weyler Nicolau  Marqués de Tenerife, who was trained in the military academy in Spain, was a stern Governor General, one who acquiesced to greater Filipino-European trade; and greater educational development, yet at the same time was an oponent of the Moro Rebellions in the south.

He was called to Cuba to suppress the Rebellion in Cuba, under Royal Spanish Decree.

His administration was responsible for widening the Philippine port trade with other Western Countries and even the United States. One that would eventually haunt the Spaniards in coming years.
