- 12. Rizal emphasized in his letter…
- 13. QUALITIES FILIPINO MOTHERS HAVE TO POSSESS
- 14. FOR MARRIED WOMEN ✓ aid their husbands ✓ refrain from causing their husbands to worry ✓ sweeten their husband’s moments of affection
- 15. “ treat well and inspire them to perform husband’s duty to the family very well” FOR MARRIED WOMEN 3 things a woman should instill to their husband ✓ activity and industry ✓ noble behavior ✓ worthy sentiments
- 16. ADVICE TO THE UNMARRIED FILIPINOS Appearance and looks can be deceiving

- 18. ✓ a noble and honored name ✓ a manly heart ✓ a high spirit incapable of being satisfied with engendering slaves YOUNG WOMEN must look a man who possesses:
- 19. FIVE SALIENT POINTS • Role of woman in the family • The teachings of the priest vs. the teaching of God
- 20. 01 Role of woman in the family Filipino mothers should teach their children love of God, country and fellowmen.
- 21. “ a tree that grows in the mud is unsubstantial and good only for firewood” Whatever the mother shows to her children is what the children will also become
- 22. Let us be reasonable and open our eyes, especially you women, because you are the first to influence the consciousness of man. Remember that a good mother does not resemble the mother that the friar has created; she must bring up her child to be the image of the true God, not of a blackmailing, a grasping God, but of a God who is the father of us all, who is just ... sincere and firm of purpose, clear judgment, clear procedure, honesty in act and deed, love for the fellowman and respect for God; this is what you must teach your children.
- 23. Filipino mother should be glad and honored,like Spartan mothers, to offer their sons in defense of the country. ✓ Be a noble wife ✓ Rear her children in the service of the state ✓ Set standards of behavior for men around her. 02
- 24. Open your children's eyes so that they may jealously guard their honor, love their fellowmen and their native land, and do their duty. Always impress upon them they must prefer dying with honor to living in dishonor. The women of Sparta should serve you as an example in this; I shall give some of their characteristics.
- 25. O3 Filipino women should know how to protect their dignity and honor
- 26. This is our dream; this is the desire we cherish in our hearts; to restore the honor of woman, who is half of our heart, our companion in the joys and tribulations of life. If she is a maiden, the young man should love her not only because of her beauty and her amiable character, but also on account ofher fortitude of mind and loftiness of purpose, which quicken and elevate the feeble and timid and ward off all vain thoughts. Let the maiden be the pride of her country and command respect, because it is a common practice on the part of Spaniards and friars here who have returned from the Islands to speak of the Filipina as complaisant and ignorant, as if all should be thrown into the same class because of the missteps of a few, and as if women of weak character did not exist in other lands. As to purity what could the Filipina not hold up to others!
- 27. O4 Filipino women should educate themselves aside from retaining their good racial values
- 28. The cause of the backwardness of Asia lies in the fact that there the women are ignorant, are slaves; while Europe and America are powerful because there the women are free and well-educated and endowed with lucid intellect and a strong will.
- 29. Faith is not merely reciting prayers and wearing religious pictures. It is living the real Christian way with good morals and manners. 05
- 30. You know that the will of God is different from that of the priest 01 Religiousness 02 Saintliness
- 31. You know that the will of God is different from that of the priest; that religiousness does not consist of long periods spent on your knees, nor in endless prayers, big rosarios, and grimy scapulars [religious garment showing devotion), but in a spotless conduct, firm intention and upright judgment. You also know that prudence does not consist in blindly obeying any whim of the little tin god, but in obeying only that which is reasonable and just, because blind obedience is itself the cause and origin of those whims, and those guilty of it are really to be blamed.. RELIGIOUSNESS
- 32. The official or friar can no longer assert that they alone are responsible for their unjust orders, because God gave each individual reason and a will of his or her own to distinguish the just from the unjust; all were born without shackles and free, and nobody has a right to subjugate the will and the spirit of another your thoughts. RELIGIOUSNESS
- 33. SAINTLINESS Let us be reasonable and open our eyes, especially you women, because you are the first to influence the consciousness of man. Remember that a good mother does not resemble the mother that the friar has created; she must bring up her child to be the image of the true God, not of a blackmailing, a grasping God, but of a God who is the father of us all, who is just; who does not suck the life-blood of the poor like a vampire, nor scoffs at the agony of the sorely beset, nor makes a crooked path of the path of justice.
- 34. Lesson Rizal wanted to Portray
- 35. 01 That the tranny of some is possible only through cowardice and negligence on the part of others.
- 36. 02 What makes one contemptible is lack of dignity and abject fear of him who holds one in contempt.
- 37. 03 Ignorance is servitude, because as a man thinks, so he is; man who does not think for himself and allowed himself to be guided by the thought of another is like the beast led by a halter.
- 38. 04 He who loves his independence must first aid his fellowman, because he who refuses protection to others will find himself without it;
- 39. 05 If the Filipina will not change her mode of being, let her rear no more children, let here merely give birth to them. She must cease to be the mistress of the home, otherwise she will unconsciously betray husband, child, native land, and all.
- 40. 06 All men are born equal, naked, without bonds. God did not create man to be a slave; nor did he endow him with intelligence to have him hoodwinked, or adorn him with reason to have him deceived by others.
- 41. 07 Consider well what kind of religion they are teaching you. See whether it is the will of God or according to the teachings of Christ that the poor be succored and those who suffer alleviated.
- 42. — JOSE RIZAL Let us, therefore, reflect: let us consider our situation and see how we stand. May these poorly written lines aid you in your good purpose and help you to pursue the plan you have initiated. “ May your profit be greater than the capital invested.”
