penniless Spaniards came to the Philippines Immediate appointment to higher offices: skin color They were either relatives or protégés of civil officials and friars. They became rich by illegal means or by marrying the heiresses of rich Filipino families.

Spain granted locals from their colonies representation in the Cortes, thus Spanish parliament government. (functions: representation, legislation, hearings or inquiries) To win the support of her overseas colonies during the Napoleonic Invasion the Philippine conditions worsened because: there was no means by which the Filipino people could expose the anomalies perpetrated by the colonial officials.

(Gratis) THIRD: this caused inconvenience and suffering because : common laborers are disturbed from their work in farms, shops, far from homes and towns.

The rural folks became: tenants. loss of their lands which belonged to their ancestors since pre- Spanish times FRIARS obtained royal titles of ownership from: the Spanish Crown. Rizal and agrarian reforms --- Retaliation: rentals are raised “INDOLENCE (lack of concern) OF FILIPINOS”: Deceptions made by friars making the local folks believe that plantations are prospering because they were under their care.

Constable: “Law Enforcement” (to serve and to protect) Supposed to maintain peace and order in the society They don’t observe their duty: maltreating innocent people, looting their livelihoods, raping women Rizal directed his stinging satire against the hatred Guardia Civil, through Elias in Noli Me Tangere.
