Brindis Speech
How did Rizal delivered his Speech?
To honor the victory of Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo in
the National Exposition of Fine Arts in Madrid in June
25,1884, Jose Rizal delivered a toast together with his
speech “The Brindis.” Luna won first prize for his El
Spolarium, while Hidalgo won the second prize for his
painting Virgenes Christianas Expuentas al Populcho.
Rizal started his speech by using flowery terms such as being surrounded by “men of hearts.” He also described the atmosphere during that period, since the Philippines was oppressed by the Spaniards, talking about those kinds of things would result to being termed as a filibuster. Hence, Rizal’s speech commanded the attention of lots of those who went to the dinner.
Summary of the Brindis Speech
Virgenes Chistianas Expuentas
Spolarium by Juan Luna
In his speech, Rizal stresses the reason of their gathering – which is to indicate an achievement which enlightened what really is a dark society such as that which the painting of Luna shows. He likewise commends Hidalgo for shedding light to the various parts of the world and that he truly respects them. Rizal states that change shall take place through a figure of speech such as the “illustrious achievements of [PHILIPPINES’] children are no longer consummated within the home.” Thus, to the community of Filipinos in Madrid, this serves as a clear nod. Meanwhile, he also praises the Filipino youth who brought laurels to the Philippines.
Then, then as he talks regarding the Spolarium, he claims that the canvass “is not mute” amidst the shadow and darkness. The shadow portrays the slavery, oppression, horror, and mystery going on as orphans faced their fate. Likewise, during those times, the friars who enslave the Filipinos persecute those who take legal action – this, Rizal claims.
On the other hand, he still proclaimed gratitude to Spain by telling that “Spain as a mother also teaches her language to Filipinos” ; however, he still does not approve of the “midgets” who acquire their posts. This clearly shows how the elite does whatever they can to prevent Filipinos form taking a notch in their education so that the lower classes will not be able to defend themselves.
