What is Influx of Liberal Ideas in the Philippines about?
The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 made the Philippines closer to world trade and travel. Liberal ideas from the French Revolution and works of political philosophers like Locke and Rousseau began to spread to the Philippines due to a liberalizing of policies under Spanish rule. The Spanish Revolution of 1868 brought liberal reforms that gave Filipinos new freedoms of speech, press, and assembly. These liberal ideas promoted values like individualism, rationalism, freedom, and tolerance.
