What is the reason why the propaganda movement failed?

Answer 1

THE Propaganda movement was a FAILURE because of various reasons. First and foremost, the leaders were ambitious and somewhat greedy. They did do some reforms but those reforms were only for their own interest. Another reason was the lack of fund to support the movement. Internal Conflicts was also present between propagandists Rizal and del Pillar which led to del Pillar's backing out from the movement. -JEFFERSON G. GEVA, AB Journalism IA BUCAL

Answer 2

The Propaganda Movement was a period of time when insulares (Filipinos) were calling for reforms, lasting approximately from 1868 to 1898 with the most activity between 1880-1895. The word "propaganda" in English and American usage has acquired a pejorative connotation which is absent from the original Latin. One can see its true meaning in the Roman institution called "Congregatio de propaganda fide" - the Secretariate for the Spread of the Faith (or, as the modern translation has it, For the Evangelization of Peoples). It was in this latter sense that the word was used by the Filipino group that sent Marcelo H. del Pilar to Spain to continue the "propaganda" on behalf of the Philippines. It was essentially a campaign of information, as well as a bid for sympathy. Dr. Domingo Abella, the learned Director of the National Archives, has made the suggestion that the so-called Propaganda Movement was misnamed. It should have been called the Counterpropaganda Movement, because their essential task was to counteract the campaign of misinformation that certain Spanish groups were disseminating in Spain, and later in Rome.

Answer 3

The propaganda movement failed because of internal divisions among its leaders, lack of widespread support from the general population, and government crackdowns that led to arrests and exile of key figures. Additionally, the movement's goals of reforms were seen as too radical by the colonial authorities.
