COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

Journalism began in the late 1800s in the Philippines. The creation of several publications was meant to
arouse and inform people about the abuses and atrocities perpetuated by the Spaniards and
eventually by the Americans. It helps people to become aware of the social and political circumstances
of that time.

La Esperanza (1846)

La Esperanza was the first daily newspaper (except Mondays) to be published on December 1, 1946
and which its name means HOPE. The paper, edited by Felipe Lacorte and Evaristo Calderon, lasted
only for three years. It turned out to be boring since it dealt with non-controversial subjects in order to
avoid them as it sought to comply with the censorship of pre-publication during that period.

La Estrella (1847)

La Estrella had appeared in 1847 and had ceased publication in January 1849. The only notice worthy
of mention with regard to the contents of these articles is the reference to the supplement under the
cover of an "extra" reported by La Estrella on February 29, 1848 containing the official reports of the
capture of Balanguigui. (Probably Balanguigui, Samar)

Diario de Manila (1848)

Diario de Manila was founded in October 11, 1848 and is the best-edited newspaper of the era that has
a foreign correspondent in Spain. It was directed by "The Ablest Journalist of His Time", Felipe Del Pan
and published by Ramirez y Compania. After 38 years of existence, this was suppressed by the Spanish
Governor-General with the official decree of 1898, who reportedly incited Filipino's distrust to
the Spaniards.

Boletin Oficial de Filipinas (1852)

In 1852, the Boletin Oficial de Filipinas was established by law and ceased by a royal order in 1860.
Boletin Oficial de Filipinas has existed for less than a decade from 1852 to 1860. Even if this publication
is an official government newsletter, it looks like a regular newspaper with political, local and
international news, church records, and even chapters of Spanish foreign novels.

El Eco de Vigan (1884) Ilocos

The first paper published in the Philippines outside Manila, which was issued in Ilocos, was established
in 1884. It was called El Eco de Vigan and died in the same year.
El Boleaetin de Cebu  (1890) Cebu

El Boleaetin de Cebu was the first newspaper to be published in Cebu by Edward Jimenez Frades. It was
the only commercial newspaper in Cebu until 1899. This paper is dedicated to the advancement of
Spanish colonial goals in the Cebu Islands, where Mariano Alba Cuenco and Sergio Osmena are
authors.

El Renacimiento (1940’s) Manila

El Renacimiento or "Muling Pagsilang" is a Spanish-Tagalog newspaper, is the official publication of the


"Partido Independentista Immediata" (Immediate Independence Party), edited by Rafael Palma,
Teodoro Kalaw, Fidel Reyes, et al. It was againts the economical exploitation of the country. This article
illustrates the control of the press through a paradigmatic journal, El Renacimiento which publication
has suffered from the strictness of U.S. censorship.

La Solidaridad  (1885)

On February 19, 1889, La Solidaridad emerged as the "mouthpiece of the revolution." With its policies,
it pursued "to work peacefully for social and economic changes, to reveal the true condition of the
Philippines and to advocate liberalism and democracy." The staff of the paper was comprised of known
personas like Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Mariano Ponce, Andres Bonifacio, Pio Valenzuela and
Graciano Lopez-Jaena.
