Spain and which were “frankly anti-Catholic” and “imprudently anti-friar”.

bundle of handbills entitled Pobres Frailes in which the patient and humble
generosity of Filipinos is satirized, and which accusation is published against
the customs of the religious orders”.

(burgos, Gomez, and Zamora), and on the title page he wrote that in view of
the vices and errors of the Spanish administration, “the only salvation for the
Philippines was separation from the mother country”.
