The leader of propaganda movement was Jose Rizal. Jose Rizal and his men wrote a lots of stories relating to the abusement of the Spaniards to the Filipinos . When Jose Rizal was exiled in Dapitan the propaganda movement decreases its power.

The propaganda movement was considered as a failure . They failed because they don’t have managed their movement . They didn’t built a government . And they don’t have a president who will guide them what to do. If they don’t have leaders they’re organization will easily be fail. On of the reason why it failed because the propagandist wanted to take over the position that become a leader of propaganda movement.
