Another society founded with patriotic aims who sympathized with the Filipino cause. It's aspiration was to work for the material and moral improvement of the Philippines.

• A. Execution of GOMBURZA
• B. Secularization
• C. Civil Rights
• D. Hispano-Filipino

Answer: (D)

Patriotic reformist groups in the colonial Philippines sought to uplift the nation through reforms within the Spanish system. The Hispano-Filipino Society fits this description: it was founded by Filipinos and Spaniards who shared a liberal reformist outlook and sympathized with the Filipino cause. Its aim was to work for the material and moral improvement of the Philippines, focusing on things like education, economic development, and civic virtue while seeking reforms rather than outright independence at that time. This matches the described aspiration better than the other items, which refer to an event (the execution of GOMBURZA) or to reform topics (secularization) or to a broad or non-specific concept (civil rights) rather than a concrete reformist society.
