History Source – Primary Source

Advantage:

• The author is considered an eyewitness considering that he is one of the members of

Magdiwang and was also present in the Tejeros convention which leads it to being bias because he was
only able to write his experience and the group where he belonged from his own perspective. The
content from this account seems to be shorter than the secondary source.

Disadvantage:

Agoncillo

History Source - Secondary Source

Advantage:

• Has many events he put on the book and also he had many sources and information.

Disadvantage:
