36-40. Nationalism was non-existent in the Philippines before the 19 th Century.

Up until then, the Philippines was a collection of principalities, rather than a
sovereign state with a sense of unified national identity..In the years before the
11th century, the Philippines was divided into numerous principalities known as
barangays, a name derived from Malayan boats called balangays. These small
political units were ruled by datus, rajahs or sultans. Nationalism came to the
Philippines in the 19th century

41-45. Western imperialism led the peoples of Asia and Africa to assert their right
to self-determination.
Between 1945 and 1960, three dozen new states in Asia and Africa achieved
autonomy or outright independence from their European colonial rulers. There
was no one process of decolonization. In some areas, it was peaceful, and orderly.
In many others, independence was achieved only after a protracted revolution. A
few newly independent countries acquired stable governments almost
immediately; others were ruled by dictators or military juntas for decades, or
endured long civil wars. The United States generally supported the concept of
national self-determination, it also had strong ties to its European allies, who had
imperial claims on their former colonies. The Cold War only served to complicate
the U.S. position, as U.S. support for decolonization was offset by American
concern over communist expansion and Soviet strategic ambitions in Europe.

46.-50. Nationalism was potent force in the 19th century world of Dr. Jose Rizal.
Yes it is largely true that nationalism was potent force in the 19th century world of
Dr. Jose Rizal. It brought to its advent by several major factors such as; economy,
education and secularization of parishes, influx of liberal ideas and racial
prejudice.
