Questions:

1. What facilitated the development of the Filipino Nationalism and Patriotism that
became the reasons why they fought against the Spanish Rule.
 Three big influences that develops of Filipino Nationalism is economics,
education, and church secularization. The Filipino Nationalism was born with
these influences. The Philippines were just a few examples of how the
Philippines evolved to become a prosperous economy. The opening of foreign or
world trade, the growth of the middle class and the introduction of liberal ideas.
 Philippine nationalism's first appearance was accompanied by a movement of
propaganda or change in the 1880s and 1890s. Conducted both in Spain and in
the Philippines to "propagandize" the Philippines in the expectation that desired
reforms will take place through diplomatic means in the social, political, and
economic lives of the Filipinos.

2. Will you agree that there was a Cavity Mutiny as being claimed by the Spanish
Authority that leads to the death of GOMBURZA? Why or Why not?
 It was merely a mutiny by the Cavite arsenal laborers in response to the abolition
of their rights on General Izquierdo's orders on January 20, 1872. Sergeant
Lamadrid led a group of about 200 men, including soldiers, laborers, and Cavite
citizens, in assassinating all Spanish officers in sight, including the commanding
officer. However, Gen. Izquierdo and the friars inflated the case to frighten the
Spanish government into delaying the implementation of changes for the native
Filipinos. Izquierdo used the occasion to instill distrust in the hearts of native
Filipinos.

3. Explain the significance of the Propaganda Movement and the La Solidaridad in the
quest of Philippine Independence.
 Graciano López Jaena was the founder of La Solidaridad newspaper in
Barcelona in 1888. Throughout the course of this case, La Solidaridad insisted
 that changes be carried out both in religion as well as in government in the
Philippines. The young José Rizal y Mercado was one of the main contributors to
La Solidaridad. The Philippines was affected by the two political novels: the
Philippines' Noli me tangere (1887) and the Philippine's El filibusterismo (1991).
As the three leaders of the Propaganda movement, López Jaena, Rizal, and
journalist Marcelo del Pilar, they grew magazines, poems, and pamphlets.

Rizal towards Filipino nationalism that Patriotism before and at the present.

brilliant, but also to rise and defy the Spanish colonial administration. Though
Rizal's death caused a revolt to eradicate dictatorship, his love for the Philippine
people and the nation will still be remembered. His books have brought on the
nationalism of the Philippines. Rizal contributed to the Spanish daily, La
Solidaridad during his time in Barcelona essays, poems, allegories, and
editorials. He also requested the Philippines' incorporation as a Province of Spain
as part of his reforms.

5. Discuss the significance of the Katipunan Society for our country’s quest to have an
Independent Government.
 In 1892, Filipinos involved in overcoming the law of Spain created an
organization that would coordinate organized opposition and terrorist
assassinations in full secrecy in accordance with masonic ceremonies and rules.
it was running with a president and a council as alternate Philippine
administration. When Andrés Bonifacio got even more militant when he took
charge of the organization. The Philippine revolution started with the Grito de
Balintawak. The Philippines tore up their certificates of taxation and citizenship
and began to contest the Luzon.

6. Will you consider Andres Bonifacio as First President of the Philippine Government?
Why or Why not?
 Yes, because he is good at leadership that led to Spanish revolt.
  He has a strong sense of responsibility and an optimistic attitude. Love for his
mother tongue and patriotism.
 Bonifacio even established a secret society, the Katipunan, which led the
Spanish revolt and laid the basis for the first Philippine Republic. That is why I
consider Bonifacio as a first President because of his strong leadership.

7. Will you consider Emilio Aguinaldo as a National Hero despite of all the controversies
during his administration. Why or Why not?
 Because Aguinaldo was elected the first president of the new republic under the
Malolos Congress and gained Philippine independence from Spain. He also led
the Philippine-American War on the U.S. Philippine independence resistance.
 The nationalist movement in Philippines was headed by Emile Aguinaldo against
the Spanish colonial regime. In the Spanish-American War, he cooperated with
the United States but later broke with the US and waged a guerrilla movement
during the Philippine-American war against the US authorities.

8. In you own idea. What can you say about the result of the Tejeros Convention that
leads to the two faction of the Katipunan?
 A convention was held in Tejeros on March 22, 1897, to resolve the conflict
between the two councils and determine what form of government should be
established. Bonifacio was given the task of presiding over the election of officers
for the newly formed government. However, before this, Bonifacio established
the law that the assembly would obey the election results, regardless of the
outcome. Bonifacio called the Tejeros Convention null and void due to shame
and anger.

9. What made the Truce of Biak na Bato a failure?

  It was no truce, it was a concession to Spain from the insurgents in the
Philippines following the rebellion of 1896 and the subsequent defeat of the
Spanish forces, with a new status arrangement with Spain.
 It failed for obvious reasons: the US interfered, and the insurgents, seeing
Spanish authority crumble, revolted once more a month before the war ended.
Speaking at the behest of the US and by payments to Spain, both Spain and
America dismissed that. Having said that the popular view now outside Spain
(this is the United States and the Philippines) completely ignored Biak-na-Bato
and pretended that the US had interfered in the Philippines to help the rebels.

10. Why is the church became the center of the discussion during Spanish
Colonization?
 The Catholic Church was without a doubt the most powerful institution. Someone
who lived in the area was supposedly a Church member. From conception to
death, the Church has complete authority of all facets of life. The Church grew to
be the colony's single largest landowner, relying on commercial agriculture to
fund many of its activities. Vertically incorporated commercial practices such as
sheep production and weaving, grape production and brandy production were
produced by religious orders within the Church. The Church's missionaries
oversaw converting the millions of natives of the New World to Christianity, which
was a difficult task due to significant linguistic and cultural differences.
