Lesson 2
ACTIVITY 2.2: Analyze the Author’s Purpose an author’s purpose is the
reason/s an author has for writing. Authors usually do not tell their purposes,
or reasons for writing. You have to figure them out. Read the autobiography of
Gregoria De Jesus and find out her purpose/s for writing. Determine also the
author’s main arguments. Watch out for the clues within the text itself. Write
your findings, observations and analysis in an essay format.

To enlighten our minds, the importance of giving one’s best in all endeavor, to
acknowledge the foundation, the solidity of our ancestor and the oblation they
went through in order for our country to be independent and to be free from
the colonizers.
Gregoria De Jesus wife of Andres Bonifacio. The founder and the vice-president
of the chapter of the Katipunan of the Philippines. She suffered countless
privations in the performance of the dangerous task which only women could
do undetected by the police. By reading It over and over again you can come
across plenty of occurrence that occur in the past, wherein Gregoria de Jesus
is a First Lady in the Philippines and a strong woman and independent lady.
the author main arguments that it was crucial for children of diaspora to
understand their rites, the strength of their ancestors and the oblation as well.
As what I have observe Gregoria De Jesus is woman with pride, dignity and
honor. Gregoria also entitled as a Lakambini that time as a practice of its
sacred principles, the first to translate of decipher the Katipunan.

years and yet their lives for the abstraction of democracy,
raised the democracy, not food although they clearly needed
it, but democracy! Not work, although surely wanted it but
democracy! Not money, but democracy. This statement got
my attention and it really affects my perspective in life,
indeed people before longing for democracy rather than food
to eat, the government before were very strict when it comes
to laws and rules, racism was there, people suffer from
poverty, live in a place where everything has a rule. That’s
why when it is Corazon Aquino presidency people are

Activity 2.3 Rhetorical analysis

Speech of her excellency Corazon C. Aquino President of the Philippines, during the Joint
Session of the United States Congress.

The speech presented in this lesson was obtained from an, which an official journal of the
Republic of the Philippines. This speech was delivered by the late President Corazon C. Aquino
in the U.S Congress, Washington DC, on September 18, 1986 six (6) month after her assumption
into official President of the Republic of the Philippines. This speech contains and indicating the
importance of democracy and some issues with regards to the opponent.
Corazon Aquinos appearance before the U.S Congress bestow a certain opportunity to the
analysis of speech. First how the speech conveyed and important to the Filipino and the
establishment of legitimacy on the claims as the President of the Philippines. Second how and
what long term implication form imposes for the Aquino presidency. The process and the
solution to get the better of the problems and how to address people’s aspirations and guardian
ship.
What long term implication form must be imposing for the corzaon Aquinos presidency. Well
one of implication that Corzaon imposes or plan to be impose is freedom, equality and most
importantly democracy which was neede by her people, no matter they don’t have any food to
eat, any job as long there is democracy. However, using the myth form may have its pros and
cons long term insinuation. The pessimistic side may add to Corazon’s posture as unavailing
brittle leader. In contrary the positive side is the emotional impact in both the Philippines and
United States which empowered politically defenseless people. Democracy renumeration it’s war
in opposition to the evils of maltreatment as the Filipino.
In summary to this analysis, Corazon Aquino was indeed doing her job as a President, establish a
government and democracy that shall give people freedom and equality. In spite of being a
woman who could imagine that she has a potential to carry the Philippines during her presidency,
a strong and versatile woman. The speech was delivered very clear and direct to the point, the
words being used are easy to understand, the speaker which is Corazon Aquino controlled herself
to every words she uttered as a sign of respect to the audience. And all was perfectly presented
that’s why during her speech she received tons of applause.

WHO: FARMERS
Land for the Landless
Not all people are lucky enough to own a land. A land which they can call
their own. As a citizen I have the right to address this kind of problems and
to raise awareness for the Filipino people who have been difficulties in
buying and owning a land for their livelihood. The government should
prioritize the farmers for they are the source of agricultural food, raise fund
for the misfortunate farmers. We face today a world of increasing repression
of rural communities and worsening threats to their rights to land and
resources. name of imperialist domination and plunder, local elite rule and
private profits.
The Agricultural Land Reform Code (RA 3844) was a major Philippine
land reform law enacted in 1963 under President Diosdado Macapagal. To
make the small farmers more independent, self-reliant and responsible
citizens, and a source of genuine strength in our democratic society
1. Quality Education
