Reaction Paper (Actofproclamation)
ESSAY
Instruction: Write a reaction paper or critique on the proclamation
of independence of Filipino people. Identify the strengths and
weaknesses of the topic.
The author's basis in preparing the act of proclamation comes from Aguinaldo. It
justifies the basis of the author from Aguinaldo who believed that declaring Philippine
independence was important. He believed that such a step would motivate the people
to fight the Spaniards more fiercely while also causing international countries to
recognize the country's independence.
After the proclamation, the Philippines is now an independent country. For me, there are
different definitions when we talk about an independent country. Independent countries
and states have their government and are not dominated by other countries. Citizens are
free to benefit from the program and projects of the Government. Also, they can develop
and implement their own foreign and domestic policies.
