ANALYSIS

Answer the following questions.

1. Below are some of the rules that can be found in Kartilya:
X. On the thorny path of life, man is the guide of woman and the children, and if the
guide leads to precipice, those whom he guides will also go there.
-This rule is can be found at the 10th of rules that has been created.

In Tagalog/ Filipino: Sa daang matinik ng kabuhayan, lalaki ay siyang patugot ng asawa’t

mga anak: kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang pagtutunguhan ng inaakay ay
kasamaan din.

Which means: All of us needs to be a model for everyone because whatever they saw in us
will also be followed by the people who sees us. And a true man leads his family to the right
path by showing them that he is righteous.

XI. Thou must not look upon woman as a mere plaything, but as a faithful companion
who will share with thee the penalties of life; her (physical) weakness will increase thy
interest in her and she will remind thee of the mother who bore thee and reared thee.
-This rule is can be found at the 11th of rules that has been created.

In Tagalog/ Filipino: Ang babae ay huwag mong tignang isang bagay na libangan lamang,
kundi isang katuang at karamay sa mga kahirapan nitong kabuhayan; gamitan mo nag boong
pagpipitagan ang kaniyang kahinaan, at alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhatan at nagiwi sa
iyong kasanggulan.

Which means: This principle is about women. That every woman deserves to be respected
and no man shall see them as an object nor a past time. Just like what they always say, a
man who don’t respect a woman do not respect his mother who gave him birth. Girls deserve
to be loved with full respect and care.

XII. What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and sisters, that
do not unto the wife, children, brothers and sisters of thy neighbor.

-In Tagalog/ Filipino: Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa mo, anak at kapatid, ay huwag
mong gagawin sa asawa, anak at kapatid ng iba.

Which means: Every action that any man do is important. Every action has its own
consequences. We must not do bad things against other people if we don’t want other people
to do bad things against us.

What do these provisions or rules of Kartilya imply?

Kartilya ng Katipunan teachings are moral and intellectual foundations for guiding
Katipuneros and expressing moralities' essential for joining the secret society. These
teachings explain the relationship between peoples' words and actions.

2. Give a short background on the events that led to the independence

of the country, the Philippines.
*Spain cedes control of the Philippines, and Filipino rebels were crushed. The besieged
Manila and the decimated provincial Spanish forces. Emilio Aguinaldo declared the revolution
from the balcony of his home in Cavite. On June 12, 1898, the Philippines gained their
freedom.
*Aguinaldo saw a chance for the Philippines to attain independence after the U.S. declared
war on Spain; the U.S. hoped instead that Aguinaldo would give his forces to its campaign
against Spain. On May 19, 1898, he returned to Manila, and on June 12, 1898, he proclaimed
Philippine independence.

*Emilio Aguinaldo-led Filipino rebels during the Spanish-American War proclaim the
Philippines' freedom from Spanish domination after 300 years. Throughout Luzon, uprisings
erupted, and in March 1897, 28-year-old Emilio The rebellion's leader was Aguinaldo.
APPLICATION

1.In this lesson, analyze and explain how these historical contexts shaped and
continue to shape people‟s perspectives.

-Historical context is an important part of life and literature, and without it,
memories, stories, and characters have less meaning. Historical context deals
with the details that surround an occurrence. In more technical terms,
historical context refers to the social, religious, economic, and political
conditions that existed during a certain time and place. Basically, it's all the
details of the time and place in which a situation occurs, and those details are
what enable us to interpret and analyze works or events of the past, or even
the future, rather than merely judge them by contemporary standards.

2.Integrate evidence from multiple relevant historical sources and

interpretations into a reasoned argument about the reading the
“Proclamation of the Philippine Independence”.

-The most significant achievement of Aguinaldo's Dictatorial Government was

the proclamation of Philippine Independence in Kawit, Cavite, on June 12,
1898. The day was declared a national holiday. Thousands of people from the
provinces gathered in Kawit to witness the historic event.

It was on June 12, 1898, when the “Act of the Proclamation of Independence
of the Filipino People” was read at General Emilio Aguinaldo’s ancestral
house in Kawit, Cavite. The country’s independence, however, was not
achieved quickly.

Through the Treaty of Paris, the Spaniards ceded its control of the islands to
the Americans, causing the Philippine-American War and, consequently,
United States’ rule of the country. It was only on July 4, 1946, when
independence was totally granted to the Philippines. Since then,
Independence Day was celebrated on July 4.

Then in 1962, the country’s ninth President, Diosdado Macapagal, proclaimed

June 12 a public holiday “in commemoration of our people’s declaration of
their inherent and inalienable right to freedom and independence.” The
change was confirmed through Republic Act No. 4166 in 1964.
Since the nation’s right to liberty is not derived from the grant or recognition of
another but is an attribute it naturally holds, Mr. Macapagal found it “proper
that what we should celebrate not the day when other nations gave
recognition to our independence, but the day when we declared our desire to
exercise our inherent and inalienable right to freedom and independence.”

He further explained that compared to the independence granted by the

Americans in 1946, the declaration of independence in 1898 is signified by the
determination and unity of local government leaders to revolt.

He credited General Aguinaldo for galvanizing the entire nation to action, that
when he “formally assumed political command and declared his country free
from [colonizers], a nation came into being.’’
