sUMMARIZE AND WRITE A REFLECTION ABOUT PHILIPPINE MILITARY HISTORY (20 PTS)

PHILIPPINE MILITARY HISTORY

WE CAN SAY THAT BEFORE OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS IN THIS CURRENT ERA, THERE ARE ALSO MANY BRAVE SOLDIERS THAT FoUGHT
AND RISK THEIR LIVES JUST TO REGAIN oUR FREEDOM AGAINST OUR INVADERS
IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE SPANISH SETTLERS WHO JUST DISCOVERED OUR coUNTRY AND TRIES TO PUT IT UNDER THE SPANISH
RULE.THE EXPEDITION WAS LED BY FERDINAND MAGELLAN. EVEN THOUGH THE SPANIARDs WAS FULL OF ARMOR AND
ADVANCED WEAPONS,OUR BRAVE NATIVES WITH DATU LAPU LARH PROTECTS OUR COUNTRY AND HE DIDNT LET THE
SPANIARDS TOOK OVER OUR MEN AND PUT OUR CoUNTRY UNDER THE SPANISH THRONE.THE BATTLE OF MACTAN WAS THE
BATTLE OF oUR NATION BETWEEN UR COUNTRY AND INVADERS, AND OUR HEROES FOUGHT FIERCELY AND WE WON. IT'S OUR
FIRST BATTLE AGAINST OTHER NATION AND WE TOTALLY BEAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE LACK OF POWERFUL WEAPONS.
IT PROOFS THAT FILIPINOs ARE NOT JUST SOME OTHER NATIONS THA CANT JUST DEFEAT.
BUT JUST LIKE IN A SAYING THAT IF THERE'S A SUNSHINE THERE'S ALSO A RAINFALLAFTER MANY EXPEDITION SEND BY SPAIN,
FINALLY THEY'RE SUCCEEDED TAKING CONTROL OF OUR COUNTRY BY THE LEADERSHIP OF MIGUEL LOPEZ DE LEGAZPI.AFTER THE
cOLONIZATiON, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS IS UNDER THE SPANISH COLONIAL THERE PLENTY OF REVOLTS HAPPENED BUT NONE OF

THEM SUCCEEDED BECAUSE OF FAILED LEADERSHIP OR UNPLANNED ATTACKS. BUT IN THE END OF 19TH CENTURY, FILIPINOS

REALIZED THAT THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING AND WORK TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST THEIR REAL ENEMIES

MANY THINGS EVOKES THE FILIPINOS TO REVOLT LIKE THE NOVELS OF THE J0SE RIZAL : NOL ME TANGERE AND EL

FILIBUSTERISMO,ALSO THE KKK OR KATAAS-TAASANG KAGALANG-GALANGANG KATIPUNAN NG MGA ANAK N AN

ESTABLISHMENT.

IN THIS PERIoD, FORMER PRESIDENT AGUINALDO CREATES AN ARMED FORCES THAT WILL PRoTECTS OUR CoUNTRY

AFTER THE PHILIPPINE REVOLUTION WE FINALLY GET OUR INDEPENDENCE AGAINST SPANIARDS. BUT LITTLE WE DID KNOW

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE A AGREEMENT REGARDING OF SELLING OUR LAND FROM SPAIN TO USA. IT IS THE TREATY
OF PARIS. THEN THE PHILIPPINE-AMERICAN WAR AGAIN HAPPENED, AND YET AGAIN WE LOST AGAINST THE AMERICANS

BECAUSE OF FAIL LEADERSHIP OF THE GoVERNMENT DURING THAT TIME.THEN ANOTHER FOREIGN COUNTRY COLONIZES OUR
coUNTRY. UNDER THE AMERICANS EVERYTHING CHANGE EVEN IN OUR MILITARY, THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY WAS

FOUNDED AND PHILIPPINE CONSTABULARY WAS DEPLOYED. AND AFTER MANY OF YEARS FINALLY PHILIPPINES WAS GRANTED
OF CHANGE OF HAVING A LIBERATED coUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE TYDDINGS-MCDUFFIE ACT AND PHILIPPINE IS NOW UNDER THE
COMMONWEALTH WHICH MANUEL LUIS QUEZzON IS THE PRESIDENT.DURING THE COMMONWEALTH PERIOD,THE NATIONAL
DEFENSE ACT OF 1935 PASSED AND THE NEW PHILIPPINE ARMY.WE'RE BEING PREPARED TO OUR FREEDOM BUT
UNFORTUNATELY IT INTERRUPTED DUE OF WORLD WAR 2 AND THE JAPANESE OccUPATION
THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN THE FAR EAST AND THE GUERILLAS LIKE HUKBALAHAP FOUGHT cOURAGEOUSLY TO
LIBERATE THE PHILIPPINES AND AFTER A MONTHS A YEAR OF FIGHTING FILIPINOS AND AMERICANS FINALLY DEFEATED THE
JAPANESE FORCES. AFTER THE WAR IN 1846 PHILIPPINES FINALLY ACHIEVE IT'S LIFETIME GOAL, FREEDOM, FREEDOM FROM
OTHER NATION WHEN FINALLY UNITED STATES GRANTED INDEPENDENCE TO OUR COUNTRY. ALSO PHILIPPINES DIDN'T JUST
FOUGHT FOR OUR LAND ALSO IN OTHER'S TOO.
IN FACT PHILIPPINES SENT FORCES DURING KOREAN WAR AND THE VIETNAM WAR. IT PROVES THAT FILIPINOS ARE NOT JUST
BRAVE BUT ALSO HAVE A HEART TO HELP AND FIGHT FOR EVERYONE.
UNTIL NOW PHILIPPINE MILITARY IS MAKING A DEVELOPMENT AND TO IMPROVE TO ASSURE TO US FILIPINOS THAT WE ARE
PROTECTED FROM ANY DANGER WE ENCOUNTERED.
ILEARNED THAT EVEN THOUGH US FILIPINOS FACES DIFFICULT SITUATION WE STILL STOOD STRONG TO BRAVE ENOUSTO FIGHT
WHAT WE REALLY WANT,AND THAT IS FREEDOM. THAT NO MATTER HAPPENED WE MUST FIGHT AND NEVER GIVE TO WHAT WE

REALLY DESIRE TO ACHIEVE

IM INSPIRED OF WHAT ARE PHILIPPINE HEROES DOES FOR OUR coUNTRY

IT'S NOW MY TIME TO MY DUTY AS WELL

TO BE A BETTER CITIZEN OF THIS BELOVED COUNTRY AND ALSO MAKE NOT GO TO WASTE WHAT BRAVE SOLDIERS FOUGHT FOR

OUR FREEDOM
ACTIVITY #2

CHOOSE ONE OF THE INTERNAL THREATS AND ANOTHER EXTERNAL THREAT THAT YOU THINK US NEEDED TO BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY
BY THE GOVERNMENT THEN EXPLAIN WHY (25PTS)

INTERNAL THREAT

1. CYBERCRIME
CYBERCRIME IS ONE THE INTERNAL PROBLEM PHILIPPINES FACE TODAY.BECAUSE OF THE CcONTINUOUSLY GROW OF THE
soCIAL MEDIA. AND THIS IS THE CAUSE WHY THERE'S PLENTY OF CYBERCRIME AROUND OUR COUNTRY INCLUDING
SCAMMING AND MANY MORE. I THINK THE REASON WHY THE GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE ACTION ON THIS

IMMEDIATELY IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THIS PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY UNSTOPPABLE IT ALREADY

CAUSES A LOT OF DAMAGE AND MONEY LOSS

EXTERNAL THREAT

TERRORISM

TERRORISM IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN OUR COUNTRY MOST ESPECIALLY IN SOUTH PART OF THE PHILIPPINES.
EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE MARAWI SIEGE WHICH ISIS LIKE GROUP ATTACKED MARAWI AND CAUSES MANY CASUALTIES
AND DAMAGES. THE GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT'S A THREAT TO oUR CITIZEN AND
GOVERNMENT MUST TOOK ACTION TO IMPROVE THE SECURITY NoT JUST IN ONE AREA BUT IN A WHOLE CoUNTRY.
