GEC 007: Readings in Philippine History

Assessment

WEEK 5
LESSON 9 ARGUMENTATIVE DISCOURSE
1. In your opinion, do you think that Rizal would retract
his statements?

2. Hypothetically, supposed that Dr. Jose Rizal did

retract his statements against the Catholic church and
the Spanish government, and you were given the chance to
talk to Jose Rizal, what would you say to him about his
retraction?

3. How do you think the history of the Philippines be

written if it were true that Rizal retracted and that he
was not executed as a result? Could there had been a
revolution?

LESSON 10 DISCOURSE
China has been very aggressive in its claim of most
parts of the South China Sea or the West Philippine Sea.
How would you use this Convention between the United
States of America and Great Britain Delimiting the
Boundary between the Philippine Archipelago and the State
of North Borneo {1930} as a counter evidence of the
Philippines in defending its territory and sovereignty?
