1.)Note at least three significant observations you can find in this Juan Luna's masterpiece.

• The movement of Juan Luna where in it falls under Romanticism because it depicts a historical event
that happened during the Spanish occupation.

▪ I noticed the darkness in his painting that builds tension and gives an impact to the painting itself.

▪ I have noticed things such as the cup a man is holding and the arm of the one who is facing his back
that from Rizal what I have gained from reading Rizal's annotation of Morga, the man who is facing his
back.

2.) From your observations, infer the intention of Luna in making the painting.

• - To ensure the pease and friendship between the two nations that they represented which are the
Spanish and the Philippines. To further preserve the memory and spirit of the first treaty of peace and
friendship, and of Datu Sikatuna himself, a presidential award and decoration bestowed upon visiting
dignitaries. Blood compact represent a ritual and agreement between two equals, constituting a pledge
of eternal fraternity and alliance.

3.) 3. Write your own interpretation of the meaning of the painting

. - The blood represents the two nation's peace and friendship between the colonized and the colonizer
as a role of agreement. Despite its crucial significance in Filipino conceptions od history, its is seldom
interrogated in Philippine history. This article revisits the making of a founding myth of Filipino
nationhood in light of scholarship on ancient blood oaths and the historical account of the encounter of
Sikatuna and Legazpi. This make the Filipino to have a peaceful agreement for peaceful friendship.
