    Santiago Alvarez was a general present at the Tejeros Convention and his writing provides a first-hand account as a primary source. Teodoro Agoncillo was a 20th century Philippine historian writing as a secondary source. Agoncillo provided more context around the events before and after the convention compared to Alvarez, who focused only on what happened at the election. Both sources are seen as somewhat biased based on their perspectives, with Alvarez potentially favoring the Magdiwang faction he led and Agoncillo writing later with the benefit of additional information not available to Alvarez.

    ANSWERS:

    Who is Santiago Alvarez? How come his writing is a primary source?

    He is a general, Honorary president and founder of the directorate of the Nacionalista


    party. He became famous for his bravery and courage during the battles in Cavite. He is the child
    of revolutionary general named Mariano Alvarez. His writing is a primary source because he was
    there when the incident happened.

    Who is Teodoro Agoncillo? How come his writing is a secondary source?

    He is a prominent 20th century Filipino hostoria. He and his contemporary Renato


    Constantino were among the earliest Filipino hostorians known to adopt a distinctly nationalistic
    view of Philippine history. His writing is secondary as he is a prominent 20th century of the
    Philippine historian and reports on the events of the “Tejeros Convention”.

    Convention”

    Form your internal and external criticisms over the two sources.

    INTERNAL CRITICISMS Santiago Alvarez is a revolutionary general who is in


    charge of maintaining activities in certain places. As the
    main source, he only mentioned what actually happened at
    the time, not knowing the truth between the opposite
    factions. The narrative sounds skewed because he didn’t
    tell the truth from Magdiwang and Magdalo’s point of
    view.
    Teodoro Agoncillo as a secondary source, he mentioned
    the events before and after the election, including the
    description, reason and location of the two factions and the
    difference between the two.

    EXTERNAL CRITICISMS For me, Santiago Alvarez is a little bit bias because it was
    not detailed. He just describes chronologically without
    saying the root of everything.

    For Teodoro Agoncillo it was well written. But in my own


    personal opinion, I don’t trust him, given the quality of his
    book from which the excerpt comes. But overall the story is
    still good event though the have the different ways of
    telling the plot.
