1. Anong uri ang ito ng dokumento? Kailan at sino ang sumulat ng dokumento?
- This document is an essay or a reflection of some sorts, it seems to have been written by
Jose Rizal in the late 1800’s.
2. Para kanino nilikha o sinulat ang dokumento? Paano mo ito nasabi?
- This document seems to have been written for the future generation of Filipinos,
specifically ones in the 1980’s. This document seems to be a recounting of what the
Philippines is like under Spanish control. The document seems to be hinting at the ideas
of liberation of the Philippines from Spanish rule.
3. Bakit kaya isinulat o nilikha ang dokumento? Ano ang mensahe na nais maiparating ng
dokumento? Sumipi ng sagot sa nilalaman ng dokumento.
- As stated above, this document seems to be written for future reference for the coming
generations of Filipinos, and to hint at and plant seeds of liberation among the Filipinos
against Spanish rule. This can be seen when Jose Rizal writes that each country gets the
fate it deserves, and hints at representatives of the country not doing their jobs.
4. Anu-anong tatlong bagay ang sa iyong palagay ang mahalagang ipinapahayag ng dokumento?
Maglista ng tatlo.
- Independence of the Philippines from Spain. Representatives were chosen by Spain to
only serve the Spanish Kingdom’s best interests, and not the colony's interests.
- History must be properly recorded, abuses must be recorded, and everything must be
accounted for.
- The native Filipinos had not advanced under Spanish rule, and only the followers of
Spanish friars have been “redeemed from their savagery”.
5. Ano-anong kondisyon at pangyayari ang ipinapahayag ng mga dokumento tungkol sa buhay sa
Pilipinas kung kailan isinulat ang dokumento? Isa-isahin at ipaliwanag.
- Essentially the document talks about how the Philippines did not experience significant
enough growth and progress under Spanish rule. Jose Rizal writes that the natives didn’t
experience growth and only the followers of Spanish friars, which is essentially the
Spanish Kingdom experienced growth and were “redeemed from their savagery”. He also
wrote that the Filipinos who were loyal to the Spaniards were taken advantage of.
6. Ano-anong pagbabago ang nangyari sa Pilipinas at pamumuhay ng mga Pilipino bago at sa
panahon ng kolonyalismong Espanyol? Isa-isahin at ipaliwanag.
- Life before the Spaniards essentially had the Filipinos being ruled by fear by the local
rulers. There wasn’t a sense of unity among the people, and wars had occurred. Under
Spanish rule, the Filipinos had lost their ancient traditions and had slowly adopted
Spanish ideals and customs. Followers of the Spaniards were “liberated from their
savagery”. This meant that they forgot their language, their writings, and the old ways to
wholeheartedly accept a new foreign set of rules and a language which was not theirs.
Filipinos had endured many years of mistreatment by the Spaniards and the loss of their
own culture.
7. Ano-anong katangian ng kolonyalismo ang maaring mahinuha mula sa dokumento? Nakabuti
o nakasama ba ang kolonyalismo sa mga Pilipino? Ipaliwanag.
- Essentially colonialism according to the document is the writing over the native culture
and tradition, and replacing it with the colonizer’s culture and traditions. Colonialism
according to the document also comes with the colonizers taking advantage of the
colonies. Essentially the colony becomes a puppet state of the colonizers. In some ways,
colonialism was good for the Philippines due to the progress SOME Filipinos developed.
However, colonialism was mostly bad for the Filipinos, as the Spaniards took advantage
of the country and the Filipinos, and had essentially erased most, if not all forms of old
culture.
8. Ayon kay Rizal, ano-ano ang apat na prediksyon o hula ang maaring maganap sa Pilipinas sa
loob ng sandaang taon? Paano/kailan mangyayari at maaring maiwasang mangyari ang bawat
prediksyon? Ano-ano ang dapat gawin ng pamahalaan at mga Espanyol upang mahadlangang
maganap ang bawat prediksyon? Batay sa mga pangyayari sa kasaysayan, alin sa mga hula o
prediksyon ni Rizal ang nagkatotoo o hindi nangyari? Isa-isahin at ipaliwanag.
- Rizal predicted four things being:
a) Gradual extermination of the native inhabitants. Rizal predicted this to not
happen, as the Filipinos have proven to be a hardy people. They have not
succumbed to foreigners, nor war, nor epidemics. They have experienced numbers
dropping, but nothing has driven them to the brink of extinction. Again, this is
true even today. As globalization becomes even more prevalent, we seem to lose
touch with our culture, but the Filipino culture and population remains strong in
spite of what happens.
b) Poverty hinders development in the Philippines. In order to prevent poverty from
ruining the colony, and to prevent the Philippines from turning into the lame child
of Spain, the Spaniards must have ensured that there were laws that benefited all
Filipinos, instead of the Filipinos who followed the Spaniards. It was noted that
Filipinos who were loyal to the Spaniards were considerably better off than
Filipinos who were against the Spaniards. Again, this prediction came true, as the
gap between rich and poor grows larger every year. This gap has been prevalent
even since colonial times.
c) Brutalization of the “Malayan Filipino” or the native Filipinos. This is still seen
even today, but not to the extent of which it once was. Sadly, there is still a stigma
of “white is better” which is seen everywhere in the Philippines. However, in
colonial times, the native Filipinos were treated poorly, as they were not given the
same opportunities as Spaniards in the Philippines, mestizos and mestizas, and
Filipinos who were loyal to Spain. This prediction is somewhat true, but not to the
extent of which Rizal predicted it to be.
d) Fostering feuds among the races. Rizal says that this was formerly possible, when
communication was hard to come by. But since communication has risen among
different people, there is unity for a common cause. This is true even today, as
communication takes to new levels, it is easier to meet like minded people.
9. Paano nakatulong o nakasagabal ang kolonyalismong Espanyol sa pagkabuo ng kamalayang
pambansa o damdaming makabansa ng mga Pilipino. Isa-isahin at ipaliwanag.
- Overall, Spanish colonialism, while pushing the Philippines in the direction of
modernization, did more damage than was intended. Yes, the Spaniards introduced
modern, western concepts to the Philippines, but the amount of cultural damage, and
damage to the Filipinos that was done was too much. Colonialism, because of how the
Spaniards handled it, gave the Filipinos a reason to rebel, and a national consciousness of
wanting independence from the colonizers.
1. Anong uri ang ito ng dokumento? Kailan at sino ang sumulat ng dokumento?
- This document seems to be a letter to the Filipino people. This letter seems to be
written by Andres Bonifacio in 1896.
2. Para kanino nilikha o sinulat ang dokumento? Paano mo ito nasabi?
- This letter is addressed to the Filipinos, or more specifically, the Tagalogs. The
letter is essentially a rallying cry to the Filipinos to galvanize a revolutionary
movement. Bonifacio wants them to realize that the Spaniards have not kept their
promises to them.
3. Bakit kaya isinulat o nilikha ang dokumento? Ano ang mensahe na nais maiparating ng
bawat dokumento? Sumipi ng sagot sa nilalaman ng dokumento
- The letter is a rallying cry to the Filipinos to galvanize a revolutionary movement
against the Spaniards. This can be seen when Bonifacio reminds the Filipinos that
the Spaniards took a traditional Filipino oathtaking ritual which involved drinking
their blood as a blood pact. He then writes that the Spaniards have taken
advantage of them, and have the Filipinos fighting their battles against the
Chinese and Dutch, while they grow fat and complacent.
4. Anu-anong tatlong bagay ang sa iyong palagay ang mahalagang ipinapahayag ng bawat
dokumento? Maglista ng tatlo.
- Seeing the context of the letter, which is essentially the rallying cry of the
Filipinos before the fight for independence from Spain, I believe that these three
messages to be the most important:
- The Spaniards made a promise to the Filipinos that they would make life better,
but instead betrayed their trust for their own purposes.
- The Spaniards lack compassion for Filipinos, responding to pleas for help with
banishment, and punishment with brute force.
- Bonifacio states that it is time for the Filipinos to realize the source of their
misfortunes, being the Spaniards.
5. Ano-anong kondisyon at pangyayari ang ipinapahayag ng mga dokumento tungkol sa
buhay sa Pilipinas? Isa-isahin at ipaliwanag.
- Essentially life has become worse for the common Filipino under the Spaniards.
There is no stability under Spanish rule. Many people have been put to death for
simply not agreeing with Spanish ideals, and this has left families broken. The
system under the Spaniards has become rife with corruption, and the Filipinos
have essentially turned into tools and slaves for the Spanish.
6. Ano-anong pagbabago ang nangyari sa Pilipinas at pamumuhay ng mga Pilipino bago at
sa panahon ng kolonyalismo? Isa-sahin at ipaliwanag.
- Again, the Spaniards have taken advantage of the Filipinos during the colonial
age of the country. Before colonialism, the Filipinos were divided, but were
largely at peace and lived in harmony with each other. During the Spanish
colonial era, Filipinos were more united, but under a corrupt ruling party. Quality
of life drastically decreased under Spanish rule.
7. Ano-anong katangian ng kolonyalismo ang maaring mahinuha mula sa dokumento?
Nakabuti o nakasama ba ang kolonyalismo sa mga Pilipino?
- The characteristics of colonialism in the document were all very negative. The
Spaniards broke a promise with the Filipinos to make their lives better, and
instead they treated them as second class citizens in their own countries. Any
signs of dissent were immediately met with punishment, ranging from banishment
from their families and loved ones, to beatings. The Spaniards essentially took
advantage of the Filipinos and turned them into slaves, without officially calling
them slaves. They had the Filipinos fight their battles for them, while they grew
complacent.
8. Paano nakatulong o nakasagabal ang kolonyalismong Espanyol sa pagkabuo ng
kamalayang pambansa o damdaming makabansa ng mga Pilipino.
- Spanish colonialism helped develop the national consciousness of the Filipino by
giving them something to unite against, and to rally together for. The abuses and
misconduct committed by the Spaniards helped ignite Filipino nationalism.
9. Paano dapat maging isang makabansang Pilipino sa isip, sa puso, sa salita at sa gawa?
- A Filipino nationalist must have the want and desire to see the country be better,
in whatever manner that may be. In their minds, they must love their country and
think of ways to make it better. In their hearts, they must love their country
unconditionally, they must be unafraid of bettering their country. If it means
speaking out against injustices, and facing the fear of punishment, their love for
the country must be greater than their fear. In the way they talk, they must show
their want for the country to be better. They can be blunt about the state of the
country, but their words must come from a place of love and want for
improvement. Their deeds must be performed with the love of their country. Their
actions reflect their country, so they must take that into consideration as well.
10. Ano-ano ang mga katangian, pagpapahalaga, at pilosopiya na dapat taglayin at pagkilos
na dapat isagawa ng isang makabansang Pilipino?
- Most obviously, a Filipino nationalist must show that they love their country, and
they want their country to improve. They must be willing to see their country for
how it really is, and not hold an idealized or overly pessimistic view of their
country. They should be proud of their heritage, and they should look to advance
the future of their children, and the future of their country.

4.3-2.3-A
- From the excerpt, the execution of the GomBurZa questioned Spanish authorities and
demanded reforms. The priests help spark the propaganda movement of the treatments
given by the Spanish colonies.
2. Bakit pinatay ang tatlong paring sina GomBurZa? Bakit naging kontrobersiyal ang
kanilang kamatayan?
- The three priests were executed under the accusation of treason and taking part in the
rebellion. Their deaths became controversial as the Spanish believed the Cavite rebellion
as a large conspiracy including both the clergymen and the local residents to overthrow
the Spanish government.
3. Bakit kaya pinagdududahan ang pagiging makabayan o kabayanihan ng tatlong paring
sina GomBurZa? Tukuyin at ipaliwanag ang inyong pagkakaunawa sa isyung ito? Maaring
magsaliksik ng ibang sanggunian (references) upang ganap na masagot at malinawan sa
kontrobersiyang ito.
- From the text, the priests are being questioned on their intent and if they were even
present during the Cavite mutiny. Nevertheless, the priests and later their deaths have
become a symbol of nationalism, as it gave rise to the idea of fighting back against the
oppressors. Further research showed that the church has become separate from the state,
and thus influenced the people differently. The priests all had different motivations at the
time, some nobel while some self serving. This led to their patriotism being questioned as
they did not fully mean for their deaths to become a symbol.
4. Bakit pa rin inialay ni Rizal ang kanyang nobelang El Filibusterismo sa tatlong paring
sina GomBurZa sa kabila ng pagdududa sa kanilang pagiging “makabayan”? Ano-ano ang mga
mga argumento at dahilan ang binanggit ni Rizal sa dokumento? Isa-isahin at ipaliwanag.
- The excerpt from El Filibusterismo dedicates the book towards the GomBurZa. Rizal
notes that though he does not know whether their actions were truly patriotic, he does
acknowledge that their deaths led them to be called martyrs for their cause.
- From the text, it can be inferred that the readers and the people at the time gained a
sense of responsibility. With the death of the GomBurZa, they gained responsibility for
fighting back the Spanish colonies. Patriotism is another characteristic that can be
attributed. Similarly to the responsibility, the love of their nation led them to fight back
despite that likelihood of being harmed.
4.3-B
1. Sino ang sumulat at para kanino ang dokumento? Kailan at saan isinulat ang dokumento?
- The letter was written by Jose Rizal from Paris, France to his fellow Reformist
Mariano Ponce on April 18, 1899.
2. Ano ang tinutukoy ni Rizal sa kanyang liham na pangyayari noong 1872 na bumago sa
kanya at iba pang mga kapwa niya Repormista? Patunayan at ipaliwanag ang iyong sagot
- The event in 1872 refers to the Cavite mutiny where three priests were executed
under the accusation of treason. This showed the cruelty of the Spanish government as
the Cavite mutiny revealed the cruelty of the Spanish government.
- The death of the GomBurZa showed how cruel the Spanish were. This event pushed
Rizal to dedicate his studies on avenging the victims of oppression and the families of the
martyrs. In the letter this is clear from the lines “ kung walang 1872 si Rizal ay naging
isang paring Heswita sa ngayon at sa halip na magsulat ng Noli Me Tangere, ay marahil
nagsulat ng kasalungat na aklat.”
4. Ayon kay Rizal, ano kaya ang posibleng kanyang ginawa at kinahinatnan kung hindi
nangyari ang pagbitay sa GomBurZa noong 1872? Tukuyin ang bahagi ng dokumento at
magsagawa ng pansariling paghihinuha sa kahalagahan ng pagbitay sa GomBurZa noong 1872
sa pagsibol ng kamalayang pambansa ni Rizal at maraming mga Pilipino dahil sa pangyayaring
ito.
- In the letter, Rizal exclaims that if not for the events of 1872 revealing what has been
happening, he would be on his way to become a Jesuit priest and would have possibly
written a contradictory book to Noli Me Tangere.
5. Ano-anong mga paniniwala ni Rizal at mga kapwa niya Repormista ang binabanggit sa
mga dokumento? Tukuyin ang bahagi ng dokumento at ipaliwanag ang bawat isa.
- In the letter, Rizal and his fellow believe that the friars are not truly just as shown by
the cruelty. They also believe that the government is not doing a fine job of maintaining
the people and instead is bringing harm. Rizal compares the government akin to that of
Louis XIV and XV while the rebellion to the French Revolution.
- Rizal in his letter compares the events unfolding to that of the french revolution. He
believes that if the Spaniards, in extension the friars, continue to be unjust, similar events
to the french revolution would unfold, ultimately leading up to the people rising up.
- Similarly to the characteristics gained during the events of the Cavite mutiny, the
people have gained responsibility to rise up, and patriotism to fuel it. In the letter of
Rizal, it is shown that significant actions have been taken, such as the novel Noli Me
Tangere bringing the message of rebellion to the masses. A new characteristic has also
risen in the form of the need to avenge the people who have been harmed.
4.3-C
1. Sino ang sumulat at para kanino ang dokumento? Kailan at saan isinulat ang dokumento?
- The text was written by Jose Rizal for the La Solidaridad newspaper on September
30, 1889 to February 1, 1890.
- The text refers to how divided the people are due to the government forcing the
people to study their ideals abroad. Rizal is conveying the message of how the people in
the Philippines have become divided as the result of the Spanish rule and the need for the
people to become one.
- In the essay, the Filipinos mentioned can be taken literally, meaning the people under
the Spanish rule in the Philippines, but can also be taken as anyone who supports the
cause. The Filipinos mentioned in the essay are said to be fighting for the freedom and
liberation that many have suffered under the Spanish rule. They support the cause by
action, through joining the resistance, or simply spreading the word.
- The spirit of nationalism has been awakened from the shared experience through
friendship and hardships or from the text “nagising na ang diwang pagkamakabansa, at
iisang kasawian at iisang pagkaduhagi ang nakapagbuklod sa mga mamamayan sa
Kapuluan”. The citizens have been forced to be indoctrinated by the Spanish on what
they believe in rather than their own history. Rizal in the text entices his readers into
working together as they come to share home and issues.
5. Batay sa dokumento, ano-ano ang ginagawa ng mga nabanggit na Pilipino upang higit na
maisulong ang diwa ng pagkamakabansa? Tukuyin at ipaliwanag ang bahaging ito ng
dokumento.
4.3-D
1. Sino ang sumulat at para kanino ang dokumento? Kailan at saan isinulat ang dokumento?
- The poem was written by an unknown author in Guimba, Nueva Ecija during the
Philippine Revolution of 1896 in recognition of the GomBurZa.
- The poem talks about the death of key figures in the revolution namely the
GomBurZa and Rizal. Their deaths are represented as the joys of the Spaniards and
sadness of the filipinos. The poem is detailing the events from start to end and how the
people have struggled to win at the end.
- The key events in the poem are first the death of the GomBurZa which sparked the
beginning of the revolution as this showed the masses the cruelty of the Spanish rule. The
second event depicts the execution of Jose Rizal which marked the ending point of the
revolution.
- From the short poem, key points of the revolution have been highlighted. And in the
gaps between the lines depicting the event is the feeling of the general populace, how the
masses did not give up during the revolution.
- The past text depicted events that started the revolution, the events in between, and
the poem summarizing the revolution as a whole. From the poem a sense of hardship and
at the end joy can be seen. This shows the nationalism of the author and how he viewed
the revolution.

1. Sino ang sumulat at para kanino ang dokumento? Kailan at saan isinulat ang dokumento?
Isunulat itong mga dokumentong ito ng grupong La Solidaridad, ang dokument 4.4-A ay
isinulat noong Pebrero 15, 1899 sa ilalim ng pamamatnugot ni Graciano Lopez Jaena at ang
dokumento 4.4-B ay isinulat noong Disyembre 1889 sa ilalim ng pamamatnugot ni Marcelo H.
del Pilar. Ito ay isinulat sa lenguaheng Espanol at isinulat ng La Solidaridad sa Espania.
The message that the two documents show about Filipino nationalism is first of all, that it
exists in the Filipino people at the time. This also shows that there are people willing to fight for
their country and defend it’s right as a nation and that it should be represented fairly and
properly. Secondly, they also only ask for Spain to listen to the Philippines without having to
spend any material resources. By asking for representation in the court they are asking for some
measure of sovereignty form Spain and a representation of the interests of the Filipino people.
3. Ano ang La Solidaridad? Ano ang kaugnayan nito sa Kilusang Propaganda o Kilusang
Repormista? Bakit kaya nakilala ang mga kilusang ito bilang Kilusang Propaganda o Kilusang
Repormista? Ipaliwanag ang sagot batay sa paghihinuha sa mga impormasyon at nilalaman ng
dalawang dokumento.
La Solidaridad was a group of Ilustrados in Spain who share the same Filipino liberal
ideals and wanted to represent and fight for the rights of the country that they are from. They
would publish news papers with the same name that contained articles such as document 4.4-A
and 4.4-B. They would end up representing the reformist and propaganda movements since the
topic of the articles and their goals are for the awareness of Spain of the Philippines and to be
able to push reforms that they believe would better help their country. They fight for the
representation of the Filipino people and better leadership in their country as well as for their
rights to be equal to that of the Spanish people.
The Reformist movement were trying to fight for the rights of their motherland, the
Philippines, in that they should be given proper attention by the Spanish rulers and that they
should be assimilated to Spain. However, eventually that would shift, and they would then want
proper representation in the court of Spain and for the country’s democratic rights to be
protected.
The nationalist characteristics that I picked up from reading these two documents are the
intelligence, eloquence, and their desire for peace first and foremost. In this document, the
Ilustrados that compose of La Solidaridad push for the right of their motherland, the Philippines,
to be ruled properly and to be given democratic rights by their colonizers. These were the
characteristics that I picked up on since they chose to publish a well written article in their
publication that was written in the Spanish to push for the rights of the Philippines through trying
to open dialogue with Spain first.
