The opening of the Suez Canal
and the consequent shortening
of the route of the Philippines
and Europe enabled many
Europeans of liberal
orientation to come to the
Philippines and come into
contact with some Filipinos
educated in Europe.
 From the ranks of the middle
class sprang brave young men,
educated in Manila and
Europe, determined to alter
the status quo. .

 The Spaniards regarded the
Filipinos as belonging to the
inferior races.
Filipinos were described as a
“machine that walks, talks,
eats, sleeps, and exists;” and
“an incomplete whole,
confusion of sentiments,
instincts, desires, energies,
passions, colors that crowd
each other without forming a
single particular one”.
 The intensification of the
secularization question and its
transformation into a
Filipinization controversy
involving Spanish regular and
secular priests, on one hand,
and the Filipino secular
priests, on the other,
contributed to the
development of nationalism.

Man is not worth more because he is a king,
because his nose is aquiline, and his color
white, not because he is a *priest, a servant
of God, nor because of the high prerogative
that he enjoys upon earth, but he is worth
most who is a man of proven and real
value, who does good, keeps his words, is
worthy and honest; he who does not
oppress nor consent to being oppressed, he
who loves and cherishes his fatherland,
though he be born in the wilderness and
know no tongue but his own.
When these rules of conduct shall be
known to all, the longed-for sun of
Liberty shall rise brilliant over this most
unhappy portion of the globe and its rays
shall diffuse everlasting joy among the
confederated brethren of the same rays,
the lives of those who have gone before,
the fatigues and the well-paid sufferings
will remain. If he who desires to enter

all this and believes he will be able to
perform what will be his duties, he may
fill out the application for admission.

Equality “is repeated in various ways in all of

The struggle for equality would
correct or ituwid the wrongdoings
done to the Filipinos.
Katarungan and Katuwiran are closely
associated.
Katuwiran is the key idea in the writings of
Jacinto and Bonifacio.
The fight for injustice is at the heart of all anti-
colonial uprisings.
Ang Dapat Mabatid ng mga Tagalog (Andres Bonifacio)
emphasizes that before the arrival of the Spaniards, the
Filipinos had a flourishing civilization,
prosperous, just, and free
To end oppression and regain the dignity of
the Filipinos, the answer is independence or
self-determination.
Jacinto defines liberty in his essay “Kalayaan” (Liberty), as
the “inherent reason that a person possesses to think and
do whatever he pleases for as long as it does not conflict
with the inherent reasons of others.”
The independent, sovereign, prosperous, and
egalitarian Filipinas that the Katipunan envisioned
continue to be relevant today in the struggle for
democracy.
In the 1986 Philippine
Constitution, the function of the
State is clearly stated in Sec.4 Art.2
" to serve and protect the people."
Section 4 clarifies further the
duties of a Philippine government
is the "Maintenance of peace and
order, the protection of life, liberty,
and property and the
promotion of the general welfare."

For democracy to survive we
need to be vigilant on the
creeping authoritarianism.
We must promote equality
and human rights. The Bill
of Rights of the Philippine
Constitution must be
defended, promoted. and
realized.
To advance democracy in
the Philippines today
there is an urgent need
to empower people.
This can be done
through grassroots
participation in planning
and decision-making.

Lastly, Philippine democracy
can only truly flourish when
the country asserts its
independence and
sovereignty by not relaying
on foreign countries with
imperial interest, like the
US & China.
In addition, our system
of accountability for
government officials
must be strengthen.
Accountability of public
officials means that the
power to govern is not
absolute but rather
entrusted.
