Rizal Search For

Origin
Objectives:

At the end of the lesson the students will be able to

a. To determine how Rizal rewrite the Philippine History.
b. To understand the significance of Pacto de Sangre to
the Filipino Nationalism and to the success of Spanish
Colonization.
c. To explain how the Spanish Government conquered
our Filipino Ancestors.
 In this lesson, we will learn about Dr. Jose P.
Rizal’s search for origin and its relationship to
Philippines and Spain. The significance of the
Pacto de sangre or blood compact of our ancestors
with the Spaniards and how the Spanish
Government succeeded in colonizing the Filipino
title.
De Morga’s Book

Rizal studied and copied the de Morga’s book

verbatin ( Succesos de Las Islas Filipinas).
He annotated extensive passages of the book to
correct de Morga’s misconception about Philippines
and Filipinos.
Pacto de Sangre
Pacto de Sangre was an ancient ritual in the
Philippines intended to seal a friendship or
treaty, or to validate an agreement.
The contracting parties would cut their wrists
and pour their blood into a cup filled with
liquid such as wine and drink mixture.
The Pacto de Sangre was depicted as giving
Spanish colonialism a distinctive character, which
the French would later call mission civilasatrice.
 It was Spain’s “honorable obligation” to
assimilate Filipinos. In other words, to civilize
and uplift the natives Spain had colonized.
Spaniards as Conqueror

The Spaniards conquered the Philippines for

333 years.
Because of being lost in unity.
Spanish missionaries tried to eliminate the
ancient written literature of the Filipinos.
Their biggest achievement was the spread of
Roman Catholicism.
As a conclusion,
• The revising of de Morga’s book makes people
know the truth about the Philippine history.
• Talking about Pacto de Sangre, there are
contradicting ideas between the ritual itself and the
way of Spaniard colonization.
• The happenings during the Spaniard
colonization has a big impact not just in
Philippine history but also for people in
modern world.
