1 CONTENTS ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS

Overall Impression of the text

A. Author's purpose

- The purpose of the author on the text is to enlightened the Filipinos from the maltreatment of the
Filipinos from Spain. The author is also aimed to suggest some actions to have a justice and freedom for
Filipinos for them not to held by the Spaniards. He encouraged some Filipinos to be united in sentiment
in order to acquire the strength they neet to fight the Spaniards. It was paramount to the
revolutionaries that the Filipinos were made aware of what Spain has been doing to the archipelago to
ensure total support from the people. To sum up, Bonifacio wants to enlightened the Filipino freedom to
be careful from the maltreatment again by the Spaniards. Filipinos are prone of maltreats before, but
when the attribution of Andres Bonifacio came, entitled 'Ang dapat mabatid ng mga Tagalog' the
Filipinos have got an opportunity to have a freedom.

B. Readers

- For us to know what are the trouble happened in the Filipinos in the 21st century where are the
maltreatment of the Spaniards. Fostering Filipino nationalism and searching for knowledge,
understanding, critically thinking about the roots of our homeland's socio-economic-political
predicaments to educate ourselves, expose lies, hidden truths, and combat ignorance of our true
history. As a reader, we must be productive to gain more values in work, also for not wasting a time.
Social responsibility, patriotism and love for our nation language and humility.

C. Context

- The attempts of a determined few to honor Andres Bonifacio's memory in a way that suits his true
stature have been somewhat deterred by the supercilious conviction that Rizal can not be replaced as
the hero of the Filipinos in the upper classes.This belief has also acquired the essence of an official one,
a fact that can easily be seen in the almost complete indifference of the national government to the
determination of the City of Manila to give the celebration of the centenary of Bonifacio a more
significant sense. And yet, nothing could be more dangerous than fostering an artificial rivalry between
Rizal and Bonifacio. On the part of the so-called Filipino educated class, nothing could be more revealing
of the ignorance of social and revolutionary action than the insidious campaign it is waging that the man
from Calamba and the man from Tondo were poles apart in their goals and purposes.

2. Content Analysis

A. Thesis statement and main ideas

-In his essay "What the Filipinos Should Know," Bonifacio wrote in Tagalog "Ang dapat mabatid ng mga
Tagalog" in reason tells us that we cannot expect anything but more sufferings, more treachery, more
insults, and more slavery. Reason tells us not to fritter away time for the promised prosperity that will
never come. Reason to teaches us to rely on ourselves and not to depend on others for our living.
Reason tells us to be united that we may have the strength to combat the evils in our country. Bonifacio
also wrote about how the Filipinos were tortured by the Spaniards. They were bound, kicked, and hit
with gun butts. They were electrocuted and hung upside down like cattle. He said that Filipino prisoners
were "thrown into the sea shot, poisoned." These leads us as inequality by the same disposition in life.

B. Supporting details

- Bonifacio added visual cues as a reminder of how the Spaniards came and offered us friendship. It
seemed they would help us better ourselves and awaken our intellects, and our leaders were seduced
by the sweetness of their enticing words. However, were required to follow the custom of the Tagalogs,
and to bind their agreement by means of an oath, which consisted of taking blood from each other's
veins, and then mixing and drinking it as a token of their sincere and wholehearted pledge not to betray
the agreement. The benefits that the Spaniards doing?

3. Synthesis

A. What do you think is the reason why Bonifacio wrote the "Ang dapat mabatid ng mga Tagalog?"

- He wants to share with Filipinos that terrorists have never been an obstacle to make sense of living as a
Filipino. We have been conquered but it is not enough to give them the real and we should value it now.
One of the reason in this we cannot expect anything but more sufferings, more treachery, more insults,
and more slavery tells us not to fritter away time for the promised prosperity that will never come and
teaches us to rely on ourselves and not to depend on others for our livin. Andres Bonifacio is one of the
hero who suffered his life to us, he was given his lives for us to commit freedom we don't have. By the
clasp of Spaniards. That patriotism is not gor government but for governance, colonialism but colonizing
people.

B. What have you realized after reading the text?

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

- That the relegation, it is becoming increasingly clear, will not last forever. Already the rising generation
of Filipinos has begun to see more than the symbolism of Bonifacio Day and Rizal Day, and seeing, they
might learn that the choice of heroes is their exclusive prerogative. Not all of sudden works was favor
for freedom and yet deprecate agitation of men who want crops without plowing up to the ground. This
struggle may be a moral one or it may br a physical one or it may be both moral and physical but it must
be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand It never did, and never will. The efforts of
Bonifacio by the supercilious conviction which prevails in the upper classes that Rizal cannot be
replaced as the hero of the Filipinos. I also realized that we Filipino needs to wake up by the reality, we
need to learn for not to be maltreat again.

C. Write a response to Bonifacio in the form of a letter using your own pen name.

Dear Andres,

I am writing this letter for giving you a round of applause for giving us the opportunity to live and to
wake up for feeling the freedom we have right now. Today is a year 2021, sp much appreciate your
effort to make this article to us Filipino. Thank you for awaken up not to suffer all the time when the
other nation wants to conquer our country. Almost decades of year are past but the same treatment by
the Filipinos are same, changing and fulfilling.

Activity 4. 1.2

Instruction

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

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

dignitaries. Blood compact represent a ritual and agreement between two equals, constituting a pledge
of eternal fraternity and alliance.

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.

Activity 4.1.3 Metacognitive Report Reading

1. The three things that I significantly learned from the readings are....

▪️Not all the tim can trust everyone, sometimes whoever is trusted can still be a traitor.

▪️By tracing this history of communication between Spaniards and Tagalogs, Rafael maps the conditions
that made possible both the emergence of a colonial regime and resistance to it.

▪️That the Spanish are encountered difficulties in assimilating itself into the lot of Philippine language

2. The three things that uncleared to me are....

▪️Why does the Filipino encountered like this situation?

▪️How did translation affects the tagalog views?

▪️What are the consequences change to overcome Filipino freedom, if this agreement has not
happened?

3. I used to think that...

- I used to think that would you not like to learn as well this other characteristic which is their language?
.Would not a person who dressed like a Spaniard but did not have the other characteristic of the
Spaniard be like a corpse? So why should you bother to appear Spanish in your dress if you do not have
the characteristics of the Castilian: so that when you are spoken to in Castilian, you merely gape like
fools.

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

4. The three questions that I want to ask about the readings are.....

▪️Did other ideas about translation and the submission it entailed emerge among the Tagalogs? If so,
when and under what conditions?

▪️To what extent do Spanish missionary ideas about translation help us to understand the process of
evangelization and colonial subjugation?

▪️How indicative was Tomas Pinpin’s book of a mode of Tagalog response to the Spanish presence, at
least during the early period of colonial rule?

ACTIVITY 2 - TRACING RIZAL'S TRAVELS Instructions: Using a colored pen, trace Jose Rizal's journey on
his first trip to Europe.

the National Hero Jose Rizal left the

country in May 1882 to pursue further
studies abroad. He enrolled in a course in
medicine at the Universidad Central de
Madrid in Spain. In June 1883, he
traveled to France to observe how
medicine was being practiced there.

After his three-month sojourn in France, Rizal returned to Madrid and thought about publishing a book
that exposed the colonial relationship of Spain and the Philippines. This idea was realized in March 1887,
with the publication of the novel Noli Me Tangere in Germany.

Rizal was actively involved in the Propaganda movement, composed of Filipinos in Spain who sought to
direct the attention of Spaniards to the concerns of the Spanish colony in the Philippines. He wrote
articles for publications in Manila and abroad; convened with overseas Filipinos to discuss their duty to
the country; and called on Spanish authorities to institute reforms in the Philippines, such as granting
freedom of the press and Filipino representation in the Spanish Cortes.

Rizal returned to Manila in August 1887, after five years in Europe. However, his homecoming was met
by the friars’ furor over Noli Me Tangere. The Archbishop of Manila issued an order banning the
possession and reading of the novel, an order that was later reinforced by the governor-general. Six
months later, pressured by the Spanish authorities as well as by his family and friends to leave the
country and avoid further persecution, Rizal left Manila for Hong Kong.

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

From Hong Kong, Rizal traveled to Macau and Japan before going to America. Entering San Francisco,
California, in April 1888, he visited the states of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Illinois, and New
York. He jotted down his observations of the landscape in his diary.

Rizal arrived in England in May 1888. In August, he was admitted to the British Museum, where he
copied Antonio de Morga’s massive study of the Philippines, Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, which Rizal
later annotated for publication “as a gift to the Filipinos.” In the museum he devoted his time reading all
the sources on Philippine history that he could find. He kept up his correspondence with various people,
including his family, who were being oppressed by the Spanish religious landowners; the Filipino patriots
in Spain; and his Austrian friend, Ferdinand Blumentritt, with whom he planned to form an association
of Philippine scholars. From 1888 to 1890 he shuttled between London and Paris, where he wrote
ethnographic and history-related studies, as well as political articles. He also frequently visited Spain,
where he met with fellow Filipino intellectuals like Marcelo H. del Pilar, Mariano Ponce, and Graciano
Lopez-Jaena.

In March 1891, Rizal finished writing his second novel, El Filibusterismo, in France. He planned to publish
the book in Belgium, but was financially hard up. His brother’s support from back home was delayed in
coming, and he was scrimping on meals and expenses. Finally, in September 1890, El Filibusterismo was
published in Ghent using donations from Rizal’s friends.

Meanwhile, a rivalry had ensued between Rizal and del Pilar over the leadership of the Asociación
Hispano Filipino in Spain. Rizal decided to leave Europe to avoid the worsening rift between the
Rizalistas and Pilaristas, and to help maintain unity among Filipino expatriates. After staying for some
time in Hong Kong, where he practiced medicine and planned to build a “New Calamba” by relocating
landless Filipinos to Borneo, Rizal came home to the Philippines in June 1892.

ACTIVITY 3 - PRINCIPLE OF ASSIMILATION AND THE PROPAGANDA MOVEMENT

In a 300-word reflection, explain the principle of assimilation and asses Rizal's involvement in the
propaganda movement.

- What is Propaganda all about? It is a reform and national consciousness movement that arose among
young Filipino expatriates in the late 19th ccentury The Propaganda Movement was a period of time
when native Filipinos were calling for reforms, lasting approximately from 1880 to 1898 with the most
activity between 1880 and 1895. Although its adherents expressed loyalty to the Spanish colonial

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

government, Spanish authorities harshly repressed the movement and executed its most prominent
member. The Educational information was not public in the 19th century because the Spanish friars
made comparatively little effort to inculcate a knowledge of Castilian, less than one-fifth of those who
went to school could read and write Spanish, and far fewer could speak it. The Filipino populace was
thus kept apart from the colonial power that had been ruling it for more than three centuries. Rizal was
among the first to affirm the Filipino, he became a leader of the reformist movement called Propaganda,
the unwavering campaign for political and social freedoms, lobbying the peninsular government, using
their connections with the liberal Spanish politicians.

FINAL EXAMINATION

1. Why is nationalism a desirable goal?

Nationalism is a desirable goal only to government of the nation. Nationalism allows the government full
control over its people for telling them how to live. Nationalism is a feeling of oneness by a group of
people who believe that they possess common tradition, culture, common ideals, or goal. It become
desirable goal when people become aware that they are different from another group. In our country,
they become patriots and grow pride. Stimulating nationalism implies modern contact, getting people
closer to transportation. They started to understand their mutual challenge and desire. In solving this
problem by achieving the target, they felt the need for closer union. It is usually form by the right-wing
xenophobia which is quietly unnecessary and discriminate minor on our nation state.

2. Is there wisdom in the separation of the church and state?

The propagation of the church and the state was cause a conflict between the government and the
church. The church official complained to the King of Spain about the harsh treatment given to the
people by the civil officials. On the other hand the governor general complained to the King on the
interference of ecclesiastical official in the civil and internal affairs of the government. These
instructions the conflict continue for many years. The policy did not only bring conflict between a official
of church and those of the state. It also cause disconnect among Filipino. The friars wielded too much
power in the government which should not be so. They rather that the friars confine themselves to
purely religious affairs. The separation of the church and state was one of the reform asked of Spain.

3. Is there a solution to the problem of racial discriminations?

Manifestation of racial discrimination varies is in different contexts. This led to narcism. States Parties
undertake to prohibit and to eliminate racial discrimination in all its forms notably in the enjoyment of
political, civil, economic, social and cultural rights. State Parties shall also assure effective protection and
remedies against any acts of racial discrimination. The Filipino could not understand why Spaniards
introduced the Christianity with a beautiful ideal of brotherhood considered them interior in the color of
their skin. Rizal regretted this attitude toward his people. He urged Spain to disregard this considering
the appeal for representation Cortes. Both the preamble of the Charter of the United Nations and the
1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaim the right of everyone to enjoy all human rights
and fundamental freedoms, without distinction to race, colour or national origin.

4. Why were the Filipinos inspired to work for the recognition and respect of their human rights?

We assert that the rights of human beings and people are fundamental, inherent and inalienable rights
to life, dignity and growth. We agree that these rights are fundamental, interdependent and indivisible
and are necessary for our legal, political, economic, social, cultural, spiritual and environmental needs to
be met and satisfied. It's what makes us human. Filipinos are inspired to work for the recognition and
respect of their human rights because Riz voiced the respect and recognition of the rights of human
being as essential promoting harmony among people. His observations and experience prodded to the
Filipino to work recognition of these right.

5. Why is light the most wonderful thing to creation?

Light is the most wonderful thing in creation because without light, we will be misguided by darkness
and lose faith in God.Lights is worthy for a man to sacrifice life for it and a glimpse of a very little light is
the duty to teach countrymen. Lights serve better lessons in life lights for Rizal is an eye opener. It is the
way why Rizal's mind got opened when his Mother read him a story about the mooth in the flame, who
has guided him to be aware in the reality.

6. Why did Rizal pose a challenge to the Filipino students?

Rizal added that for five to ten years, the youth comes in contact with his book. Education is the best
way to awaken the youth and lead then toward right action was through education, because education
is the weapon curtsey for their development contra Spanish colonisation. During the same period,
majority of student have grasped nothing more than what the books say, not even what their professors
understand of it. In other words, Filipinos were not allowed to think. Students were subjected to the
daily preaching that lowers human dignity, gradually or brutally killing their self-respectthat eternal,

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

tenacious, persist effort to humble the native, to make him accept the yoke and to reduce him to the
level of an animal.

7. What is the meaning of intellectual leadership? How did Rizal shows his intellectual leadership?

Intellectual leadership is defined as individual capacity to create powerful ideas that spur scientific,
social, technological and institutional revolutions. Intellectual Leaders are serious, focused, and goal-
oriented. They think long-term about their life and enjoy developing big, complex systems. Just like
Rizal, Jose Rizal had a different type of leadership style. He was more of a thinker and told others how to
lead. He led by promoting ideas. His intellectual leadership is unique, no one can imitate it. His opinions
are always in his mind and bring out it through writing. Rizal was admired for being a good leader. He
gained respect of his colleagues in the Propaganda Movement by his tough.

8. Why do you think Rizal's leadership is unique?

Rizal’s leadership is unique. Rizal was writing to Bluemintritt about the project of North Borneo. He
wrote his old friemd that he would not be a planter but the leaders planter. Though Rizal is a kind of
person who are not more on talks and socialise, he still serve on his country by uaing a pen and write all
of his planter. Not by writing is his intention for the country, when sa revolution was evolve, he take a
risk for it. His life is the replacement. His opinions are always in his mind and bring out it through
writing. He led by promoting ideas.

9. Was Rizal right in advocating the policy of assimilation?

Rizal’s call for reform and assimilation attested to this unshakable belief. He died disowning the
revolution. But his death sounded the death knell to the colonial government of Spain in the Philippines.
His advocacy for reforms in the Philippines under the hands of Spanish colonial authorities led to his
early death at the age of 36.

10. In all the readings that you have done about the life of Jose Rizal, was he a reformist or a
revolutionist?

Rizal was not a mere reformist he was also revolutionary in the sense that when he saw that nothing
would come out of the advocacy for reform, he did turn to more revolutionary (radical) ideas. He has a
revolutionary ideas but he was not for armed revolution. He was more for the gradual and peaceful one.
For me, Rizal is a reformist as the same time revolutionist. Rizal as a reformist, he has against by the
manipulation of the government. Rizal choose to seek for reforms than to start a revolution because he
knew that Philippines was not yet ready to stand on its own (during his time). Rizal as a revolutionist, he

NUEVA JENNISSA A BSBA HRM 2-1

fought for our country using a pen. That no one can imitate his talent. By using this his vow is a massive
way for the change of our countey.

MODULE 3: RIZAL'S NATIONAL CONSIOUSNESS

ACTIVITY I - Behind the Surname

1. What is the full name of Jose Rizal?

- José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda

2. What is the name of Rizal's mother?

- Teodora Alonso Realonda y Quintos

3. What is the name of Rizal's father?

- Francisco Engracio Rizal Mercado y Alejandro

4. What could be the reason why Jose Rizal used Rizal as his surname while all
his siblings used Mercado? Explain your answer.

One of the most influential and considered to be one of the largest families in Calamba
Laguna is the Rizal family. The word Rizal is the surname given to them to conceal from
the Spanish by the mayor of Laguna. Because of his strong connection with Father

Burgos, Paciano was quite suspicious of the friars and the Spanish authorities. He
changed his brother's surname from Mercado to Rizal, as a protective brother, to
prevent the friars from recognizing their affiliation.

ACTIVITY 3 - The Value of Education

Education is important to one’s life we can be brought to the top of our dreams by a gift
of wisdom. It guides us to the right path and provides us with an ability to have a
wonderful life. Education makes individuals able to do fascinating new things that can
go a long way to improve the conditions and standards of human life. In shaping
successful people, education plays a major role. It gives us the opportunity to learn all
the necessary skills to become a productive member of a civilized society. We learn
how difficulties can be faced and obstacles overcome. We learn how to become an
integrated personality and hold our culture reinforced. Education lays the foundation
stone for our future.

People taking risk to have a good education to survive and some of us are honored to
have a decent life, but some of us don't. Just like Jose Rizal he is committed to
illuminating the importance of education in life and how this education is relevant in our
lives. Everyone knows that people with higher education are very likely to have a
career in the future. Education is therefore more important than ever in today's society.
Not only does it allow people to read or write, it also gives them the opportunity to have
a good life, to communicate better, to develop new technologies and to support the
economy.

1. The three things that significantly learned from the readings are:

1. I have learned that in all times when it comes in innovation, you need no invigilating or
dishonest. Because a wise person said, 'Honesty is the best policy'.

2. Don't underestimate someone for not learning other language and for being fool.

3. Be a wise person and don't make your Schoolmate's mentality crab.or don't degrade others
by their personality

2. The three things that still unclear to me

1. Why the friar is always like that to the Filipino teacher?

2. What happend at that interview we shal see presently?

3. Could the Teacher not have stood up to the friar when the latter insulted him?

3. I used to think that

- All of the Friar are same personality who aren't degrade others just for To say that they are
more mentally concerned with all aspects of teaching. More year come on but this argument
must changed that's why more of the Filipino teacher had a chance to teach other language to
build others assimilation.

4. The three questions that I want to ask about the readings are:

- Why do you even have to cut down your acacia tree when the children are just
learning there?

- Why is it necessary to criticize a teacher if he is just starting to learn another

language?

- Is there any other way to honor teachers who take the time to teach and learn their
students without insulting them?
