B. In not more than 5 sentences. Give three reasons why The Act of the Declaration Philippines
Independence is important to the grand narrative of Philippine history (5 points).

1. It is very much important because it reflects the hardships and resilience of our ancestors
on overcoming the revolutionary sentiments of that period. Such as friar abuse, racial
discrimination, and inequality.

2. Moreover, many of our soldiers and heroes who fought for our motherland offered their
talents and skills and put their lives at risk to just achieve its independence. Their heroic
stories should serve as lessons to learn as citizens of this country.
