Apolinario Mabini
To the people who are fellow
countrymen who fight for their love
ones.
-On 24 June 1898, Apolinario
Mabini printed a pamphlet that
contained the documents The True
Decalogue and The Constitutional
Program of the Philippine Republic
-Mabini would expound the liberal,
moral and patriotically-oriented code
for Filipinos to take in their desire to
be free (Majul, 1960, 135.)  
Apolinario Mabini wrote this because
he knows to one’s conscience and the
belief in the Supreme Being, would
lead to the refinement of one’s
character, development of one’s
creative skills and capabilities, and the
achievement by humanity of the
values of goodness, justice and honor
necessary in glorifying God. 
As what I know is because that time
maybe racism is well known.
To spread those messages and
expresses what he wants to see and
happened if what he wrote will really
happen
Yes, because the message is very
unique despite what was happening in
that time
Yes, it is. The person who wrote was
well known and a exemplary person.
What it means to me is its very
touching and the message from it digs
deep into my heart.
