are really doing or intention in our country. Rizal life and work become medium of many
Filipino to have courage to fight for what is right. With the use of his works and writings
especially his novels Noli Me tangere and El Filibusterismo, he reveals to the people their
experience and sufferings. That which he brought to light to awaken his countrymen to the
truths that had long remain unspoken.

2. Choosing ONLY one (1) out of the four (4) periods below to define popular
nationalism, how will you demonstrate it …
a. During the Spanish Occupation?
b. During the American Regime?
c. During the Japanese Period?
d. Today?
Today, Popular Nationalism is was show through Filipinos good attitude have. And each
Filipino being simplified by the action, our words and manner that doesn’t need to have
approval or show to the government to demonstrate our love for our country.

3. In no more than five (5) sentences, justify whether the pre-colonial Philippines was a
nation or otherwise.
The pre-colonial Philippines was a nation or otherwise, I can say during that time which
indigenous peoples engaged in healthy trade with various cultures and economies in the
 region. This gave way to a long colonial period that was before Spanish, American, Japanese

Spanish finally arrived, they were shocked to find out that the Filipinos possessed a literacy
