Synthesis:
Compare primary and secondary sources of historical records using the two articles.
Which do you think provides a more accurate and detailed information on the story?
State and justify your claim. Use an extra sheet of paper if needed.

I favour in Agoncillo's book since it gives the story a more detailed and definite details since it has a
damaged account, solid tendencies and philosophical leanings that even it has shortcomings and flaws
that can regardless divert individuals who really need to get a feeling of reality of what happened. I
actually consider the book of Agoncillo supportive on the grounds that regardless of the deficiency. He
introduced his book in helpful structure, effectively settled information which would some way or
another have stayed available in scattered sources unlike the book of Santiago Alvarez, on the grounds
that I misjudge that his story was about how the political decision went and what occurred on the
political race day in Tejeros which is a disadvantage to me in light of the fact that even he has the
experience or the capacity to see it. It's difficult for me to get a handle overall purpose of what he was
attempting to sum up on his story.

A heroic act is an extraordinary feat done during extraordinary times that inspired
others. What qualities should we develop as Filipinos in order to get rid of animosities
and rivalries descriptive of the bad side of politics .

The characteristics that we ought to improve as a Filipino so as to evade enmities and contentions
normal for the awful side of governmental issues is learning the idea of progress, since I wrongly concur

that change is an extremely emotional word considering the way that somebody may need a few
changes, however some may not.Some may begin to change themselves to seek after genuine change,
yet some may just need to seek after genuine change, yet they can't start to change themselves. On the
off chance that we truly need an expert and effective legislator, we need to change the philosophy that
we have had until nowadays that if a government official is a notable individual, he/she ought to be a
leader.We can incorporate or turn ourselves with a basic scholar in picking which legislators we will laud,
so we can have an expert and fair legislator, so we try not to have an irregular one.
