Narrative Report:
Today, we were given a task to read and understand the literary piece that we submitted. The literary piece that we submitted is “The True Decalogue”
by Apolinario Mabini. The Ten Commandments of Moses would be represented by the True Decalogue, which would be more thoroughly stated in the
late nineteenth-century Philippine historical setting. It would incorporate political and moral ideas that were frequently offered side by side as the "True"
Decalogue. In Mabini's Decalogue, the lines between political and moral philosophy were blurred because Mabini recognized in its formulations the
fulfillment of moral uprightness and political independence that Filipinos should develop if they were to accomplish what he called the "objectives of
human life." but who is Apolinario Mabini?

Apolinario Mabini was the first prime minister of the Philippines and he was called the “Brain of the Philippine Revolution”. Mabini gave the Reform
Movement his support when he was still a student. Instead of asking for complete Philippine independence, this conservative faction of middle- and
upper-class Filipinos sought modifications to Spanish colonial rule. José Rizal, a physician, author, and intellectual, participated in this movement as
well. Mabini was called to the bar in 1895 and began practicing law at Manila's Adriano law offices while also serving as the organization's secretary.
However, Apolinario Mabini had polio in the beginning of 1896, paralyzing his legs. Surprisingly, it was this disability that saved his life at that time. In
October 1896, Mabini was detained by the colonial police because of his involvement in the reform movement. On December 30 of that year, when José
Rizal was still under house arrest at the San Juan de Dios Hospital, Mabini's polio is thought to have saved him from José Rizal's execution by summary
execution. When he refused to pledge devotion to the Americans, they quickly re-arrested him and put him into exile in Guam. "La Revolucion Filipina,"
a memoir by Apolinario Mabini, was written during his protracted exile. Mabini, who was exhausted and ill, ultimately consented to swear the oath of
loyalty to the United States out of concern that he would perish in exile. Mabini, like other Filipino revolutionaries José Rizal and Andres Bonifacio,
died before turning 40. Nevertheless, despite having a brief career, he significantly influenced the Philippines' destiny and the revolutionary
administration.

I understand that Mabini can still write a literary piece even though he was a person who has disabilities for the Filipinos who were ruled by the Spaniards.
He wrote, "El Verdadero Decalogo" (The True Decalogue), a lengthy essay on the ideas he thought the Philippine Revolution ought to have upheld, in
May 1898. Along with Mabini's draft constitution, Aguinaldo approved its ongoing publishing.
