MODULE 6 FORUM 1

Give three reasons why the Acta de Proclamacion de la Independencia del Pueblo Filipino is
Important to the grand narrative of Philippine history.

1. Bolstered the nationalist sentiment of the Filipinos The Acla de la

Proclamancion de la Independencia del Pueblo Filipino bolstered the
nationalist sentiments amongst the Filipinos which prior to which identified
to their respective ethnic groups. The proclamation of independence
inspired the filipinos to fight against the Spanish and shortly after the
yanqui imperialists.
2. A step towards nationhood. No longer does the filipino identify with his
own ethnic group but he now identifies as a filipino this is a critical step
toward nation building. With the proclamation of independence comes
the establishment of the apparatuses o the state, such as the three
branches of the government a critical criterion when judging a country as a
cohesive nation.
3. Serves as an inspiration for future political upheavals in the Philippines.
The Philippines decalaration of independence serves as an inspiration for
the filipino politicians in the Philippine commomwealth to strive for
independence for the americans this will also serve as an inspiration from
insurgent forces such as the NP who draws inspiration from the revokution
and misguidely fight for their beliefs through armed struggle. Whatever the
case may be the Philippine declaration of independence of our ancestors
led to our current place in history and the history that yet to be written.
