EXERCISE 1.2.2 Resolving a Dispute

Instructions: With the different conceptualizations of nationalism in mind, research on a dispute that is currently happening between
countries (you can choose a dispute between the Philippines and other countries or between other countries, not including the
Philippines).

1. What the dispute is about

Answer: A dispute/disagreement is a continuing disagreement carried on between two or more parties. The parties may be
people, or they may be organizations or countries. Disputes can last a long time, and they can have serious results. Dispute
may happen from controversy. Disputes may become conflicts. Disputes between individual people may lead to violence.
Disputes between organisations may lead to legal action. Disputes between countries may lead to war.

2. What led to the dispute

Answer: The Spratly Islands dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute between China, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia,
Vietnam, and Brunei, concerning "ownership" of the Spratly Islands, a group of islands and associated "maritime features"
(reefs, banks, and cays etc.) located in the South China Sea. The dispute is characterized by diplomatic stalemate and the
employment of military pressure techniques (such as military occupation of disputed territory) in the advancement of national
territorial claims. All except Brunei occupy some of the maritime features.

3. What the government officials from the disputing countries are doing to address the problem.
Answer: The Philippines has claimed many territories throughout its history. These territories include the Spratly Islands,
Sabah, Scarborough Shoal, Palmias (Miangas), Orchid Island, the Sangir Islands, the Marianas Islands, and the Caroline
Islands.

4. How the concept and sense of nationalism is observed in the different measures to address the dispute
Answer: Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference (self-determination), that a
nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power.

EXERCISE 1.3.3 The World during Rizal's Time

Instructions: With a partner, identify at least five events that took place in the mid-19th century outside the Philippines that might
have influenced the young Jose Rizal in charting the course of his ideals, missions, and aspirations for the Philippines. Describe
these events through illustrations.

1. Opening of Suez Canal

Suez Canal, according to Fisher (n.d.) is a "sea-level waterway running north-

south across the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt to connect the Mediterranean and the
Red seas." With Suez Canal's opening, the travel from Europe to Philippines and
vice versa became easier and shorter thus. brought the country closer to Spain.
Also, with the opening of this canal, Jose Rizal was encouraged to pursue his
education in Spain. His decision eventually affected his course of ideals, mission,
and aspirations for the Philippines as studying abroad opened his mind to the
real situation of the Philippines that time (Aberdi, 2011).

2. Development of Liberalism

Liberalism, according to Merriam-Webster, is "the quality or state of being

liberal." The development of this worldview led to the publication of writings
about this and through the Suez Canal, these writings were able to be read by
the illustrados like Jose Rizal. In turn, liberalism affected his beliefs on politics
and nationhood (Apostol, 2018)

3. Galleon Trade

Galleon Trade, according to our lesson, was a ship trade going back and forth
between Manila and Acapulco, Mexico." According to Philippine History (n.d.),
Galleon Trade "allowed modern, liberal ideas to enter the country, eventually
inspiring the movement for independence from Spain." And as what we have
already discussed. Jose Rizal is one of those people who was largely influenced
by liberal ideas.
 4. Spain's Constitutional Conflicts

According to Aseniero (n.d.), the most appropriate context through which Rizal's
conceptualization of the movement for national emancipation was based is
Spain's constitutional history. He said that his ideals were based on Spanish
sources.

1. The Bourbon Reforms

According to the lesson Bourbon Reforms gave Filipinos like Rizal the idea that
"colonization could be done without much intervention from the Catholic Church.

EXERCISE 1.1.2 Republic Act 1425

Instruction: Brainstorm on the following question:

a. Considering the context of the 1950s, what issues and interests were at stake in the debate over the Rizal Bill? Do these
issues remain pertinent in the present?
Answer: Most of the issues at stake in the debate were related to religion and the Catholic Church. Those who were against
it felt that Rizal's writings undermined the Catholic Church. One of these people was Mariano J. Cuenco. In Cuenco's
speech, he stated that Rizal attacked dogmas, beliefs, and practices of the Church. Although people have now grown
accustomed with this, these issues are still relevant to this day. With the country being predominantly Catholic and having
religion highly regarded, seeing Catholic beliefs and traditions as seemingly negative is not taken lightly. Just because it is
not talked about, it doesn't mean it's not there.

b. In view of the issues at stake in the passage of RA 1425, is teaching Rizal's life as hagiography consistent with the law?
Answer: It being a hagiography isn't that consistent with the law. The Rizal Law is basically for future Filipinos to never forget
him, spark the flame of patriotism within them, and more stated in the law. However, think we fail to realize that Rizal is a
person as well who did have faults knowing that nobody is perfect. In different perspectives, he and his works may be ideal
but in others it would be questionable. He is known to be our National Hero but despite having the law active for years, not a
lot of Filipinos really know who he is beside that. This could either be because of the lack of idealization of students or the
ineffectivity of its application.
