Answer the following question:

1. Differentiate the Aims of La Liga Filipina to the Katipunan Movement?

KKK had different objective than the La Liga Filipina because it did not
aim for reform but independence from Spanish rule through revolution. The
La Liga Filipina objectives do not necessarily promote the Katipunan. But La
Liga, of course, is historically related to both KKK and Propaganda Movement.

2. Why is it Jose Rizal wanted our country as to become one of the

provinces of Spain? Do you in favor on this or not in favor? Elaborate
and Justify your answer.
Rizal believed that the only way to escape this was to ‘fix the system’.
This involved introducing liberal reforms, ending clerical abuses, making
indios (native Filipinos) equal to Spaniards in the eyes of the law, and
focusing on educating the masses. If and when these aims could be met
perhaps Filipinos could rightly earn their independence. The alternative was
war, bloodshed, an unstable democracy, and the tyranny of the masses. I
cannot say I agree; however, I think I can empathize with Rizal. Not only was
he apprehensive of violent revolution, but of what could happen after it - a
former colony splintered in multiple factions divided by ethnicity, class, and
conflicting loyalties. His fears were not unfounded. In Latin America, colonies
that won their freedom from Spain quickly descended into political in-
fighting, brutal dictatorships, and open civil war.
