Main The main argument in this topic Daniel Tirona disregarded the
argument: is all about the election that reminder of Supremo Andres
happened in Tejeros convention Bonifacio that whoever should
 that was not honoured by the
Supremo Andres Bonifacio
because of some conflict. The
next day they revalidated the
proceedings of the election
meeting but only the Magdiwang
leaders attended. At the same
oath
night the magdalo leaders held
their own meeting at the Paris
house in Tariza. Magdalos
disregard Supremo Andres
Bonifacios decisions and they
took the Oath taking Ceremony
even without the knowledge of
Supremo Andres Bonifacio.
Bias: The book is all about the
Memoirs of a General Santiago
Alvares, which is portion of
Magdiwang, so fundamentally
definitely
all of the information or data he
wrote about this topic is base
only his view about the things
that happen within the Tejeros
convention and other occasion,
there are a few factor which will
in
influence his bias almost the
information that he will give
since he’s part of Magdiwangs.
Advantages: The advantage of the primary
source is that you can assure
that the information it has is
liable and valid because it is
from the person who witnessed
get elected to any position
should be respected. Supremo
Andres Bonifacio declaire the
assembly dissolved and he
annulled all that had been
approved and resolved by the
council. Aguinaldo took their
without Supremo Andres
Bonfacio.
Teodoro Andal Agoncillo was a
noticeable 20th- century Filipino
historian, his view about the
tejeros convention will
base on other sources that he
has so there will be a few
circumstances that the
information or data he has is not
dependable and valid. Some
information just like the dates
his book does not match the data
given by General Santiago
Alvares.
The advantage of a secondary
source is that the author may
provide more data that the
primary source can’t have. He
has more views about the topic
 or experienced the said event.
Also Readers can understand
every viewpoint or aspect of
what's going on as if they were
the
there when it happened.
difficult
Disadvantages: The disadvantage of the primary
source is that it lacks from the
is
viewpoint of other views similar
to how General Alvares clarified
his thoughts about the tejeros
to
conventions were his focus is all
about the things that just
happen in the event and
perhaps he has bias on how he
describe all the happening since
his part of Magdiwang.
since he will just not focus on
one side of the information but
rather seek for more data.
Additionally the words use in
secondary source is more
reasonable or understandable
because he can interpret
words that he got from his other
sources
The disadvantage of the
secondary source is that there
some data that's not matched to
the primary source since the
information that he will reach
provide is already analyzed and
deciphered.
