Reflection of Lesson 7: Response to Colonization: Resistance Against

the Spaniards

When the Spaniards took control of the archilego,Institution were imposed to further
their political and economic gains.These institutions resulted to the suffering,poverty
and death of the natives.The impact of these Spanish institution resulted to frustration
and bitterness.the hoped of friendship between the Spaniards and our barangays turned
out to be a system of Dark future had under the spain and began fight the natives
understood the need of Spaniard policy.In fact when the Legaspi arrived in Manila In
1571,he was the brave nameless warrior from Macabebe,Pampanga who went to Tondo
with his men to fight the Spaniards Colonizers.Despite the overwhelming weaponry and
armiryof the Spaniards,he never cowered fear.He said “May the sun split my body in
twain,and may I fall in disgrace before my women for them to hate me,If I ever became
for a moement friend to the Castillians.”Despite his death he became a symbol for
resistance.Even the Spaniards admired him because the nameless warriorfor his
bravery.There were five categories of resistance against the spanisah colonization
these are led by former datus,religious in nature,reaction tonspanish imposed institution
and the indigenous peoples responses.During the pre-colonial period two influential
datus of manila,is lakandula and Soliman,revolted in 1574.before the death of
legazpi ,these datus and their families were given privileges in return for their loyalty to
spain.Their families received compensation,retained their families names,kept their
lands, and exempted from buwis polo y servicio.However,when the legazpi died,his
successor Governor-General Guido de lavezaris ordered to have the lands of
Lakandula and Soliman Confiscated.Another revolt led by datus was the “Tondo
Conspiracy of 1587” This was led by datus of manila who were related to blood.The
leaders were serious in this attempt to overthrow the Spaniards as they even solicited
the assistance of their relative in Borneo a Japanese captain named Juan Gayo who
would provide weapons in exchange for payment.the main conspirator were executed
and some were banished to faraway lands. Some revolts stemmed from land problems
and this was largely the cause of the insurrections that transpired in the agricultural
provinces of Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, and Laguna. Natives also rebelled over unjust
taxation and forced labor.
Religion was another dominant theme of the revolts organized against the
Spaniards.Some of the religious resistances were led by former religious leaders of the
barangays,the babaylans.Due tp the imposition of Christianity.The babaylan’s influence
dwindled in society. One of the most notable babaylans who fought was Tamblot from
bohol.He convinced the people to abandon Christianity using magic and
religion.Bankaw is one of datu fight the Spaniards using religion Bankaw and some
babaylans attracted the people to abandon Christianity and fight the Spaniards using
magic and faith to diwatas.His uprising also failed.Another two notable revolts also fall
into this category.The first one is the silang couple’s rebellion in ilocos region.Diego
Silang suggested to the Spanish authorities that buwis should be abolished and as a
result he was imprisoned.the dagohoy rebellion in Bohol which spanned from 1744 to
1829.the rebellion ended a failure.Despite the numerous attempts to unseat the colonial
power,an overwhelming number revolts against Spaniards failed.due to lack of national
unity this meant that Filipino fought against filipinos themselves during that time.
The Filipinos responded to colonization and resistance against the Spaniards with
different strategies based on their resources at hand. Some chose a peaceful strategy
while others decided to fight back violently. It was also determined whether some were
more inclined towards fighting than farming or fishing. Overall, the Filipino's attitude
toward resisting Spain can be described as being optimistic since many believed that
the Spanish would eventually leave the country once the population became educated
enough so that they could take care of themselves without needing the assistance from
outside forces.Spanish conquest eventually wrought fundamental changes in the lives
of the native population. The Spaniards introduced new customs and a new religion.
They brought over new practices and institutions from their earlier colonial experiences
in Latin America. Colonization helped the countries become unified under one language
and religion. However, Spanish colonization had a negative impact by creating more
poverty and discrimination toward the native people.

Lesson 8: The Rise of Filipino Nationalism: Formation of the Filipino

Identity

The lack of national unity primarily caused the absence of a coordinated effort to fight
against the Spaniards.Duriing the pre colonial period until until the start 19 th
century,there was no “Filipino”Identity.since indios is the term they used to refer to all
colonized populations.in the Philippines back then identified themselves as “indios”. The
increase in trading activities led to an overall increase in economic activities in the
country,which facilitated interaction and communication among separated people from
various islands.there was already the possibility of people breaking free from the
ignorance Spanish authorities perpetuated to control the population.in fact most of the
families who belonged to this new social group sent their sons to Europe to study.These
students became exposed to ideas in Europe which made them realize the various
social issues that needed to be addressed in the Philippines.they formed the
propaganda movementto promoting a new national identity for the people.This
Development made closer to the rest of the world as people and ideas could now travel
faster.One of the ideas the entered the country was European liberalism,which calls for
equality,freedoms,and justice.Liberalism is a philosophy which emphasized on the
importance of individuals rights and freedom.this opened of the eyes of the people fight
to the Spaniards abuses the power.One of the most signifant events that helped the
formation of the filipino identity was the execution of the three martyr priest,Mariano
Gomez,Jose Burgos,and Jacinto Zamora.During the Spanish period,there were two
kinds of priest in the Church hierarchy-the regulars and seculars.All of these factors
joined together to foster unity among the people.This led them to create a new
identity.Rather than calling themselves as mestizos,principalias,or indios,they started to
see the common things that unite them.This led to the formation of the
“Filipino”Identity.Aside from identifying the roots and strengths of the Filipino character. This is
important because this enables the Filipino to identify the areas that need improvement to grow
and develop as a person. An informed and improved Filipino will also result in a stronger and
more progressive nation. Because Filipino nationalism is long distance, it places a greater
emphasis on the country's physical borders and its people's imaginings of the Philippines. When
these borders are contested, it provokes a strong sense of national protection from both citizens
and government officials.

Lesson 9: The Rise of Filipino Nationalism: The Propaganda Movement

Propaganda Movement, reform and national consciousness movement that arose

among young Filipino expatriates in the late 19th century. Although its adherents
expressed loyalty to the Spanish colonial government, Spanish authorities harshly
repressed the movement and executed its most prominent member, José Rizal. The
main goals of the Propaganda Movement was to create reforms in the Philippines.
Students, who created the movement, wanted the Philippines to be acknowledged as a
province of Spain and to be represented in the Spanish Cortes.The Propaganda
Movement (1872-1892) was the first Filipino nationalist movement, led by a Filipino elite
and inspired by the protonationalist activism of figures such as José Burgos and by his
execution at the hands of colonial authorities. Propagandists were largely young men,
often mestizos and creoles whose families could afford to send them to study in
Spanish universities in Madrid and Barcelona. There, they encountered the tumult of
19th century political movements inspired by Enlightenment thought, individual rights,
constitutionalism, and anti-clericalism.It was an assimilationist movement in that the
propagandists—many of whom were of half Spanish parentage and saw themselves as
inheritors of Spanish civilization—believed that the Philippines should be fully
incorporated into Spain as a Spanish province and not merely as a colony, with Filipinos
granted the same citizenship rights accorded to Spanish citizens. Second, it sought the
expulsion of the Spanish friars from the Philippines and the empowerment of a native
Filipino clergy. Lastly, as a cultural movement, it showcased the writing and artistic
production of the young Filipino elite as a means of demonstrating their intellectual
sophistication, on par with their Spanish peers.The Propaganda Movement targeted the
Spanish government and public, but as an elite movement failed to engage with the
wider Filipino population. The Spanish government was little interested in the conditions
of the Philippines, particularly with the immense political foment in the Spanish political
environment, and the movement ultimately received scant support and made little
headway in Spain. The propagandists themselves were considered to be rebels at
home in the Philippines, and many were exiled. Despite its overall failure, the movement
generated a political consciousness that fed into the nationalist revolution of 1896 and
the struggle for independence that followed.

LESSON 11: Confronting Clonialism: Katipunan and the Philippine

Revolution of 1896

One of the most significant events

in Philippine history is the 1896
Philippine
Revolution, inspiring generations
of Filipinos to embrace a proud
sense of nationalism.
During a time of great hardship
and war, Filipinos from all walks
of life came together for a
common cause. Colonialism
should be resisted.
From the beginning of our history,
Filipinos have wanted to oppose
colonization. To
be able to stand on our own
territory, to fight for our identity
and independence to the point
that even our ancestors would
devote their young life for it. As
Filipinos, we are naturally
secretive, to the point that the anti-
colonial secret organization known
as katipunan was
created to oppose Spanish
domination in our country.
Katipunan was founded by Andres
Bonifacio, a liberationist who
leads an open de facto government
that is built around laws
and elected leadership with the
purpose of achieving
independence.Is it also normal that
today's teens covertly arrange their
outdoor parties to enjoy their
young life while their
parents are the ones who always
dictate what they should do? If I
were them, I would
likewise want the ability to make
my own decisions. Because this is
my body, I shall manage
myself in accordance with my
desires. When one person has too
much influence over
another, the self might turn
rebellious. No one wants to be
enslaved by foreigners, just as no
one wants to be enslaved by
foreigners in the Philippines. This
is our territory. This should be
in our hands, not in the hands of
others. We are supposed to be able
to stand and live
without being dominated by
foreigners. As one could assume,
they revolted and covertly
formed the katipunan in order to
gain independence. Despite the
negative effects of
colonialism on our past, the
cultures we got as a result of
colonization have had a significant
impact on our culture today, and
how we develop ourselves has
been influenced by this in
some way. He couldn't be self-
sufficient from the beginning of
his life because he was still a
child. For better or worse, he still
need guidance. I've discovered that
one of the katipunan's
main goals is the political
secession of the Philippines from
Spain, which I believe is still vital.
333 years was more than enough
time for us to gain control of our
own country. We couldn't
possibly exist in a state of misery,
exploitation, servitude, and
suffering much longer. What
would we be like now if our heroes
hadn't gotten desperate to free
themselves from the
oppressive Spanish colonial
system? Since we have been
woken mined and enjoying our
independence, it has become a
timeless endeavor for me. Many
things remind me of the
katipunan, who, despite immense
difficulties, came together for the
welfare of our country.
And it is still them who inspire
future generations to continue and
potentially complete what
they started: the creation of a
nation in which every Filipino is
really free.
If I were asked if I am for reform
for revolution is necessary when
especially the
people of the country are suffering
from slavery and laborers are paid
with a small amount of
salary by the other people, I would
say yes because revolution has
impacted a good result
until now, which awakens the
people of their sense of
nationalism. If I were asked if I am

One of the most significant events
in Philippine history is the 1896
Philippine
Philippine Revolution, (1896–98), Filipino independence struggle that, after more than
300 years of Spanish colonial rule, exposed the weakness of Spanish administration but
failed to evict Spaniards from the islands. The Spanish-American War brought Spain’s
rule in the Philippines to a close in 1898 but precipitated the Philippine-American War, a
bloody war between Filipino revolutionaries and the U.S. Army.The Philippine
Revolution awakened a proud sense of nationalism among the Filipinos. The revolution
aimed to resist colonialism and this aim brought together people from different
backgrounds. The revolution started in 1896 and was majorly against Spanish
authorities. The revolution ended when Spain conceded the Philippines to the United
States.The beginning of the revolution is attributed to a secret organization, called the
Katipunan. Andres Bonifacio was the head of the organization and the head as well as
his followers were influenced by the literary works that exposed the cruelties of Spanish
colonizers. The organization was able to attract people from the lower as well as middle
classes to revolt against Spain. The organization continued to carry out its activities in a
secret manner, but the Spanish authorities were able to find them in August 1896. This
is what started the revolution After the discovery of the Katipunan, the Spanish
authorities conducted several searches to identify and arrest the members of the
organization. At this time, Bonifacio and his followers were planning a nationwide revolt
and this led to the “Cry of Pugad Lawin” wherein several revolutionaries took part. In
this movement, the tax certificates were torn apart by the revolutionaries to symbolize
their fight against Spain.The head of the Katipunan also planned an attack on Milan, but
he and his followers were defeated because of the large number of Spanish authorities
as well as the arms they possessed. However, Bonifacio continued with his revolt and
the revolt also flared up in neighboring provinces.One of the major problems of the
revolution was that the members of the Katipunan also fought amongst themselves. The
organization got divided into two councils; Magdiwang and Magdalo and this gave rise
to leadership disputes. To settle the leadership disputes, the Tejeros Convention was
established. In the makeshift election, Bonifacio lost to Aguinaldo.In Naic, Cavite,
Bonifacio established a rival government and planned a coup. He was arrested and
later executed. Aguinaldo proposed an end to revolution by surrendering the weapons
to revolutionaries, an exile for leaders, and payment to the revolutionaries. While the
movement came to an end, the Philippines was still not independent.The year 1898
marked the second phase of the Philippine Revolution. The Americans declared war
against Spain after a U.S. Navy warship exploded and sunk in Havana harbor. U.S.
Navy was able to defeat Spain in Manila and the United States gained control of the
capital of the Philippines.

Aguinaldo became friendly with the Americans and on June 12, 1898, the Philippines
was declared independent. In December of the same year, Spain conceded the
Philippines to the Americans and the Philippines again had not exactly become
independent.The Philippine Revolution was started to gain independence for the
Philippines.The Spanish authorities controlled the Philippines and their defeat by the
United States led to the concession of the Philippines to the United States, thereby not
making the Philippines independent.The revolution started when a secret organization
of revolutionaries, called Katipunan was discovered by the Spanish authorities.The
revolution was weak majorly because the leaders of the organization did not think on
the same lines and there were disputes associated with the leadership of the
organizationThe Philippine Revolution is one of the most important events in the
country's history, awakening a proud sense of nationalism for generations of Filipinos to
come. In a period of heavy struggle and conflict, Filipinos of different backgrounds
united with a common goal: to resist colonialism.
