document.The historian’s primary tool of understanding and interpreting the
past is the historical sources. Historical sources ascertain historical facts.
Such facts are then analyzed and interpreted by the historian to weave
historical narrative.
Using primary sources in historical research entails two kinds of
criticism. The first one is EXTERNAL CRITICISM and the second is
INTERNAL CRITICISM. EXTERNAL CRITICISM examines the authenticity of
the document or the evidence being used while INTERNAL CRITICISM
examines the truthfulness of the content of the evidence.Who is Antonio Pigafetta?
= Famous Italian traveller born in Vicenza around 1490 and died
in the same city in 1534, who is also known by the name of
Antonio Lombardo or Francisco Antonio Pigafetta. Initially
linked to the order of Rhodes, which was Knight, went to Spain
in 1519, accompanied by Monsignor Francisco Chiericato, and
Was made available from Carlos V to promote the company
initiated by the Catholic Monarchs in the Atlantic. Soon he
became a great friendship with Magallanes, who accompanied,
* together with Juan Sebastian Elcano, in the famous expedition
to the Moluccas begun in August of 1519 and finished in
September 1522.Who is Antonio Pigafetta?
— He was wounded at the battle of the island of Cebu (Philippines) in
which Magellan found death, The output of Seville made it aboard of
the Trinity; the return, along with a handful of survivors (17 of the
239 who left this adventure), in victory, ship that entered in Sanlucar
de Barrameda (Cadiz) on September 6, the designated year. In the
last years of his life, he traveled by land from France to finally return
to Italy in 1523. He wrote the relation of that trip, which was the first
around the world, Italian and with the title of Relazioni in lathe to
the primo viaggio di circumnavigazione. Notizia del Mondo Nuovo
with figure you dei paesi scoperti, which was published
posthumously, in 1536.Who is Antonio Pigafetta?
— The account of Pigafetta is the single most important source about
the voyage of circumnavigation, despite its tendency to include
fabulous details. He took notes daily, as he mentioned when he
realizes his surprise at Spain and see that he had lost a day (due to its
driving direction). Includes descriptions of numerous animals,
including sharks, the Storm petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus), the pink
spoonbill (Ajaja ajaja) and the Phyllium orthoptera, an insect similar
to a sheet. Pigafetta captured a copy of the latter near Borneo and
kept it in a box, believing a moving blade who lived in the air. His
report is rich in ethnographic details. He practiced as an interpreter
and came to develop, at least in two Indonesian dialects.ST Cae ee eee eee

'— The Ladrones Islands is presently known as the Marianas Islands.
_ Tendays after they have reached Ladrones Islands, Pigafetta
| reported that they have what he called the Isle of Zamal, now
_ Samar but Magellan decided to land in another uninhabited island
for greater security where they could rest for a few days.
fs On MARCH 18, nine men came to them and showed joy and
eagerness in seeing them. Magellan realized that the men were
reasonable and welcomed them with food, drinks and gifts.On March 25, Pigafetta recounted that they saw two balanghai (balangay), a
long boat full of people in Mazzava/Mazaus. The leader whom he reffered to
the king became closely bonded with Magellan as they both exchanged gifts to
‘one another.
‘After afew days, Magellan was introduced to the king's brother who was also a
king of another island where Pigafetta reported that they saw mines of gold,
‘The gold was abundant that parts of the ship and of the house of the king were
made of gold, This king was named Rata‘Calambu, king of Zuluan and Calagan
(Butuan and Caragua), and the first king was Raia Siagu.= On March 31% (Easter Sunday); Magellan ordered the chaplain to preside a
Mass by the shore, The king heard about this plan and sent two dead pigs and
attended the Mass with the other king, Pigafetta then wrote:
“when the offertory of the mass came, the two kings, went to kiss the cross like
us, but they offered nothing, and at the elevation of the body of our Lord they
were kneeling like us, and adored our Lord with joined hands.”
‘This was the first Mass in the Philippines, and the crass would be famed Magellan's
Crass which is still preserved at present day. This was the same cross which
Magellan explained to the kings as a sign of his emperor who ordered him to plan
it in the places were he would reach and further explained that once other
‘Spaniards saw this cross, then they would know that they had been in this island
and would not cause them troubles.PS
Tt RCM: Thc)Pigafetta was left on board the ship and was not able to join the 24 men who
‘went to the gathering because he was nursing his battle wounds
The natives had siain all the men except the interpreter and Juan Serrano who
shouted at the men an this ship to pay ransom so that he would be spared but
he was left on the island for they refused to go back to shore,
‘The fleet abandoned Serrano and departed. They left Cebu and continued their
journey around the world.E NN eter ; iaaillilts

, ij jit+The Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng
mga Anak ng Bayan (KKK) or Katipunan is arguably
the most important organization formed in the
Philippine history.
“The two principal aims of the KKK as gathered from
the writings of Bonifacio:
1 Unity of the filipino people
3 Canaratinn fram cnain hy maanc nf rounliution“= Bonifacio came out after the failure of the
reform movement headed by Rizal and M. Del
Pilar. This paved way for a more enepieal andRizal doubtless approved the first aim but refused
to accept the second and this was the reason that
he refused to go along with the “Katipuneros”
(soldiers’ of the Katipunan) and voluntarily
surrendered that leads him to prison and death.
- To achieve unity of the Filipinos, propaganda work
must be done and this was through massive
education and civic trainings of the Katipuneros. To
that end, Bonifacio prepared his now well-known
decalogue, and Jacinto his famous “Kartilya ng
Katipunan” (Primer of the Katipunan)—These are the rules in Kartilya.
The Kartilya can be treated as the
Katipunan’s Code of conduct
which contains 14 rules that
instruct the way a Katipunero
should behave.etek ina iee ttre

5. The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the scoundrel, gain
to honor.
6, To the honorable man, his word is sacred.
7. Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost.
8, Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the law or in the
field.

40. On the thorny path of life, man is the quide of woman and the
children, and if the guide leads to the precipice, those whom he guides
will also go there.
11. Thou must not look upon woman as a mere plaything, but as a faithful
companion who will share with thee the penalties of life: her (physical)
weakness will increase thy interest in her and she will remind thee of the
mother who bore thee and reared thee.
12. What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and
sisters, that do not unto the wife, children, brothers and sisters of thy
neighbor.Below is a translated version of the
rules on Kartilya

13. Man is not worth more because he is a king, because his
nose is aquiline, and his color white, not because he is a *priest,
_a servant of god, nor because of the high prerogative that he
‘enjoys upon earth, but he is worth most who is a man of proven
land real value, who does good, keeps his words, is worthy and
honest; he who does not oppress nor consent to being
“oppressed, he whe loves and cherishes his fatherland, though
he be born in the wilderness and know no tongue but his own.Below is a translated version of the
rules on Kartilya
14. When these rules of conduct shall be known to all, the
longed-for sun of liberty shall rise brilliant over this most
unhappy portion of the globe and its rays shall diffuse
everlasting joy among the confederated brethren of the
same rays, the lives of those who have gone before, the
fatigues and the well-paid sufferings will remain. If he who
desires to enter (the katipunan) has informed himself of all
this and believes he will be able to perform what will be his
duties, he may fill out the application for admission.KATIPUNAN
