nourished systematically over a period of
time.

 Contents and meaning of Filipino
nationalism
The Historic Service of Nationalism
Nationalism is the cementing
principle that unites the people of a
nation in order to realize an ideal
that becomes national with respect
and dignity it deserves among other
nations (Gregorio C. Pitacsil)
 The Development of Filipino Nationalism
The lack of national sentiments was the cause of
all the failures of the sporadic revolts in the
Philippines from 1565 to 1872.
The executions of Burgos, Gomez, and Zamora in
1872 and Jose Rizal in 1896 emotionally united the
people due to their national demand for reform. The
Katipunan, with Bonifacio as leader, initiated the
uprising movement. The Philippine Revolution under
Aguinaldo, with its adoption of the Filipino Flag, the
singing of the National Anthem, and the promulgation of
the Malolos Constitution, completed the needed symbols
that expressed our national sentiments – the elements
that bind and unite the Philippines to develop the
Filipino brand of nationalism

 The Good Citizenship Value of
Patriotism

patriotism, we should be good and loving
citizens constantly vigilant for the

being ready to sacrifice ourselves for
the love of our country. NINOY is the
epitome of a real hero who is known for
his famous saying that “The Filipino is
worth dying for… It is better to die on
our feet than to live on our knees”.
Some point to powder:
-Patriotism is a call for every citizen
-Our country needs people who are committed to
serve the interest of the nation no matter who
are seated at the of the governments
-There is such a thing as heroes but none whose
deeds do not touch the life of atleast one
person

Some concrete examples of how we may cultivate

the value of Patriotism
- Loving our country
- Patrionizing our country
 Being proud of our personal and national identity. Let us just be proud
of our heritage and study our history and learn from it.
 Being vigilant and proactive citizens. Let us try to be well-informed of
the issues affecting our country.
 Being law-abiding citizens. Let us respect and uphold the Constitution
and all other laws of the land (e.g., paying taxes, obeying traffic rules,
etc.)
 Being kind and compassionate to others who may not be as fortunate
as we are in terms of material wealth. Let us share our blessings with our
fellowmen.
 Being responsible voters. Let us choose candidates according to our
conscience.
