Period of

Active
Revolution
BY: KIT RICHARD A. DOLLIZON
Period of Active Revolution
August 23, 1896 – June 12, 1898
Period of Active Revolution
• This period began in August 1896, where the Filipinos are gathering to plot for a revolution. A power
struggle event to restore Philippine authority and its culture.

• This also happened through the Martyrdom of the three Priest

•The Filipinos did not get the reforms demanded by the propagandists. The government turned deaf ears
to these petitions; oppression continued and the church and the government became even more
oppressive to the Filipinos. The good intentions of Spain were reversed by the friars who were lording
it over in the Philippines.
Causes of Active Revolution
(1) The abuses of Spanish officials and priests

(2) Persecution of Filipino leaders who defended the rights of their fellow countrymen

(3) Filipinos 'desire to regain their independence

(4) Discovery of the Katipunan and Bonifacio’s call for revolution.

• Because of this, not a few of the Filipinos affiliated with the La Liga Filipina (a civic organization
suspected of being revolutionary and which triggered Rizal's banishment to Dapitan). Like Andres
Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, Apolinario Mabini, Jose Palma, and Pio Valenzuela decided that there was
no other way except to revolt. The gist of literature contained mostly accusations against the
government and were meant to give rise for the people to unite and to prepare for independence.

ANG DAPAT MABATID
NG MGA TAGALOG
(What the Tagalogs
Should Know)

This famous patriotic call was

published under the nom de plume
Agapito Bagumbayan. The
Tagalogs, it declares, have supported
and sustained “the race of legazpi”
for over 300 years, but have been
rewarded with treachery, “false
beliefs” and dishonor. “To eyes long
blind,” the light of reason has now
revealed this harsh injustice and
shown the separate, self-reliant road
the Tagalogs must take.
KATUNGKULANG
GAGAWIN NG MGA
ANAK NG BAYAN
(Obligations of Our
Countrymen)
 It is a format by Bonifacio about
the Duties of KKK members.
Basically derived from the old
testament about the 10
commandments.

be calm, to be guided by reason,
and to support one another, even
at the cost of one’s life.
