particular day, the entire Filipino nation as well as Filipino communities all over the world

to overthrow the Spanish government in
the Philippines.

Native clergy attracted supporters by giving them charismatic
assurance that thier fight would not fail because they had God’s
support, aside from promises of lofty rewards such as employment,
wealth, and ranks in the army.
