Diego Silang ay nagging magaling na leader subalit mas pinahahalagahan niya ang
kanyang kasikatan bilang si “El Rey de Ilocos” ( The king of Ilocos)

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 thour dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and sisters,
that do not unto the wife, children, brothers and sisters of thy neighbor.
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 priset, a servant of God, nor because of the

values upheld in the document as consistent with the liberal ideas in the 18th and
19th century. Equality, tolerance, freedom, and liberty were the values we decipher
reading the Kartilya.
The declaration was a short 2,000-word document, which summarized the reason behind
the revolution against Spain, the war for independence, and the future of the new
republic under Emilio Aguinaldo
In summary, the declarations starts off by saying that during the spanish
inhabitant in the philippines, civil guards before practiced harsh treatment of the
prisoners to the extent of causing death. Commanders sometimes went to the extreme
of ordering the shooting of prisoner under the pretext that they were attempting to
escape.
The passage justifies behind the revolution against the Spain. the passage also
condemned what they see as the unjust deportation and rendering of other decision
without proper hearing, expected of any civilized nation.
The proclamation then proceeded with a brief historical overview of the spanish
occuption since Magellan's arrival in Visayas.
The proclamation of independence also involve the death of rizal calling it

"unjust" it was done to "pleasea the greedy body of friars in their insatiable
desire to seek revenge upon and exterminate all those who are oppesed to their
Machiavellian purposes.
The document also narrated the infamous execution of the martyred native priest.
They were famously known as "GOMBURZA" in the novel which rizal written.
"whose innocent blood was shed through the intrigues of those so-called religious
orders"
It explains the historically accurate meaning behind the most widely known national
symbol in the Philippines.
*The red and blue colors of the flag are often associated with courage and peace
respectively.
* The three stars represent the three principal Islands of this Archipelago, Luzon,
Mindanao and Panay.
* Sun represents the gigantic strides that have been made by the sons of this land
on the road of progress and civilization.
* Sun's eight rays symbolizes the eight provinces of Manila, Cavite, Bulacan,
Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Laguna and Batangas.
The analysis point is, even official records and documents like the proclamation of
independence, while truthful most of the time. still exude the politics and biases
of whoever is in power. This manifests in the selectiveness of information that can
be found in these record. To analyze the content of these documents in relation to
the dominant politics and the contexts of people and institutions sorrunding it.
This tells us a lesson that studying one historical subject thus entails looking at
multiple primary sources and pieces of historical evidences in order to have a more
nuanced and contextual analysis of our past.
