Customs of the Tagalogs

At the beginning of the 16th century, Juan de Plasencia, also known as Juan
Portocarrero, was born in Plasencia, Extremadura, Spain. When Juan de Plasencia was
a child, the Siglo de Oro was a time of great prosperity. In addition, he was regarded as
a champion of the native population, frequently advocating for the rights of the poor, ill,
or abandoned. The author's identity or authorship was the first obstacle. The second is
colonial writing's power discourse and the third, the logic of opposites. These issues are
probably the issues with Philippine colonial writing.

Raiders of the Sulu Sea

They were referred to as vengeful tribesmen, brave slave thieves, and, most
importantly, pirates in the past. From the Sulu Sea region of the Southern Philippines,
the Ilanun, Balangingi Samal, and Taosug tribes raided and pillaged settlements in the
Philippines, Borneo, Java, and the Straits of Malacca, as well as throughout South East
Asia, from the 16th century to the 19th century, in search of human cargo to meet the
growing demands of the slave trade. Bravery and tenacity, for example, may be
portrayed in the film. But I don't like the brutality that the Sulu Sea raiders showed in
relation to the slave trade.

Kartilya ng Katipunan

In Emilio Jacinto's Kartilya of Katipunan, he established ethical guidelines, fundamental


values, and a pledge that must be adhered to by every Katipunero who wishes to join
the Katipunan for the revolution. The consequences for violators will be proportional to
their offenses. During the struggle for the Philippines' independence from Spanish
colonial rule, our heroes devised a code of conduct. When determining the contribution
of the katipunans' kartilya and its applicability, the following factors should be taken into
consideration. Every organization has always been infused with Filipino values and
morals.
The Works of Luna and Amorsolo

Amorsolo was dubbed "The Painter of Philippines Sunlight" for his lit landscape
paintings that depicted Filipino customs, culture, fiestas, and activities like rice
harvesting and mango picking as well as the splendor of the country's sunshine.
Because they "provided an imagined feeling of nationhood in opposition to American
colonial control," his pastoral works played a significant role in the formation of the
Filipino national identity. Rizal delivered a speech in their honor at the June 25, 1884,
celebration of the two medal winners held at Restaurant Ingles in Madrid. In addition to
recognizing the success of the two, the audience hears, accepts, praises, and
acknowledges the underlying goals of his toast. Beyond racial divides and questions,
this essay will examine Rizal's views on equality and freedom of man.
 

Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan 

Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan Aguinaldo wrote a lot in his later years. Between the years
1928 and 1946, he used longhand to write the first volume of his memoirs. It was
named "Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan", which was subsequently deciphered as "Journals
of the Upset”. In the introduction, Aguinaldo stated that the memoirs were based on his
diary, saved documents, and family legends that he had learned from his parents. The
second volume covered the Philippine Revolution against Spain and the Philippine-
American War. In an effort to correct history, Aguinaldo cited the historians' erroneous
accounts of the revolution's beginning.

The Act of the Declaration of Philippine Independence

General Aguinaldo believed that the Philippines needed to be declared independent


from Spain in order to inspire the people to fight the Spaniards with greater zeal.
Following the declaration of independence, the nation would begin receiving recognition
from other nations. However, due to Spain's ceding the Philippines to the United States
as part of The 1898 Treaty of Paris in exchange for an indemnity for expenses incurred
and property lost by Spain, neither the United States nor Spain recognized the
declaration. There is no other nation.
