discussion of course meron tayong trivia
did you know that on June 12 1898
Philippines celebrates its independence
day in recognition when Philippines
declared it its Independence from Spain
Although it was not recognized until
July 4 1946 by the United States of
America during 1940 to 1960 Philippines
observed Independence Day on July 4 each
year but Later on 1961 President gius
dado makapagal reverted the holiday on
June 12 date and late President created
the day July 4 as filipino-american
friendship Day so the date June 12 1898
which we considers and celebrates The
independence day until now was really
originally not recognized by the
Americans and also the Spaniards Uh
until July 4 1946 So this date July 4
1946 was reverted by the late President
justado makapagal into Filipino and
American friendship Day so the date or
the actual date for Independence Uh was
on June 12
1898 until now and additionally in 1898
at trivia again ambrosio rianzares
Bautista became the first advisor to
President Emilio Aguinaldo and
subsequently wrote the declaration of
Philippine Independence so simply Mr
Bautista was the author of The
declaration of Philippine Independence
So what we saw or what we are seeing
statements and in the documents it is
written by Mr or the author of that
statements was Mr ambrosio rianzares
Bautista the advisor of the the late
President Emilio aginaldo And now we are
going to dve into our topic proper and
this topic is all about the reading of
the proclamation of Philippine
Independence so dito na tayo magsisimula
sa ating um discusion in this slide
states that every year the country
commemorates the anniversary of the
Philippine Independence proclaimed on 12
of June 1898 in the province of Cavite
So it is signaled as the end of the 333
years of Spanish colonization in the
country numerous studies done on the
events leading To The independence of
the country and this documents are not
Uh um revealed to Some students and
hindi nila o Some students cannot find
some original copies of this document so
the document reveals on the rationale
and circumstances of the historical day
in Cavite So this document reveals no
and reveals and it surrounds with the
historical events happened during
independence day and it it was Exactly
at Cavite City so the document in
hindsight is telling the kind of
Government that was created under
Aguinaldo and the forthcoming hand of
the United States of America so the
declaration was as short as 2000 word
document so that document or that Uh
statement is only 2,000 shortened words
which summarize or nagsa-submit ito ng
mga rason behind sa rebolusyon na ginawa
ng mga ah kababayan nating um mga bayani
natin against Spain para sa war ng
Kalayaan or the war for Independence and
under the new republic Uh that was under
the the late President Emilio Aguinaldo
so Uh this sides presents to you the
infographics Uh came from the internet
shows how the Filipino people celebrates
the Independence Day After the late
President Emilio Aguinaldo declared it
at Cavite so we have the source below so
the proclamation commen with of the
condition in the Philippines during the
colonial period it is mentioned the
abuses the inequalities the violence Uh
the despairs the bloods that's sweats of
the of the colony under the Spaniards so
the first part of the documents reveals
the psych of the revolutionary and
provides their justification of the
revolting against Spain so iyung mga
rason nila at mga justification Bakit
sila kumalaban sa mga O bakit sila
nagbuo ng Himagsikan laban sa mga
mananakop ng bansa So this slides
presents to you the official statement
from the proclamation written by
Mr ambrosio rianzares Bautista and this
is the first part of it so as you may
look at the text I will explain the
passage for you so the first passage
demonstrate the justification behind the
Revolution against pain and the unequal
protection of the law between the
Filipino people and the iminent
personage and in the text it says that
on the account of arbitrary arrest and
harsh treatment practice by The Civil
guard to the extent of causing death
with
the connivance and even with the express
orders of their Commanders who sometimes
went to the extreme of ordering the
shooting of prisoners so iyung mga
nakakulong din ng mga panahon na iyon sa
ah pananakop ng mga spanner dito sa
Pilipinas ay nakakaranas din ng sobrang
lupit na pag Pam molestya ng mga Guardia
Civil sa kanilang kulungan so So marami
doon ay nakaranas ng unlawful act ng mga
gwardya civil at hindi yun makatarungan
sa para sa atin So it is also cited the
abuse of civil guards Yun na nga Iyung
Guardia Civil and their unlawful
shooting of prisoners so also the line
mentions the avarice and Greed of the
clergy like the Friars and archbishop
himself and The un unjust deportation
and rendering of other decision with a
proper hearing expected of any civilized
Nation So kung ngayon mapapansin niyo
yung mga pari o Pastor ay
kagalang-galang at nirerespeto nung
unang panahon ay hindi sila ganon so
they are to face people and of course um
as you may notice and can see in the in
the written history that Uh mapang-abuso
sila ng mga pari madami silang madami
rin silang minolestya mga kababayan
nating o mga kanunununuan natin noon sa
mga unlawful acts din nila ah sa mga
Filipinos nung panahon ng colonial o
panahon ng ah pananakop ng Spaniard sa
bansa the next slides proceeds the
proclamation proceeded with a brief
historical overview of the Spanish
occupation since Magellan's arrival in
Visayas Exactly at maktan Cebu Uh until
the Philippine Revolution especially
after the pack of biyak na bato collapse
It also narrates the movements like the
electric spark through Bataan Pampanga
Batangas Bulacan Laguna and Morong the
revol also reach vayas and The
independence of the country was ensured
so this movement electric spark um Ah
hindi lang siya nagpunta or hindi lang
siya nalagip sa Bataan Pampanga Batangas
Bulacan Laguna Morong o doun sa mga
kalapit bayan sa sa Luzon umabot din ang
Revolt nito sa Visayas at dito
masasaksihan ng Independence sa bansa ay
Sarado na na ensure na ito It also
mentioned Ral execution calling it
unjust so this slide presents to you the
pictures na mag magpapatunay sa inyo ng
or mag ggive sa inyo ng idea tungkol sa
mga ah sinabi ko na descriptions So this
part of the slide um it is also part of
the statement it is from the
proclamation and this statement is from
the first part so Uh to give you the
meaning behind that text it or it
invokes where on the 12th day of June
1898 the appointment to proclaim and
solemnize the dictator government of
these Philippine Islands we recognize
approve and ratify with all of the
orders emanating from the same
dictatorship established by Don Emilio
Aguinaldo in the conviction that he has
been the instrument chosen by God in
spite of the humble origin to effectuate
the Redemption of this Unfortunate
county As for the foret by Dr Don Jose
Rizal in his Magnificent verses which he
composed in his Prison cell prior to his
execution liberating it from the yoke of
Spanish domination So this text um
elaborates Uh the dictatorship would led
by the late President Emilio Aguinaldo
another detail in the proclamation that
is worth looking at is It's The
explanation of Philippine Flag that was
first we on the same day the document
explained as you can see in the slide it
exp all of the meaning of the Philippine
plag especially after the announcement
of our Independence Day but to give you
the exact and brief explanation behind
the text and that is this often over
woked detail reveals much about the
historically accurate meaning behind the
most widely known national symbol of the
Philippines which is ang ating watawat
it is not known by many o hindi yun alam
ng karamihan Uh Like for example that
white triangle Uh was derived from the
symbol of the Katipunan the movement or
himagsikan na ng namuo the red and blue
colors of the flag are often associated
with courage and peace respectively kaya
nasa taas ang ang asul dahil ito ay
nagsisimbolo ng kapayapaan at ang ang
nagrepresenta naman sa kulay na pula ay
um himagsikan pero nananaig ang kulay
asul sa watawat dahil ang courage ng
bansa Ito ay peace respectively our
Basic Education Uh admits the fact that
those colors were taken from the flag of
the United States of America so nakikita
rin natin dito ang impluwensya ng mga ah
Kastila sa kulay ng ating um kulay ng
ating Watawat while it can always be
argued the symbolic meaning can always
change and be reinterpreted the original
symbolic meaning of something represents
as several historical truths that can
explain the subsequent events which
unfolded after the declaration of
Independence on the 12th of 12th day of
June
1898 Uh so to give you the summarize or
the summary of this whole topic so the
statement or the official statement of
the proclamation for Philippine
Independence went from the arrival of
governor Miguel Lopez del Legaspi
followed by his um also the Explorer
Ferdinand magand in the island to the
experiences of the Filipinos and the
personages under the civil guards mga
Guardia Civil na viol or the violation
of no rules and regulation for human
rights also to the agreement to pact of
biyak na bato until it dissolves and the
revolutionary movement na ginawa ng mga
ah ng mga kababayan natin which succeed
to the detachment or yung pagkaalis sa
kamay ng mga Spaniards ang mga sinakop
nila na lugar dito sa Pilipinas to some
towns of the country and the
dictatorship established by Don Emilio
Aguinaldo and and the unjust execution
of result thus the execution also of the
three Marty priest which is the what you
call the gumburza and lastly
Uh after the Independence it is all it
is advised and it is mentioned also in
the statement that Filipinos up until up
until this day must use the same flag
that used from the declaration of The
independence to the Years follow So yung
ginamit na i iwinagayway na what Watawat
doon sa Kawit Cavite ni president Emilio
aguinald at dapat yun ang watawat na
gamitin hanggang sa hanggang ngayon so
thank you for listening to this Uh
discussion or this or this topic I hope
everyone gain insights and open for this
um statements and I hope I describe this
statements clearly and understandable to
each and everyone at di rin natin
kaligtaan yung mga
sinakripisyo na buhay ng ating mga
bayani sa bansa para makamit ang
demokrasya or kalayaan na natatamasa
natin ngayon ngayon pakinggan naman
natin si Miss fhana tanggal sa karugtong
ng report na ito tungkol sa analysis of
proclamation of the Philippine
Independence Thank you miss denta again
I am City Farhana tangal reporting the
analysis of the proclamation of the
Philippines Independence the document on
the declaration of Independence a
naglalaman ng importanteng detalye
tungkol sa mga abuso na naranasan ng mga
Pilipino sa panahon ng kolonyalismo
tulad ng pang-aabuso ng mga pari
diskriminasyon sa lahi at hindi
pagkakapantay-pantay sa batas gayunpaman
hindi nito tinutukoy ang mas malalim na
problema ng krisis sa lupa na labis na
naapektuhan ang mga magsasaka way back
19th century This is ironic especially
when renowned Philippine Revolution
historian Teodoro Agoncillo State that
the Philippine Revolution was an agaran
Revolution ang mga karaniwang sundalong
naglaban sa rebolusyon ay umaasang
makakuha ng mga lupaing kanilang
sinasaka kung magtatagumpay ang
rebolusyon pero ang mga lider ng
rebolusyon tulad nila Emilio Aguinaldo
ambrosio rianzares Bautista at Felipe
Buencamino na mga may-ari ng lupa ay
tila hindi ito isinama sa deklarasyon
maaaaring Dahil hindi nila ito nakikita
o sinasadyang hindi isama dahil sa
kanilang sariling inter bilang mga
may-ari ng lupa ang Treaty of Paris ay
isang kasunduan sa pagitan ng Espanya at
Estados Unidos tungkol sa pang-aaping sa
lupain ng Pilipinas This is also the
reason that the war between Spanish and
American was put to end it was signed on
December 10 1898 and after 6 months
tuluyan nang nakamit ang kalayaan ng
Pilipinas sa kamay ng Espanya dahil sa
kalayaang ito ibinenta ng Espanya ang
Pilipinas sa US sa halagang $20 milyon
dahil dito naging madali naang sakupin
ng Amerika ang Pilipinas ang
proklamasyong ito ay nagpakilala sa mga
paghihirap at kung paano napagtagumpayan
ng gobyerno aginaldo ang pagkamit sa
kalayaan nailarawan din dito ang
execution of Gomburza gom bua are the
three priests Mariano Gomez jose bgo and
Jino Zamora na bigong pag-aalsa sa
Cavite taong 1872 at mga gawan ni Rizal
samantala sa ilang detalye ng Katipunan
ni na siyang nanguna sa rebolusyon ay
nabanggit din naman sa huling bahagi ng
dokumento pero hindi nabanggit dito kung
paano nagsimula ang Katipunan maging si
bonofacio at mga miyembro nito na bumuo
ng Katipunan on the contrary the war led
by aguinaldo's men with the Forces of
the United States will discuss in detail
samantalang ang away sa pagitan ng
kupunan ni Aguinaldo at kupunan ni
bonfacio ay hindi sinekreto isa itong
patunay na ang dokumento ay nagpapakita
sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas at
isinalaysay ng kung sino man ang
namumuno sa panahong
iyon it shows that Although the
information that we get from the
government is realistic ay mas maganda
pa ring kumuha ng sources sa mga
original document para hindi iisang
panig lang ang pakikinggan at ibabahagi
this gives us a lesson when we're
talking about historical or may
kinalaman sa bansa mas magandang
tumingin sa mga primary sources ngang sa
ganon ay makuha natin ang buong detalye
at buong
katotohanan again this is City Farhana
tangalan Ventura Thank you for listening
