Activity/Assessment:
TASK1: Answer the following questions briefly.

1. What does the document want to convey?

On 12th of June, somewhere in the range of four and five toward the evening,
Aguinaldo, within the sight of a gigantic group, announced the autonomy of the Philippines at
Kawit, Cavite. Just because, the Philippine National Flag, made in Hongkong by Mrs. Marcela
Agoncillo, helped by Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herboza, was formally raised and the
Philippine National March played openly. The Act of the Declaration of Independence was set
up by Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, who likewise read it. An entry in the Declaration helps one
to remember another section in the American Declaration of Independence. The Philippine
Declaration was marked by ninety-eight people, among them an American armed force official
who saw the decree. The announcement of Philippine autonomy was, as it may, proclaimed on
August 1 when numerous towns had been sorted out under the bothers set somewhere near the
Dictatorial Government.

With an administration in activity, Aguinaldo felt that it was important to proclaim the
freedom of the Philippines. He accepted that such a move would rouse the individuals to battle
all the more enthusiastically against the Spaniards and simultaneously, lead the outside nations
to perceive the freedom of the nation. Mabini, who had at this point been made Aguinaldo's
informal consultant, protested. He put together his complaint with respect to the way that it was
increasingly imperative to redesign the administration in such a way as to persuade the outside
forces of the skill and dependability of the new government than to declare Philippine autonomy
at such an early period. Aguinaldo, be that as it may, held fast and won.

2. How did the Filipinos regard the United States of America based on the document?
What is your stand on this? Do you agree with the Filipinos the way they looked at
the Americans?

During the Spanish-American War, Filipino revolutionaries driven by Emilio Aguinaldo

broadcast the autonomy of the Philippines following 300 years of Spanish principle. By

1
mid-August, Filipino radicals and U.S. troops had expelled the Spanish, however Aguinaldo's
expectations for freedom were run when the United States officially added the Philippines as a
feature of its tranquility bargain with Spain. From his outcast, Aguinaldo made courses of action
with U.S. specialists to come back to the Philippines and help the United States in the war
against Spain.

In addition, numerous enemies of settlers in the United States, for example,

Democratic presidential competitor William Jennings Bryan, restricted U.S. extension of the
Philippines, however in November 1900 Republican office holder William McKinley was
reappointed, and the war proceeded. In 1935, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was set up
with U.S. endorsement, and Manuel Quezon was chosen the nation's first president. On July 4,
1946, full freedom was allowed to the Republic of the Philippines by the United States.

The choice by U.S. policymakers to add the Philippines was not without household
contention. Americans who supported addition displayed an assortment of inspirations: want for
business openings in Asia, a worry that the Filipinos were unequipped for self-rule, and dread
that if the United States didn't assume responsibility for the island. That is, I do concur that
Americans by one way or another had an incredible commitment for the Filipino individuals.

3. What is the importance of this document in the history of our country?

Philippine Independence Day has been commended each June 12 since 1962. The
first festival used to be on July 4, yet then-President Diosdado Macapagal changed the date to
June 12, in recognition of Emilio Aguinaldo's affirmation of autonomy from the Spaniards.

The affirmation of autonomy is one of the most significant achievements in Philippine

history. The nation was colonized by numerous countries for many years. Envision
accomplishing your opportunity after all the difficulties you've experienced, freedom is significant
for a nation and its history as it's the very explanation behind its reality and existence.
