a reference in reading Philippine History. (10pts)

The value of primary sources lies in the fact that they introduce students to essential historical concepts.
The first student realizes that all recorded history is based on the author's understanding of historical
events. As a result, a student may understand the subjective essence of a historical account as they read
it. Aside from that, primary sources are typically described as firsthand data or facts. For me as a
student, it is a step forward to understand the backstory of Philippine history because it will aid in my
learning. It offer us insight into what our country been through in the last few decades or years. This
would be beneficial because reading increases our ability to think critically. It also improves the
awareness, skills, and analytical abilities of the readers. Primary sources are important in terms of
authenticity because the information comes directly from the person or group that experienced or
witnessed the past events. Secondary sources is important because it analyze or interpret all the
information from the primary sources and recreate the events more organized.

QUIZ 3

Instructions: Give three reasons why Plasencia’s Customs of the Tagalogs is

important to the grand narrative of Philippine History (10 pts each)

Write on a separate piece of short bond paper.

1. The first reason why Plasencia’s Custom of the Tagalogs is important to the

grand narrative of Philippines History because of the life system of the Filipino

during the pre-hispanic period. According to him there were three castes

during that time witch are called the nobles or maharlica, the commoners or

aliping namamahay and the slaves or aliping sa guiguilir. The aliping

namamahay are those commoners who are married and serve their master

whether he is datu or not with half their cultivated land. And the aliping sa

guiguiliur are those slaves that serve their master in his house and on his

cultivated lands and they can be sold. Knowing these facts opens up the idea

of the current Filipino people that the life system nowadays is not stricter

compared to the system before.

2. The second reason is he mentioned that the early Filipino people have “

Badhala” whom they worshiped with. Badhala is all powerful and maker of all

things priests were called catalonan where they fight different kinds of evil

person such us mangagauay, mancocolam, and hocloban, and also people

have customs during the pre-hispanic period. One of the major example of

this is burial of a deceased person that will be buried beside in this house.

These awakens the current Filipino people what kind of religion they have and

how the Tagalogs worship their gods before.


3. The third reason is that the Customs of the Tagalogs acts as a standard

source of the references as to the pre-conquest natives as it was considered

as a primary source. Plasencia accounts the institution of slavery, marriage,

priesthood, ect., but the reader should be warned that it is neither complete

nor always accurate. Without his accounts, the knowledge on the different

customs of the Tagalogs will be unknown hence, making the relationship

between the past and present customs will not be made.

1. Open a google map and check the location of Zamboanga Region in

the Philippines and identify the place where Islam dominates in

Mindanao.

2. Why there is on-going hatred between Christianity and Muslims in

our country?

- For me the reason why they still on going hatred is because of

they belief. We know Christianity believe God is a trinity of person, we

believe Jesus is God the second person of the Blessed trinity, but

Muslims do not and the God whom Muslim worship is the true God

and we must recognize that most Muslim are decent, honorable

people.

2. Why they are still on-going anger between Moro and Christians Majority?

- Because of the Philippine government they encouraged

Christian settlers in Mindanao to form a militia called the Ilaga to fight

the Moros. The conflict between these rebel groups and the Armed

forces of the Philippines continued until the end of our President

Marcos’ regime.

the significance of the sword to them is to defend themselves and their places

to all the intruders. They have different kind of sword like Barong is a thick,

leaf-shaped, single-edge blade swords.

2. The vessel is also one of the material cultures of Moro the pirate ships used

by the Moro’s include various designs like the paraw, pangayaw, garay and

lanong. The majority were wooden sailing galleys (lanong) about ninety feet

long with a beam of twenty feet. And also it’s used to travel to different places

and this ship was equipped with cannons.

3. Armor their armor was made from carabao horn or steel plates was

molded to fit the body and held together with chainmail it could deflect the

blows from a sword but it was useless against Spanish firearms. This armor
was being used to protect themselves and to lessen the impact of the slash of

the sword and the impact of the bullets.

QUIZ 4

Instructions: In July 2018, the historical signing into law of the long-awaited

Bangsamoro Organic Law finally took place. It has always been the goal of

every administration to put an end to the Moro conflict which has its origins in

the country’s colonial period. In 250-word essay, look into the identified

causes of Moro conflict in the country in relation to the documentary, Raiders

of the Sulu Sea, and analyze how the Bangsamoro Organic Law can possibly

address the issue. Write the essay on another paper. (20 pts)

The Bangsamoro is now an autonomous region within the Philippines

because of the Bangsamoro organic law. It is a move the could end the

longest running conflicts in the Philippines. This Bangsamoro Law

grantspartial autonomy to the Muslims. But to fully understand how the

Bangsamoro organic law can have addressed this issue we need to

understand fully if how did the Moro community became in conflict with the

government of the country.

The causes of Moro conflict is to Moro people’s motivation stem from

desire for increased levels of economic, political and cultural controls. Full out
ethnic war is unlikely since the ethnic groups have indicated acceptance of an

agreement short of full independence and the Filipino government is

committed to reaching a peace agreement. The Moro insurgency was

triggered by the Jabidah massacre in 1968, during which 60 Filipino Muslim

commandos on a planned operation to reclaim the eastern part of the

Malaysian state of Sabah were killed.

We know that the war and conflict in Mindanao is one of the country’s

biggest issues that roots back with their disputes over ancestral land and

religion. The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is the

home of the Muslims who fight for their self-determination and aspirations for

a peaceful and progressive region. The main purpose of this Organic Law is

to establish a political entity, provide for its basic structure of government in

recognition of the justness and legitimacy of the cause of the Bangsamoro

people and the aspirations of Muslim Filipino and all indigenous cultural

communities in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.

III. ESSAY (10 pts each item)

Instructions: Give 200 – 300 words of essay each item with knowledgeable

explanation and write the answer on a separate piece of paper.

1. Give the reason why Plasencia’s Customs of the Tagalogs is important to

the grand narrative of Philippine history.

The work of Juan de Plasencia , specifically Relacion de las

Costumbres de los Tagalogs , or also know as Custom of the Tagalogs, was

considered as a significant aspect in the philippine history since it contains an

immense information regarding the political and socio-cultural aspect within

the Tagalog area. Filipinos are already civilized even before the spanish
colonization, as for his experiences and Observations.Although the original

work was a product of the observation and judgements , this work of

Plasencia was still able to give knowledge about culture and the importance.

Because It is important to the grand Spanish narrative as civilizer and

savior of our doomed souls from eternal hellfire. That’s why the Spaniards will

quote it forever as their prime authoritative source to show just how primitive

we were and how great their contribution was to our development.In the

documents of Plasencia, he also observed the beliefs of the Tagalogs about

their gods, devil's , witches, burials, and their beliefs on afterlife. Although

Plasencia only observed this customs and traditions he manage to give me a

picture of how early Filipinos and live by their customs and traditions.

All these customs were practiced by the Tagalogs or the early Filipinos

even before the spaniards came into the philippines with this kind of fact. It

can be concluded that the early Filipinos have their own style of governing

their people and having a fair judgment system.

2. Despite of passing the Bangsamoro Organic Law and establishment of

Bangsamoro Transition Government to have peace and stability on the Land

of Promise for decades of bloodshed against the Muslim Separatist and

Philippine Government forces. Why there still on-going struggle and terrorism

on Mindanao against the people of the Philippines and Government? How can

we attain the real peace and unity on Bangsamoro Region?

Because of they still struggle in a response to “Historical injustices” and

grave human rights violations committed against the people of the Mindanao.

Before we can attain the real peace and unity on Bangsamoro region first we

need to understand the history of the conflict and learn both side, in the case

of the Bangsamoro conflict, read up on the history of the southern Philippines

from the very beginning. We know that the Bangsamoro struggle has been

labeled as one of the longest-running conflict in the world. Having this kind of

knowledge and clarity will not only bring to light certain misconceptions that
such a long running conflict can produce . It also can help us and inform

legislator and other stakeholders to better guide the conflict resolution

process.

Second read and follow the news and stay update because conflict

situations are not static phenomenons. They evolve, and the causes and

effect change over time. It is also important that we follow the news and read

the opinions of respected politicians, academics and other expert. Doing this

will not only keep us abreast of developments, but also help widen our

perspective. Third is discuss and then act., share our insights and learning to

friends and peers, correcting their misperceptions and helping them have a

more informed stand. The goal is two pronged to enable better understanding

of the issue at hand and increase the chance of finding concrete solution.

Fourth is join conferences, lectures and programs advocating peace and

cultural exchange. And lastly start a peace project of your own or join one.
