     Historical Background of the Text 
     Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, a lawyer and confidante of General
    Emilio Aguinaldo, was born in Bian, Laguna, on December 7, 1830.
    As a result, General Aguinaldo believed it was important to declare
    the Philippines' independence in order to motivate the people to
    fight the Spaniards more zealously. The act was modeled after the
    American Declaration of Independence, which was signed by 98
    people, including an American army officer who was present at the
    time. The statement was not recognized by the United States or
    Spain, because the Spanish government ceded the Philippines to
    the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris in exchange for an
    indemnity for lost Spanish expenses and assets. Other than the
    United States, no other foreign country acknowledged the
    Philippines' independence.

    the Philippines.

    D.C., - the speech takes 22 minutes and 52 seconds long and is composed of 32
    paragraphs with a 2,364 meaningful words. 
     audience of the speech was law makers of the United States since they are the one who
    needs to decide whether they will help the Philippines that time or not.
     President Cory Aquino’s first visit to America since the dictator Ferdinand Marcos had
    been removed in February of the same year and the Philippines was reckoning with
    everything his administration had inflicted. 
     This includes $26 billion in total foreign debt, and a communist insurgency that grew,
    throughout the Marcos era, from 500 armed guerrillas to 16,000 where resulted in
    President Aquino to lodge an appeal for help.

     Contribution and Relevance of the Document in Understanding the Grand
    Narrative of Philippine History

     Cause: revolution: had resolved to start a revolution in August 1896 in order to


    regain the independence and sovereignty of which the people had been deprived
    by Spain through Governor Miguel Lopez de Legazpi who, continuing the course
    followed by his predecessor Ferdinand Magellan
     Effect: The country became independent and democratic nation
     Cause: Dictatorship established by Don Emilio Aguinaldo whom we revere as the
    Supreme Head of this Nation, which today begins to have a life of its own
     Effect: Revolution

     Cause: The Spanish Colonization had led to several uprisings which were started
    by quasi-religious groups but they lacked sufficient coordination to end the
    Spanish administration. Until the 19th century, Filipinos were oppressed however,
    during this period, educated Filipino middle classes emerged and empowered the
    Philippine forces by both knowledge and physical strength. The Philippine
    Revolution then commenced and the Filipinos believed that they already had the
    power to establish their own governance under Emilio Aguinaldo thus, the
    proclamation of Philippine Independence. 
     Effect: The proclamation has served its purpose as a wake up call for Filipinos to
    zealously fight for its sovereignty. However, it was not acknowledged by either
    the US or Spain like what Aguinaldo had predicted. 
     The proclamation of independence is one of the most significant events in
    Philippine history. It was the key to our emancipation and liberation from long-
    term colonization by several nations. Filipino efforts and revolutions were
    rewarded, and the people of the country strived. This primary source's
    contribution and significance can be classified in three different ways.
     It depicts the experiences of Filipinos living under Spanish Imperialism. It
    demonstrates how they combat the terrible treatment of unwelcome
    immigrants.
     The Philippine Flag that is used since then and became symbolism for
    Philippine Independence. It conveys the true meaning of our national flag's
    colors and symbols. The Philippine flag is required because it is the
    country's most revered symbol. It symbolizes patriotism, love of country,
    and a sense of nationhood by depicting the Filipino people's ambitions.
     The third point to consider is Emilio Aguinaldo's government in the
    Philippines at the time. On June 12, 1898, he formally established his
    dictatorship while waving the Philippine flag in Kawit, Cavite. He was the
    first dictator in the country, not Ferdinand Marcos.

     Relevance of the Document to the Present Time
