    Provenance or origin of the said documents

    Emilio Jacinto wrote this unpublished essay during a crucial time in Philippine history – October 23,
    1895. At that time, the Philippines was under the control of Spanish colonizers, and people like Jacinto
    were passionate about freeing the country from their rule. That date is associated with the event known
    as the Cry of Pugad Lawin or "Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin:” which is considered as the symbolic beginning of
    the revolution, led by Andres Bonifacio, which aimed to achieve Philippine independence. On that day,
    members of the Katipunan tore their cedulas (residence certificates) in defiance of Spanish authorities,
    expressing their determination to fight for freedom. The Cry of Pugad Lawin eventually led to a series of
    uprisings and battles against Spanish forces, culminating in the Philippine Declaration of Independence
    on June 12, 1898. While we don't know exactly where Jacinto wrote the essay, it was probably in a secret
    place because of its revolutionary content.

    conveys in it is for the oppressed Filipino during the Spanish colonization. The essay calls out to all
    Filipino out there, for them to know that they must act if they want change to happen and freedom to be
    served. It relays a rallying call to encourage fellow Filipinos, particularly the Tagalogs, to awaken to the

    wrote, even though it was not officially published, conveyed a powerful message. He used his words to
    encourage Filipinos to unite against the Spanish rulers. He reminded them of the shared struggle for
    independence and the importance of standing up against oppression. The essay reflects his strong
    dedication to the nationalist movement and his belief that words could inspire people to work together
    for a free and independent Philippines.

    Important Historical event

    The essay was related to the late 1800s, an important period in Philippine history. Back then the Filipinos
    are already tired and angry of being treated unfairly by the Spaniards that rules their country. In those
    times Jacinto was a valuable piece in the Katipunan, that was being led by Andres Bonifacio, effort to
    overthrow the Spaniard rulers by providing concepts and strategies. The discovery of the group on
    August 23, 1896, is a started the revolution which in response, the essay was written urging Tagalog
    people to awaken, join the revolution, and fight for independence. The emotions of Filipinos who
    desired independence are reflected in Emilio Jacinto's writings. Knowing the essay's historical context
    makes it easier for us to understand the common goals and challenges faced by the Filipino people as
    they fought for independence at this time.
