Sources of History on Gregoria De Jesus

1 What are the best information you gathered from the autobiography of GDJ and
Video-biography of GDJ?

- Reading GDJ’s autobiography mesmerized me, it was a short story on how she
became the “lakambini”, or the mother of the Katipunan, taking care of its members
and doing whatever she can to help them. In the autobiography I found out that the
Katipunan has wonderful rules and commandments when it comes to adultery and
karma - You should never do to others what you do not want done to you, to respect
others as to how you want to be respected; that is how you become a respectable man
in the country, otherwise suffer the appropriate punishments. In contrast to GDJ’s
video-biography, I was able to get some visual information on how she would hide
the Katipunan’s important documents and weapons - by either hiding them under her
bed or by riding a “kalesa” in the middle of the night with the things she needs to run
away with.

2 Compare and Contrast the autobiography with the Video-biography.

was translated and annotated by a summarization of the secondary

- Explains other details about GDJ - Does not explain other details about
outside of Katipunan, and GDJ outside of Katipunan, little
expounded on her story inside the information on how she was inside
Katipunan the Katipunan

- Contains other details about her life - Does not contain any further
as a wife and mother and remarriage information on her life as a wife and
to another man mother

4. Which is the Primary Source and Secondary or Tertiary Source between the
Autobiography and Video-biography?

- The Primary Source would be the original Spanish-written autobiography of Gregoria


De Jesus
- The Secondary Source will be the translated English-written autobiography of
Gregoria De Jesus by Professor Leandro H. Fernandez
- The Tertiary Source is the Video-biography made by students

5 Which of the two is more reliable and why?

- The autobiography, the secondary source, is more reliable than the video-biography.
The autobiography is more detailed and has more uniques insights than the
video-biography. Moreover, the writing contains a more explained point of view of
the biographer in her experience as a participant of an event. This secondary source
contains more insights and some annotations from the professor who translated the
autobiography; which makes it easier for readers to reach a conclusion or make the
source a basis or evidence on a topic they are researching. The video-biography is not
as reliable as the autobiography, as the video is too concise and contains inaccurate
visual details - materials used to represent some important details. The
video-biography is also incomplete and cannot be used as credible evidence.
