MIDTERM EXAM MARY ROSE B.

OGAYON BSCE-1B

Answer the following briefly and submit on time allotted:


1. How important is the gathering of fossils or artifacts in proving the existence of life?
The gathering of fossils or artifacts is important because it provides evidence and a record for research that there is
an actual existence of life. The fossils were used to learn about species' existence and historical relationships, as well
as to comprehend geological change and proof or basis for history. The discovered fossils are the remnants of earlier
creatures who were utilized to uncover the past
2. What is the significance of the first mass in relation to the history of the Philippines and how did it affect the
country in general?
The first mass is a significant event in Philippine history specifically in Philippine Christianity's history because it
marked the birth of Roman Catholicism in the Philippines. Over the years, Filipinos have assimilated Catholicism
given the extent to which it influences everyday Filipino life and has become a cultural attribute.
3. Between the theories about the Filipino people, which do you think is more acceptable: Beyer’s Wave of Migration
or Jocano’s Core population Theory?
Since it was stated that there is no definite evidence, archaeological or historical, to support Beyer's Wave of
Migration theory, I prefer Jocano's Core Population Theory over Beyer's Wave of Migration. The discovery of a
skullcap and a piece of a jaw in the Tabon Caves of Palawan, which are thought to be of human origin, proves
Jocano argues that man arrived in the Philippines before the Malay Peninsula, thus the earliest people of our
islands could not have originated there. According to him, the only thing that can be established with certainty
from fossil evidence is that the earliest men who arrived in the Philippines also travelled to New Guinea, Java,
Borneo, and Australia which disputes Beyer’s belief that Filipinos descended from Negritoes and Malays who migrated
to the Philippines thousands of years ago.
4. Why is the KKK considered the most important organization in the Philippine history?
The KKK is considered the most important organization in the Philippines because this organization fights the
independence of the Filipinos from Spain.
5. Is the declaration of Philippine Independence of Aguinaldo effective in achieving the sovereignty of our country?
Since the Spanish sovereignty over the Philippines passed from Spain to the United States in 1898, thus,
Aguinaldo's proclamation of Philippine Independence did not disintegrate it.
6. What is the impact of the Malolos Constitution to the Filipino people?
The Malolos Constitution provides the Filipino people with a democratic, republican government that protects them
against abuses and enumerates their national and individual rights.
7. Who is Leonard Wood and what role did he play in the Phil. History?
Leonard Wood was a medical officer who served as the US Army's chief of staff and the Philippine Islands' governor-
general from 1921 to 1927. In the Philippines, he was assigned to a special mission. The mission stated that
granting the islands instant independence would be premature and that the US government should not be placed in
a position of responsibility without authority. Wood was then named governor-general of the Philippines, a position
he maintained until 1927 when he was compelled to retire due to sickness.
8. How did Rizal get involved in Emilio Aguinaldo’s “Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan”?
Rizal was get involved in Aguinaldo’s “Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan” since Aguinaldo and Bonifacio plans to rescue Rizal
since Rizal was being sentenced to death by firing squad because he was accused of being associated with the secret
militant society which is the revolutionary society or KKK wherein this revolutionary society made the Philippine
Revolution successfully which is under Aguinaldo and Alvarez. However, the plan was not carried out since Don
Paciano Rizal oppose it. He said that he wanted to avoid more bloodshed and reiterated that not a single member
of the Katipunan is still in Manila
9. Why does “The Voyage of Magellan in the Philippines by Pigafetta” considered as a primary source?
Pigafetta was Magellan's assistant during the journey, thus his book is considered a primary source because he made
his own notes at the time and gathered the facts and experiences himself.
10. What is the difference between history and historiography?
The study of history is the study of an event or a time. The study of how history was written, who wrote it, and
what circumstances impacted the way it was written is known as historiography.
11. What is the significance in the current generation of knowing the real story behind the retraction of Riza? Is he still
deserved the title of being our National Hero?
Knowing the real story behind the retraction of Rizal can help resolve the debate or controversy about his becoming
the national hero. However, whether he retracts or not, this will not deny the fact that he fought for the
Filipinos and he even died for the Filipinos. Thus, for me, he is still considered a hero in our country.
12. Cite some purpose of Cory Aquino’s speech toward the Filipino people and what were the factors that influenced
her to do so?
In Cory’s speech, her husband, Ninoy is the one who inspires her to stand with the Filipino people. Ninoy’s life
under the dictator’s presidency is the most mentioned in her speech and how they face all the sufferings that the
dictator gave to them. This kind of speech is her strategy to describe how the Filipinos live under the dictator
presidency. Thus, her speech enlightens the Filipino people that they are now free of dictators and democracy to
arise. With the help of America that also helps them breathe despite being choked by the dictator, America will
also help Filipinos to start over again and build a new home of democracy in our country.
13. How did the Political Caricature play a significant role for the Filipino in times of oppressions by the Americans?
Editorial criticism of politics, politicians and current events is conveyed through political caricature. It is a distinct
kind of political discourse in a culture that values freedom of expression and the press. This is the way of Filipinos
to voice out how Americans control and oppress Filipinos by manipulating their mind and psyche through seemingly
innocuous American objects.
14. How does the Cavite Mutiny influenced the Phil. History and what are the significant changes it provides in the past?
Cavite Mutiny, a short rebellion of 200 Filipino troops and laborers at the Cavite arsenal on January 20, 1872,
served as a pretext for Spanish suppression of the fledgling Philippine nationalist movement. Ironically, the Spanish
government’s severe retaliation eventually aided the nationalist cause. The mutiny was soon put down, but the
Spanish administration, led by conservative governor Rafael de Izquierdo, exaggerated the episode and used it as a
reason to crack down on Filipinos who were asking for change. Several Filipino intellectuals were detained and charged
with collaborating with the mutineers. After a brief trial, three priests—José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano
Gómez—were publicly executed. The three subsequently became martyrs to the cause of Philippine independence.

- believes in the immortality of the soul and life after death
- believes in ritual healing or faith healer
