Discussion
In the Philippines, today, we are lacking in patriot largely due to the
diffusion of Filipino values, culture, influence of conquistadores, and the
continence of historical bad governance.
For as long as our political leaders' blind us of these things, for as long
as the Filipino people refuse to learn, for as long as we remain mediocre,
for as long we could not change our self inwardly, for as long as we
refuse to change, nationalism and patriotism will only be words in the
dictionary (Eteetera, September 2010).
We need of statesmen who truly understand the basics of politics-
politics being defined as the systematic study of the state
Four Basic Elements of State

• Territory (the Philippine archipelago, its waters, subterranean
shelves, etc.),
• People (the Filipino people who are nationalistic and patriotic),
• Sovereignty (freedom from foreign dictates),
• and Government (a body politic composed of delegates who are
considered to be representatives of the people to stand and fight
for Filipino interests, dreams, aspirations, and hopes).
In the Philippines, if we trace the beginning of this nationalistic spirit we
could say that it started way back in the year the first Spaniard set foot
on the land (March 1521), history had presented us how Lapu-Lapu, one
of the early chieftains in the island who had fought the Spaniards to
defend and safeguard his own people and land.
On February 17, 1872, three priests—Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos,
and Jacinto Zamora—were killed in Bagumbayan on charges of leading
a mutiny of arsenal workers in Cavite with the aim of overthrowing the
colonial government.
The revolution that broke out in August 1896 has the spirit of nationalism
in every aspect of its goal and action It is considered the climax of the
nationalist movements in the Philippines during the Spanish occupation
of almost four hundred years of tyrannical rule.
• The 12th of June of every year since 1898 is a very important
event for all the Filipinos.
When the Philippines was ceded or sold by Spain to the United States
as a result of the Spanish-American War, the feeling of nationalism did
not die, in fact, the condition became stronger. Thus, another revolution
broke out, Filipinos against the Americans and became known in history
as the Filipino-American War that lasted longer than the Spanish-
American War.
As what history had recorded, 1901 Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, President of
the Philippine revolutionary government was captured in Palanan,
Isabela.
The revolution has ended and American ruled the country almost half a
century.
During this period, Nationalistic topics were almost always the subject of
the periods most popular leaders and journalist like TEODORO KALAW,
who created a controversy when he wrote the editorial of El
Renacimiento, titled Aves de Rapia (Birds of Prey).
Prof. Teadoro A. Agoncilio, noted Filipino historian, considered the
controversy as a height of nationalism during the First decade of
American rule.
Tydings – Mcduffie Law on March 24 1934 was approved by help of our
Filipino Leaders, Osmena, Roxas and Quezon, an act granting the
Philippines and independence, after a period of 10 years transition. The
act was passed by the congress of the United State of America.
After a year, exactly November 15, 1935, the Commonwealth of the
Philippines was inaugurated with Manuel L. Quezon as the President,
although it was Semi- Independent but Filipinos has the full controlled of
the Government Machinery.
On the sixth year of the Philippines Commonwealth government the war
in the Pacific broke out and Manila was occupied by the Japanese on
January 2, 1942. They Stayed for 3 years and the country suffered
hunger and brutal treatment.
Japanese occupied the Philippines for the purpose to provide base
attack on the Dutch East indies but failed because of the guerilla that
holds 60% of the land and with the help of the American.
Signing of Military Bases Agreement and Military Assistance Pact on
March 14, 1947 and Mutual Defense Treaty was concluded between the
Philippines and the United State.
Senator Claro M. Recto noted nationalist, patriot, jurist and a stateman.
He criticized the American policy of making Philippine independence a
JOKE and Philippine policy of accepting American imposition without
protest
In February 1967, the Movement for the Advancement nationalism
(MAN) was founded. The Spirit of nationalism was clearly written in the
principles and objectives of the organization
 National self- determination and self- reliance in all aspect of our
national life
 Democratic power of the people
 Nationalistic industrialization and basic agrarian reform as a
necessary correlative
 National dignity, cultural identity and Filipino oriented education
