LEARNING OBJECTIVE
To familiarize oneself with the primary documents in
different historical periods of the Philippines.
To learn history through primary sources.
 To properly interpret primary sources through
examining the content and context of the document.
To understand the context behind each selected
document.
 RECAP
In the preceding chapter, we have
discussed the importance of
familiarizing oneself about the different
kinds of historical sources. The historian's
primary tool of understanding and
interpreting the past is the historical
sources. Historical sources as certain
historical facts. Such facts are then analyzed
and interpreted by the historian to weave
historical narrative. Specifically, historians
who study certain historical subjects and
events need to make use of various primary
sources in order to weave the narrative,
 Primary sources, as
discussed in the preceding
chapter, consist of
documents, memoir,
accounts, and other materials
that were produced at the
period of the event or subject
being studied.
 TWO KINDS OF CRITICISM

External criticism examines

the authenticity of the INTERNAL
document or the evidence CRITICISM examines
being used. This is important in the truthfulness of the
ensuring that the primary content of the evidence.
source is not fabricated.
 EXAMPLE
A historian would have to situate the document
in the period of its production,
or in the background of its authors.

In other words, it should be recognized that

facts are neither existing in a vacuum nor
produced from a blank slate.
These are products of the time and of the
people.

on the flanks, and the third in front. The
captain then divided his men in two bands.
Our musketeers and crossbow-men fired for
half an hour from a distance, but did nothing,
since the bullets and arrows, though they
passed through their shields made of thin
wood, and perhaps wounded their arms, yet
did not stop them.
 The captain shouted not to fire, but he was not
listened to. The islanders seeing that the shots of
our guns did them little or no harm would not
retire, but shouted more loudly, and springing
from one side to the other to avoid our shots, they
at the same time drew nearer to us, throwing
arrows, javelins, spears hardened in fire, stones
and even mud, so that we could hardly defend
ourselves. Some of them cast lances pointed with
iron at the captain-general."

overpowering him, several times he
turned round towards us to see if we
were all in safety, as though his obstinate
fight had no other object than to give an
opportunity for the retreat of his men."
 The king of Cebu who was baptized could
have sent help but Magellan instructed him
not to join the battle and stay in the balangay
so that he would see how they fought.

ANALSIS OF

PIGAFETTA,S

CHRONICLE
"The best storyteller is the
one who not only knows the
story BUT saw it."
 One of the most cited documents by historians
who wished to study the pre colonial Philippines.
 One of the earliest written accounts.
 Pigaffetta was seen as a credible source for a
period, which was prior unchronicled and
undocumented.
 Earliest detailed documentation.
 It was believed that Pigafetta's writing s account
fot the "purest" precolonial society.
 Pigafetta’s work is great impotance in study and
writing of Philippine history
 We should recognized certain biases
accompanying the author and his identity,
loyalties, and the circumstances that he was
in; and how it affected the text that he
produced.

 We need to understand that he was a

chronicler commissioned by the King of Spain
to accompany and document a voyage
intended to expand the Spanish empire. A
noble descent who came from a rich family in
Italy.
 These attributes influenced his narrative, his
selection of details to be included in the text,
his characterization of the people and of the
species that he encountered, and his
interpretation and retelling of the events.

 Being a scholar of cartography and

geography, Pigafetta was able to give details
on geography and climate of the places that
their voyage has reached
 Pigafetta's description to people was coming
from sixteenth century European perspective
 Pigaffetta regarded the indigenous belief
systems and way of life as inferior to
Christianity and of the Europeans.
 He always remarks on the nakedness of the
natives or how he was fascinated by their
exotic culture
 He emphasized the native's amazement and
illiteracy to the European artillery,
merchandise and other goods.ods
 He repeatedly mentioned the abundance of
spices like ginger, and of precious metals like
gold.
 When they saw the indigenous attires of the
natives, Pigafetta saw them as being naked
because from the European standpoint, they were
wearing fewer clothes.
 Pigafetta's perspective was too narrow to realize
that such attire was only appropriate to the
tropical climate of the islands
 The same for the materials that the native
used for their houses like palm and bamboo
that would let more air come through the
house and compensate for the hot climate in
the islands.
 We should understand that such observations
were rooted from the context of Pigafetta and
his era.
EUROPE
 Dominated by the Holy Roman Empire.
 Loyalty and purpose was the domination of
the Catholic Church all over the world.
 Other belief systems different from that of
Christianity were perceived to be
blasphemous and barbaric, even demonic.
 Sixteen century European economy was
mercantilist (system measures the wealth of
kingdom based on their accumulation of
bullions or precious metals like gold and
silver.
 That's why Pigafetta always mention the
abundance of gold in the islands as shown in his
description of leaders wearing gold rings and
golden daggers, and of the gold mines.
 An empire like Spain would indeed search for
new lands where they could acquire more gold
and wealth to be on top of all the European
nations.
 The obsession with spices might be odd for
Filipinos because of its ordinariness in the
Philippines, but understanding the context would
reveal that spices were scarce in Europe.
 Andrés Bonifacio Y de Castro

revolutionary leader. He is often called "The Father of the Philippine
Revolution",

ANDRES BONICIO
 It was Andres Bonifacio who first
formulated a code of conduct and to
whom the Dekalogo ng Katipunan was

Andres Bonifacio had only
ten points and dealt
primarily with one's duties
to God, country, family,
neighbor, the Katipunan
and himself. It spoke of
honor, charity and self-
sacrifice but warned of
penalty to the traitor and
disobedient.
 KARTILLA OF THE KATIPUNAN
THE FOURTEEN CODES OF CONDUCT

I. The life that is not consecrated to a lofty and reasonable

purpose is a tree without a shade, if not poisonous weed.

 Ang buhay na hindi ginugol sa isang matayog at

banal na layunin ay punong walang lilim, o kung
hindi man ay nakakalasong damo.
 ii.To do good for personal gain and not for its
own sake is not virtue.

Ang gawang magaling na may pagyayabang o

may paghahangad na makasarili ay hindi tunay
na kabaitan..
iii. It is rational to be charitable and love one's fellow
creature, and to adjust one's conduct, acts and
words to what is in itself reasonable.

Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang

gawa, ang pagibig sa kapua at ang isukat ang
bawat kilos, gawa't pangungusap sa talagang
Katuiran
iv.Whether our skin be black or white, we are all
born equal: superiority in knowledge, wealth. and
beauty are to be understood, but not superiority
by nature.

Maitim man at maputi ang kulay ng balat. lahat ng

tao'y magkakapantay; mangyayaring ang isa'y
higtan sa dunong, sa yaman, sa gand; ngunit di
mahihigan sa pagkatao
 v. The honorable man prefers honor to
personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to honor.

Ang may mataas na kalooban inuuna ang puri

sa pagpipita sa sarili; ang may hamak na
kalooban inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili sa
puri
vi.To the honorable man, his word is
sacred.

Sa taong may hiya, salita'y

panunumpa
vii.Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered
but not time lost.

Huwag mong sasayangin ang panahun; ang

yamang nawala'y magyayaring magbalik nguni't
panahong nagdaan na'y di na muli pang
magdadaan
 viii. Defend
the oppressed and fight the
oppressor before the law or in the field.

Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi, at kabakahin

ang umaapi
ix.The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful
in keeping secrets.

Ang taong matalino'y ang may pagiingat sa bawat

sasabihin, at matutong ipaglihim ang dapat
ipaglihim.
 x. On the thorny path of life, man is the guide of
woman and the children, and if the guide leads to
the precipice, those whom he guides will also go
there.

Sa daang matinik ng kabuhayan, lalaki ay siyang

patnugot ng asawa't mga anak, kung ang umaakay
ay tungo sa sama, ang patutunguhan ng iaakay ay
kasamaan din
xi. Thou must not look upon woman as a mere
plaything, but as a faithful companion who will
share with thee the penalties of life; her (physical)
weakness will increase thy interest in her and she
will remind thee of the mother who bore thee and
reared thee
Ang babai ay huwag mong tignang isang
bagay na libangan lamang, kundi isang
katuang at karamay sa mga kahirapan
nitong kabuhayan; gamitan mo ng buong
pagpipitagan ang kaniyang kahinaan, at
alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhata't nagiwi
sa iyong kasangulan
 xii.What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife,
children, brothers and sisters,that do not unto the wife,
children, brothers and sisters of thy neighbor.

kapatid, ay huag mong gagawin sa asawa, anak, at
kapatid ng iba.
xiii.Man is not worth more because he is a king,
because his nose is aquiline, and his color white,
not because he is a *priest, a servant of God, nor
because of the high prerogative that he enjoys
upon earth, but he is worth most who is a man of
proven and real value, who does good, keeps his
words, is worthy and honest; he who does not
oppress nor consent to being oppressed, he who
loves and cherishes his fatherland, though he be
born in the wilderness and know no tongue but his
own.

 Paglaganap ng mga aral na ito at maningning na
sumikat ang araw ng mahal na Kalayaan dito sa
kaabaabang Sangkalupuan, at sabugan ng matamis
niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang magkalahit
magkakapatid ng ligaya ng walang katapusan, ang
mga ginugol na buhay, pagud, at mga tiniis na
kahirapa'y labis nang natumbasan. Kung lahat ng

Analysis of katilya ng
katipunan
Context and analysis
 As a document written for a fraternity whose main
purpose is to overthrow a colonial regime, we can
explain the content and provisions of the Kartilya
as a reaction and response to certain values
systems that they found despicable in the present
state of things that they struggled against with.
 The fourth and thirteenth principles in the Kartilya
are a summon of the inalienable fairness between
and among men paying little respect to race,
occupation or status.

 With regards to the Spanish pilgrim time where

the indios were treated as the sub par of the white
Europeans, the Katipunan made sure that the
elective request that they wished to proclaim
through their unrest fundamentally obliterated this
sort of shameful chain of command
 Various provisions in the Kartilya repeatedly
emphasized the importance of the honor in words
and in action. In tenth rule, the document
specifically

 stated that men should be the guide of women

and children and that he should set of good
example, otherwise the women and the children
would be guided in the path of evil.
 Women should treated as companions by men
and not as playthings that can be exploited from
their pleasure.

 Not even in Europe or in the whole of the West at

that juncture recognized the problem of gender
equality. Indeed, it can be argued that Katipunan's
recognition of women as important partners in the
struggle, as reflected not just in Kartilya but in the
organizational structure of the fraternity where a
women's unit was established, is an endeavor
advanced for its time.
 The Kartilya was enlightening not simply of the Katipunan's
direct toward other individuals, yet in addition for the
individuals' advancement as a people in their own privileges.

 Generally speaking, the rules in the Kartilya can be classified

as either directed to how one should treat his neighbor or to
how one should develop and conduct one's self. Both are
essential to the success and fulfillment of the Katipunan's
ideals.

 Kartilya ng Katipunan was meant to guide us in living our

everyday life its fullest. More importantly, it highlights the
importance of having the right attitude towards other people.
