    READING THE

    “PROCLAMATION
    OF THE PHILIPPINE
    INDEPENDENCE”
    • Every year, the country commemorates the anniversary
    of the Philippine Independence proclaimed on June 12
    1898, in the province of Cavite.

    • Indeed, such event is a significant turning point in the


    history of the country because it signaled the end of
    the 333 years of Spanish colonization.
    READING THE “PROCLAMATION OF THE PHILIPPINE
    INDEPENDENCE”
    • The declration was a short 2,000
    word document, which
    summarized the reason behind
    the revolution against Spain, the
    war for independence, and the
    future of the new republic under
    Emilio Aguinaldo.
    HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROCLAMATION SPEECH INCLUDE:

    1. A characterized of the conditions in the Phippines during the Spanish Colonial


    period. The document specially mentioned abuses and inequalities in the
    colony.

    2. A brief historical overview of the Spanish occupation since Magellan’s arrival


    in Visayas until the Philippine Revolution, with specific details about the
    letter, especially after the Pact of Biank- na- Bato had collapsed.

    3. The mention of Rizal’s execution, calling it unjust.


    4. The Cavite Matuny of January 1872 that caused the infamous
    execution of the martryed native priests Jose Burgos, Mariano
    Gomez, and Jacinto Zamora. “ whose innocent blood was shed
    through the intrigues of those so- called religious orders” that
    cited the three secular priests in the said mutiny.

    5. The established republic would be led under the dictatorship


    of Emilio Aguinaldo.

    6. its explanation on the Philippine flag that was first waved on


    the same day
    ANALYSIS OF THE “ PROCLAMATION OF THE
    PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE”
    • As mentioned earlier, a re-examination of the document on the
    declaration of independence can reveal some often overlooked
    historical truths about this important event in Philippine history

    1. The document reflects the general revolutionary sentiment of that


    period.
    2. The proclamation also gives us the impression on how the victorious
    revolutionary government of Aguinaldo historized the struggle for
    independence.
    ANALYSIS OF THE “ PROCLAMATION OF THE
    PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE”
    3. There were mentions of past events that were seen as important turning
    points of the movement against Spain.

    4. However, the Katipunan as the pioneer of the revolutionary movement


    was only mentioned once toward the end of the document. There was no
    mention of the Katipunan’s foundation. Bonifacio and his co-founders were
    also left out. The enmity between Aguinaldo’s Magdaloc and Bonifacio’s in
    the Katipunan is no secret in the pages of our history.
    ANALYSIS OF THE “ PROCLAMATION OF THE
    PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE”
    5. The point is, even official records and documents like the proclamation
    of independence, while truthful most of the time, still exude the politics
    and biases of whoever is in power.

    • This manifests in the selectiveness of information that can be


    found in these record.

    • lt is the tasks of the historian, thus, to analyze the content of


    these documents in relation to the dominant politics and the
    contexts of people and institutions surrounding it.
    ANALYSIS OF THE “ PROCLAMATION OF THE
    PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE”

    • This tells us lesson on taking primary sources like official


    government records within the circumstances of this production.

    • Studying one historical subject, thus, entails looking multiple


    primary sources and pieces of historical evidences in order to
    have a more nuanced and contextual analysis of our past.
