Conclusion: During the arrival of the Spaniards in our country, the country is divided administratively into several dozen provinces, which are grouped into a number of larger regions. And each Cities, municipalities, and barangays all have elected officials just like now in our present government. Taxes and wages were also very different from Spanish period compared to present. Furthermore, in our present government, rules and policies benefit more people than the policies that existed during the Spanish regime. SELF-ASSESSMENT TASK 2 1. Discuss the teachings of the KKK. Point out some teachings that you find useful and helpful in your daily life. Kartilya ng Katipunan served as the commandments of the members of the Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan, also known as Katipunan or KKK. The Kartilya ng Katipunan served as the guidebook for new members of the organization, which laid out the group's rules and principles. The first edition of the Kartilya was written by Emilio Jacinto. There are 12 teachings of Katipunan but among the 12, but I find these two teachings useful in our daily life. “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.” And “Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost.” The first one talk about equality. Equality is important in our daily life to live in a fair and equal society. Equality brings confidence to an individual, productivity to their respective works and makes people more sociable. We are all born to be equal no matter what race, status, and educational background we have. Our society may have divided us into groups, but we must all understand that no one is a superior of anyone. Next teaching is Everyone must understand the importance of time. We usually focus ourselves on worrying from different material things. This code of conduct tells us to treasure time because we can never take it back. At the end we might end up having regrets for the things we were not able to do. We must use of our time wisely.

Reform Movement The Katipunan Movement Assimilation of Philippines as province of Revolution Spain To expose the evils of Spanish colonization To separate the Philippines from Spain Assimilation Frightened the Spanish, the authorities arrested or exiled some 4000 rebels Failed. Spain was too preoccupied. Friars Spain lost and ceded. Sovereignty of the were too powerful and lack of funds. Philippines to the United States Propagandists were divided

Conclusion: During the reform movement, its aim was to depict the wrongful doings of the Spaniards, mainly the abuses of the friars and guardian civil during the Spanish colonialism. The failure of the reform movement was already evident when Rizal was arrested and exile to Dapitan in 1892. Thus, the Katipunan was founded on a revolutionary platform under the leadership of Bonifacio, to secure the independence and freedom of the Philippines. Self-assessment 3 Construct a data chart showing the nature, extent, and implications of Filipino participation in American colonialism in the Philippines. Filipino Groups 1. The Elite Filipinos

2. Cultural Communities (Indigenous groups in Mindanao and Cordillera)

Nature of Participation in American Colonialism The elite Filipinos adopted the American’s school system with the goal of educating and civilizing themselves.

Cultural communities’ collaboration

Extent of Participation in American Colonialism Elite Filipinos believed in the sovereignty of the U.S. over the Philippines. Hence, American’s will preserve the security of their privileges as there was a growing demand from the masses for the redistribution of economic benefits and resources. Americans denoted treaties and agreements and negotiated with the Muslim leaders. On the other hand, the appointed mayors and cabecillos were the Cordillerans.

Implications (Effects or Consequences) Elite Filipinos were assured of the protection to their wealth, power, and prestige by merging with the Americans.

Their perception of the American way of living stimulated the successful Americanization of their culture.

Conclusion: The American colonization was less violent compared to the Spanish era. Americans gained the support of most Filipinos easily because they promise us that we will seek a true independence. Moreover, filipinization in government was more suitable to the Americans since it was an aid rather than a hindrance to

colonialism. In addition, even though Americans and Spaniards have different motives, both have contributed greatly in improving our political system and education system. SELF-ASSESSMENT 4 a.
