    “History provides us a sense of our own identity”, these statement

    left a significant mark on me throughout the duration of this course.


    Studying Philippine History is important because you have to understand
    and know the things that happened in the past for you to appreciate the
    future and present situation of our country. The Philippines has a rich
    history beginning from its earliest days. Philippine history is rich in heritage
    and culture combining Asian, European and American influences. A period
    of Spanish colonization spanning three centuries then made an indelible
    impression on the country. This mercurial era, along with the American
    occupation, played a vital role in shaping the Philippines and its people.
    But is the Philippines truly independent?
    Antonio Pigafetta, the assistant of Magellan kept a journal that
    became the primary source of information on the first meeting between
    Spaniards and Filipinos (Torres, 2018). The Spaniards, headed by
    Ferdinand Magellan, were the first Europeans to arrive in the Philippines.
    He claimed the islands for Spain on March 16, 1521. It was not easy for
    the Spaniards to conquer and build a government in the Philippines
    because the native Filipinos fought for their rights, freedom, and dignity.
    Fray Juan de Plasencia (Joan de Portocarrero, real name) was a member
    of the Franciscan Order who came together with the first batch of
    missionaries to the Philippine in 1578. His constant encounters with the
    people he converted to Christianity prompted him to write Relacion de las
    Costumbres de Los Tagalogs (Customs of the Tagalogs, 1589) where he
    vividly portrayed the Filipinos' political, social, economic, and cultural
    traditions prior to their conversion to Christianity.
    During the colonialism of the Philippines, the Filipinos lost their
    freedom and were abused by the Spaniards. The Filipinos became slave
    of the Spaniards for a very long time. The first move towards
    independence began on July 7, 1892 when the Katipunan was established
    by Andres Bonifacio. The Kataastaasang Kagalang-galangngang
    Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or KKK was a revolutionary society that
    advocated for the Philippines' independence and freedom through the use
    of force. Its goal was to separate the Philippines from Spain while also
    allowing Filipinos to flourish as citizens of their own country after
    independence was attained. Kartilya a text of Katipunan’s Code of
    Conduct written by Emilio Jacinto. It was created not just the rules for the
    organization's members, but also the principles for people of a country
    once independence was gained.
    The first phase of the Philippine Revolution ended in a stalemate
    between the Spaniards and the Filipino rebels. In December 1897, a truce
    was declared between the two forces with the Filipino leaders, led by Gen.
    Emilio Aguinaldo. he truce, however, lasted for only a few months before it
    collapsed. By the help of our great men and some Americans, the
    Philippines became free from the hands of the Spanish. On June 12,
    1898, Aguinaldo declared Philippine Independence from Spanish rule at
    ceremony in his house in Kawit, Cavite. And this is the end of the Spanish
    regime. The United Stated had a different approach in colonizing the
    Philippines. The Americans considered educating the Filipinos as one of
    their top priorities in the Philippines. They treated Filipinos like their
    friends. The 1935 Constitution and the Commonwealth Government was a
    transition government before the granting of the Philippine independence
    with American-inspired constitution; the Philippine government would
    eventually pattern its government system after American government. The
    Commonwealth Government was interrupted by the Second World War
    and the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. After the end of the war,
    the United States and the Philippines signed the Treaty of Manila on July
    4, 1946; Manuel Roxas transitioned from the President of the
    Commonwealth of the Philippines to first President of an independent
    Philippine Republic.
    Despite the fact that the term "independent" implies a Philippines free of
    foreign rule, many modern narratives of Filipino identity, citizenship, and
    statehood are inextricably shaped by the colonial history and, some argue,
    the continuing undue influence of other countries. The political, social, and
    economic elites of the country, for example, are often members of the
    same families that have held power in the country for generations. as in
    the aftermath of Spanish and United States colonialism, Filipinos still
    struggle with defining a national identity after such widespread traumas.
    Other current issues for the Philippine state include resolving a territorial
    dispute with the People's Republic of China over areas of the South China
    Sea, as well as allowing the United States troops to return to the islands.
    understanding today’s Republic of the Philippines means studying the
    historical roots of power and influences born from the imposition of
    colonial structures.
