II. Analysis. Read the work of MH del Pilar from “Dasalan at Tocsohan”. Write an
essay that will answer the questions below.
Guide questions for essay: What is the work about? Explain. If you were a reader of this
work during the Spanish period, what do you think will be your reaction to this work?
Explain why. How important is this work to Philippine history and the formation of the
Filipino nationalism? Explain.
The work is based on a parody of the Ten Commandments. Plaridel discusses how
we are taught to glorify the Spanish friars and priests rather than the Lord. Knowing
how deadly these individuals can be, I would be afraid for the author's life if I were
reading this during the Spanish time. But, privately, seeing a fellow Filipino fight for
me would make me proud as a Filipino. This effort has inspired and demonstrated to
Filipinos the need of uniting and fighting back. This also demonstrates how awful the
Spanish colony's reign was.
