Study Notes

Types of Historical Sources

Primary sources are created during the time of the events and include autobiographies, diaries, artifacts, and physical objects like clothing and films.
Secondary sources interpret primary sources and step away from the original events, such as criticisms, articles, and encyclopedias.
Internal criticism evaluates the credibility of the author, considering factors like the document's age, the author's purpose, and the origins of the document.

Steps in Historical Methodology

Historical Method involves examining and analyzing records of the past.
Historiography is the reconstruction of the past through the writing of history.
External criticism verifies a document's authenticity by scrutinizing the author’s background, comparing works, and identifying inconsistencies in handwriting.

Cavite Mutiny and Historical Events

The Cavite Mutiny lead to the execution of GOMBURZA: Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora.
Two versions of the Cavite Mutiny exist, a Spanish version by Jose Montero y Vidal and a Filipino version by Trinidad Pardo de Tavera, detailing the reasons behind the revolt.
The Tejeros Convention is recognized as the first election in the Philippines and aimed to defend Cavite, though it ended with Andres Bonifacio voiding its results.

The Spanish Expedition and Initial Encounters

Ferdinand Magellan led the first voyage around the world, sponsored by Spain, arriving in the Philippines in 1521 and naming it Archipelago de San Lazaro.
The expedition provided significant geographical knowledge and documented early Filipino resistance against foreign rule, particularly at the battle of Mactan against Lapu-Lapu.

The Customs of the Tagalogs, written by Juan de Plasencia, provides insight into the cultural, religious, and social practices of pre-Hispanic Filipinos.
It emphasizes respect for women and family, generosity, compassion, and good governance.
Social classes included Maharlika (freemen), Aliping Namamahay (servants with properties), and Aliping Saguiguilir (slaves).

Reform Movements and Notable Figures

Marcelo del Pilar, a reformist, outlined social customs in his work "Dasalan at Tocsohan".
The Kartilya ng Katipunan, written by Emilio Jacinto, served as a guidebook for Katipuneros and critiqued the power held by friars, known as frailocracy.

Objectives of the Katipunan

The Katipunan, founded by Andres Bonifacio, aimed for political separation from Spain, moral improvement, and the establishment of good governance.
Jose Rizal, a prominent reformist, founded La Liga Filipina, advocating for peaceful reform in contrast to Bonifacio's revolutionary methods.
