Philippine is Dr. Jose Rizal. He was a great lover of his
country. He was born at Calamba, Laguna on June 19,1861. He
was the seventh of eleven children of Francisco Mercado Rizal
and Teodora Alonzo, a well-to-do and educated family. He is a

on December 30,1896 because he was shot by firing squad.

24. The Philippine Revolution
It began in 1896 and really ended only in 1901. At first, it was
a war of independence against the Spain. Later, it turned into
a war of independence against the United States, because
the American imperialists replaced the Spaniards. The first
part of revolution was a success because the Filipinos got
rid of the Spaniards. But it was a very bloody revolution.
Many lives were lost and many best heroes were killed
during the revolution. It lead by Andres Bonifacio together
with the katipuneros.
Causes of Revolution of 1986 were as follows:
1. The abuses of Spanish officials and priests;
2. Persecution of Filipino leaders who defended the rights of
their fellow countrymen;
3. Filipinos’ desire to regain their independence; and
4. Discovery of the Katipunan and Bonifacio’s call for
revolution.

25. HISTORICAL VALUES IN PHILIPPINE
REVOLUTION
•The Filipinos lost many battles and live because
the revolution was not really planned well. They
were only forced because of the discovery of the
Katipunan.
• Nothing can stop people who are determined to
fight for their freedom. Many Filipinos were
punished for their part in the revolution. But these
martyrs and heroes only made the other Filipinos
more willing to fight and even die for their cause.
• They rivalry between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo
caused the Filipinos to lose many battles and even
to fight among themselves. This lack of unity
prevented the victory against the Spaniards.
