that were sought after but also their locations offered strategic points for harbors that the country can port their ships for resupply or stock up supplies for wartime. In Senator 's Alfred Beveridge speech at Congress, the Philippines would grant us a base of operations where we can easily trade with China. These places offered income and a convenient place that would secure future operations. In return for this great deal we suffered at the expense of the trust of the Filipino people and the humiliating rebuttals against annexation. The cons came in the form of insurrection in the Philippines and dissension in the US. The conflicts in the islands would delay progress for colonization and would cost a great amount of money to end. Emilio Aguinaldo 's criticism over the annexation mentions the cost of actions of the US. He reasons that the amount of American lives that will be taken by the climate alone and then to war is unnecessary. The…

SS014: Thinkpiece No. 2 JOSE RIZAL AND THE 1896 REVOLUTION Bicomong, Patricia Anne B. 2015101919 History tells us that Dr. Jose Rizal became the Philippine national hero as he fought for freedom using a pen as a sword. Rizal is well-known for his two novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Unlike other national heroes who fought aggressively and through violent means, Rizal believed that independence could be achieved peacefully. All Filipinos and even non-Filipinos who study the history…

I find it easier and more comfortable to be around the friends that I’ve made here in Thailand than those that I’ve made in the Philippines. I think it’s due to the fact that I grew up and spent more time with my friends here. (I. Amurao, personal communication, 10 December 2014) Paulo showed the opposite sentiments, however, when he said that he is still adjusting to making friends in Thailand, at the same time still feeling close to friends he had left behind in the Philippines. It was…

1. Did Rizal supported the 1896 Philippine Revolution of bonifacio? Why or why not? - I don’t think he did. If I were to tell based on what I understand in his point of view, he don’t want Filipinos to revolt yet, because he knew that this will not succeed. But on the other hand, I think that he supported it on his own ways. He wanted Filipinos to be free, one of the reason why he build the group “La liga Filipina, it’s because he wanted too, to revolt but I think he is still waiting for the…

Arriving to school at 7 in the morning is hard enough, but doing so on a Saturday for detention, is even tougher! Yet five students, from different walks of life do just this, in one of the most iconic movie of the ‘80s. Directed by John Hughes, The Breakfast Club, is a film that follows the events of five teenagers serving their time -and shenanigans- in detention, while lifelong friendships are made by the simple act of understanding and relation. In the opening of the movie, the teenagers…

churned out well-crafted high school comedies with such regularity that one might have assumed he had developed a secret formula for hit films.” In The Breakfast Club, John Hughes tested the bounds of comedy with “kids”. Similar to Ernst Lubitsch, he directed with an indescribable “touch” which altered aspects of dialogue, sound, setting, and mood to relate a subtle subtext. He opened with the introduction of five “stereotypes” and the song “Don’t You Forget about Me” to attract audiences into…

The Movie, “The Breakfast Club” by John Hughes and the short story “The Bicycle” written by Jillian Horton share many similarities in regards to, rebellion, living dreams through others, and characters throughout both stories. It’s important to discuss these two different stories because of the effect they can have on an influential person, regardless of being about two totally distinct stories from two very different times. In both “The Breakfast Club” and “The Bicycle” there is a strong…

Revolution existed, they were asked to join with his two other brothers. But because his brothers and him believed in gradual reform, they refused to join. This was because the Katipunan Revolution had different objectives compared to the gradual reform. General Luna was under Emilio Aguinaldo’s command; however, Emilio Aguinaldo was part of the Katipuneros. This was not a big threat for General Antonio Luna to resign his position under Emilio Aguinaldo. Even though this was not a threat for him…

or rather Anglo-Saxons are. He believes this path is the one that is going to come out on top and everyone should accept it regardless of what they believe in. Aguinaldo’s liberty is the well-known concept of freedom and independence. Strong’s liberty is the opposite of Aguinaldo’s which is the fallacy of liberty itself despite his intentions whatever they may be. In his book, Our Country (1885) Strong heavily believed that the Caucasian race was superior and because of that, he convinced other…

non-other than Emilio Aguinaldo. With this, people called him as the “brains of the revolution”. During the time of his service to Emilio Aguinaldo, Mabini wrote the outline of the constitution of the Philippine republic together with one of his greatest masterpiece entitled, “The True Decalogue”. These two documents contain the programs relevant to the revolutionary government being established by the revolutionary group of Aguinaldo in order to let the people, in Mabini’s words to “understand…
