t is not between the government and the governed, it is
about the colonized and the colonizers.
hange the “Ang dapat mabatid ng mga tagalog” to “Ang
dapat mabatid ng mga Pilipino”

11. •A given example was Andres Bonifacio, who was in
fact a plebeian ( blue collar) but was considered an
ilustrado based on his wisdom and ability to lead the
Katipunan members effectively.
•If the initial membership of the Katipunan is ilustrado,
it is difficult to perceive how it can be viewed as an
illustration of a “history from below”.
•The initial Katipunan membership was middle class or
even lower middle class, it illustrates a “history from
the middle”.

afflicted by their own entire nation
uring the spanish colonial government the tutelage and
friar are under it’s nation
agalogs are the most affected on national revolution
onifacio advocated on people’s suffering

14. uring the time of Bonifacio only one can safely
assume who can lived misery,exploitation and
suffering
eing a revolutionist you should provide
revolutionary framework, better and pursuasive
alternative to people’s misery
