conclusions can be drawn (Guerrero, 1998)

man of peace above men of war.
2. Because Filipinos are lovers of freedom and justice, they
have given their worship to a man who gave up all comforts
and pleasures of peace for their sake.
3. Filipino's prize virtue more than victory, sacrifice above
success.

relationships, and take an active part in meeting these
needs. He was a hero considering that he served the
Filipino people by consciously articulating the
unconscious course of events.
