Direction: Identify the tense of the bold and underlined verbs in the
short paragraph.
Datu Bangkaw, locally known by the Sogodnons as “Mangkaw”, led the 1622
Leyte revolt. The revolt centers on the intolerance of the Spanish friars. After
Legazpi’s landfall in Cebu on February 13, 1565 and obtaining a coalition with
Datu Urrao of Samar on February 22,1565, he had befriended the young
Bangkaw and became his ally. In return of Legazpi’s good deeds, he had
supplied the Spaniards with food and other resources. Bangkaw became a
convert to Catholicism and aided the Jesuits in propagating the faith to the
Leyteños. However, Bangkaw had renounced and returned to Paganism.
Because of this, the apostate got the ire of the padre cura (friar-curate) and
incited the Kalgaranons (eponym for the town folks of Carigara) to rise in arms
against the Spanish monarchy. Bangkaw’s short-lived revolt spread like wildfire
from Carigara to other parts of the province and had threatened the emerging
Catholic faith in Leyte. Eventually, the provincial governor of Cebu sent troops in
Carigara to suppress the insurgency. The Spanish army, with more than a
hundred Cebuano soldiers under Spanish officers, outnumbered Bangkaw’s
army.
