this organization was formed against the Spaniards who are abusing our rights, many have sacrificed their lives but this has also been the way to strengthen what they are fighting for
Rizal Chapter 22: Exile in Dapitan (Gregorio F. Zaide)Arvin Garing
Rizal lived in exile in far-away Dapitan, a remote town in Mindanao, which was under the missionary jurisdiction of the Jesuits, from 1892 to 1896. This four-year interregnum in his life was tediously unexciting, but was abundantly fruitful with varied achievements. He practices medicine, pursued scientific studies, continued his artistic and literary works, widened his knowledge of languages, established a school of boys, promoted community development projects, invented a wooden machine for making bricks, and engaged in farming and commerce. Despite his multifarious activities, he kept an extensive correspondence with his family, relatives, fellow reformists, and eminent scientists and scholars of Europe, including Blumentritt. Reinhold Rost, A.B. Meyer, W. Joest of Berlin, S. Knuttle of Stuttgart, and N.M. Keight of Prague.
Beginning of Exile in Dapitan. The steamer Cebu which brought Rizal to Dapitan carried a letter from Father Pablo Pastells, Superior of the Jesuit Society in the Philippines, to Father Antonio Obach, Jesuit parish priest of Dapitan. In this letter, Father Superior Pastells informed Father Obach that Rizal could live at the parish convent on the following conditions:
1. "That Rizal publicly retract his errors concerning religion, and make statements that were clearly pro-Spanish and against revolution.
2. "That he perform the church rites and make a general confession of his past life.
3. "That henceforth he conduct himself in an exemplary manner as a Spanish subject and a man of religion."
Rizal did not agree with these conditions. Consequently, he lived in the house of the commandant, Captain Carnicero. The relations between Carnicero (the warden) and Rizal (the prisoner) were warm and friendly.
House of Captain Carnicero.jpg) the house Rizal used to live.
Carnicero was charmed by Rizal's fine qualities and personality. They ate together at the same table and had many friendly conversations. Carnicero came to know that Rizal was not a common felon, much less a filibustero. He gave good reports on his prisoner to Governor Despujol. He gave him complete freedom to go anywhere, reporting only once a week at his office, and permitted Rizal, who was a good equestrian, to ride his chestnut horse.
Wins in Manila Lottery. On September 21, 1892, the sleepy town of Dapitan burst in hectic excitement. The mail boat Butuan was approaching the town, with colored pennants flying in the sea breezes. Captain Carnicero, thinking that a high Spanish official was coming, hastily dressed in gala uniform, ordered the town folks to gather at the shore, and himself rushed there, bringing a brass band.
The mail boat, Butuan, brought no Spanish officials but the happy tidings that the Lottery Ticket No. 9736 jointly owned by Captain Carnicero, Dr. Rizal, and Francisco Equilor (Spanish resident of Dipolog, a neighboring town of Dapitan) won the second prize of P20, 000 in the government-owned Manila Lottery.

Why Study Rizal: From The Perspective of Lawmakers
Many Filipinos observed that the sense of Filipino identity was waning. Hmmmm. In response, nationalist policy-makers took action to redirect the nation back to its roots by emphasizing the importance of history as a foundation for national hope and pride.
On April 3, 1956, Senator Claro M. Recto proposed Senate Bill No. 438 and submitted it to the Senate Committee on Education.
“NOLI-FILI BILL”
Senate Bill No. 438, titled "An Act to Make Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo Compulsory Reading Matter in All Public and Private Colleges and Universities and For other Purposes,”
On April 17, 1956, Senator Jose P. Laurel, Sr., who was then the Chairman of the Committee on Education, sponsored the Noli-Fili Bill in the senate and presented it to the Upper House.
“Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo must be read by all Filipinos. They must be taken to heart, for in their pages we see ourselves as a mirror, our defects as well as our strength, our virtues as well as our vices. Only then would we become conscious as a people, and so learn to prepare ourselves for painful sacrifices that ultimately lead to self-reliance, self-respect and freedom.”
The Noli-Fili bill sounds good, right?
NO.
The Catholic Church's Opposition to the Noli-Fili Bill
According to them, the bill was an attempt to discredit the Catholic religion. Since Jose Rizal criticized the Catholic Church, the Noli-Fili bill was met with stiff opposition from the latter’s head and supporters.
According to them, the bill was an attempt to discredit the Catholic religion. Father Jesus Cavanna argued that Jose Rizal’ novels from the past should not be taught in schools because they do not accurately depict current conditions and may give a false impression of the country.
Here are some additional criticisms of the Catholic Church regarding the Noli-Fili Bill:
Among the 333 pages of Noli Me Tangere, only 25 passages are nationalistic while 120 passages are anti-Catholic. 170 lines from Noli Me Tangere and 50 lines in El Filibusterismo were offensive to the Catholic doctrine. The bill might divide the nation. Compulsion to read something against one’s faith impairs freedom of speech and religious freedom. Rizal admitted that he did not only attack the friars who acted deceptively on the Filipinos but also the Catholic faith itsel

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The katipunan
1. 4. The Nation and National History : The Katipunan
Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez
Jaena, Mariano Ponce,
2. The Filipinos in Spain headed by Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Jose Rizal, Graciano
Lopez Jaena, Mariano Ponce, and others desired for reforms in the
Philippines, Thus they organized the propaganda movement. However, the
Differences between Del Pilar and Jose Rizal made the organization weaker,
Despite the efforts exerted by Del Pilar to keep the movement active. This
was aggravated by the problem of lack of Funds which caused the death of
La solidaridad, the mouthpiece of the propaganda.
3. Meanwhile the “Anak ng bayan” in the archipelago
started to strengthen themselves into a solid group
to put an end to the Abuses colonizers. When Rizal
returned to the Philippines, he Organized the La
Liga Filipina on July 3, 1892.
4. The Following objectives were cited by Rizal: Unite the entire Archepilago into a compact
and homogenous body; protection for all; defense against abuses and injustice.
The objectives of the La Liga placed strong emphasis on the importance of Education,
agriculture, industry and justice for all, the reason why there was a strong link between
the La Liga and the Founders of the Katipunan.
When Rizal was arrested and Deported on July 6, 1892, The Kataastaasang, Kagalang
galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng bayan was formally organized.
5. It could awaken the minds of the people for them to rise and fight the colonizers. It could
be the means in which natives, the ilustrados, the mestizos and the Spaniards born in the
Philippines who were also subjected to unfair treatment and injustice, could join united
to fight the colonizers. Bonifacio They joined forces to ask for reforms, Bonifacio were the
original members of the La Liga.
6. When Rizal organized the Liga, he was already of the belief that the Philippines would
be separated from Spain. He was not keen on the use of Revolution as a means to
separate from Spain but he believed that it could happen.
Rizal, served as the inspiration of the educated Filipinos, He was as well accepted by
the “Anak ng bayan” as their messiah who like Jesus Christ, Redeemed the people
from sin in order to obtain life that was free from physical and emotional abuses.
7. Elected officers of the Liga were, Ambrocio Salvador, President, Agustin de la Roza, fiscal,
Bonifacio Arevalo, treasurer, and Deodato Arellano,
secretary, The Organization of the Liga was made more significant by the presence of
Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Isidro Francisco, Juan Zulueta and Timoteo Pelaez.
In accepting Members, the Katipunan used ritual and symbols,. Showed the importance it
gave popular traditions. In initiating the members, they were blindfolded, brought into
dark area where their determination and courage would be put to a test.
8. 5. Katipunan as Political Organization
The Katipunan as a national organization was born, grew, and supported by the people. It
mirrored the point of view, aspirations and experiences of those who brought themselves
into the organization.
The Katipunan was the result of the collective aspiration of the people and was not the
vehicle which united them. It could not be denied that the Katipunan was the pillar of the
aspirations and sentiments of the people.
9. Ileto (1979) looked at the Katipunan (1979), as a combined religious and political
organization. As stated earlier, the organization was born and grew from the people.
As a political organization, the objectives and direction of the Katipunan could be considered
national. According to Teodoro Kalaw, the aim of the Katipunan was to awaken a national
sentiment to deliver the Filipino race from the abuses of Spain. Even Emilio Jacinto believed
that the aim of the Katipunan was for the entire archipelago, stating that the Tagalog language
referred to all natives of the archipelago.
10. From the point of view of Isabelo de los Reyes, Katipunan had three different but
interconnected objectives – Political, Social and Moral.
The Katipunan was founded to be free from the Spaniards through a revolution. It was clear
that Bonifacio wanted to form a government that would take care of the people after Spain
was toppled down.
11. The Katipunan was national as shown in the structure of the government Bonifacio formed,
which was divided into three – the Supreme Council (Kataas-taasang Sanggunian) Headed
by a President/Supremo with officials like fiscal, secretary, and secretary of the treasury ;
Sangguniang Bayan ; and Sangguniang Balangay ;
Comparing this structure to the present structure of government, The Supreme Council
is the National Government, the Sangguniang Bayan is the provincial government and
the Sangguniang balangay, the Municipal Government.
12. Comparing this structure to the present structure of government, The Supreme Council is
the National Government, the Sangguniang Bayan is the provincial government and the
Sangguniang balangay, the Municipal Government.
Francisco del Castillo and Candido Iban were from Kalibo, Capiz in the Visayas.
These two members of the Katipunan provided the money used in the purchase of
machine for the printing of the Kalayaan, The organ of the association.
13. Before the outbreak of the 1896 revolution, the supreme Council of the Katipunan
had its election which would compose the Katipunan government. Elected were ;
Andres Bonifacio, Supremo ; Emilio Jacinto ; State Secretary ; Teodoro Plata, Secretary
of Justice ; Aguedo del Rosario, Secretary of the interior, And Enrique Pacheco,
Secretary of Finance.
The La Illustration Espanola Americana Published on February 8, 1897, Recognized the
national status of the Katipunan. In the issue the Katipunan government was referred as
the Republika ng Katagalugan. Its also had Bonifacio’s picture which labelled as Titulado
Presidente de la Republica Tagala.
14. 6. Analysis of the Kartilya as a Historical Source : The Kartilya as Stream of Historical
Knowledge
As already discussed, the Katipunan is an organization that sprout from the people and
pushed for the genuine welfare of their rank. It represented the collective sentiments of
the people, their advocacy, grievance and consciousness.
The Kartilya emanates from the collective experience of the people and served as norms
that must be followed by the members. The Kartilya served as a social glue that bound
the anak ng bayan to resist colonial oppression. As members of the Katipunan, everyone
was expected to act always for the common good for Inang Bayan.
15. It Is also good to note that this policy was a direct challenge to the growing number of
Filipino middle class to make a clear stand and contribute to the betterment of the country
and the people. On the other hand, this was a direct insult to those Filipinos who had the
money and resources to share but still chose not to be involved with the movement either
directly or even as a mere supporter only.
Rule number two of the Kartilya emphasized the importance of doing good things
without expecting anything in return. Members of the Katipunan were expected to treat
all people fairly not considering whatever ethnic group they belong.
16. Rule number three which can be summarized as love for others or kapwa is substantially
connected to the rule number two. Jacinto noted that holiness could be manifested
through the service that we extend to others and not just by following the teachings of
the church.
Rule number four is a direct challenge to the espoused mythology of the Spaniards
regarding their racial superiority. It is good to mention that the Katipunan values the
human person.
17. Rule number five of the Kartilya showcased the importance given by the Katipunan
organization to the honor that is innate to human beings. In Filipino society, Honor is
Fundamental part of being human . This rule can be best understood in the context of
recruiting members of the Katipunan to reflect on their social condition.
Rule number six is a simple reminder to all members of the Katipunan to value their
word. In a society that value communal relationship, words are considered contract
that bind the parties together.
18. Rule number seven clearly indicates the importance of accomplishing the task assigned
to the anak ng bayan: The dedication to work and the commitment to the katiparan of
the members of the Katipunan is a clear testament that the Filipinos are not indolent.
Historical documents show that the members of the Katipunan were working class.
Rule number eight is an explicit message to anak ng bayan to resist oppression.
Members of the secret patriotic society were always reminded to bear in mind that
their noble obligation was to promote the common good.
19. Rule number nine Reminds the anak ng bayan to be loyal to the cause of the Katipunan.
Rule number ten reiterates the very important role and expectation to man. This does
not mean to underestimate the equally important role of women in society but just a
matter of emphasizing the special role of man in the realization of the
communal/societal order.
20. Rule number eleven, showcased the important role of women in society. This is in great
contrast to the way women were treated in the Spanish colonial society in which
women were expected to just follow and be always subservient to their husbands.
Rule number twelve the religious aspect of the brotherhood was clearly stated wherein
love and respect for our brethren are emphasized. At one point this can also be
considered as a way of convincing the people that the cause of the Katipunan was noble
and sacred.
21. Rule number Thirteen is a reiteration of the equality of human race. This is a clear
political statement against the existing hegemony espousing the colonial mythology
regarding the superiority of tha Spaniards. This is a simple summary of the political cause
of the Katipunan.
The Kartilya of the Katipunan played a vital role in realizing the objectives of the secret
patriotic society. It can be glimpsed that the author of the Kartilya used the language that
could be understood by the members.
The Kartilya of the Katipunan played a vital role in realizing the objectives of the secret
patriotic society. It can be glimpsed that the
22. 7. Editorial Cartoons as Historical Mainspring
In Philippine society, good interpersonal relationship is a social form. Filipinos are naturally
a happy people. In this view, editorial cartoon is a potent tool that can be used to express
the sentiments of the people.
Since the Filipinos are happy people, Teasing as a part of the day-to-day life of an ordinary
Filipino. As Explained by the advocate of Sikolohiyang Pilipino, this attitude is natural,
especially in a country which a has strong sense of communalism. This innate character of
the Filipinos was used as weapon to criticize American Policy in the Country.
23. The art of teasing was complimented by the innate talent of the Filipinos in
painting/sketching. During the time when freedom was very limited, Filipinos used the
power of arts to liberate society.
24. ‘’Philippine Cartoons: Political Caricature of the American Era”
Alfred McCoy and Alfredo Roces 1985
Searching for the Queen
(Published in Lipang Kalabaw, January 18, 1908)
25. The cartoon shows how strong the desire of the United States to turn the interest of
the Filipinos to popular American Culture.
This was a way of directing and reframing the Filipino consciousness to American
popular culture and to divert the attention of the people from the problems besetting
the country.
This editorial cartoon depicts the search for a beautiful women who could join the
Carnival Queen contest. This activity had become a big annual event which consumed
the interest and time of the American colonial government in the Country
26. The first women who joined the contest all belonged to the wealthy families in the
Country. They were Josefina Ocampo, Purita Villanueva, Leonardo Limjap and Pilar Reyes
Cobarrubias.
But It could not be denied that the Manila Carnival was very popular. In Fact, many
prominent personalities in the nation’s history became active in the search for a queen
27. A Public Post Is Not Hereditary Crown
(Published in The Independent, May 20 1916)
28. The political cartoon show what seems to be a transfer of the crown Dr. Santos, a
politician from Tondo, to Dr. Barcelona, his brother -in-law, as if the position he
occupied was his personal property which he could give to anyone he liked.
The caricature scene is still very much relevant today. Despite the constitution provision
prohibiting political dynasty, this political practice of many farmilie in the country is still
very prevalent
29. Is the Police Force Bribed
(Published in the independent June9,1917)
30. The picture was pencilied by Fernando Amorsolo. It was a critic of the rotten system in the
colonial bureaucracy, especially in the picture force. He believed, were reponsible for
corrupting the authorities. We can still find some similarities of this situation in the present
Philippine society.
Corruption is still one of the serious problem besetting the country. Every Philippine
administration has tried its best to address problem but seems no solution is at hand to
check this malady that had been ingrained in the character of the people.
31. Where the Mosquito is King
(Published in The Philippines Free Press, April 15, 1921)
32. The editorial cartoon was a criticism against the board of Health because of its failure to
address the problem of mosquitoes in Metro Manila Which Caused the outbreak of
numerous diseases in Metro Manila during that period
Today despite the advance in science, the country is still beset by problems in health and
sanitation. Metro Manila for one has become so dirty that mosquitoes and other insects
and pests abound
33. The” Reign of Terror” (Published in the Philippines Free Press February 28,
1920)
The caricature shows one of the biggest challenges faced by Metro Manila at the
start of the American administration. The presence of automobiles surprised the
Filipinos in the Metro Manila Area.
35. The cartoon shows the geographical realities of the city of manila situated at the
mouth of the pasig river, the capital city is a natural catch basin. this also show the
poor condition of the capital’s drainage and sewerage system.
This is the reality of Philippines politics. Many politicians are codding and protecting many
bad element in society for their own interest. During election time.
The politicians, too, resort to all kinds of cheap gimmickry to endear themselves to the
voters. It happened then it still happening todays
36. Equal work unequal salary. Why?
(Published in the independent, October 23 1915)
37. This editorial cartoon showed the unequal treatment given to teacher during the
unequal treatment given to teacher during the American period. The American teacher
were paid more and the Filipino teacher less but they performed the same job. This
was a clear manifestation of racial discrimination practiced by the colonizers
38. The new south
(Published in the Free Press, April 5 1930)
Mindanao, the land of promise. This is where the young Filipinos then were enticed to go
for a brighter future
The migration of Christian Filipinos to Mindanao and occupying the land which originally
belong to the indigenous Filipinos is one of the causes of the conflict which has existed
for decades already. But until today, the promised land has been undeveloped.
40. Spoliarium, Juan Luna’s colossal painting greets any visitor to the national museum and
one cannot help but think of its significance and relevance to the history of the country
One of the best known paintings in the country, Juan Luna’s “Spolarium” brought
