The Rise Of Filipino Nationalism
-Nationalism was said to have a rooted from a strong feeling among populace that they belong to the same race. such sentiment has not yet existed in the philippines prior to the 19th century. although the cultural traits of early filipinos had striking similarities, their linguistic differences as well as the local autonomy of each political unit in archipelago barely yielded to the development of this national sentiment.
The following have been regarded in history as factors that gave rise of filipino nationalism :
1. Spread of liberalism- When spain gradually exposed the philippines to international commerce in the late 18th and 19th centuries, liberal ideas from europe filtered in.When spain opened the philippines ports in 1834 to free trade, commercialization of philippine agriculture and economic expansion greatly benefited the PRINCIPALIA in the country.
1869-The dissipation of european and american liberalism in the country was even facilitated with the opening of the suez canal.
2. Sentiment against the principles- The masses had been skeptical about the local aristocracy due to their proprtion of influence in the society. the ilocano insurresction in 1815 was a manifestation of the people's cry to mass movement.
3.Racial prejudice- the spaniards commonly regarded the filipino natives as belonging to the "inferior race" and haughtily called them as INDIOS. Spanish colonizers that the natives could not rise their " limited intelegence"instigated the enlightened filipinos to struggle for equality. jose Rizal's annotationof antonio de morga's SUCESOS DE LAS ISLAS FILIPINAS denounced the allegations of the spaniards thet the filipinos were savages and had no culture prior to the coming of western colonozers.
4. Culural changes- the educational reforms of 1863 dramatically improved the standards of education in primary level. with the implementation of a new educational system, qualified filipinos were able to pursue

It led to the formation of new nations, such as Germany and Italy during the 1870’s. Nationalism also led to the competition for more power.…

    I was surprised when the United States had control over the Philippines afterward. There was no other country that could have the better understanding the Philippines situation than the U.S. that was considering the United States also had fought for their survival from Great Britain. The Philippines had the perfect situation to promote democracy and to provide the example for other nations and colonies. American troops had burn villages, and abused the civilians. I think if I was living during the Philippine war I would’ve felt like I was a small person. Andrew Carnegie was the leader of the expansionist. He said “You seem to have about finished your work of civilizing the Filipinos.” It was about eight thousands of them who completely civilized.…

    Andrew Heywood in his book, Political Ideologies: An Introduction, explains how nationalism has changed its shape and form consistently throughout history. It came into being as a social doctrine or movement in the 18th and 19th centuries as part of revolutions to rid empires of tyrannical rulers and to impose the right of self-determination. These nationalist movements, usually undertaken by and for people, led to the formation of nation states and gave way to the doctrine of popular self-government.…

    For more than five centuries it has been, and remains, the world’s “most powerful idea”. Nationalism is a key characteristic of traditional global politics. Despite its strength however, nationalism is not as dominant a political identity as it once was. Nationalism had existed throughout human civilization; it became a major political movement, in large part because of centuries of imperialism. As countries expanded their borders through warfare and colonialism, the map of the world was completely redrawn. Geographic lines were shifted to create political entities based on the “winners” and “losers” of conflicts rather than based on ethnic lines of indigenous populations.…

    Finally, I had watch the movie Rizal, though I wasn’t able to started and ended it well. The story was great. Rizal was too brave to do that in his own country. I think he do that because of his love in the Philippines and Filipinos. He has a lot of pride in his self. His heroic deed was a good example for the Filipino. I understand most of the part but some are not clarrified to me. There’s some scenes that captures my attention, like Rizal studied well and went to different schools and travel the world to finish his studies and to become a doctor and cure his mother, he succeed because of being determined and have a goal he wants to achieved, and also there’s a scene there that he defend the Filipinos against Spaniards, because Spaniards underestimate Filipinos but then Rizal defend Filipinos because he know what a true Filipino is and he’s very proud to be a Filipino, and still we implement this thing and just like what he said in his poem “Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika, ay higit pa sa malansang isda”, this is true because even though Rizal went to different places in the world, his heart is still in the Philippines and he influence his life and works to the other people, and still today, even though there we’re millions of Filipinos go to the different side of the world, their heart and soul is still in the Philippines, misses their family and still they speak Tagalog and also they influence the language and culture of the Filipinos to the Americans, they teach some tagalong words and some gestures of the Filipinos that’s why many Americans adopted some gestures and how they look into their life and also the being lovable of the Filipinos, if they really love the person, they give all, they sacrifice, that’s why most of the Americans love and marry Filipino woman, just like Rizal, because of the love to his country, to his family, he sacrifice everything, he give everything, he never ask why things happen, he let things happen and fight for it.…
