Bernardo Carpio: PRESENTED BY GROUP 1D7:
Awit and Revolution PANGANIBAN, DAYAO, MOSQUEDA, VASQUEZ

SUMMARY
This portrays how the Spanish government tries to manipulate and confuse the
“indios” or Filipino by using “awit.” A writer named Benardo Carpio wrote an awit about
knights and damsel in distress in order to take the attention of the people away from the
oppression and colonization of the Spanish government.
But little the Spaniards know that this “awit” will cause the revolution and start to
open the minds of the Filipino people about oppression. Because of the carelessness of
the Spanish government they printed and distributed this “awit” to the people as much as
they can and as far as they can reach.
The story is about a love and revenge. A young prince destined to be a king when
come to a certain age. As a temporary substitute leader of Spain Don Sancho became
the temporary leader until prince Alfonso has come to an age to become a king. After
years have passed, Alfonso has been crowned as king and her sister Jimena is
recognize by men as the most beautiful woman in Spain.
A new character was introduced, Don Rubio, a friend of Don
Sancho and leader of the army of Spain. He was a close friend back
in the days when Sancho was leading Spain with great honor and
excellency. They both fall in love to Jimena but Rubio was rejected
and filled with anger and envy. On the other hand, Sancho was able
to win Jimena’s heart and out of that love a child was born named
Bernardo. Don Rubio, full of hatred and known what happened. He
decided to betray Sancho and tell to King Alfonso the “crime” they
have done.
After that, Sancho was captured and asked for mercy from
the king to marry Jimena before being executed. And out of pity, the
king agreed and lock Sancho in the dark cell leaving their child
Bernardo to Don Rubio to act as his parent and hide the identity of his
true parents.
When Bernardo grew up as a strong and empty man, he
wants to become a knight. But because of his unknown past and
roots he cannot become a knight. When the king arrived and heard
what Bernardo wants, he decided to fulfill its wish and adopt him as
the son of the king out of pity.
When Don Rubio, the foster father of Bernardo died in the battle, Bernardo decided
to avenge his father from the “Moors” or “Muslim”. After that, Bernardo accomplish its
wish and defeated the army of Moors lead by Veromilla. Out of his victory he only wishes
for one thing, to know the identity of his true parents. The king agreed if he managed to
defeat the army of Emperor Carpio known for its strong and impenetrable army. The King
knowing this information believe that Bernardo will die in the battlefield but the turn of
events has begun happen. Bernardo came back to Spain victorious and longing for its wish
to know his true parents but a new French prince is now leading Spain out of the
relationship built by King Alfonso and rejected the wish of Bernardo that filled the heart of
the man with anger and despair.
At this point, Bernardo Carpio’s energies seem to become more focused than ever.
His first act is to destroy all the King’s horses to prevent pursuit. After knowing the truth
about his parents, he is instructed first to terminate Spain’s ties of vassalage to France.
Once done, Bernardo proceed to the castle of Luna to seek out for his father. He freed his
father from prison by killing the guards but unfortunately, Sancho dies after soon the
reunion. But this does not prevent Bernardo from legitimizing his ties to his parents. He
brought his father, covered with cloth thinking that he must not be exposed to cold air.
After father, mother, and son are formally united, Bernardo pretend to discover that his
father is dead.
The awit just summarized that it’s important for the
study of the revolution in two respects. First, the
appropriation by the Tagalogs of a Spanish hero enabled
people without a history of themselves to imagine a lost past
as well as their hopes of liberation from Spanish rule.
Second, the awit reveals a form of meaningfully structuring
events.
The first point is borne out by evidence from local
histories of central and southern tagalog towns. The poet
merely affirms that the world of Bernardo Carpio is the
Philippines. In the novel, El Filibusterismo, Jose Rizal
entertains the possibility of armed revolt against Spain and
at the outbreak of the revolution in 1896, Rizal had gone to
Bernardo Carpio and said that it was time for the people to
rise against Spain.
The second point is best dealt with various
aspects of awit and national writings. Throughout the
poem, interspersed among the details of the oppressive
behavior of the friars, runs the parent-child motif introduced
by the first stanza. The laments serve as a reminder that
Bernardo has not experienced a parent’s love. The audience
response is called damay (empathy) and lament is used in
order to evoke from their audience a similar state of
receptivity for the nationalist message.
Mabini’s observation see that the first sign of genuine nationalist stirring among the inhabitants
of Manila and Cavite was a pervasive feeling of damay in a patriotic context. This is about the
execution of the three priests under the false charge of plotting a mutiny in the Cavite arsenal.
It is not just about the pity but also a consciousness of some common fate.
The last ten stanzas of Hibik summarize the Philippines’ past in terms of relationship
whose authenticity is in doubt. Spain has sent the friars here and because we had “utang na
loob” to Spain for their protective care, we gave the friars what they needed. But the friars
reciprocated it with acts of cruelty. How is it possible for a mother to oppress her own child?
Has Spain forgotten the past?
Tagalog film and magazines based their story of the
movie about those children who are separated to their
parents and face different sufferings which they face and
overcome throughout the story.
This kind of story line are famous and always a
scenario in the “awit” before because it carries emotions
of the people and the interest of the mass really caught
its attention
Because of that different illustrados notice the
story of Historia Farmosa which gave them the idea to
create other awit that will reflect the situation and
enlighten the minds of the Filipinos before. That’s when
Flores and Del Pilar created the series of awit about
Spain the “Motherland” and Philippines as its “Child.” In
the story it shows how the mother put the child into many
sufferings because of its carelessness and its ignorance
about what’s happening to the child. This result into
oppression and different abuse that the child experience.
.
This part of the story portrays the abuse and
trickery caused by the friars before. Which shows how the
mother forgot its child and how it suffered from different
abuses. After the different awits that has been published
and read by different Filipinos a secret revolutionary
society emerges which is called “Kataastaasan
Kagalanggalang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan” or
known as “KKK”. This society is lead by the man himself
Andres Bonifacio.
Bonifacio was an actor back in the day, because of
that he read many awits and memorizes a lot of its story.
His favorite is Historia Famosa of Bernardo Carpio.
Because of this he uses this awit to enlighten and explain
to its followers what is really happening to them now in the
hands of the Spaniards. Bonifacio was a great man with a
great intelligence because of that he showed to the people
base on the story of Bernardo Carpio how Bernardo in the
story faces its hardships and how he conquered them all.
He uses it as medium of explaining to the people that they
can also free themselves to the hands of its oppressors.
The writings of Bonifacio as stated, illustrates his personal
experience and nationalism. To express his desire to free his
motherland, Philippines and fellow Filipinos from the Spanish
tyranny. His best-known poem “Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Bayan (Love
for the Country of One’s Roots). He was able to deliver the
importance of layaw for every Filipinos, of how the every Filipinos
long to be with their families, and call out the oppression of his
homeland. With this, he leads and molds the Filipinos to live in the
world of awit.
Another poem of Bonifacio called “Katapusang Hibik ng

Pilipinas” (Filipinas’s Final Lament). States the injustice of the Filipino
population. This is about the sorrow, pain and lack of confidence of
Filipinos not having the freedom to talk against the Spanish
government and fear that if they do they will be punished. However
this poem also spark lots of hope for Filipinos, that the Filipinos have
the chance to achieve freedom if they fight for it.
This concludes that Bonifacio dedicates his life and

creation for his fellow Filipinos to be a freemen, to direct them
towards freedom, live freely without fear and to free Philippines
against the injustice of Spanish Government.
