EM.SOC.1-PHILIPPINE HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT
NAME: DEL CASTILLO, MARIA LOUISSE SCORE:__________

COURSE/SECTION: BEED EDUC 3A DATE: 19/07/21
TEST-I-ANSWER BRIEFLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY THE FF. QUESTIONS:
1. How can we inculcate among the Filipinos the value of discipline?
- By having a good leader that follows rule diligently. Filipinos

like to just follow their role models and live like them. Also in
lower government system if thy implement discipline and punish
those who abide the rules people will be afraid and just be
disciplined.
2. How can we free ourselves from the parochial practice of “tayo-tayo: or the
compadre system?
- It is quite certain that the success of any nation depends on the character
of the head of state and the character of the people in general. A strong
leader will put the interest of the nation first before anything else. A
strong leader supported by strong institutions can work towards
achieving social and economic stability for the people. However, a weak
leader in a country like the Philippines, which has weak institutions will
tend to succumb to the world-renowned Filipino Compadre system — a
system that trumps any other system in place. Worse, such a leader will
mask his weakness or understanding of the law by acting like he is above
the law. A weak leader, whether he is leading a country or a small
community tends to let praises or expressions of adoration from the
public get to his head. Because he is easily impressed by such accolades,
he also tends to become arrogant and will see criticism of him as a mere
non-constructive annoyance. Such a leader will not work towards unity
and harmony in Philippine society. Unfortunately, weak systems tend to
harbor weak leaders.

8. Explain the tobacco monopoly by Jose Basco?
- The Tobacco Monopoly refers to the 1782 economic program of Spanish

Governor General Jose V. Basco, in which tobacco production in the
Philippines was under total control of the government.
- March 1, 1782, Basco established the tobacco monopoly. Areas such as
Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Provinces, Nueva Ecija, and Marinduque were
ordered to plant tobacco.
- Only the government was allowed to buy the tobaccos. These tobaccos
were then brought to Manila to be made into cigars and cigarettes.
- Expenses incurred in running the colony were usually paid for by a
yearly subsidy called real situado sent from the Philippines' sister colony,
Mexico. This was, however, insufficient.
- The royal fiscal, Francisco Leandro de Vianna, was prompted to device a
plan to be able to raise revenues on its own.
- Thus, the birth of the Tobacco Monopoly. However, both King Carlos III
of Spain and the colonial officials did not prioritize it.
9. Identify the disadvantages brought about by the galleon trade.

pirates, privateers and ultimately state navies.
- Philippine agriculture and industry were neglected.
- It contributed to the failure of the Spanish authorities to develop
Philippine trade with China, India, Japan, and other Asian Countries that
were closer to the country and therefore travel to these countries was
cheaper.

the result that the provinces were deprived of their services.
- It enriched only a few for it was more gambling than commerce.
- Polo were the ones built the 58 out of 108 galleons in the Philippines.
10.Why did Dagohoy revolt against Spanish rule?
- Dagohoy rebellion was not a religious conflict. Rather, it was like most
of the early revolts which were ignited by forced labor (polo y
servicios), bandala, excessive tax collection and payment of tributes. On
top of these injustices of the Jesuit priests, what triggered Dagohoy most
was the refusal of the Jesuit priest to give a Christian burial to his brother
who died in a duel. This caused Dagohoy to call upon his fellow
Boholanos to raise arms against the colonial government. The rebellion
outlasted several Spanish governors-general and several missions.
11.How did the influx of liberal ideas from Europe and other parts of the world
influence Filipino nationalism?

- Many filipinos were arrested but many Katipuneros also escaped including
Bonifacio.

fight the oppressive Spanish government by way of revolution?
- The meeting on August 23 was attended by about 1,000 Katipuneros and

there ensued a debate on whether they should commit themselves to an
uprising. Plata opposed the declaration of hostilities because they had few
arms and ammunition.
18.Why did Andres Bonifacio and his followers tear their cedulas?
- Bonifacio's tearing of the cedula, which set off the fires of the Revolution,

was dictated by circumstances prevailing during his time. He and his handful
of gallant men had to do it, for the cedula symbolized the social and
