    ACTIVITY 2:

    1.) Do a research work on Father Jose Burgos.


    A. Present his biography.

    - José Burgos, (born Feb. 9, 1837, Vigan, Phil.—died Feb. 17, 1872, Manila), Roman
    Catholic priest who advocated the reform of Spanish rule in the Philippines. His execution made him
    a martyr of the period preceding the Philippine Revolution.

    Burgos studied at San Juan de Letran College and the University of Santo Tomás in Manila, earning a
    doctorate of philosophy and a licentiate in canon law. His scholarship and ability enabled him to rise
    quickly within the Philippine hierarchy, serving both in the university cathedral at Manila and as
    university chaplain. He was dismayed, however, by the apathetic and reactionary attitudes of the
    clergy, who supported the most oppressive aspects of Spanish rule. In “To the Spanish People,” an
    open letter of 1871, he appealed for reform and a greater measure of self-determination for the
    Filipinos and attacked the power and privilege of the church. When 200 Filipino soldiers and workers
    mutinied at Cavite, a town across the bay from Manila, the Spanish authorities, as a retaliatory
    measure, arrested Burgos, although he was in no way associated with the revolt. On Feb. 17, 1872, he
    and two other priests, Mariano Gómez and Jacinto Zamora, were publicly executed in Manila.

    Burgos’ death, in convincing many Filipinos that Spanish rule was an intolerable evil, sparked a
    movement that was to culminate in the expulsion of the Spanish 24 years later. José Rizal, the great
    reformer and novelist, acknowledged Burgos’ contribution by dedicating his masterpiece El
    filibusterismo to him in 1891.

    B. Cite atleast two samples of his writings.

    La Loba Negra and Ang lobang itim.

    2. ) Write an essay according to his writings. Analyze how these ideas would improve the situation of
    the Filipino youth? In your opinion, are these concepts on the Filipino youth still relevant to this day?

    - One of his writings are La Loba Negra also known as the Black She Wolf these writing talks about
    the assassination of the Spanish Governor General Fernando Bustamante. In the story, at the
    Governor’s Palace ballroom, the conflict starts when Fray Totanes showed himself posturing a further
    elicit sarcastic remarks from the Governor and the misconduct act of the Auditor General Antonio
    Torralba the one’s that is in charge of the tax bills. Torralba was witnessed by Fray Totanes doing
    illegal work by collecting taxes from the merchants in exchange for fair trade. This doings was noticed
    by the governor and favored Torralba to be imprisoned in Fort Santiago, a most dreaded place for
    criminals and political prisoners at that time. This order caused the hatred of Fray Totanes and also of
    the most of the religious official, turning him into a crackdown. As a result of the jealousy of the friars,
    they organized the assassination of the governor along with his son. Also they seduced and sexually
    abused the daughter. Later the wife of the Governor, Dona Luisa who saw the brutal killing of her
    husband and son, became the La Loba Negra (The Black She-Wolf. In order for Dona Luisa to avenge
    his husband and son and the rape of her daughter, she methodically slays every friar she encounter. She
    killed over 200 priests in the span of only 2 years.

    Analyze how these ideas would improve the situation of the Filipino youth?

    - For me these ideas well improve the situation of Filipino youth in a way of knowing that in difficult
    situation or circumstances we must not forget that we should not be driven by our anger and despair to
    do immoral things just to avenge, all of it can be handled in the right way without killing.
    In your opinion, are these concepts on the Filipino youth still relevant to this day?

    - Yes it is still relevant up to this day because there are many cases or problems that are just like La
    Loba Negra many people killed their enemy or relatives due to misunderstanding.
