the worsening rift between the Rizalistas and Pilaristas, and to help maintain unity among Filipino expatriates.

ACTIVITY 8 “TO THE YOUNG WOMEN IN MALOLOS”,
To the Women of Malolos” centers salient
points (Zaide &Zaide, 1999):
1.Filipino mothers should teach their
children the love of God, country and fellowmen.
2. Filipino mothers should be glad and
honored, like Spartan mothers, to offer their sons in defense of their country.
3. Filipino women should know how to
protect their dignity and honor.
4. Filipino women should educate
themselves aside of retaining their good racial values.
5. Faith is not merely reciting prayers
and wearing religious pictures. It is living the real Christian way with good morals and manners.
