    ASSESSMENT TASK

    February 12-16,2023

    RIZAL 1 Rayan E. Beda


    2nd semester, A.Y. 2022-2023 Instructress

    Name: Princess Johaira I. Pagayao Course/Yr: BSSW3A

    Instructions: Based on the movie, please answer the following guide questions to assess
    further your understanding of the film and how it depicted the nineteenth-century
    Philippines.

    1. Describe the 19th century Philippines as reflected in the film.


    Answer: As the movie portrayed "Ganito kami noon, Paano kayo ngayon" The Philippines
    was conquered by Spanish Colonization for 333 years from 1565 to 1898. The movie shows
    that the priests were the most powerful during the Spanish era because they were close to
    spanish government and the powerful and rich people.

    2. Based on our lesson, what can you say about the film’s representation of the nineteenth
    century?
    Answer: According to my understanding, the film depicts the situation in the Philippines
    during the 19th century accurately. The Spaniards' enslavement and maltreated to our
    fellow Filipinos is obvious, as is their abuse of authority. Being anti-government is a suicidal
    act, which is why revolutionary parties are extremely cautious about their actions and
    revolt. Connection with the priest and the government on the other hand is advantageous
    because they may provide assistance in times of need. Priests are frequently said to be
    more influential than government officials due to their years of service. The government
    officials stayed only briefly before being transferred to another location, but the priest
    stayed for an extended period of time.

    3. What is the main question that the film seeks to answer?


    Answer: To be frank, I certainly wasn't expecting much from the film, but after watching it, I
    was astonished and swamped by the emotion of how Filipinos lived back then. "Ganito kami
    noon, Paano kayo ngayon?" It tells the story of a native farmer and the strange events that
    lead to the discovery of his true identity. "Who is Filipino?" I truly think is the main question
    discussed in the film, which Kulas, the main character, frequently brings up. Despite the fact
    that this film recreates Filipino life under the Spanish constitution, which was then replaced
    by the American administration, this question serves as a reminder of our Filipino identity
    despite Spanish rule in the Philippines.
    4. What is your personal understanding of and own reflection on the film?
    Answer: Combining being the light of the home and being a student is difficult for me. You
    get up early to go to school, but first you must complete all of your homework. You have
    prepared meals for your family to eat when you leave, and you have taken care of your
    husband and daughter , but living in the Spanish era is even more difficult because not all
    filipinos who become mothers back then were able to keep up with their studies. Now we
    have rights and advantages that they didn't have. I really can't see myself living in that era.
    Just imagine about what happened to our fellow Filipinos and our heroes who fought
    against the Spaniards so that we can enjoy peace and freedom from the envaders. Just
    imagine what happened to our Filipino women at the hands of the Spaniards and those who
    despise power. Today's women, particularly student mothers, are extremely fortunate to be
    able to study.
    "Ganito kami noon, Paano kayo Ngayon" The film portrays the social problems that existed
    at the time, including the abusive behaviour, harrasment, violence, harm, victimization,
    maltreated and oppression of Filipinos by Spaniards. Filipinos living in barrios and on farms
    are poor and uneducated. The most commonly used language in the nineteenth century
    was Spanish, and the Tagalog words used in the film are deep and difficult to understand.
    The true personality of Filipinos is frequently questioned in films. The central protagonist of
    the film, Nicolas Ocampo, also known as Kulas, encounters various definitions of the term
    "Filipino" to different people throughout his journey. Kulas met people with a variety of
    personalities. In the first part of the film, Father Gil Corcuera defines the term "Filipino" as
    Spaniards living in the Philippines. Lim, a Chinese merchant, also referred to Filipinos as
    Spaniards in the country. According to Don Tibor, Filipinos are the ones who are willing to
    accept responsibility. Kulas became aware of the truth as a result of his perceptions.
    The film makes an attempt to answer the question of who the true Filipino is.
    Another interesting concept in this film is just how Kulas' happiness decreases throughout
    his journey. Kulas discovers and learns new aspects of the world as he continues his perilous
    journey. Kulas appears to be a carefree person at the start of the film, despite having lost so
    much in his life as time went on, the sparkle in his eyes disappeared.
    I can relate to Kulas as a student who loves to travel. When I was still studying in
    elementary and high school, I didn't think much about how hard things happened to the
    Filipinos and what is the true state of our country at the hands of the Spaniards.
    It occurred to me while I was watching this movie that I am one of the lucky filipinos who
    lived in today's time because if I had lived in the time of the Spanish colonel, I might not
    have been able to handle it. While watching this film, I had several realizations and learned
    a lot. Appreciate being a Filipino; Don't be ashamed of being filipino. You should be proud of
    the entire world that you were born as a Filipino citizen because your ancestors fought
    against the Spaniards in order for you to have freedom and peace today.
