    Lesson 5 to 6 Assessment
    Philippine History
    October 17, 2020
    o What are your thoughts about the Martial Law and how did such event become one of
    the most notable events in Philippine History?
    - The Martial Law during Former President Ferdinand E. Marcos is an event in history that
    the Filipinos will never forget, as it was the time when we were oppressed by our own.
    The people with authority abused their power, indulged in self-interests, neglected their
    duties, and committed heinous crimes such as tax evasion and smuggling. The original
    purpose for Martial Law was for emergencies where civil forces are overwhelmed, or in
    an occupied territory. Despite its past corrupted misuse, I don't view Martial Law as
    something to be afraid of, as the one who manages it is the deciding factor of whether it
    will be good or bad.
     
    o What is the concept of democracy and what are your thoughts about the notion that
    democracy was suppressed during Martial law? If you agree, do you really think that the
    Aquino administration brought back the rights that we were once deprived?
    - Democracy rests upon the principle of majority rule and individual rights. The people are
    given the freedom to choose the leaders they deemed fit for the administrative
    positions that governs the country they are home to. Democracy provided the rights we
    were deprived of from the corrupted Martial Law. Through the power of the people and
    the Aquino administration, we once again were able to breathe peacefully, without fear,
    in our beloved country.
     
    o During the ff. colonial periods, which do you think has the most influence in our culture?
    a. Spanish Era b. US Period c. Japanese Period
    - The Spanish Colonial Period.
     
    o Cite some advantages and disadvantages that colonization has brought.
    - Advantages. Colonization brought forth diversity in almost every area. From the way
    one thinks, to delicacies, clothing, beliefs, agriculture, and more. It molded an
    environment open to change and differences. Whether we like it or not, it widened the
    horizons of the people to countless possibilities, vast knowledge, and painted one's life
    with a greater variety of colors.
    - Disadvantages. It created a barrier between people of different standings, may it be
    from status, ancestors, or beliefs. Differences may bring forth diversity, but it does not
    always bring harmony.
     
    o Would you prefer a culture that is inherently ours than a diverse one? Reasons.
    - Consistency is good, but it isn't great either. A culture that is ours does contribute to the
    roots of our own kin, but it will inevitably be suffocating. Accepting diversity doesn't
    mean we will forget our origins, it only means that we are open to the possibilities of
    something new. I view diversity not as a self-destructive path, but as an opportunity to
    new experiences and a wider view of the world.
     
    o Did the Philippines really attain liberality after the war?
    - Technically, yes.
     
    o State your NAME AND GROUP.
    - Name: Kimberly Pantoja
    Group: Kenrick Nial Tandayag, Krishia Blair Parrilla, Jessa Mae Palen
