According to Dr.

Gealogo from his reading excerpts of Emilio Jacinto's


Liwanag at Dilim. He gives analysis and interpretation of Jacinto's
challenge to the Philippines' leaders in our current context based on what
Jcinto's written.
The Liwanag at dilim is a book collection of essays where the "Anak ng
Bayan, Ang ningning at ang Liwanag, Akoy umaasa, Kalayaan, Ang tao'y
magkakapantay-pantay, Ang Pag-ibig, Ang bayan at ang mga pinuno" and
other essay compilation of Jacinto was compiled as an inspirational
ideological philosophy that became a tool to the goals of Katipunan for
Philippine Freedom. It is an essay compilation where all the written works
of Jacinto was written to express the awareness and according to the aim
of our freedom equally and justifiable. The essay "Ang Tao'y Magkaka
Pantay-Pantay" gives us a way to connect ourselves to see how passionate
Jacinto was in being equal. For me, it is an excellent essay to support the
ideological concept of a government system where everybody can have
equal rights and justice to protect us against biases, the injustice system,
and social strata like what Indio suffered in the hand of the Spanish
colonization. The reason why Jacinto wrote the essay is that he wants to
open our eyes to the real situation where the Philippines has been slaved
for a very long time and being punished under the system of the abusive
foreign superior who stole our land from us.
