Activity 2: Assignment Content

This document contains an assignment submitted by Nina Shrine A. Pecasales, a 1st year BSA student. The assignment asks students to identify misconceptions in Philippine history by watching videos, reading articles, and answering questions. Pecasales identifies three common misconceptions: 1) that Andres Bonifacio came from the lower class, when he actually came from the middle class, 2) that the Philippines was rich when the peso-dollar exchange rate was 2:1, when in reality this led to import dependence, and 3) that Jose Rizal and Elias were the same person, when Rizal was critiquing society through his character Ibarra.
