1.GENERALLY, WHEN WE THINK OF THE TERM “FILIPINO POLITICIAN,” WHAT INEVITABLY
COMES TO OUR MINDS IS “CORRUPT, ARROGANT, AND INCOMPETENT.” WE CAN’T HELP IT
THOUGH SINCE OUR OWN POLITICIANS LARGELY CONTRIBUTED TO THAT NEGATIVE PUBLIC
PERCEPTION OF THEMSELVES WITH ALL THEIR POLITICAL CIRCUSES AND SHENANIGANS.
100% (80%) corrupt
2. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE INDEED SOME TRULY GOOD ONES IN THE MIX, THEY ARE FAR AND
FEW IN-BETWEEN NOWADAYS. WHAT’S WORSE, THEIR LIKE-MINDED PREDECESSORS—MEN
OF INTEGRITY AND HONOR WHO TOOK PUBLIC OFFICE TO ACTUALLY SERVE OTHERS—ARE
LONG GONE FROM US, IN A TIME WHEN WE NEED THEM THE MOST.
3. LOOKING BACK AT THE TIME OF OUR FOREMOST POLITICAL LEADERS, THEIR THOUGHTS
AND ACTIONS PLAYED A BIG PART TO THE NATIONHOOD WE FILIPINOS ARE ALL BENEFITING
FROM NOW.
4. THEIR NATIONALISM HAS BECOME THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL REVOLT FROM ALL THE
COLONIZER AND CONQUERORS OUR COUNTRY HAS ENDURED. THE PHILIPPINES HAD BEEN
A SPANISH COLONY SINCE 1565, AND SINCE THAT TIME NUMEROUS REVOLTS BROKE OUT
CHALLENGING SPANISH RULE. THESE REVOLTS WERE DISUNITED, HOWEVER, UNTIL THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY WHEN NATIONALISM BROUGHT FORTH A MORE UNITED ANTI-
COLONIAL MOVEMENT. THIS CULMINATED IN A REVOLUTION THAT BROKE OUT IN 1896.
AFTER MUCH FIGHTING, A STALEMATE ENSUED, LEADING TO A CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN FILIPINO AND SPANISH LEADERS.

NATIONALISM PAGMAMAHAL SA BAYAN!


SPANISH IN 19 CENTURY
ADMINISTRATION AND OPPOSITION
DISUNITY FOR SUCESSFUL FREEDOM
5. THE WAY THEY BELIEVED THAT THE PHILIPPINES MUST BE RULED BY FILIPINOS PLAY A PIVOTAL
ROLE ON THE SUCCESS WE HAVE GARNERED AFTER A VERY LONG STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY. OUR
PREDECESSOR BELIEVED THAT EVERY PERSON LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES HAD THE RIGHT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THEIR OWN FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND TO CREATE A NATION-STATE THAT ADHERED
TO THEIR OWN RULES AND CUSTOMS.

OUR LEADER OR PRESIDENT


• LOVE AND BELIEF IN OUR COUNTRY. JOSE P. LAUREL FOR EXAMPLE, ENVISIONED HIS
FELLOW COUNTRYMEN HAVING ASSERTIVE NATIONALISM, WHICH IS COMMONLY KNOWN
AS FILIPINISM. THIS WAS IN AN ATTEMPT TO BRING ABOUT POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND
ECONOMIC REFORMS TO THE PHILIPPINES.
MAHALIN AND SARILING BAYAN – JOSE P. LAUREL (NATIONALISM)

ECONOMIC
FILIPINO FIRST POLICY – CARLOS P GARCIA
THIS POLICY IS THEREFORE DESIGNED TO REGAIN ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE. IT IS A NATIONAL EFFORT TO THE
END THAT FILIPINOS OBTAIN MAJOR AND DOMINANT PARTICIPATION IN THEIR OWN NATIONAL ECONOMY. THIS WE
WILL ACHIEVE WITH MALICE TOWARDS NONE AND WITH FAIRNESS TO ALL.
