Important Thinkers of the Revolutionary
Period
JOSE RIZAL (REFORMIST)
(1861–1996)

JOSE RIZAL
 The most influential figure of the
Revolutionary period was Jose Rizal
 penned two of his most important works
 Noli Me Tangere (1887)
 El Filibusterismo (1891)
 claimed that the form of revolution that the
Philippines needed to go through is that of
intellectual revolution

JOSE RIZAL
 Believed that every Filipino should be
educated well on the concepts and
exercise of freedom and it can only be
attained by educating the masses of the
truth – a truth that is based on science
and rational thinking, and non from the
morality-based education provided by
the Church.

Period
ANDRES BONIFACIO (1863 – 1897)

ANDRES BONIFACIO
 a member of the Liga , founded by Rizal
 Bonifacio is the founder of the revolutionary society,
Katipunan
 “a man’s worth is not measured by his stations in life
either by the height of his nose nor the fairness of
skin, and certainly not by whether he is a priest
claiming to be God’s deputy. Even if he is a
tribesman from the hills and speaks only his own
tongue, a man is an honorable man if he possesses
good character, is true to his word, has fine
perceptions, and is loyal to his native land.”

Period
APOLINARIO MABINI (1864 – 1903)

APOLINARIO MABINI
 the “Sublime Paralytic” and the “Brains of the
Revolution.”
 Mabini was born to an illiterate farmer and
market vendor with seven other children in
Tanauan, Batangas
 he received scholarships and part-time jobs
teaching children, which allowed him to complete
a bachelor of Arts degree at the Colegio de San
Juan de Letran and a Bachelor of Laws at UST.

APOLINARIO MABINI
 In 1895, was struck with polio and lost the
capacity of his lower limbs.
 most influential writings:
 El Verdadero Decálogo (The True Decalogue)
 Ordenanza de la Revolución (The Ordinance of
the Revolution)
 Believed “humans are naturally good “

APOLINARIO MABINI
 “True liberty is only for what is good and
never for what is evil; it is always in
accordance with reason and the upright
and honest conscience of the individual.”
 distinguished “reason” as a key element in
the citizens’ participation in political life

APOLINARIO MABINI
 It is also the same element that should
guide revolutions because without reason,
such movement will be mere futile, if not
disastrous for the society. It is clearly
synonymous with Rizal’s call of reliance on
the “Truth.”

Period
VIRGILIO ENRIQUEZ (1942 -1994)

VIRGILIO ENRIQUEZ
 considered the Father of Sikolohiyang
Pilipino (Filipino psychology)
 Sikolohiyang Pilipino is a scientific study
derived from the experience, ideas, and
cultural orientation of the Filipinos (Yacat
2013).
○ or Indigenous Filipino Psychology, is also
known as Kapwa’s Psychology

Kapwa Psychology
 draws from folk practices as much as from
modern theory

indigenous folk beliefs and modern
psychological concepts and scientific
norms
 includes in its study the IKSP of healing
from the Babaylan and Albolaryos (native
shamans and healers)

Kapwa Psychology
 implies a call for social action
 Scholars and students are encouraged
to go to the villages to learn from the
people and in turn, serve them with the
gain knowledge.

Core Values or Kapwa
(Togetherness)
 Two categories of kapwa:
1. Ibang Tao (outsider)
 • Pakikitungo: civility
 • Pakikisalamuha: act of mixing
 • Pakikilahok: act of joining
 • Pakikibagay: act of conformity
 • Pakikisama: Being united with the group

2. Hindi Ibang Tao (insider/one-of-us)
 Pakikipagpalagayang-loob: Act of mutual
trust
 Pakikisangkot: Act of joining others
 Pakikipagkaisa: being one with others

Pivotal interpersonal
Value
 Another significant Filipino value is that
of pakikiramdam (shared inner
perception), which is considered as the
pivotal interpersonal value. Within this
value, Filipinos use their inner
perception of the other’s emotion in
order to interact with them efficiently.

Linking Socio-personal
Values
 our practice of pakikipagkapwa is that of
kagandahang loob (shared humanity), in
which this value shows an act of charity
toward others.
 The practice of bayanihan or community-
based action entails the participation of the
community on a task that is meant to
improve the quality of life and livelihood of
the members of the locality

Accommodative Surface
Values
 The bayanihan or any form of
kagandahang loob is always framed
within another set of Filipino values,
labeled as accommodative surface
values. These values include hiya
(propriety/dignity), utang na loob (debt of
gratitude), and pakikisama
(esteem/companionship).

Confrontative Surface
Values

Filipinos exhibited especially when
confronted by difficult situation these
include bahala na (determination), lakas
ng loob (guts/courage), and pakikibaka

pagpapahalagang panlipunan.
 These values include karangalan (honor),
katarungan (justice), and kalayaan (freedom), which
are essential to the preservation of Filipino societal
order and harmony.
 Moreover, these values shape a psychological unity
among Filipino communities as they build a common
perception of moral obligation to other community
who are considered members as kapwa.

Period
Zeus A. Salazar (1934 – Present)

Zeus A. Salazar
 one of the Filipino scholars who were
trained and whose methods were derived
from the West, and he argued for a shift in
perspective.
 developed his lifelong crusade for a
nationalist brand of history that became a
staple perspective for the next generation
of history students, the pantayong
pananaw.

Key Arguments of the Pantayong
Pananaw
 The primary argument of the pantayong
pananaw is the need to reorient
contemporary historians on the “right”
way of reconstructing the past based on
who is talking for whom, with whom, and
to whom

According to Salazar, there are three perspectives
by which Philippine history was and is being
written.
1. Pangkayong Pananaw (from-you-for-us)
This perspective is used by Western
historians – who used their own cultural
background and their countries’ politico-
economic agenda – in framing the events
that transpired in our country.

written.
2. Pangkaming Pananaw (from-us-for-you)
 The “pangkaming” perspective launched works
on the Philippines made by Filipinos for
Western consumption.
 It is used when a native talk to outsiders or
foreigners regarding his or her own society
and culture.
 The main goal of the pangkaming pananaw is
to correct the erroneous Western analysis of
the Philippine context.

written.
3. Pantayong Pananaw (from-us-for-us)
 Philippine history should be written and
consumed primarily by Filipinos.
 To achieve this goal, a key element needs to
be addressed – using the Filipino language in
transmitting knowledge.
 All its members use concepts and manifest
habits and behaviors whose meanings can be
understood by all, like when we say “We
Filipinos” (Tayong mga Pilipino),

Local Language for
Discourse
According to Salazar, Philippine history should be
written in the local language or dialect for two
important reasons:
 First, the local terms, when transposed to
Western language, lose their actual meanings
and historical significance.
 Second, our history should be discussed
among ourselves and not for the others. The
use of local language characterizes the
pantayong pananaw.

Local Language for
Discourse
 Salazar urged the Filipino nation to have a talastasang
bayan oriented toward discussion of Philippine history for
the Filipinos and by the Filipinos.
 Our forefathers provided us a corpus of academic studies
that served to teach and inspire. Their studies is
considered as the basis of Philippine Social Science,
which was not detached from reality and applied to the
needs and conditions of their times.
 Social Science, was about revealing the nature of social
reality. It implied that there were things to do in order to
correct or improve people’s current material condition and
consciousness. -Salazar
