- 0:00Hello podmates. I'm How Severino and
- 0:02welcome to our new podcast series. Mga
- 0:04kwento ng kasaysayan na may koneksyon pa
- 0:07rin sa kasalukuyan. Enjoy
- 0:11listening. Ang masasabing pinakaunang
- 0:13halalan sa kasaysayan ng bansa ay may
- 0:16layuning magbuklot sa nagkawatak-watak
- 0:19na
- 0:20katipunan. Ngunit lalo pa ito nagresulta
- 0:23sa alitan dahil sa pang-iinsulto at
- 0:25issyue ng pandaraya. At noon pa man
- 0:28meron na raw pagkalat ng fake news ayon
- 0:31kay Professor Shachua. Welcome to part
- 0:34two of our episode on the Teheros
- 0:36Convention. Ang pinakaunang halalan sa
- 0:39kasaysayan ng
- 0:40[Musika]
- 0:46bansa. Balikan ko lang yung yung butohan
- 0:49no. I'm just curious about this and
- 0:51maybe others might be interested kasi
- 0:53sinabi mo nga na ang karamihan ng mga
- 0:56nandoon ay ah kasama sa magdiwang
- 0:59faction na right up to that time ay
- 1:02kaalyado ni Bonifacio supposedly o
- 1:05supposedly kaya kaya may confident si
- 1:08Bonifacio na na magtawag ng eleksyon
- 1:11dahil nga in fact he got a commitment
- 1:13from everyone na na igalang yung resulta
- 1:16' ba so ah I'm Sure, nagulat siya na
- 1:22pati yung mga supposed na kaalyado niya
- 1:24ay hindi siya binoto, no? So, I'm
- 1:28wondering ano ba yung ano ba yung
- 1:29explanation diyan? Was there a loss of
- 1:33confidence? Kasi after all ah ' ba siya
- 1:36yung supremo ' ba hinahangaan siya ng
- 1:39marami. He was considered the founding
- 1:41father of the katipunan and all of a
- 1:43sudden hindi siya binoto. O yung
- 1:45nangyari.
- 1:47Ah ako napaisip ako kasi the the the
- 1:51story the the narratives are in my mind
- 1:54no so parang ngayon parang nagkakaroon
- 1:55ako ng instant reckoning about your
- 1:58questions. Very good questions no? Bakit
- 2:01nawalan ng tiwala yung maraming mga
- 2:04leader sa Cavite kay
- 2:07Bonifacio? Ako confluence of uh two
- 2:10things. Number one, I would like to
- 2:13because we have a we have a
- 2:14documentation I would like to believe na
- 2:16iyung iyung sinasabi ni Telesporo Koo na
- 2:21Capiteno no sa kanyang diary na pagpatay
- 2:24ni Bonifacio sa mga pile really irted a
- 2:30lot of them kasi these are even if they
- 2:32were Spaniards they were still men of
- 2:34God no? Now the other the other thing is
- 2:38fake news. Okay. So noon pa man actually
- 2:41' ba ang eleksyon fake news noon pa man
- 2:44may fake news na. So ano iyung fake
- 2:46news? Number one that Bonifacio, the
- 2:49meaning of haring bayan is not hari ang
- 2:52bayan but siya yung
- 2:54hari. So basically ah ang nangyari kasi
- 2:58diyan nagkaroon ng sigawan nung dumating
- 3:00siya. Eh actually nakakatawa yan kasi
- 3:02yung Daniel Terona yun ang sigaw ng
- 3:04sigaw nung una.
- 3:07Sabi niya, "Mabuhay ang hari ng bayan."
- 3:09Mabuhay ang hari ng bayan. And then
- 3:12Bonifacio shouted, "Mabuhay ang haring
- 3:14bayan." Nobody understood. So ano yung
- 3:17sinasabi ni Bonifacio? Kino-correct niya
- 3:20si Daniel Tirona sa pagsasabi, "Mabuhay
- 3:23ang haring bayan." Yung bayan ang hari.
- 3:27Pero nobody understood that. Ang feeling
- 3:30ko, feeling ko lang ito ha. Ako again, I
- 3:32am speculating as a historian.
- 3:35Nagi-implant na si Daniel Terona ng
- 3:38false interpretation ng kung ano ang
- 3:41haring bayan by saying that is
- 3:42Bonifacio. And even Aguinaldo up to his
- 3:45old days insist that Haring Bayan was
- 3:48Bonifacio was king which is ridiculous.
- 3:51Okay? Ridiculous because Bonifacio the
- 3:54new reason why Bonifacio was dead was
- 3:57because he believed in democracy. He was
- 3:59a total Italian. He would have insisted,
- 4:01"We will not have an election today."
- 4:02Mga loko kayo. But he did not. I think
- 4:06yun nga iyung yun nga iyung ano ko eh.
- 4:08He was always believing that there
- 4:10should be a consensus. Yun yung yun
- 4:12iyung fault niya at to a fault shall we
- 4:15say that he wanted consensus. So ano pa
- 4:19yung fake news? The other fake news was
- 4:21nung nasa naik siya. Ito later na yata
- 4:23to after the Teheros Convention. Nung
- 4:25nasa Naik siya dinala daw siya. Binuat
- 4:28daw. May kwento na binuhat daw siya ng
- 4:30mga tao sa isang tono ah na kahoy dalhin
- 4:36sa simbahan hanggang doun sa eskwelahan
- 4:37which is a short distance by the way
- 4:40pero parang ang implication ay para
- 4:42siyang hari.
- 4:43Now, lumabas kwentong yan ah. Pero we
- 4:47have to we I really doubt if that was
- 4:51Bonifacio. Narinig ko lang to na um
- 4:55naglagay sila ng ibang tao toos tinawag
- 4:58nilang Bonifaso. And who would have
- 5:00known? They they just called him that.
- 5:02Ano? So may mga ganon na fake news at
- 5:05yung fake yung pang isang fake news ay
- 5:07lahat ng labanan niya ay natalo. Now
- 5:09again I will I will say that he had
- 5:12difficulty with the Spanish forces in in
- 5:14Manila and Rizal but definitely may mga
- 5:17pinanalo naman siyang laban and as the
- 5:19strategies of the revolution all the
- 5:21other victories of his commanders in
- 5:24other areas should be attributed to him
- 5:25like the victory in Antipolo. Eventually
- 5:28there was a battle there. Yun yung mga
- 5:31angas-angasan na eh walang pinag-aralan
- 5:33yan. Yan mga sina yang mga 'yung mga tao
- 5:36na katulad ni Daniel Terona 'yan ang
- 5:39kanilang narrative eh na bobo siya na
- 5:42wala siyang pinag-aralan yan and the
- 5:44other fake news is
- 5:46this na siya na yung kapatid niya ay
- 5:50kalaguyo ng
- 5:52pile at ang balak kapatid ni kapatid ni
- 5:54Bonifacio yes si Procopio. Pwede si ano
- 5:59yung mga babae yung mga babae. So ang
- 6:02mangyayari doon kino-connect na dahil
- 6:05kalaguyo ng Prile yung kapatid ni
- 6:08Bonifacio. Ang fake news ay isusuko ni
- 6:13Andres Bonifacio ang rebolusyon sa mga
- 6:15kastila. Ibig sabihin Bonipo will
- 6:19negotiate to the
- 6:21Spaniards at which of course Bonipo or
- 6:25Aguinaldo will also do in Biyak na bato
- 6:27eventually. Pero 'yun 'yung unang fake
- 6:29news. The other fake news is this. Tapos
- 6:32na 'yung Teros
- 6:34Convention, Bonifacio went to Indang and
- 6:37yung ah balita doon ay susunugin niya
- 6:41yung bayan dahil ayaw nilang magbigay ng
- 6:43pagkain. Actually that is the final
- 6:46straw that made Aguinaldo arrest
- 6:48Bonifaso na para nga susunugin pala niya
- 6:50yung indang. There was a report like
- 6:52that na ako when I was looking at the
- 6:55letters of Andres Bonifacio to Emilio
- 6:57Asinto parang feeling ko feeling ko lang
- 6:59again I am speculating as a historian
- 7:01was fake news. That's actually an
- 7:03extenuating circumstance that favors
- 7:06Aguinaldo. Kasi nga kumbaga ang sinasabi
- 7:09mo, not only did Bonifacio reject the
- 7:13leadership of Aguinaldo, ah parang
- 7:15nanggugulo pa siya in the sense ung yung
- 7:18ano Oo. I mean I mean kung kung if
- 7:22you're threatening to burn down a
- 7:24community that does not give you food at
- 7:27nasa Cavite pa yung community kumbaga
- 7:29Bailey Week ni Aguinaldo yan eh no.
- 7:32Parang ano yan uh that's a major uh
- 7:36that's a hostile action no? Yeah. That's
- 7:39not helping the revolution. Exactly. If
- 7:43if it was true ha if it was true. Ayon
- 7:45naman kay history professor Victores,
- 7:48isa pa sa ugat ng alitan ng Supremo at
- 7:50ni Aguinaldo ay ang pagkamatay ng
- 7:52kapatid ni Aguinaldo na si Chrispolo.
- 7:55Kinarang daw ng mga kaalyado ni
- 7:57Bonifacio ang mga tauhang tutulong sana
- 7:59sa labanan. Why did he block the
- 8:02reinforcements for Aguinaldo's brother
- 8:04at that crucial battle? It's hard to
- 8:06tell but I think um Balifas still wanted
- 8:10to consolidate whatever power that he
- 8:12had. Obviously talo na siya eh. You know
- 8:15the Cavitan already. Yeah. But that
- 8:17would that would that would have led to
- 8:19the defeat of the the force that he
- 8:22wanted to unite with him. I think he
- 8:24didn't know that at first. That is just
- 8:26a presumption. No he told ah kasi this
- 8:28force that was going to Pasong Santol
- 8:31was not directly under him. Yeah. So
- 8:34baka maybe it was an assertion of
- 8:36authority. Yeah. It's just speculation.
- 8:39But you know how do we know this that he
- 8:41blocked the reinforcement? I saw it in
- 8:43one of the accounts of uh at that time
- 8:45that he blocked the ano he blocked the
- 8:47reinforcements.
- 8:49How now how good would that
- 8:50reinforcement would be? It's hard to
- 8:53tell because almost at that same hour
- 8:55that he was blocking it accordingly.
- 8:57The spiders already attacked so might
- 9:00not have made any difference. Yeah. But
- 9:02then again, you know, kapatid niya
- 9:05namatay. Yeah. Exactly. So in other
- 9:06words, itong itong ugat ng alitan nila
- 9:09Aguinaldo at
- 9:10Bonifacio, may talagang personal na
- 9:13angulo at first. Y and then what
- 9:16happened? So gusto niyang umuwi ng
- 9:18Manila where supposedly he's going to
- 9:21like reorganize, reconstitute the
- 9:24Katipunan Army. But Ginaldo already
- 9:27issued the order to arrest. Uh So where
- 9:29was he arrested? Ah in Limbon, Barangay
- 9:32Limbon. Cavite pa rin to. Cavite pa rin.
- 9:351897 ang dating supremo pinaaresto ni
- 9:38Aguinaldo dito na nagsimula ang
- 9:40pagwawakas ng katipunan. Can we say that
- 9:43the Katipunan ended in Taheros? In
- 9:46Taheros? Yes. Because they decided,
- 9:48"Okay, wala ng katipunan. We just have
- 9:50kasi the katipunan was divided." Ah
- 9:51yeah. So let's unify it under this new
- 9:54concept. Well to clarify the Katipulan
- 9:57was in Cavite was divided. But the
- 9:59agreement with the supremo that if a
- 10:01government is going to be put up, the
- 10:03Katipulan will be
- 10:05dissolved. M which happened to the
- 10:08understanding of the people of Cavite of
- 10:10course delegates from Batangas. Okay.
- 10:11Tapos na ang katipunan. Okay. So he was
- 10:14arrested in Barangay Limbon and then uh
- 10:18what was the timetable after that until
- 10:21his execution or killing? The problem
- 10:23that they had with the with the uh trial
- 10:25of Polifasho was that he was transferred
- 10:27from town to town because uh imagine
- 10:29having a trial in the middle of the
- 10:31Spanish onslot.
- 10:34No. Bas records the last uh actions of
- 10:38the trial happen in Maragundon. The
- 10:40trial house is still there. Ang nasa
- 10:42tabi ni Bonifacio sa kanyang paglilitis
- 10:45ay ang kanyang kapatid na si Procopio at
- 10:47ang kanyang asawa na si Gregoria de
- 10:49Jesus.
- 10:51She was just a companion. She was
- 10:53accompanying them. Uh Bifasha was
- 10:55seriously wounded of course he was shot
- 10:57in the shoulder and he had a stab wood
- 11:00in the neck. Okay? Because when he was
- 11:03being arrested lumaban siya daw. But
- 11:07according to the accounts of ano, hindi
- 11:09daw uh he was shot and was hit no uh but
- 11:12when he fell out to the ground according
- 11:15to many of the accounts the second the
- 11:17second that happened was Ignacio pacal
- 11:22pa uh got his dagger then start
- 11:25bonifasure in the net while he was lying
- 11:27down on the ground intending to kill
- 11:29him. The description pa nga daw was
- 11:31pumasok daw yung balaraw dito sa gilid.
- 11:34Lumabas daw sa likod. That would have
- 11:37killed him. Yeah. T nakahigasan. So
- 11:40tumusok pa yung dagger talaga sa lupa. M
- 11:43Oh my. No talagang may galit. Mm. No si
- 11:46ano si uh the what there was an attempt
- 11:49da to rape. Uh I wanted to ask you about
- 11:52that. So kasama si Gregorio de Hesus
- 11:56Bonifacio's wife and witnessed a lot of
- 11:59this. Yeah. And was was she
- 12:03raped? Si Gregoria de Hesus na mas
- 12:06kilala rin sa palayaw na Oriak ay 18
- 12:09taong gulang na makilala ang 27 na taong
- 12:12gulang na si Bonifacio. ang kanilang
- 12:15pagmamahala saksi sa mahalagang yugto ng
- 12:18rebolusyon mula sa pagkatatag ng La Liga
- 12:21Filipina at pagbuo ng katipunan hanggang
- 12:24sa trahedyang tumapo sa buhay ng
- 12:27Supremo. Maging si Oriang hindi raw
- 12:30nakaligtas sa kalupitan.
- 12:32That is a big question always that
- 12:34happened. There were many assumptions
- 12:35that assumptions that she was right.
- 12:38Pero inawat daw si May witness ba? May
- 12:41account? Yeah. Iwat
- 12:45si Agapito
- 12:47Bonsol who attempted to rape her. But
- 12:51Bolifacio daw asked request of the
- 12:53soldiersag daw anuhin everything. He was
- 12:56pleading with them. So hindi daw
- 12:57nira-rape but throughout her entire
- 13:00life, she never mentioned it. So where
- 13:02did that rumor come from? Assumptions.
- 13:06Assumption lang. Yeah. Kasi talaga bang
- 13:09pinigil si Bonsoon? Did he continue with
- 13:10it? Kasi he attempted it twice. How do
- 13:13we know that he attempted it? There was
- 13:16ano sa Yeah. There was first time he
- 13:19attempted to raper. Pinigle siya t's
- 13:20there was a second time pa daw they
- 13:22attempted to raper. So the assumption
- 13:24was baka the second time or the first
- 13:26time he succeeded na. But throughout her
- 13:28entire life she never talked about it.
- 13:30In fact uh Gregora de Hesus when she
- 13:33married again she married Hulinakpil.
- 13:36Mm. M no uh never talked about Bonifacio
- 13:40again to her entire
- 13:42life. Sa dulang lakambini na isinulat ni
- 13:45Alan Palilo, tinalakay ang konsepto ng
- 13:48what if. What if nagkaroon ng
- 13:51komprontasyon si Oriang at si Aguinaldo?
- 13:53Ano kaya ang sasabihin nila sa isa't
- 13:56isa? Kasama natin ang professor ng
- 13:58teatro na si Nick Jongson para
- 14:00pag-usapan
- 14:02nito. Kasi maganda yung situation eh.
- 14:05Actually, nagkita talaga sila uh sa
- 14:07Malolos nung inaugurasyon nung isang uh
- 14:10monumento doon. Actually ang inibita ay
- 14:14si Gregoria de Hesus pero somehow
- 14:17Aguinaldo invited himself. But before
- 14:20you continue Nick no I just want to
- 14:21inform our listeners this is all imagine
- 14:23no this is not talaga it's imagine. Pero
- 14:27may actual
- 14:29historical ah occasion yun ha. Totoong
- 14:32nangyari yung okasyon na yon. ang
- 14:34in-imagine niya yung uh confrontation
- 14:37between Gregoria and Aguinaldo no so yun
- 14:42yung ano niya so ang I suppose ang gusto
- 14:45niyang palabasin is after all this year
- 14:48kailangan maibuhos ni Gregorio de Hesus
- 14:51yung galit niya kay Aguinaldo sa
- 14:54ginawang pagpatay kay Andres at saka
- 14:56yung dalawang kapatid pa ni Andres no na
- 15:00hindi na-resolve dahil ah as we all No
- 15:04ah 'yung court marshal na ginawa, yung
- 15:07court trial nila Bonifacio was really
- 15:10rigged, no? Binayaran nila yung isang
- 15:13witness para sabihin na nag nag merong
- 15:16ginagawang mga meeting si Bonifacio para
- 15:19sirain yung bagong gobyerno ni
- 15:22Aguinaldo. After that ah pinatay na yung
- 15:25magkapatid at saka hindi na nagkita uli
- 15:28si Bonifacio at saka si Gregorio de
- 15:30Hesus. In fact, sila Gregorio de Jesus,
- 15:33sila Julio Nakpel, si Asinto nagtago ng
- 15:36lahat kasi um pinahahanap sila ni
- 15:40Aguinaldo supposedly no sabi ni Hulp
- 15:43nakausap niya yung tao na pinadala ni
- 15:47Aguinaldo ah actually para patayin siya
- 15:50kasi natatakot si Aguinalno na baka ah
- 15:53balikan siya nung mga tauhan ni
- 15:55Bonifacio dahil dun sa ginawa niyang
- 15:57pagpatay. Pero doun sa confrontation na
- 15:59yon, ang pinapalabas lang yung full to
- 16:02the vista ni Gregorio de Hesus. Actually
- 16:05ninarrate lahat ni ah Gregorio de Jesus
- 16:08yon ano yung pag-aresto sa kanila ah pag
- 16:11saksak kay Andres Bonifacio yung court
- 16:15trial at saka at saka yung pagkakapatay.
- 16:19Gusto lamang niyangin si Aguinaldo to
- 16:23confess to his sins. Kaya ang ending
- 16:25niyan is pinaluluhod niya para i-admit
- 16:28niya yung kanyang kasalanan. at
- 16:30ni-reveal niya na yung sinasabi niya na
- 16:34si Agapito Bonson yung pinadala ni
- 16:37Aguinaldo para hulihin si Bonifacio ay
- 16:40ah sinamantala siya ano parang ah
- 16:44nagkaroon ng rap although hindi malinaw
- 16:47talaga yun sa mga kasaysayan kung
- 16:49talagang nangyari yung rape na yon kasi
- 16:51dun sa isang account twice na
- 16:53nag-attempt si Bonson pero ah parang
- 16:56na-foil na naman siya una nung kanyang
- 17:00mga tauhan at yung pangalawa si Thomas
- 17:02Mascardo. But anyway, I suppose for
- 17:04purposes of uh the drama, the author
- 17:07took this side na nangyari yyung rape.
- 17:11Anyway, so yun ang the play is just that
- 17:14he wants to imagine the confrontation
- 17:17between Gregoria de Jesus and Aguinaldo
- 17:20na gustong ipamukha ni Gregoria yung
- 17:24ginawa ni Aguinaldo sa kanilang
- 17:26mag-asawa. Pero syempre maganda 'yung
- 17:28ending kasi nand 'yung kneeler 'di ba?
- 17:31So he leans, Aguinado leans over the
- 17:34kneeler but you don't know if he kneels
- 17:36or not. Actually in history he never
- 17:39naelt. So yung tema nga ng
- 17:43accountability no kasi parang ah
- 17:46sinasabi niyo nga na unresolve yung
- 17:50healing ni Andres Bonifa and yung yung
- 17:53yung kapatid niya no dalawa silang ah
- 17:56ine-execute. Ah may nagsasabi nga it was
- 17:59an assassination etca no. Uh so yung
- 18:03theme na yon na yung accountability for
- 18:07an unresolved political killing of
- 18:10course that resonates to modern
- 18:12audiences no without having to mention
- 18:15any more recent uh incidents no maaring
- 18:21isang pangarap or even pantasya yun no
- 18:25na magkaroon ng ganong
- 18:27confrontation na may aamin or ay hihingi
- 18:32ng tawad or ah magkaroon ng pagkakataon
- 18:35yung biktima o yung survivors ng mga
- 18:38pinatay na i-confront kaya tinawag na
- 18:42konfrontasyon itong series of plays na
- 18:44napanood natin sa PETA no. So, M ah I
- 18:47guess yun ang yun ang ano yung yung
- 18:49dating sa maraming ah nasa audience no
- 18:51itong theme of
- 18:53accountability ah and in a way dahil nga
- 18:57um naganap nga sa stage yung ganong
- 19:00confrontation there there was a
- 19:02catharctic effect no even if no matter
- 19:04how you felt about Aguinaldo and
- 19:06Bonifasure if you just think about uh
- 19:08recent events in the Philippines parang
- 19:11'di ba parang pangarap ng maraming
- 19:13Pilipino eh no na magkaroon
- 19:15accountability. Oo. Well, that's that's
- 19:18been a major problem of ours ano from
- 19:20from the very start. Ah pero ang isang
- 19:24gusto koang banggitin actually if you're
- 19:26looking for parallels maganda yung
- 19:28Teheros Convention at saka yung nangyari
- 19:30sa Teheros Convention kasi para talagang
- 19:33ano eh ah eleksyon today eh. Ang Tahos
- 19:37Convention na masasabing pinakaunang
- 19:39halalan sa kasaysayan ng bansa tila
- 19:42hindi naging magandang simula at
- 19:44halimbawa ayon kay Professor Jongson.
- 19:48This first election marred by fraud.
- 19:51Sabi niyo nga there's various sources
- 19:53that that point to fraud. Uh did it did
- 19:57it create this wrong template for for
- 20:01our elections and and how do we how do
- 20:04we change that template? Oo. Yung siguro
- 20:09ang problema kasi doon is ah mas malalim
- 20:13kaya doun eh. Parang kwan lang siya eh.
- 20:15Parang symptom lang yan of a larger
- 20:18problem or a bigger problem no? Which is
- 20:20actually that unang-una ang electorate
- 20:23mo ah hindi naman
- 20:26talaga ah politicized or mature ano ah
- 20:31and why is that? Because uh for
- 20:34centuries uh talagang the masses have
- 20:37been
- 20:38uh left uneducated uh ignorant in many
- 20:42ways and that has worked to the benefit
- 20:45of the people in power kasi sila lang
- 20:48'yung may edukasyon at uh dahil may
- 20:50edukasyon sila may advantage na kaagad
- 20:52sila sa karong taong bayan ah with
- 20:55regards to the law, with regards to
- 20:58acquisition of property 'di ba and of
- 21:00course acquisition of power kasi
- 21:02magkakasama yun eh ah yung mga head
- 21:05natin yun din yung mayayaman at ah sino
- 21:08yung mga nasa ilalim eh yung mga ah tao
- 21:11nila nasunod-sunuran lang. So yung ah
- 21:15yung edukasyon kasi napaka-central sa
- 21:18isang democracy. From the very start,
- 21:20nageleksyon tayo ah panahon ng Castila.
- 21:24Ah sino ang nai-elect? Lahat mayayaman
- 21:27kasi ang mayayaman lamang ang pwedeng
- 21:29tumakbo bilang kapitan kapitan o
- 21:33gobernadoro. kasi sila yung may pera
- 21:36para magbayad nung mga ah kulang sa
- 21:40taxes na gusto ng prile, right? So in
- 21:44other words, uh you needed to to be rich
- 21:47to be to uh to run, right? Uh at saka
- 21:50hindi lang iyun iyung you have to be
- 21:52near the powers that be. So kung hindi
- 21:55ka gusto ng pride kahit mayaman ka hindi
- 21:57ka ma mapipili. Kaya ang daming gulo
- 21:59noon sa panahon ng reporma because of
- 22:01that no. Nung dumating ang mga Amerikano
- 22:04nagkaroon ng token na elections. Okay?
- 22:07Sino nakaboto? May requirement only
- 22:10people who are
- 22:12propertied. Only people who have so many
- 22:15who own property, lands and so on can
- 22:18vote. So again, this franchise naman
- 22:22yung karaniwang tao eh. Yung karaniwang
- 22:24tao ang ayaw sa Amerikano eh.
- 22:27Kaya nila kaya ganun yung structure kasi
- 22:30alam nila yung mga mayayaman madaling
- 22:32makuha. Ah you know mag-promise ka lang
- 22:35ng posisyon diyan. Bigyan mo ng fryer
- 22:38lance nasao na yan eh. Nasa bulsa mo na
- 22:40yan eh. Pero yung karaniwang tao yun ang
- 22:42mga tapat sa rebolusyon. So alam nila na
- 22:45malakas pa yung yung ah feeling na yon
- 22:48ng nationalism.
- 22:49Ah so the first
- 22:51elections kunyari elections ano kasi
- 22:54syempre America sila dapat
- 22:57constitutional democratic ganon so
- 23:00tumawag na eleksyon pero ang pwedeng
- 23:03bumoto lamang ay yung mga may property
- 23:06syempre sino magboboto e sila sila rin '
- 23:09ba so itong ah whole uh rule of the
- 23:14elite na ito political and economic was
- 23:17perfected under our own leaders Quezon
- 23:21among them Quezon was really very very
- 23:24astute politically ah at diyan na
- 23:26nagsimula lahat nitong ba all the
- 23:30trading between politicians 'di ba ah
- 23:34ang daming yung mga tumatakbo alam mo na
- 23:37may mga ibang dahilan sila ah para
- 23:39tumakbo ah in general the people who uh
- 23:43were elected to the national assembly
- 23:45were property owners because they were
- 23:49the ones who could afford to go to
- 23:51school. Tingnan mo ang ang kung saan
- 23:54nagwo-work more or less yung democratic
- 23:56process sa mga countries na malakas ang
- 23:59middle classes kasi yung middle classes
- 24:02are educated, right? So kahit na meron
- 24:06kang elite kung majority ang middle
- 24:09classes ah mas may may hope ang
- 24:12democracy na mag-survive ano. Ah so ang
- 24:16nakita nakita natin sa election is I
- 24:20think precisely that I think very
- 24:21significant iyung detail na hakot
- 24:25eh. Syempre itg mga leaders ng magdiwang
- 24:30alam naman natin yun ang leaders ng mga
- 24:32heneral noon mga ano din yan karamihan
- 24:35diyan ay mga ah governor sililyo mga
- 24:39mayayaman din. So may mga lupa sila at
- 24:41may mga tenants sila. So hinakot ang mga
- 24:44tenants para bumoto para sa kanya.
- 24:48So in other words ah yung nangyayari sa
- 24:51atin na forever na lang na you know
- 24:55dayaan bayaran etc is uh rooted in that
- 25:00whole equal structure in our society
- 25:02where where the rich talaga have lorded
- 25:05it over everybody else uh with their
- 25:09money and then with their money they get
- 25:11education um therefore they become the
- 25:14elite and they are elected to positions
- 25:16and While in they're in position, they
- 25:19make sure that their economic interests
- 25:21are protected so they become even
- 25:22richer. Mapansin natin, alam mo
- 25:25edukasyon hindi naman binigyan talaga ng
- 25:27importansya yan eh. Ang laki ng budget
- 25:30ng education pero walang tunay na
- 25:32education. Kasi alam ng elite na real
- 25:35education which makes people critical is
- 25:38a threat to
- 25:40them. Mahigit isang siklo na ang
- 25:42lumipas. Hanggang ngayon hati pa rin ang
- 25:44opinyon tungkol kina Aguinaldo at
- 25:47Bonifacio. Posible kayang naging mas
- 25:49matugumpay ang katipunan kung naresol ba
- 25:52ang hidwaan sa pagitan ng dalawang
- 25:54paksyon nito. sa pananaw ni Xochu,
- 25:58if the forces of Aguinaldo and Bonifacio
- 26:00were able to, you know, sortir
- 26:03differences to have one unified
- 26:06katipunan in
- 26:08Cavite, they could have uh resisted for
- 26:12quite some time uh until of course they
- 26:16were able to negotiate with another
- 26:18power which is the Americans. No, I do
- 26:20not know but
- 26:22uh there could have been a yung victory
- 26:25sana natin as a revolution yung nangyari
- 26:28nung Independence nung 1898 would have
- 26:30been more poignant in the sense that the
- 26:33forces actually were able to sort their
- 26:35differences out. Of course as as many
- 26:39elections happenity ba nung una
- 26:42Bonipacio Aguinaldo you are together ba
- 26:45you put the revolution together and then
- 26:47of course eventually mag-aaway din kayo
- 26:50which is what happened in our Teheros
- 26:53convention it happened among the
- 26:55gorillas during the war you know this
- 26:57very well they were fighting with each
- 26:58other after battling together you fight
- 27:01with each other this also happened
- 27:03during the People Power Revolution 'di
- 27:05ba uh forces to went together the left
- 27:08and the right they disintegrated and
- 27:11same with what happened with Bongbong
- 27:13Marcos and Sarah Duterte. So uh it's
- 27:16it's a repeating uh it's a repeating
- 27:19pattern which I think we have to escape
- 27:21if we're going to learn from
- 27:23history. Para naman kay Dr. Nick Jongson
- 27:27malalim ang problema natin sa kakulangan
- 27:29ng edukasyon pagdating sa eleksyon.
- 27:32Hindi na tinatanong kung ano ba yung
- 27:33tama at at mali. Ang tinatanong na lang
- 27:37eh sino ba yung mas malakas 'di ba? So
- 27:39doon ka na lang
- 27:40kumapit. Ah and ah makikita mo na siguro
- 27:45talagang ang edukasyon natin talaga has
- 27:48not improved at all. Kasi sa dami nung
- 27:52mga nagsu-support pa rin doun sa mga tao
- 27:54na ganon ' ba ano 'yun eh ah edukasyon
- 27:58talaga 'yun eh. Hindi sila marunong
- 28:01mag-isip ng critical. So hindi
- 28:03principles yung ano mga middle class
- 28:07yung ganun eh yung mga nag-aral pero
- 28:09yung karaniwang tao hindi ganon mag-isip
- 28:11eh. Ah unfortunately you know uh more
- 28:14than a century later I mean nagkaroon na
- 28:16tayo ng public school system. Ang dami
- 28:18naman edukadong Pilipino ' ba. I mean
- 28:20dami na nating ang dami ng Pilipino
- 28:22nakapag-aral pero m I guess uh the
- 28:26question is how long can we wait?
- 28:28Kailangan ba mataas ang pinag-aralan ng
- 28:31Pilipino? Ah ang dami na nating pinag
- 28:33ano ang dami na sa atin ang nakapag-aral
- 28:35na ' ba. And ah it's not just people
- 28:38like you na may PhD. I mean ang
- 28:40dami-dami nating universities and
- 28:41colleges no. It's not as if na-neglect
- 28:44talaga 'yung edukasyon ano. So siguro
- 28:46yan ah that's a very good question ' ba
- 28:50sa dami nag-aral ba't ganyan pa rin eh
- 28:52kasi yun ding system ng education natin
- 28:55is wrote it's not ano it's not uh meant
- 28:58to make you think 'di ba it cramps you
- 29:01with data uh gives you skills but uh
- 29:05dissuades your mind from thinking uh
- 29:10independently ano tayo eh parang
- 29:12vocational yung mga schools natin hindi
- 29:15tayo ay tinuturuan na mag-isip. I guess
- 29:17iyun ang isang problema kahit na
- 29:19magkaroon ka ng edukasyon na siguro this
- 29:21applies to America also ' ba nangyayari
- 29:24sa America ngayon ' ba. Yeah Doc, I I
- 29:27want I just want to end by going back to
- 29:29the play no ah kasi ah it was it was
- 29:32about accountability no. Sabi niya na
- 29:35nagtapos yung ah play yung Laambini na
- 29:38hindi mo alam kung luluhod o hindi si
- 29:40Aguinaldo no pero you could easily
- 29:44interpret that as luluhod siya no and
- 29:48ask for forgiveness and in a way uh
- 29:51there would be some kind of closure uh
- 29:54on the part of Gregoria de Hesus for
- 29:56everything that I mean what else could
- 29:57she ask for ba I mean uh no um I think I
- 30:02don't think Gregor dehesus would have
- 30:04expected closure from Aguinaldo kasi
- 30:07right after iyung nangyari ng lahat yyan
- 30:10right sa si Aguinaldo sumuko 'di ba
- 30:13tapos naging maka-amerikano siya ah and
- 30:17then he spent the rest of his life
- 30:19trying to recover uh his
- 30:24name. Nung panahon ng hapon, nakapag ah
- 30:28collaborate siya sa hapon ah sinuka din
- 30:31siya ng taong bayan. So in other words,
- 30:34maaring hindi namatay siya noong panahon
- 30:36na yon pero ilang kamatayan yung kanyang
- 30:39ah nadanas dahil sa kawalan niya ng
- 30:43paninindigan sa tama at sa totoo. May
- 30:46mga nagsasabi nga na he lived too long.
- 30:49Oo. He lived too long. Oo. Maraming
- 30:51maraming salamat ah and thank you for
